What's happening at ATL tonight
 

I'm connecting DFW-ROA.

ATL-ROA 3:27pm and 6:02pm cancelled.
9:31pm delayed until 11:50pm.

Thunderstorms in ATL caused a bunch of delays, diversions, and cancellations today

Weather in ATL

Just seems IRROPS are a bit worse than normal.
Many of the delayed are 3-5 hours as opposed to 1 1/2-3 hours.

There was an hour ground stop at ATL earlier today, which may have caused ripple delays for the rest of the day. Tornado warnings, heavy winds, trees down, etc. http://www.ajc.com/weather/storms-le...gC78WTansaMAI/

my flight out of JFK got canceled too. i asked them to fly me out of LGA, and the new flight is also delayed.

Weather in ATL and then it all moved East (i.e. through the whole line of flight to ROA)

Disruptions all over the SE last night.

Was definitely weather. As said supposed tornadoes. Super high winds. Came through midday and of course that kills the rest of the day for catch-up.

Hoping tomorrow isn't like that.

Was departing DFW for ATL on the 6:30 pm DL84 last night, but when I arrived at the airport got the email from Delta stating the flight was now departing at 1:30 AM, arriving at 4:45 AM! Luckily a TA was able to move me to an early afternoon flight which was now leaving at 8:00 PM, a whole lot better. When I finally arrived at ATL at 11 PM it looked like a refugee camp, people camped out in chairs, on the floors, everywhere, trying to get out.

Be prepared for even more of this today. Several rounds of bad storms forecast for Atlanta.

Tornado Warning for Hapeville, GA (ATL)
 

Just curious if anyone at ATL was experiencing anything procedurally out of ordinary for this. Radar spotted rotation...

Ground stop was just issued.

I'm about 2 miles east of downtown Atlanta and it's not looking good. Local forecasts are for the worst of the storm to hit the airport area in force around 9 AM EST. We're currently in a tornado watch. A cold front will join the party in the afternoon and increase the likelihood of tornadoes.
Good luck flyers, it's going to be a messy travel day.

And the rest of the Southeast. This line could prove much worse than the one Monday.

Keep an eye on the convective forecast.
