I highly doubt the T8 will stay on for the whole duration of Monday. It will probably be lifted before noon, creating a even bigger chaos for workers commuting to work.

If the red lightning warning mentioned by percysmith, that might be one of the reason. The wind is usually a lot bigger at HKIA region, than what you would feel in the city. Moreover, with the current weather condition, they might not have that capacity of staff on hand at HKIA at this hour to deal with the chaos yet. Resuming after 12, would give workers sometime to start filling in around 8~9am.
