Medium Probability of Delays Between 2:00 PM on 6/26 AND 3:00 PM on 6/26
During this time period the airport expects to experience thunderstorms which will cause a medium likelihood that flights will experience delays.
Thunderstorms are potentially deadly for aircraft, mainly because of the unpredictable and severe winds that are associated with these storms. That wind causes a significant risk to landing aircraft and so airports will typically close during thunderstorms.
Lightning can also cause a hazard to ground staff, so airports may decide to stop servicing aircraft on the ground during these storms and for a period of time after they have passed.
Here is a look at what the forecast conditions are and what is required for normal operation:
Normal | Forecast | |
Conditions | None | Thunderstorms |
Visibility | Greater than 2 | 10 |
Wind | Less than 11.8 MPH | 9.4 MPH gusting to 29.4 MPH |
Clouds | Higher than 1,000 | Clear |
