00:00 We do have some yellow light

00:01 concerns for you.

00:02 Reno, Boston looking at some

00:03 different setups here.

00:04 Houston also on the board,

00:06 mostly a little bit moist,

00:07 little bit wet in places like

00:09 Houston and Boston.

00:09 Houston is a passing shower.

00:11 Then we'll get brighter throughout the day.

00:13 Low clouds though persistent

00:14 throughout the day in Boston.

00:15 Reno, you're actually going to have a

00:17 bit of morning snow to contend with as

00:19 the last of that moisture kind of leaves.

00:21 California so you can see this stormy

00:23 weather still kind of setting up

00:24 across the West and we've got a lot

00:26 of wet weather here towards East,

00:28 so that's where we're going to have more

00:30 slowdowns at least more widespread ones.

00:32 As you push into the Northwest,

00:33 though,

00:33 Helena actually picks up a little bit of snow.

00:36 One to two inches throughout the day,

00:37 so some major travel delays there.

00:39 Boise looking at some rain and snow

00:41 showers in Reno.

00:41 Of course,

00:42 it's that morning snow threat that

00:44 could slow you down a bit.

00:45 Plus it's a little windy out there.

00:47 Bismarck Casper also dealing

00:48 with some of those setbacks.

00:49 Bismarck, it's the snow Casper.

00:50 It's all about the wind.

00:52 That's where we'll have those minor delays.

00:54 As we push into the southern US,

00:55 thunderstorms,

00:56 firing up Little Rock, New Orleans,

00:57 a wet day for you as we continue to

01:00 deal with the rain that very slowly

01:02 drifts off towards at least East Atlanta.

01:04 Jacksonville,

01:05 Nashville all getting in on some

01:06 of those thunderstorms,

01:08 especially during the afternoon.

01:09 That's where we'll have some

01:10 of the biggest setbacks.

01:12 So with that chance for wet weather,

01:14 Columbus,

01:14 it's major delays through the afternoon

01:16 as those thunderstorms pop up elsewhere.

01:18 Will at least have rain to contend with

01:20 in places like Detroit and Indianapolis.

01:23 As you push your way off towards East.

01:26 We're now the woods here.

01:27 Either low pressure system moving up.

01:29 The coast means more minor delays from

01:31 New York City to Washington DC.

01:33 If you are taking into the skies though,

01:35 not too bad because we aren't looking

01:37 at a lot of severe weather,

01:39 but we are going to see the trend go up

01:41 as we get more severe weather through the

01:43 week so that's where our flight cancellations

01:45 go up to 300 on Friday which is pretty

01:48 high more of a summertime day with some

01:50 of the cancellations that we'd expect.
