Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 51% delay risk for Austin departures 6–9 PM Sunday
Tailodds’ model gives the 47 departures scheduled from Austin 6–9 PM Sunday an average 51% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 35%. From the 6:00 AM CST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Austin departure delay risk 6–9 PM Sunday at 61%
What changed: 51% → 61% since the 6:00 AM CST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 48 departures scheduled from Austin 6–9 PM Sunday an average 61% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 41%. From the 4:00 PM CST 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.
