00:00A travel forecast is one with probably three or four different areas to be concerned about.

00:11We have snow in the upper Midwest, a powerhouse storm across the West.

00:15We still have a front with Tropical Rainstorm Sarah, a former tropical storm, bringing some

00:20extra thunderstorms to Florida.

00:22And we have some showers moving through parts of the Great Lakes and into the interior Northeast.

00:26So a lot of areas with minor delays.

00:29In the case of Dallas and Atlanta, we're mainly just concerned about wind, but we can still

00:32see some delays associated with that in these high-volume airports.

00:35Showers of rain in Chicago, scattered thunderstorms in Miami, a little snow into Minneapolis,

00:39and we have the rain showers into Seattle.

00:41In the Northwest, lots of activity up this way.

00:44Rain's going to be steadier for a chunk of the day in Portland.

00:47Strong wind in Northern California.

00:49Showers of rain and snow mixed in Boise.

00:52And after a quiet morning, we'll get into some showers in the afternoon into Reno, Nevada.

00:55In the Southwest, San Francisco's by far the standout here, with widespread rain, the

01:00wind picking up, and certainly some minor delays, if not even worse than that.

01:05You head up into Northern California, major delays through I-5 there.

01:08Up into the Midwest and the Plains, the Plains is especially windy in Bismarck.

01:13Slight snow here into areas around Minneapolis, so we have accumulating snow into Fargo and

01:17Grand Forks.

01:18Windy in Omaha, breezy in Kansas City, and we're breezy as well into Casper.

01:22A lot of wind across that part of the nation.

01:24Down to the South as well.

01:26Bright weather, but breezy, with minor flight delays for the South Central U.S. in each

01:31of those areas.

01:32Into the Southeast, we're windy, if not breezy, into Nashville and Atlanta.

01:36Scattered storms associated with the Front and Raleigh, showers in Jacksonville, thunderstorms

01:40into Miami.

01:41We're also dealing with some showers and rain into the Midwest, the Lower Great Lakes.

01:45Buffalo will see some of this late in the day after a quiet start.

01:48Some clouds farther north, but we're going to have showers return late in the day into

01:52Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

01:54So a lot of problem spots here.

01:56The number of flight cancellations will spike on Thursday and Friday.
