Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 50% delay risk for Philadelphia departures 6–9 PM Friday
Tailodds’ model gives the 135 departures scheduled from Philadelphia 6–9 PM Friday an average 50% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 29%. From the 9:00 PM EST forecast (model famA-fc-v3). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Philadelphia departure delay risk 6–9 PM Friday at 58%
What changed: 50% → 58% since the 9:00 PM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 135 departures scheduled from Philadelphia 6–9 PM Friday an average 58% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 29%. From the 10:00 AM EST 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. This is a forecast, not a report of delays.
