00:00 ongoing storms in the Midwest as well as

00:02 across the southeast may cause some

00:04 travel delays this weekend. Bri Guy

00:06 explains in tonight's travel forecast.

00:08 Well if you're taking a trip across the

00:11 country let's start you off with your

00:13 national travel forecast. Starting off

00:16 in the northwest where we aren't

00:17 expecting any delays though it is a

00:18 little steamy outside. Boise 105

00:21 ranging in the triple digits from Reno

00:23 to Salt Lake City. So just take care of

00:25 yourself if you do have to venture out

00:26 in the heat and we're really feeling the

00:28 heat as we head further south and that's

00:29 why we could see some minor delays in

00:31 areas like Las Vegas and Phoenix across

00:33 the desert southwest. This heat can cause

00:36 some problems on the tarmac but overall

00:38 we aren't expecting any major delays and

00:40 no delays across the rest of the region.

00:42 Now as we slide a little bit north and

00:44 east to Minneapolis well we could see

00:46 some minor delays from thunderstorms

00:48 could produce some gustier winds but we

00:50 aren't expecting any major delays from

00:52 Bismarck to Casper all the way down

00:53 towards Kansas City. Similar story as we

00:55 travel a little bit further south except

00:57 in New Orleans where we could see some

00:59 more storms that could produce some

01:00 gustier winds that can cause some minor

01:02 delays and as we slide to the southeast

01:04 major delays possible in areas like

01:06 Jacksonville where severe weather is

01:07 going to be possible especially along

01:09 the Texas Panhandle but then minor

01:11 delays possible in Miami up towards

01:12 Atlanta across the Midwest, Chicago,

01:15 Detroit minor delays possible due to

01:17 those storms that could produce some

01:19 gustier winds. No delays across the

01:21 Northeast and as you're down the I-95

01:22 corridor from New York to Philadelphia

01:24 Baltimore and Washington DC well no

01:26 delays anticipated and overall we are

01:29 running lower this week than we were

01:31 last week in terms of AccuWeather US

01:33 flight cancellation forecast.
