Flights at several major airports from New York to Dallas have been grounded Tuesday evening, sending air travel throughout the US into chaos.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced ground stops for flights leaving New York's John F Kennedy Airport, New Jersey's Newark Liberty Airport, Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

Severe thunderstorms throughout the country caused to temporary pause. A ground delay at Philadelphia International Airport and New York's LaGuardia Airport has also been issued through Tuesday night.

Flights at both JFK and Newark have been grounded until at least 5:15pm ET. Meanwhile, flights in the Baltimore and Washington area have been grounded until 5:30pm.

Each of the airports the FAA has issued a ground stop for also has a ground delay which stretches overnight into Wednesday, July 9.

As of 4:30pm ET, only Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) did not have a ground delay issued due to the oncoming storms.

Delays along the East Coast already snarled travel plans by Tuesday afternoon, with wait times at JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), and Newark (EWR) already surpassing two hours.

This is the second major weather delay at America's airports in just over a week. On June 30, a massive weather system grounded thousands of flights along the East Coast for hours.
