I'm not sure if this is an issue with the original data source or in the version stored here, but the weather data time_hour column appears to be using a UTC offset (+8 for the pacific time zone).

Where the flights data is using local.

If you attempt to use the time_hour column to merge data between these two sources, you'd end up with some potentially misleading data.

Based on what I could find on the Bureau of Transportation website all time values are local.
