00:00 It may only be Monday,

00:01 but it's never too early to talk

00:03 about the weekend,

00:04 especially when we're talking about

00:05 one of the busiest travel weekends

00:07 of the year holiday travel across the US.

00:09 You get the picture for Saturday here.

00:11 Green means good.

00:12 Red means well,

00:13 best of luck to you and the Rockies

00:15 and the Sierra.

00:16 That's where we have some issues

00:18 in terms of snow,

00:19 even as you head out into the Wasatch.

00:21 We are looking at a storm moving

00:23 through the mountain ranges of the

00:25 West and you'll notice that there

00:26 is going to be more in the way of

00:29 snow and snow elevations at times.

00:30 That means travel across

00:31 interstates across the West.

00:33 Even as you look toward,

00:34 let's say 25 in Denver,

00:35 we could have some slick spots at times,

00:37 not the worst as you head

00:39 through central Colorado,

00:39 but as you get up into the Rockies

00:41 and again the Wasatch,

00:42 that's where we could see some issues here.

00:44 Green good in Minneapolis,

00:45 Chicago and many of our Midwest cities.

00:47 That stripe of yellow continues

00:49 with some rain and even a wintery

00:50 mix possible as we head through

00:52 the Ohio Valley.

00:53 We're going to keep an eye on that

00:54 and more rain possible for the

00:56 South Central states you can see

00:58 the Christmas Eve.

00:58 Maybe you're traveling on Sunday.

01:00 It's a somewhat similar picture.

01:01 Thankfully we lose the red so travel

01:03 not quite as difficult as we move

01:05 across our mountain ranges,

01:06 but it is going to be cool for many.

01:09 Denver quieter Kansas City,

01:10 Chicago, Memphis, Dallas.

01:10 You can see the yellow.

01:12 I'm not going to call it picture perfect,

01:14 but it is what it says it is.

01:16 It's fair, it's not the worst.

01:17 It's not the best.

01:18 It's like Goldilocks.

01:19 It's just alright.

01:20 Boston, New York, Washington DC 95 corridors.

01:21 You had through the Mid Atlantic

01:23 in the Northeast.

01:24 You're doing a OK,

01:24 so if you choose to travel on Christmas Eve,

01:27 the biggest contender you're going to have.

01:29 Well, it's everyone else on the road,

01:30 not the weather.
