A huge line of powerful storms sweeping through the eastern U.S. will likely cause flight delays and cancellations through Tuesday night, the FAA warned.
In a statement, the agency said flash flooding and high winds could significantly impact operations at some of the nation’s busiest airports.
“We’ll do everything we can to get you to your destination, but this tough stretch of weather will likely result in delays and cancellations because safety comes first,” the FAA said.
The agency advised travelers flying into or out of New York-JFK, LaGuardia, Boston Logan, Reagan National, Philadelphia, and Newark, New Jersey, to check the status of their flight with their airline.
Forecasts from the National Weather Service on Tuesday highlighted the risk of torrential rains and possible tornados as the front moves east. While residents from New England to northern Georgia will likely see some impact, the most severe storms are expected to hit the Mid-Atlantic.
