"Kicking my vacation off with a flight that’s been delayed twice & a trash colleen hoover book in the newark airport," one person said Tuesday, June 27.

According to FlightAware, 446 flights going into or out of the airport were delayed while 538 were cancelled, as rain pummeled the state intermittently. Forty-five percent of the cancellations were United Airlines, and 38% of the delays were also United.

Monday's stormy weather left thousands of New Jersey residents without power on Tuesday, June 27 — and more thunderstorms are still a possibility, forecasters say.

As of 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, just over 100 flights were delayed and 300 cancelled at Newark Airport, FlightAware shows. That number is expected to increase as storms develop again in the afternoon and evening hours.
