Detroit Metro Airport facing flight cancellations, delays during winter storm

Detroit Metro Airport dealt with nearly 300 flight delays and dozens of cancellations as a winter storm moved over Southeast Michigan Saturday, FlightAware said.

As of 9:30 p.m., 30 flights that were scheduled to depart the Romulus-based airport on Saturday have been canceled, and 176 have been delayed. 

For flights scheduled to arrive at DTW airport, 29 have been canceled and 115 have been delayed as of 8:40 p.m., FlightAware said.

Many cities in Southeast Michigan could see between 4 and 8 inches of snow by the time the storm is over. NEXT Weather meteorologist Ahmad Bajjey said the heaviest snow is expected to fall in the western two-thirds of the region. 

The storm could create tough travel conditions on Saturday night into Sunday morning, though conditions should improve by late morning as the snow exits from west to east.
