Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts LAX departure delay risk 9 PM–midnight Saturday at 61%
What changed: 54% → 61% since the 10:00 AM PST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 78 departures scheduled from LAX 9 PM–midnight Saturday an average 61% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 29%. From the 11:00 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 delays.
