The U.S. saw another day of significant flight disruptions. After high numbers on Thursday, more than 4,100 U.S. flights were canceled and 4,300 more were delayed Friday shortly after noon ET, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware.

About 40% of all flights out of Seattle-Tacoma International and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airports had been canceled by midday Friday. Southwest Airlines’ schedule has been affected the most, with nearly 900 flights taken off the schedule for the day.

The storm system was on track to continue pushing east Friday, and airlines have issued waivers in much of the Midwest, Northeast and even parts of the South for some carriers.
