Resolution Forecast
Model lowers SFO departure delay risk 3–6 PM Thursday to 37%, near normal
What changed: 44% → 37%; calm-weather level 41%
Tailodds’ model gives the 91 departures scheduled from SFO 3–6 PM Thursday an average 37% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 41%. From the 1:00 PM PST 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.
