DENVER — More than 700 flights were delayed at Denver International Airport on Wednesday afternoon as thunderstorms moved through the Denver metro area.
DIA warned that flights could be delayed up to two hours due to thunderstorms. The airport asked travelers to check with their airline before arriving at DIA. Conditions have improved since then, and a ground stop has been lifted.
According to FlightAware, as of 7 p.m., there were 746 flight delays and 20 cancellations at DIA. The majority of the delays were on flights for Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and SkyWest Airlines.
Isolated thunderstorms were possible for the Denver metro area on Thursday afternoon with a chance of high winds, rain and hail.
Similar storms are possible through the weekend and even into Monday. Then it looks as though monsoonal moisture begins to work its way up into Colorado from the south along with temperatures falling back into the 80s.
