It was a frigid Friday morning in western New York, where the strong winds, they were
00:05
blowing with snow.
00:07
Planes had to be de-iced at the Rochester International Airport and throughout the U.S.
00:13
today, there have been more than 2,700 flights that have been delayed and over 50 cancellations,
00:20
according to FlightAware.
00:21
So where could some of the worst travel be as we head through tomorrow?
00:25
Let's take you across the nation for our national travel outlook.
00:28
And you can see here that storm system quickly moving out to see a little bit of snow with
00:32
that front dropping into the Texas Panhandle, but it's all in New Mexico where we find the
00:37
snow.
00:38
Otherwise, very quiet through the central U.S.
00:41
You have to get into the west to find more of that action.
00:46
There will be delays in the northwest, especially Portland.
00:48
Minor delays, possibly becoming major delays farther south through Oregon.
00:52
Places like Medford expect some of those problems.
00:54
Minor delays in Reno as we get that moisture late.
00:57
San Francisco, though, major delays, and especially just north of there where we have
01:01
the heavy rainfall.
01:02
That will be of the biggest concern.
01:04
Elsewhere throughout the southwest, we're out of it.
01:06
We stay out of it for a little while, and then we're going to wait for more stormy weather
01:10
heading into early upcoming week.
01:13
Meanwhile, as we take you Saturday into New York, Buffalo, major snow delays here as there
01:18
will be some snow squalls kind of working their way on through.
01:21
These bands are like almost like snow thunderstorms, if you will.
01:25
So that's going to be one of the challenges throughout the northeast, and that can create
01:30
some delays.
01:31
Minor delays in Buffalo as we get some of the last of that snow pushing out.
01:34
We do have some major delays in places like Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C.,
01:39
because we're cleaning up from all the snow through the overnight hours.
01:43
So for Washington, D.C., for example, our snowfall ends around 7 a.m., but of course,
01:49
you still got to plow and clean things up.
01:51
That's why we have some of those delays throughout the day in Washington, D.C., especially early
01:54
on 1 to 3 inches of snow via your AccuWeather Wintercast, which you can get on the AccuWeather
01:59
app or accuweather.com anytime you have snow in your forecast.
02:03
Flight cancellations heading into the weekend.
02:05
We will have a little bit more of a challenge on Sunday, but overall, this isn't too bad
02:08
for winter day based on what the weather will bring us.
