Tomorrow's forecast October 21, 2026 at 3:14 AM EDT (US Eastern).
FAA status is the current National Airspace System program, not a prediction for later today. Tomorrow's band is delay risk for the next calendar day in US Eastern time, compared with that hub's usual level, and only the 21 sampled hubs have one. The percent is the historical share of operated departures that arrived 15 or more minutes late in this calendar month.

What does each number mean?
DelayGuard checks the FAA NAS Status feed every 5 minutes. https://nasstatus.faa.gov/api/airport-status-information
A ground stop, airport closure, ground delay program, or arrival or departure delay is shown only when that program is in effect. Closures the FAA limits to general aviation are left out, the same way the rest of DelayGuard reads this feed. A daily closure is shown only during the hours the FAA lists. If the feed has not been read yet, the status says FAA status unavailable rather than no program.
Tomorrow's band is the same forecast shown on the flight cancellations tomorrow page. This page does not score it again. Airports outside those 21 hubs have no tomorrow band. If that forecast is not ready, the band says the forecast is not available yet.
DelayGuard's monthly figure from BTS On-Time Reporting. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded. The month is the current calendar month in US Eastern time. The window is January 2023 to December 2025.
