Denver International Airport hit pause Thursday afternoon as thunderstorms unleashed microbursts—sudden, violent downdrafts—that grounded departures across multiple air traffic control zones. With severe weather forecasted for the Front Range, including damaging winds and large hail, officials hoped to lift the ground stop by 4:15 PM but warned a 30-60% chance it could extend. If you were flying in or out of Denver, you felt the storm’s impact firsthand—weather’s power to disrupt even the simplest trips.
