Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts LaGuardia departure delay risk 6–9 PM Thursday at 82%
What changed: 70% → 82% since the 7:00 PM EST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 102 departures scheduled from LaGuardia 6–9 PM Thursday an average 82% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 33%. From the 2:00 PM 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.
