Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Boston departure delay risk 9 PM–midnight Saturday at 60%
What changed: 46% → 60% since the 10:00 PM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 17 departures scheduled from Boston 9 PM–midnight Saturday an average 60% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 22%. 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.
