dailyloe.com – The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop for San Francisco International Airport on Monday night due to severe weather conditions. The stoppage began around 9:20 p.m. and was scheduled to last until 10:45 p.m. Officials stated the probability of an extension was low, at less than 30 percent. The primary cause was high winds accompanying widespread rain in the region.

Arriving flights at SFO faced significant delays averaging two hours and forty minutes. The FAA’s National Airspace System Status provided this data on the disruptions. Transportation officials advised passengers to check directly with their airlines for specific flight information. Travelers were also told to arrive early for the next couple of days due to persistent rainy and windy conditions.

KTVU meteorologists forecast that Tuesday would bring phase two of the unsettled weather pattern. They predicted periods of heavy rain and a chance of thunderstorms. These storms could potentially be accompanied by hail. The forecast indicates the disruptive weather will continue.
