00:00Damian, there is mixed bag news here.

00:03Good news and bad news for the holiday forecast.

00:05That's right.

00:05For Saturday and Sunday, there will

00:06be some travel disruptions because of the showers,

00:08because of the thunderstorms.

00:09So if you're either going to be in the airways or the roadways,

00:12expect some delays, especially on Sunday.

00:15This time of year, we normally like to see less than 300 US

00:18flight cancellations.

00:19On Sundays, it does look like we'll

00:21be above that here for us because of those thunderstorm

00:24chances, primarily across the Northeast.

00:26So yes, flight delays are definitely possible,

00:28especially on Sunday.

00:29But look at all this rainfall we're

00:30expected to see as we head into the weekend.

00:32There's also going to be some widespread wet roads out there.

00:35So that's going to slow down any drive

00:36times you might have to get to your destination for Labor Day.

00:39This is a very big holiday as far as getting out

00:42and about on the road.

00:43So that's what we're going to be watching out for that.

00:45So over the weekend, this dip in the jet stream

00:47is going to bring some comfortably warm air

00:49across the Northern Plains and the Midwest.

00:51That ridge of high pressure is actually

00:52going to bring some very hot weather

00:54across the Pacific Northwest, but across the South,

00:57across the Southeast, and across the East Coast.

01:00We are going to see some widespread showers

01:02and thunderstorms there as we head

01:03throughout your Saturday and Sunday.

01:05But once again, I've been talking

01:06about this a little bit.

01:07There is a light at the end of the tunnel

01:09because as we head into Labor Day,

01:10we're going to see beautiful weather

01:12across the Northern Plains, the Great Lakes, the Northeast.

01:15But yes, there will still be some shower and thunderstorm

01:17chances across the South and the Southeast.

01:19So if you have any Labor Day plans,

01:21heads up for any rainfall or thunderstorms that

01:24might have to cause you to bring and take

01:27those outdoor plans inside here for Labor Day.

01:29But across the Northeast, your three-day Labor Day forecast,

01:33New York, Boston, for Saturday, Sunday,

01:35we'll see some moderate conditions,

01:37more rainfall on Sunday than Saturday.

01:39But once again, the light at the end of the tunnel,

01:41look at the conditions on Monday.

01:42Sunny skies, highs in the 70s,

01:44a beautiful way to start Labor Day, right?

01:47And then for the four days, the four cities, I should say,

01:50Philly, Boston, Detroit, Baltimore,

01:52really, really nice weather here

01:53for your Labor Day holiday.

01:55And then across the Northern Plains and the Great Lakes,

01:58Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati,

02:01great weather as well, mix of 70s and 80s.

02:03And then across the South Central,

02:05we will see 80s for Dallas, Oklahoma City,

02:08San Antonio, and Memphis.

02:09So overall, some great weather.

02:10So as far as the weekend goes, Saturday, Sunday,

02:13not the best, but at least we're gonna make up for it

02:15as we head into Monday.

02:16So let's go ahead and take you right now

02:17to Raleigh, North Carolina,

02:18where we've been dealing with gusty thunderstorms here

02:21on this Friday.

02:22And it's time for the big three,

02:23where we check out the other big weather stories

02:25we're tracking here as we head into the weekend.

02:27Yeah, Raleigh's been dealing

02:28with some flash flooding earlier today.

02:30The warning has been canceled now, or it expired,

02:33but there were reports of some damage tied to flooding

02:36back around 2 p.m. or so.
