The Federal Aviation Administration is reporting that flights from LaGuardia, Kennedy, Newark-Liberty and even Long Island-MacArthur airports bound for Chicago's O'Hare Airport are being delayed an average of three hours -- and no Chicago-bound flights will be allowed to depart the metro area until at least 11 a.m. -- due to major thunderstorm activity in Illinois.
These back-ups have begun to lead to gate and taxi delays at Kennedy of between 16 and 30 minutes, according to the FAA.
