De-escalation Forecast
Updated model puts LaGuardia departure delay risk 3–6 PM Thursday at 54%
What changed: 61% → 54% since the 4:00 PM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 112 departures scheduled from LaGuardia 3–6 PM Thursday an average 54% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 25%. From the 9:00 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.
