00:00 After a little snow in Denver,

00:01 we're clearing up into our Saturday,

00:03 so taking to the skies or the road

00:06 shouldn't have any weather related

00:07 travel delays. That's some good news,

00:09 but of course we've got to check out

00:11 some of the other views coming in

00:13 from around the country because not

00:15 everywhere is going to be smooth sailing.

00:18 Eastern US.

00:18 This is where we have so much of that

00:21 rainfall still streaming its way on

00:23 through for Saturday. I wish we could

00:25 get rid of it. Major delays possible

00:27 in Atlanta and we know there's

00:29 some big hubs here, so.

00:31 That's a busy airport.

00:32 You don't want to slow down.

00:33 Meanwhile, Seattle dealing with

00:35 some wet weather as well.

00:36 This is the next storm system

00:37 starting to come in here and we

00:39 are going to have some challenges

00:41 with rain in Seattle, Portland,

00:42 even towards Medford places like

00:44 San Francisco, probably squeezing

00:45 out a largely dry day,

00:46 at least for a little while before we

00:48 get into some of the shower activity.

00:50 Salt Lake City. No problems as you

00:52 work your way farther to the East.

00:54 We get in on some of the early

00:56 morning rain in Little Rock.

00:58 We get some of the major delays,

01:00 but off towards the East.

01:01 There's even bigger issues.

01:02 You can see some heavy rainfall,

01:04 thunderstorm activity,

01:04 Atlanta. You're going to have that problem.

01:06 Jacksonville for the afternoon hours.

01:08 We could have some severe thunderstorms

01:09 try to work their way on nearby,

01:11 so watch out for damaging winds and

01:13 potentially some very heavy rain

01:15 that could lead to flooding.

01:16 Nashville finishing up with

01:17 the thunderstorm activity.

01:18 So the delays are mostly in the morning hours.

01:21 I think things get a lot better

01:22 through the afternoon and evening,

01:24 and the cool blustery pattern is

01:26 starting to work its way through.

01:27 Detroit and Columbus.

01:28 It starts off as rain.

01:30 Then we dry out a little bit

01:32 throughout the day.

01:33 Buffalo some heavy rainfall likely

01:34 throughout the course of the day.

01:36 It really comes in for the later

01:38 morning hours and doesn't let up.

01:40 And New York, Philadelphia,

01:41 Baltimore, Washington,

01:42 DC all have to deal with that rainfall.

01:44 Light cancellations due to some of

01:46 the thunderstorm activity and the rainfall.

01:48 That's what's going to slow us

01:50 down right through Sunday.

01:51 Then after that,

01:52 as the winds hopefully die down,

01:54 we'll see the flight cancellations

01:55 decrease this afternoon.

01:56 decrease this week.
