High probability of thunderstorms at my departure, connecting, and destination airports on Sunday. 
Glad DL was nice enough to issue an ATL waiver.

Oh cool. Unfortunately, I arrive at 12AM and leave at 6 on sunday so I don't have much time. Plus family which'll really eat away at it
Maybe we can bump into eachother at Crabby Joes at some point

I'm glad to be home
we paid a surprise visit to ATL yesterday morning; originally booked on the 0600 DCA-JFK-SEA, at 0438 Delta Messenger told me that the JFK departure was delayed to 0715 (presumably pre-emptive for traffic) ... had to give up C+ (717 and 763) for Row 32 on a 320 and aft exit row on a 757 (~40-min E-A connection isn't terrible from the front of the jet, which had me nervous until we blocked in about 8 min ahead of schedule in ATL), but got home almost an hour earlier than we expected

I think I'm going to switch to Monday. Tomorrow looks like it's going to be a nightmare.
ATL-DCA is always rough during IRROPS. That route has little extra space during normal operations. When things go really wrong, no seats for days.

I know it is a pain but BWI and IAD are reasonable alternatives
