Monday Flight Delays: ATL, DFW Among These Airports Facing Disruptions
Nearly two dozen major U.S. airports could see significant flight delays Monday due to cloudy skies and thunderstorms across the country. Thunderstorms across the country are causing delayed flights on Monday. As of 2:10 p.m. EDT, over 3,700 flights were delayed in the U.S., according to FlightAware. Triple-digit delays were reported Monday out of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago O'Hare and Denver. Meanwhile, Boston Logan Airport is under a ground delay due to 'low ceilings,' with cloudy skies causing more than one quarter of all arriving flights to be delayed, by an average of 88 minutes. The FAA's daily air traffic report highlights potential delays due to weather conditions in major U.S. airports from coast to coast and from Chicago to Houston. Low clouds may cause delays in Boston (BOS), New York (JFK, LGA, EWR), Philadelphia (PHL), Washington, D.C. (BWI, IAD, DCA), San Francisco (SFO) and Southern California (LAX, SAN). Thunderstorms may slow flights in Atlanta (ATL), Charlotte (CLT), South Florida (MIA, PBI, FLL), Detroit (DTW), Chicago (ORD, MDW), Houston (IAH, HOU) and Dallas (DFW, DAL). 'The main thing making weather headlines over the next couple of days willbe the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms to develop across portions of the Deep South and extending northward to the central Appalachians on Monday,' according to the National Weather Service. The forecast calls for a 'slight risk of severe thunderstorms' from Louisiana stretching northeastward to western New York, including 'scattered multi-cell clusters and some supercells, with damaging winds and large hail the primary threats, and some tornadoes are also a possibility.' In addition, stormy weather is expected across western Texas and eastern New Mexico on Monday. Summer months (June, July, August) experience the highest rates of weather-related flight delays in the U.S., with approximately one third of all flight delays caused by bad weather. The elevated summer percentage is primarily due to intense thunderstorms, the start of hurricane season and extreme heat, all of which can disrupt flight schedules. 45,000. That's how many flights the FAA manages on a daily basis in the United States. As of mid-afternoon, roughly 8% of all flights in the country are delayed Monday. Flight Delays Are Up From Last Year.
