Scores of arriving and departing flights were delayed at San Diego International Airport on Wednesday, the airport's website shows.
In parts of the Southeast and Florida, hundreds of flights were canceled and delayed Wednesday evening due to Hurricane Idalia. But in San Diego, the Federal Aviation Administration says flights were being delayed because of low clouds and fog.
"The only other airport that's having any type of issues right now, and it's only going to last for the next few hours, is San Diego. They still have some low clouds, low visibility, which is impacting arrivals into their airport, so you can expect a travel delay for the next few hours," Walter Williams, national traffic management officer at the FAA Command Center, said in a travel update posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, at 1:14 p.m.

A spokesperson for San Diego International also confirmed to NBC 7 that the airport had a ground delay around midday Wednesday because of fog and that it is expected to be over by 3 p.m.
Although millions of people are planning to travel soon for Labor Day weekend, the FAA said the hurricane should not impact those choosing to fly.

"With the tropical storm moving out into the Atlantic Ocean, we're not expecting any major impacts, other than maybe some low clouds in the Northeast," Williams said.
