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.

'This is a widespread issue affecting multiple departure facilities across the country,' the FAA said, noting that other airports in the network, ranging from ZLA in Los Angeles to ZMP in Minneapolis, are included in the affected routing.
