Initial Forecast
Model forecasts 45% delay risk for San Diego departures 3–6 PM Friday
Tailodds’ model gives the 61 departures scheduled from San Diego 3–6 PM Friday an average 45% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 30%. From the 4:00 AM PDT forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i). This is a forecast, not a report of delays.

Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts San Diego departure delay risk 3–6 PM Friday at 56%
What changed: 45% → 56% since the 4:00 AM PDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 61 departures scheduled from San Diego 3–6 PM Friday an average 56% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 32%. 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.
