  1. Initial Forecast

    Model expects about 12 cancellations among Sacramento departures 6–9 AM Saturday

    Adding up each flight’s cancellation probability, Tailodds’ model expects about 12 of the 37 departures scheduled 6–9 AM Saturday to be cancelled (33%). With calm weather it would expect about 0. From the 8:00 PM PST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of cancellations.

  2. De-escalation Forecast

    Updated model now expects about 5 among Sacramento departures 6–9 AM Saturday

    What changed: about 12 → 5 expected cancellations since the 8:00 PM PST forecast

    Adding up each flight’s cancellation probability, Tailodds’ model expects about 5 of the 36 departures scheduled 6–9 AM Saturday to be cancelled (14%). With calm weather it would expect about 0. From the 12:00 AM PST 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 cancellations.
