Wet Weather Impacting Flights During Easter Weekend

After a week of sunshine and warm temperatures, the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are preparing for a storm system set to bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds and travel disruptions during Easter weekend.

According to AccuWeather.com, the storms are expected to begin dumping heavy rain from the Mid-Atlantic to New England Thursday night into Friday morning, with the weather system stalling along the coast and resulting in potential flooding.

The storms should clear out by Sunday afternoon for travelers visiting family on Easter.

The thunderstorms and gusty winds will likely have an impact on travel, with roadways being slick and limited visibility reported along the East Coast. Flights are also expected to be impacted, with at least one airline already issuing travel advisories for the storm.

Delta Air Lines is waiving change fees for customers scheduled to fly Friday through the airports most likely to be impacted by the weather, including facilities in Baltimore, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

Travelers are being asked to contact their airlines to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport.
