We split our scan history into non-overlapping windows and measure how often at least one opening was actually detected, then shrink that rate toward a pooled prior so a short history can't overstate its confidence. Every number comes from real scan history. Full math on /forecasts.
Is this a guarantee that Woods Creek will open up?
No. It's a banded probability from historical scan data, not a prediction of a specific date and not a guarantee.
