Flight delays at Florida airports due to severe weather

Hundreds of flights arriving and departing from South Florida airports were affected due to severe weather on Monday.

The inclement weather forced Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to place Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) under an advisory, with ground stops issued for several hours.

The ground stops were issued until 9 p.m.

It is reported that over 2,000 flights were delayed at FLL, while MIA reported over 900 delayed flights and 50 canceled ones as of Monday evening.

Reports are that more flight delays are possible on Tuesday at airports across Florida and that the Federal Aviation Administration is considering issuing a ground stop.

This may be issued at Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Palm Beach International Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Tampa International Airport.

The severe weather which brought thunderstorms, heavy rain, and flooding, prompted several weather advisories.
