American Airlines flights out of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport were delayed for more than an hour Wednesday by weather, officials said.

Heavy thunderstorms passing through the Northeast caused about 21 flights to be canceled and others to be rerouted, American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez said.

About eight other flights were canceled because of Tropical Storm Emily, Sanez said. The storm was about 135 miles east-southeast of Grenada, an island nation in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, Wednesday evening. Earlier this week, many flights were delayed because of airport closures due to Hurricane Dennis, officials said.
