00:00 Well, we had beautiful blue skies in
00:02 Chicago today as the storming weather
00:04 remained off to the West and guess what?
00:07 It's going to be still sunny and warm
00:09 or a little bit while longer,
00:11 which means smooth sailing for travelers.
00:13 But there's going to be other problems
00:16 across the north central tier of the
00:18 nation because they still are dealing
00:20 with those thunderstorms.
00:21 So if you want to get out,
00:23 walk on the lake shore there in Chicago.
00:26 You've got all the options to
00:27 at least weather wise you head north.
00:29 Rainfall is trying to lift into Canada,
00:32 but of course more thunderstorms
00:33 are reigniting for your Wednesday,
00:35 which means travel setbacks.
00:36 There will be a few in the Northwest.
00:38 Helena seeing some showers,
00:39 so maybe a few minor delays there.
00:42 Afternoon thunderstorms in Denver as we
00:43 take our way into the north central tier.
00:46 The nation, Omaha, Kansas City.
00:47 We're still in that threat for at
00:49 least a few thunderstorms to get
00:51 going before the end of the day.
00:53 Meanwhile, Oklahoma City into Dallas
00:55 will be dealing with some of those
00:57 strong to severe thunderstorms possible.
00:58 As you look towards Houston.
01:00 Also a few thunderstorms possible.
01:01 Most of the severe weather will come a
01:03 little farther West and a little bit later
01:05 on Northeast morning delays possible around.
01:07 Boston, we're going to have some
01:09 showers that are moving offshore.
01:10 That will also have an impact in New York City,
01:13 Philadelphia, maybe some drizzle,
01:14 minor delays for the morning.
01:16 DC Baltimore.
01:16 It would only be very early if we saw anything.
01:19 A lot of that clears off pretty early on,
01:22 so showers in a few spots early in Washington,
01:25 DC.
01:25 So maybe if you're at that at 5:00 AM
01:27 in the rush hour,
01:28 you're going to have some travel there.
01:30 Problems,
01:31 but Boston dealing with his
01:32 morning showers in Tulsa.
01:33 Also the yellow light for your
01:35 morning commute 'cause there with
01:37 some thunderstorms around for the
01:38 morning as we take you through the
01:40 next couple of days by the skies.
01:42 Flight cancellations.
01:43 They go up on Thursday due to
01:45 some of that severe weather,
01:46 making a difference in hubs like Chicago.
01:49 For example,
01:49 we'll start to see some of those
01:51 thunderstorms working their way on
01:53 into more populated cities.
01:54 Otherwise,
01:55 though,
01:55 we're pretty on par for for
01:57 for flight cancellations for this time of year.
