Flights at Nashville International Airport (BNA) are facing widespread cancellations and delays as Middle Tennessee remains under a Code Red Weather alert due to heavy snowfall.
As of Wednesday morning, 42 flights have already been canceled, with more disruptions expected throughout the day. Travelers are advised to check with their airlines for updates and plan accordingly as winter weather continues to impact the region.
Emergency responders conducted over 1,000 rescues as floodwaters, strong winds, and hazardous conditions swept across the state of Kentucky. Officials urge residents to avoid flooded roads, follow safety advisories, and stay updated on weather alerts as recovery efforts continue.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear provided a weather update following 24 hours of severe storms, which resulted in multiple fatalities and widespread damage.
Last month, powerful winter storm swept across central and southern states to the East Coast, creating dangerous travel conditions, power outages, and widespread disruptions. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures caused schools, businesses, and government offices to shut down across multiple states.
The storm stranded over 600 motorists in Missouri and triggered hundreds of accidents in Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. State police in Indiana reported 259 crashes by midday Monday, while Kentucky troopers dealt with 170 accidents and assisted over 280 stranded drivers. In Maryland, police responded to 123 crashes and numerous disabled vehicles.
Air travel was heavily impacted, with more than 800 flights delayed or canceled at Washington, D.C., area airports, including Reagan National and Dulles International. Chicago O’Hare saw 730 flights affected, while icy conditions shut down routes into Cincinnati, which recorded a record 8 inches of snow.
