EWR storms
Line of severe thunderstorms approaching EWR going to be a long night there. Seeing many diversions 2 777’s from China landed CLE plus a 757 from LAX. |
Yikes.
We had severe thunderstorm warnings with alerts going off all yesterday and today in the Poconos (about 100 miles from EWR) . Turned out to be nothing more than heavy rain and some lightning. Nothing extraordinary; but the again, nothing extraordinary is required for EWR to go into to full melt-down mode. |
Yikes indeed.1 Arrival and 1 Departure in the last hour :eek:
It looks like tomorrow there may also be storms passing through region in the afternoon/evening. |
My AC metal YYZ-EWR flight at 2:50pm was canceled about an hour after I took off from YYG on the way to YYZ. Ended up rebooking to the first flight tomorrow morning, since I feared that I would end up spending the entire day at the airport watching rolling delays and get canceled on later. I also have zero status on AC (don’t think *G helps me at all, and this is AC plated), so I didn’t want to run the risk of falling behind everyone else if that did occur, especially since AC originally decided it would be logical to rebook me on a midday flight tomorrow. Heck of a way to start my first day back at work after a couple weeks off...with a 4:30am wakeup! :( |
Was on UA577 SFO > EWR today, diverted to IAD after holding for EWR for 2 hours. Supposedly they’re going to EWR on an 8PM departure now but I hopped at IAD as the purpose of my trip was largely in vain at that point. Fly home to Chicago from DCA tomorrow. Another big assist from the GS desk to work with me. |

Tornado watch in the Poconos now. I’m not sure how close to EWR the tornado watch is, but I can’t imagine it would be pleasant to fly through that. My parents Are trying to get from CLT-AVP. They boarded, then de-boarded, then re-boarded, and supposedly are taking off shortly. |

I believe the Tornado warning was still in effect . It was raining and lightning an hour earlier: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a8c26e00f6.jpg |
No wx in Boston but lots of delays, and a number of diversions including 85 from TLV. Crews from all the diversions are illegal and replacements are coming in from IAD and EWR, their own flights of course delayed.

Flights tomorrow are already being impacted.
My 6AM DAY->EWR was cancelled several hours ago. Only rebooking options are for a 7PM arrival. One day shot.... Not my week to travel. |

BOS ops falling apart... inbound aircraft for 1163 landed shorty after 11, didn’t get to gate (blocked) until close to midnight. Now 1220 and not boarding because there are no cleaners and gate agents can’t haul anyone at ops. Current sfo arrival
time of 4AM definitely going to get busted. Pathetic. |
The rain and wind were very bad this evening in NYC massive dump of heavy rain and wind— there was a tornado watch in the area — the weather service confirmed that a tornado of unknown strength hit NJ on Tuesday, not heard of anything similar today. I thought about going to an event at 6 pm and it was not going to happen— it was scheduled on a roof — and moved before it even started. |
Failure to locate a gate resulted in inbound 1163 to Boston sitting on the tarmac for c.45 minutes. Cleaners then unable to be located. First global services pax gets through gate before captain comes up to say crew is going illegal in ten minutes. Now we are sitting around with no gate agents present, no communication, and no seats available until at least tomorrow night. What a Charlie Foxtrot. |
