Wednesday flights are being delayed or canceled throughout the Northeast due to stormy weather
Stormy weather is causing trouble for US travelers.
Multiple severe storms are causing long delays Wednesday at airports in parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, according to a report from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Airplanes destined to arrive at Boston Logan, New York City’s three international airports, Philadelphia International, Baltimore-Washington and Washington Dulles are all being delayed at their departure gates due to the weather, the FAA stated.
In New York, JFK is experiencing the worst delays, averaging more than 5 hours, while Newark and LaGuardia are reporting multi-hour delays, the Air Traffic Control System Command Center reported.
Two West Coast hubs, San Francisco International and Seattle-Tacoma International, are similarly affected by delays as they wait for the stormy weather to clear in the Northeast, according to the FAA.
All told, roughly 700 flights have been canceled today, according to Flightaware.com, which counts the highest number of canceled flights (around 200) at Newark airport followed by nearly 160 at JFK.
Based on the cloudy skies, long delays will likely persist well into the evening hours.
