If I'm not mistaken the delays occurred around South Carolina. There was some severe weather (wind damage primarily) in that area and while I don't have any information that definitely points to weather damage being the cause of the delay, it certainly fits.

Actually the first delay happened somewhere between NO and Meridian MS, it arrived over an hour late there.

It caught its delay between Spartanburg and Gastonia, where it went from being 1:23 late to 4:55 late into Gastonia.
