Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 44% delay risk for Boston departures noon–3 PM Saturday
Tailodds’ model gives the 79 departures scheduled from Boston noon–3 PM Saturday an average 44% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 21%. From the 1:00 AM EST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Boston departure delay risk noon–3 PM Saturday at 61%
What changed: 44% → 61% since the 1:00 AM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 80 departures scheduled from Boston noon–3 PM Saturday an average 61% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 21%. From the 2:00 AM EST 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.
