Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 52% delay risk for Phoenix departures 6–9 PM Thursday
Tailodds’ model gives the 106 departures scheduled from Phoenix 6–9 PM Thursday an average 52% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 34%. From the 7:00 AM MST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Phoenix departure delay risk 6–9 PM Thursday at 61%
What changed: 52% → 61% since the 7:00 AM MST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 106 departures scheduled from Phoenix 6–9 PM Thursday an average 61% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 36%. From the 12:00 PM MST 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.
