Narrative:
There were a lot of WX deviations in my airspace, along with an active restr area. Aircraft was deviating and then instructed to fly heading 210 degrees, but was unable. Aircraft was then instructed to fly heading 220 degrees in order to keep clear of restr area. Aircraft still strayed into restr area. Aircraft was then told to fly heading 180 degrees to exit restr area. The aircraft said he couldn't do it because of WX. We were unable to recall this airspace from the military. This, and the WX, were the contributing factors.

Narrative: THERE WERE A LOT OF WX DEVS IN MY AIRSPACE, ALONG WITH AN ACTIVE RESTR AREA. ACFT WAS DEVIATING AND THEN INSTRUCTED TO FLY HEADING 210 DEGS, BUT WAS UNABLE. ACFT WAS THEN INSTRUCTED TO FLY HEADING 220 DEGS IN ORDER TO KEEP CLR OF RESTR AREA. ACFT STILL STRAYED INTO RESTR AREA. ACFT WAS THEN TOLD TO FLY HEADING 180 DEGS TO EXIT RESTR AREA. THE ACFT SAID HE COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF WX. WE WERE UNABLE TO RECALL THIS AIRSPACE FROM THE MIL. THIS, AND THE WX, WERE THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
