PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The weekend’s hot and humid stretch of weather turned into damaging storms late Sunday afternoon that continued into the night.
At least 37 flights have been canceled and another 53 delayed as of 8:30 a.m. on Monday at Philadelphia International Airport, mostly with American Airlines, according to FlightAware.
The delays and long TSA lines may be spillover from the weather and staffing issues that sparked 48 cancellations into or out of PHL on Sunday.
