"A string of disruptive weather conditions has forced a ground delay at San Francisco International Airport on the tail end of the holiday weekend. Beginning at 10:45 a.m. Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration enacted a ground stop at SFO caused by low-ceiling clouds. SFO is "dealing with some southwesterly winds which can be impactful as well, but the ground stop is due to low ceilings, so, with that, we are expecting that to persist," National Weather Service forecaster Dalton Behringer told SFGATE."
"As of 1:30 p.m. on Monday, 211 flights have been delayed, according to FlightAware. United Airlines, the airport's largest carrier, has delayed 61 flights, followed by Southwest Airlines, which has delayed 32 flights so far on Monday. Only 63% of flights are arriving and departing on time, according to Flight View. The FAA ground delay is in effect until 11 p.m."
