00:00 Anyone traveling this weekend folks.

00:01 It's really all about the Northeast

00:03 and the East Coast because that's

00:04 where we have this big storm brewing.

00:07 It's moving up the coast as we speak,

00:09 sending a lot of moisture our way.

00:11 But let's examine these travel delays

00:13 due to the weather on Saturday.

00:15 We see some issues in the Great Lakes,

00:17 mainly due to wind and some rain

00:19 as you head toward the East Coast.

00:21 It's New York and northward.

00:22 We're going to have big problems

00:24 with traveling on Saturday.

00:25 Meantime, out in the West,

00:27 there could be a little bit of fog

00:29 and cloudiness which can be that

00:30 sneaky thing that delays your flights.

00:32 That could be happening for you in

00:34 Seattle and Portland to start start

00:36 your weekend also down in Los Angeles.

00:38 As a chance for some fog in the

00:40 morning on Saturday which could

00:41 impede your travel and it's pretty

00:43 hot out there away from the coast.

00:45 Meantime, Saturday in the

00:46 upper Midwest here,

00:47 we've got some wind and that'll

00:49 be the primary concern here,

00:51 especially in the morning for you in

00:53 Minneapolis and the winds will diminish.

00:55 After that, otherwise we got the

00:56 wind and some showers and some

00:58 showers into portions of the lower

01:00 Great Lakes in the Ohio Valley.

01:01 Minor delays possible.

01:02 Major delays expected in the Boston

01:04 area and for much of New England as

01:06 we head through Saturday into Saturday

01:08 night and there will be rain on

01:10 Saturday in the big cities New York,

01:12 southward to Washington DC and the

01:13 wind will really kick in as well.

01:15 Later into Saturday night,

01:16 so that could give you some

01:18 delays in all those airports,

01:19 but this is the big storm here, folks.

01:22 It's moving up the coast as

01:23 we head through the weekend,

01:25 and that's why Saturday and Sunday.

01:26 there'll be a lot more delays in the airports than there will be moving forward.
