DENVER — Denver International Airport was put on a ground stop Tuesday evening as severe thunderstorms moved across the area.
The ground stop was lifted shortly after 9 p.m.
As of 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, 179 flights were canceled and another 462 were delayed at DIA, according to Flight Aware.
Most of the cancellations – more than 100 – were Southwest Airlines flights. Other affected airlines were SkyWest Airlines, United Airlines, Mesa Airlines and Frontier Airlines.
Showers linger overnight and start to dissipate by early Wednesday morning. Wednesday will bring more showers and storms, but the strongest will be well to the south and east of Denver (La Junta, Lamar).
Thursday is a day we're keeping an eye on as the ingredients could be there for severe weather.
Only isolated storms are in the forecast for Friday and Saturday as we stay in the 80s. Mainly dry weather with relatively seasonal temperatures will be in place from Sunday into next week.
