ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Officials say Orlando International Airport will close to all commercial flights in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew.

An airport spokesman confirmed that Orlando's largest airport will close at 8 p.m. Thursday, with plans to re-open Saturday after assessing any damage from the storm.

There have already been several delays and cancellations for outgoing and incoming flights because of the hurricane headed toward central Florida.
