Charlotte Douglas International Airport is feeling impact from a “major nor’easter” underway along the Eastern Seaboard, data shows.

As of 8:30 a.m. Monday, 152 flights had been cancelled and 15 had been delayed, including more than 80 American Airlines flights, according to FlightAware.

Nationwide, more than 5,600 flights have been cancelled, most of them headed for major airports in New England, tracking shows.

Cancellations are likely to mount during the day due to heavy snow and high winds at airports in the Northeast.

The “historic” storm rapidly intensified over the weekend off the Delaware/New Jersey coastline and it is expected to bring “very heavy snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour” to the region, along with gusts of 40 to 70 mph, the National Weather Service reportedly early Monday.

The heaviest snowfall is expected between 4 a.m. and noon Monday, officials said. High-end estimates could top 30 inches in the Boston area, with 75 mph gusts, forecasters say.

This is a developing story.
