Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts San Diego departure delay risk noon–3 PM Friday at 55%
What changed: 47% → 55% since the 12:00 AM PDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 71 departures scheduled from San Diego noon–3 PM Friday an average 55% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 30%. From the 7:00 AM PDT 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.
