00:00 Let's take a look at tomorrow's travel

00:01 because we do have some big setbacks

00:03 out there for you expect some major

00:05 delays on the board as you'll note.

00:07 Looking across the northern

00:08 tier of the nation,

00:09 that's where the most concern

00:10 for problems will be.

00:11 It could be a couple of showers,

00:13 some minor delays in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

00:15 You get in on some morning showers,

00:16 so it expects some minor delays there

00:18 as we take you into Los Angeles.

00:20 It's cloudy with a passing shower.

00:21 That's what we find there.

00:23 Santa Fe, New Mexico.

00:24 We're going to have gusty winds

00:25 with that chance for a shower,

00:27 so that could be problematic,

00:28 especially for airlines.

00:29 Here we are across the Northwest

00:30 and you can see some snowflakes

00:32 trying to mix into Portland and

00:34 Seattle so that can cause a few

00:35 issues as we get mostly just showers

00:37 throughout the day but in the morning.

00:39 A couple of flakes out there.

00:41 Meanwhile,

00:41 off towards the East,

00:42 here's where we start to get

00:44 into some of those reds.

00:45 Snow piling up a little bit

00:46 of that in Minneapolis.

00:48 Will also see about 1 to 3 inches in Denver.

00:50 I think it's officially around

00:52 an inch or so in Denver as you

00:54 work your way towards Casper 2 to

00:56 4 inches according to the Accuweather

00:58 Wintercast and you can see we're pretty

01:00 much right in the middle with that forecast,

01:02 so pretty likely to find that.

01:04 That's why we will have these

01:05 major delays in places like Casper

01:07 and Cheyenne in Wyoming there.

01:09 Coding to an inch of snow in Cheyenne.

01:11 Meanwhile,

01:12 Rapid City there a little bit slower

01:14 with some of that snowfall potential

01:16 and Indianapolis major delays.

01:17 Then for the afternoon drive

01:19 because of the thunderstorms,

01:20 those thunderstorms,

01:21 by the way,

01:21 will have some problems as they

01:23 work their way towards East Coast

01:25 or into the Midwest.

01:27 towards East Coast Wednesday with more flight cancellations

01:30 in the week to come.
