00:00As we go through the upcoming days there are some spots that wind will be a bit of a factor,
00:04including a neighboring state from Nevada, California. Notice we start off things in
00:10places throughout the U.S. that will be pretty quiet around the Great Lakes and the Northeast,
00:16but we do have some trouble throughout portions of the West, including places like Denver,
00:20where we have a few afternoon thunderstorms possible. San Francisco, it's going to be about
00:25those winds. That's the minor delays that we have there, so we're dealing with that as a storm
00:29system. It kind of cuts through the interior southwest, and it's the first of two storm
00:34systems. The other one in the northwest allows for some rain in places like Seattle and Portland.
00:38Also, Reno, possibly getting in on a sprinkle, but it will be pretty windy there. Meanwhile,
00:43Salt Lake City, it's thunderstorms possible for you that will create your slowdowns. So,
00:47Seattle, Washington, periods of rain. Expect some morning travel delays there,
00:51yellow light for your morning commute. Little Rock, Arkansas, also dealing with the thunderstorms,
00:57and this is really our stormy part of the nation. In fact, Kansas City, you're waking
01:01up to a bit of wet weather. As we head throughout the day, we could see some more activity.
01:05Oklahoma City, though, major delays. Getting into the evening hours, we'll be on the watch for that
01:10risk for some severe weather late. Meanwhile, Little Rock, some showers and thunderstorms
01:14likely for you, and that's some minor delays. The I-95 corridor, no big problems here.
01:19Plenty of blue skies out there and sunshine. No travel delays. It's always nice to see that
01:26as you look across some of the Northeast. The upcoming days, where we do have the concerns,
01:30the flight cancellations, they are up. In fact, typically this time of year,
01:33we want to see around 100, maybe 300 at most flight cancellations. That's a typical day,
01:38but you can see Friday, Sunday, we're dealing with the severe weather threats across the country
01:42that will have a big impact on many hubs and plane hubs across the U.S.
01:47So, that will create flight cancellations.
