Heavy winds are expected to slow arrivals to San Francisco International Airport on Tuesday, as the Federal Aviation Administration initiated a ground stop program that will see domestic arrivals delayed by an average of 80 minutes. 

A ground stop program is designed to manage arriving flights by alerting pilots to issues at a destination, allowing them to delay flights, according to an FAA spokesperson. 

The ground stop program will be effective from 8:45 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Tuesday night. 

Maximum delays are expected to be 157 minutes, according to the FAA's National Airspace System Status tracker. 

Departures are not affected by the ground stop program.
