Ground stop at O'Hare Airport due to thunderstorms, FAA says
CHICAGO - A ground stop was issued at O'Hare Airport Monday morning due to thunderstorms.
The Federal Aviation Administration ordered departures to O'Hare to remain grounded at 7:21 a.m. The stoppage is set to expire at 8:45 a.m. with a 30% to 60% probability of being extended.
The risk of a severe thunderstorm this morning is not zero, but it’s looking mighty low because of the time of day that the storms are moving in. Their arrival will also stymie much of a warm-up, even though temperatures remained unseasonably mild overnight in the 70s for the majority of our area. Highs may get to 80, but that would be about it.
