00:00 Midwestern storms could make for

00:01 some major travel delays.

00:03 Brie Guy has more on that as well of

00:05 the rest of tonight's travel forecast.

00:07 Well, let's take a trip across the

00:11 country with your national travel

00:12 weather forecast starting you off

00:14 in the northwest where we aren't

00:15 really expecting any delays.

00:17 You're in the clear though it is

00:18 going to be a little steamy outside.

00:20 We're in the triple digits in Boise,

00:22 Reno and then even in the upper mid to

00:25 upper 80s along the I-5 corridor

00:26 from Seattle to Portland.

00:28 So again it is going to be toasty

00:29 outside and it's going to be even toastier.

00:32 I don't know if that's a word or

00:33 not in Las Vegas, the Phoenix,

00:35 and that's why I put a minor delay

00:37 box on this because it's so hot

00:39 that maybe the tarmac does start

00:40 to melt or there have been some

00:42 reports of people passing out in

00:44 these very hot temperatures.

00:45 So minor delays still going to be

00:47 possible as we shift a little bit

00:48 further towards our east though.

00:50 You'll notice the minor delays in

00:51 Denver and Albuquerque as well.

00:52 Well, we are expecting some storms

00:54 that could produce some gusty or

00:56 winds so that can cause some minor

00:57 delays similar story in Casper,

00:59 but across the rest of the.

01:01 Upper Midwest and northern Plains.

01:02 No delays.

01:03 You're in the clear now as we

01:04 slide a little bit further South.

01:06 You're in the clear to from Dallas,

01:08 Little Rock to New Orleans as well.

01:09 And then as we take this into the Southeast,

01:12 well, no delays really in Atlanta and Jacksonville,

01:14 but minor with the storms in Nashville,

01:16 Raleigh and even down towards Miami too.

01:18 As well.

01:18 Now as we slide towards the Midwest,

01:20 well we are anticipating some severe weather,

01:22 so major delays going to be possible

01:24 from Chicago to Detroit to Indianapolis.

01:26 Thursday though,

01:26 across the Midwest,

01:27 you're in the clear and then just

01:29 minor delays possible in areas like

01:31 Baltimore and Washington DC with the storms.
