That stop has since been lifted, but be sure to check your flight status and call ahead before the next major line of storms move in to the Queen City after 8 a.m.

The severe weather impacts are already causing problems at Charlotte Douglas with over 280 cancellations and nearly 125 delays as of 9 a.m.
