Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Miami departure delay risk 9 PM–midnight Saturday at 66%
What changed: 52% → 66% since the 7:00 AM EDT forecast (model changed)

From the 12:00 PM EDT forecast (model famB-sd-v4i). The model changed since the previous item (from famA-fc-v3), so some or all of this change comes from the new model rather than new information.
