  1. Initial Forecast

    Model forecasts 43% delay risk for LAX departures noon–3 PM Sunday

    Tailodds’ model gives the 121 departures scheduled from LAX noon–3 PM Sunday an average 43% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 28%. From the 1:00 AM PST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

  2. Escalation Forecast

    Updated model puts LAX departure delay risk noon–3 PM Sunday at 54%

    What changed: 43% → 54% since the 1:00 AM PST forecast (model changed)

    Tailodds’ model gives the 122 departures scheduled from LAX noon–3 PM Sunday an average 54% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 28%. From the 6:00 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.
