The carriers most impacted by the storms in Chicago include American Airlines, Envoy Air, SkyWest, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines.
The storms in the Midwest have also pushed back the start time of the National Weather Service’s Excessive Heat Warning for the area. The weather warning will now go into effect at 10 a.m. local time Friday and last until late Saturday.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city is ready to help those in need of relief, but asked drivers throughout the state to watch for road blowouts during the intense heat, according to WGNTV.com.
In addition, Metra trains will be reducing their speed by 10 miles per hour due to the high heat causing track problems.
