Flights delayed at Seattle airport due to weather conditions
SEATTLE - Post-holiday travelers found themselves waiting longer for their flights as Sunday weather conditions impacted air traffic in and out of the Seattle area. More than 60 flights were delayed and two were canceled by 9:30 a.m.
Due to low-hanging clouds in the Puget Sound region on July 5, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport experienced incoming flight delays to allow more space between landing aircraft in the lower visibility conditions.
The arrival flights to the Seattle airport were not allowed to come to the city until after 9:30 a.m. PDT, according to the FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center.

"Because a traffic management program is delaying some arriving flights, departing flight schedules may be affected. Check with your airline to determine if your flight is affected," read a statement, in part, from the FAA on Sunday.
The delays come as both post-Fourth of July visitors make their way out of the city, and thousands of people descend on Seattle for the Team USA match against Belgium.
