The flash flood situation in parts of New Jersey on Monday prompted a ground stop at Newark's Liberty International Airport, resulting in delays in flights arriving and leaving the airport. In a post on its official X handle, the Newark Liberty International Airport said that weather conditions in New Jersey have caused flight disruptions at the airport. Passengers were asked to check with their airlines to get the status of their flight.

The ground stop was implemented amid severe weather forecasted for much of New Jersey on Monday, with a lot of rainfall expected later into the night.
