LAX conditions: delays?

Sitting in SFO United Club trying to figure out why the flight LAX-SFO has been sitting on runway for an hour. UA and flight aware do not seem to know its status. That plane (UA 1211) is my flight back down to LAX (UA 1124).
I see they had some rain and there are some delays but I do not see some systemic issues.

That's not LAX, that's just United being United. Just landed at LAX with clear, patchy skies, maybe 50% cloud cover at 2-3000 feet

Weather in the San Francisco Bay Area was very hazy until the last hour. Low IFR conditions is what is causing delays for you.

Thanks, this makes a bit more sense.
The flight from LAX finally took off but UA does not even show that.

Manipulate URL for later in the day after 4 pm PST, officially the next Universal day.

Thanks! This is a nice site.
If you were using this site for real time information would just use the Airport look up?
How did you get the data results for Jan 11th. I see a variety of choices under the "Products" tab. One is an "Advisories Database" but it looks like it only goes back 15 days. Is that the limit for historical searches? Is a there a best product to use for real time information?

As I said, just manipulate the URL, which contains some plain text English. The FAA hasn't changed this scheme for at least 14 years. Changing the day to Tuesday and date to 09-11-2001 and you can see how that day went at the ATCSCC: http://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_list....te&Other=Other
