Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 48% delay risk for San Diego departures 6–9 PM Sunday
Tailodds’ model gives the 58 departures scheduled from San Diego 6–9 PM Sunday an average 48% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 33%. From the 8:00 AM PDT forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts San Diego departure delay risk 6–9 PM Sunday at 63%
What changed: 48% → 63% since the 8:00 AM PDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 58 departures scheduled from San Diego 6–9 PM Sunday an average 63% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 33%. From the 12:00 PM PDT forecast (model famB-sd-v4i). The model changed since the previous item (from famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i), so some or all of this change comes from the new model rather than new information. This is a forecast, not a report of delays.
