During our visit to Magic Kingdom on August 21st, we noticed some scary-looking clouds around 3:30PM. We’re no meteorologists, but that doesn’t seem like the kind of cloud that you want to be near when it starts raining.

Around that same time, Orlando’s local NBC news affiliate WESH News reported that a ground stop was issued for Orlando Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that “Departures to Orlando International are grounded due to thunderstorms.” The current probability of extension is listed as “medium” (30-60%), but the ground stop is expected to end at 4:30PM.

FlightAware is currently reporting 83 total delays and five cancelations at Orlando Airport. We expect that number to increase throughout the late afternoon as the ground stop continues.
