00:00 The rain made for a wet morning

00:01 commute across the Northeast.

00:03 You can see those slick roads in

00:05 Center County, PA earlier today,

00:06 as water just built up there

00:08 for most of the day.

00:10 However, the roads were trying to get

00:12 them to dry out for the tomorrow

00:14 morning's commute.

00:14 However, there will be some challenges

00:16 in a few spots heading into tomorrow,

00:18 so you got to keep that in mind,

00:20 especially in places like Pennsylvania.

00:22 Think about this.

00:23 The road is wet.

00:24 You get the cold air.

00:25 The rapid freeze coming in behind

00:27 this front and that's going to mean

00:29 icy spots so please use caution

00:31 out there overnight tomorrow morning.

00:32 Though where we have the issues,

00:34 mostly the Northwest Oregon lit up

00:36 on the board here for red because

00:38 we've got the heavy rain coming in.

00:40 So this is where the slowdowns will

00:42 occur as more of that moisture from

00:44 that storm system takes aim on the

00:46 West Coast so places like Medford

00:48 expect significant travel delays.

00:50 Seattle there probably some minor delays,

00:51 but Dallas headed to some major

00:53 delays as we go throughout the day,

00:55 so there will be some impacts there.

00:57 We do have more major delays here.

01:00 Found in places like Boise,

01:01 minor delays I should say in Boise,

01:03 Reno.

01:04 It's going to be about those winds

01:06 really ramping up with this storm

01:07 system as it comes in.

01:09 Will also have some breezy times in

01:11 Los Angeles with a few morning showers.

01:13 And as we work our way into the Northeast,

01:16 yes, there's no showers again.

01:17 Lots of cold air moving through,

01:19 so watch out some icy spots

01:21 possible in the morning.

01:22 But as far as flight cancellations

01:24 are concerned,

01:24 we've knocked those way down.

01:26 Now the severe weather has moved away.
