Looking at the NWS radar out of FFC (Peachtree City), ATL is going to miss some of the heavy stuff, but it will be affected since one of those cells is to the west of them, right in the flight paths. They may get some other heavy storms later in the early evening, as there are some strong cells to the SW that could impact the airport based on the current movement of those cells.

Yeah, I flew out of DTW today, my flight was fine, but everything headed East was delayed big time. The deicing pad at the hold for 21R was packed with about 8 aircraft all headed to points east. Also saw some what I assume were diversion aircraft like an Eagle ERJ-145 (only get 135's in DTW), a CO MD-80, and two US CRJ's.

I lived these delays. I don't need a thred to tell me about them.
Actually, they were ten times worse last night.
For CO, we can't buy a break right now. If the WX is good in EWR and CLE, it sucks in IAH; if it's decent in IAH and CLE, it sucks in EWR; if it's OK in EWR and IAH, CLE gets hammered.
