The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed a ground delay at San Francisco International Airport due to an atmospheric river, affecting 151 delayed flights and 23 cancellations.
FAA noted that low clouds and gusty winds—moving at 34 mph—are influencing operations, requiring changes in flight plans that result in significant ground delays.
SFO spokesperson Doug Yakel advises travelers to sign up for flight alerts and emphasizes the importance of patience, as these delays are purely weather-related to ensure safety.
National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Gass confirmed that weather conditions necessitate a slowdown in traffic not just at SFO, but also at nearby airports in the region.
