When ATC reduces arrival/departure slots due to weather the international flights are almost always the last that are delayed/canceled. Also remember that most of the big birds fly into Newark in the early or mid-morning before the thunderstorms are usually an issue so the planes are there on the ground. Not so for the domestic flights which are either canceled or diverted before they get to the airport.
Of the domestic flights, those on regional aircraft are usually the first to get the axe.
