What is happening
The FAA reports weather ground stops for low ceilings at Austin (AUS) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) and for wind at San Francisco (SFO), along with ground delay programs at SFO and San Diego (SAN), while airlines are still recovering from Friday's nationwide air traffic control telecommunications outage.
US warning: 33% of departures are delayed or cancelled but only 4% are cancelled, with 37 airports in the red. DFW (60%), MCO (51%) and ATL (47%) are hit hardest, and the FAA lists weather ground stops at AUS, DAL and SFO while airlines finish recovering from Friday's outage. The LAS, LAX and SAN 'closed' notices only restrict non-scheduled GA traffic and do not affect airline flights.
