Severe weather conditions in the Tampa Bay area on Monday led to widespread flight disruptions at Tampa International Airport (TPA). Nearly half of the flights scheduled for the day were delayed or canceled as storms moved through the region. A ground stop was implemented for flights departing from Jacksonville to TPA due to inclement weather. Additionally, a Southwest Airlines flight experienced a delay after a possible lightning strike, which prompted the evacuation of passengers from the aircraft. The adverse weather also affected air traffic in other major airports, including Atlanta, Charlotte, Denver, Houston, Minneapolis, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, causing delays and slower flight operations.
