FlightAware reported 1,494 and 1,318 cancellations Monday and Tuesday, respectively, for all flights within, into, or out of the U.S. According to the Associated Press, the website says it typically sees about 50 to 100 canceled flights a day and the uptick was mostly due to Dorian.
Monday, Hurricane Dorian remained over the Grand Bahamas, pummeling the island as a Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds.
Dorian is forecasted to move dangerously close to Florida's east coast late Monday through Wednesday, before continuing north along Georgia and the Carolinas. More flight cancellations and delays could result along those states when the storm arrives.
