A powerful winter storm is threatening to disrupt air travel across the Northeast, with airlines warning of delays and possible cancellations at major hubs in Boston and New York. Travelers heading to airports including Boston Logan, JFK, and LaGuardia are being urged to check their flight status as snow, strong winds, and low visibility move into the region. The storm could trigger ripple effects across the country as grounded flights and missed connections impact nationwide travel.
Logan Airport in Boston has already issued a weather advisory to travelers.
“Due to winter weather and deicing operations, delays are expected. Passengers are advised to check with their airline on the status of their flight before coming to the airport,” read a message on the airport’s official X page.
Meanwhile, JFK Airport in New York issued a similar statement.
“A major snowstorm is forecast for Sunday and Monday. Significant travel impacts are expected. Travelers should check their flight status regularly with their airline before heading to the airport,” read a message on X.
The storm, which will affect areas from Eastern Pennsylvania to Maine, could make history. Blizzard Warnings have been issued along the New York City and New Jersey coastlines with snowfall beginning Sunday morning. Meanwhile, Winter Storm watches and warnings are in effect for Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Flakes will start flying on Sunday morning and will push into the Northeast by early afternoon. On Monday morning, southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island could experience blizzard conditions, with two feet of snow predicted to fall by Monday night.
Many flights are already being canceled, and it’s possible that some major airports could close due to the inclement weather expected. Airports in the northeast won’t be the only ones affected, either. Flights departing from warm, sunny Florida, for example, may also be delayed or canceled, depending on where the planes are coming from—and where they are going.
It’s important to check with your specific airline for the latest, up-to-date changes to any upcoming flights.
