Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Newark departure delay risk 9 PM–midnight Friday at 65%
What changed: 56% → 65% since the 9:00 PM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 34 departures scheduled from Newark 9 PM–midnight Friday an average 65% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 33%. From the 9:00 AM EST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+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.
