Flights departing O’Hare were also experiencing an average delay of 45 minutes.
The FAA said it expects to transition to a Ground Delay Program from a ground stop – but weather delays were causing a ripple effect, leading to both backed-up taxiways and crowded gates.
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect for some Chicago-area counties Friday evening as much of the region was placed under a severe thunderstorm watch.
