Resolution Forecast
Model lowers Phoenix departure delay risk 3–6 PM Wednesday to 33%, near normal
What changed: 41% → 33%; calm-weather level 26%
Tailodds’ model gives the 100 departures scheduled from Phoenix 3–6 PM Wednesday an average 33% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 26%. From the 1:00 PM MST 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.
