At no time did the captain of the plane or the gate agent say it was due to weather or air traffic.
The flight was further delayed due to Weather/ATC after the Mechanical problem was fixed. That's what the first Twitter message was about. Your wife was probably long gone before the Weather/ATC delay began. The second direct message you received was the agent correcting himself/herself about the initial reason. DL5531 was delayed for Mechanical and then it was later delayed for Weather/ATC.
