EWR is a disaster right now (summer t'storms)
I'm seeing flights that departed the gate 2.5 hours ago still "Departed gate, taxiing to runway" as their status. UA2674 (EWR-LAX) being one of them with a 5:02 gate departure time and it's 7:37pm as I write this.
This is also something you never want to see...EWR has a ground stop "due to other". When you click on that it says the ground stop applies to carrier UAL only and from all ATC centers.
I had several friends departing DCA today all still stuck there and/or rebooked for tomrw due to cancelled flights.
Luckily I don't fly until tomrw afternoon which should hopefully be better. Good luck to all of you out there trying to fly to/from/through the east coast today.

I flew UA3638 YUL-EWR this morning and we actually arrived early at 12:16. Took NJ Transit train to NY Penn and walked in sunshine to my hotel. No thunderstorm activity in Manhattan; mostly sunny with scattered clouds. This evening, after dinner, the sky was overcast.

UA canceled all flights LGA - IAD. No space tomorrow. not one drop of rain in either IAD orLGA. Sure glad Congress gave the airlines $54 billion of your tax dollars

For the record: Cancellations so far today:
EWR: 287 (+391 delays) United has cancelled 15% (72) of flights and 43% (204) were delayed so far...
JFK: 139
LGA: 325
What a mess....

). And the decision definitely doesn't need to be made hours ahead of time to start cancelling flights based on forecasted conditions to avoid huge amounts of passengers getting cancelled after arriving at the airport (you think it's bad during IRROPs now, just imagine all the additional people who would be showing up to the airport....)For reference here's the misery map, probably around 3-4 pm EDT, clearly large line of storms to the west which would be impacting any routes planes flying are going to be able to take. Or since it's slightly obscured, I also provided a radar view from a finalized flight(UA 2306, so the radar is from 522PM EDT).
Also guess the FAA was just bored and came up with 200+ advisories for reroutes, ground stops, ground delay plans, etc yesterday just for fun.
