CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More than 400 flights were delayed and over a dozen were canceled at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Sunday, according to FlightAware.
American Airlines flights saw the highest delay rate, with 39% of all flights for the airline delayed. Meanwhile, 33% of Delta flights were canceled.
American Airlines told WCNC Charlotte that weather at various destinations is impacting flights at this time.
WCNC Charlotte also reached Charlotte Douglas Airport about what is causing the delays and cancellations.
The outages follow a round of storms that moved through the Carolinas Saturday morning and are ahead of windy conditions to come throughout the afternoon.
The warming of the day and the winds flowing over the mountains will cause a deep mixing layer in the atmosphere, resulting in stronger winds above our heads mixing down to the surface and higher gusts as the day goes on. So, expect the highest gusts from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Close to 50 mph at the peak across the metro, so we are encouraging folks to stay weather aware today!
