00:00We have some more significant travel trouble in our Tuesday forecast for more of the north-central
00:10U.S.
00:11Also, parts of the southeast, frequent thunderstorms are going to be an issue there into Atlanta.
00:15We had a ground stop for a time on Monday in Charlotte and in Atlanta.
00:18We may see that again for a time into Tuesday.
00:21Major delays there.
00:22Strong to severe thunderstorms around the Minneapolis area late in the day as well could
00:25lead to major delays.
00:27We'll also have scattered thunderstorms into the area around New York, Miami in the afternoon,
00:32and we'll have some sprinkles and drizzle in the morning in Seattle.
00:35Minor issues there, and it'll be a little breezy into Dallas with some minor delays
00:39there too.
00:40Also, a little bit of drizzle or some sprinkles in the morning may slow a few folks down into
00:44Portland, Oregon, then a brighter afternoon.
00:47Helena, Montana, a little breezy in the afternoon there.
00:49That could lead to a minor delay too.
00:51We'll get breezy in the afternoon into San Francisco, and spotty thunderstorms will
00:56break out into the area around the Albuquerque metro.
01:00We'll have some wind in the afternoon under a sunny sky in Casper, but look out for severe
01:04weather not just in Minneapolis, but also into Bismarck and Omaha, and we'll see some
01:08wind into Kansas City, so a lot of problems in the north-central U.S.
01:12Farther south will be a little breezy, as mentioned, into Dallas, and some lingering
01:15showers may occur near New Orleans, though it won't be as wet as we've seen in recent
01:20days.
01:21Southeast, we still have a lot of frequent downpours, and because of the nature of these
01:24thunderstorms, Nashville and Atlanta could see some major delays.
01:27We'll see scattered thunderstorms around Raleigh, into Jacksonville, and also in the afternoon
01:31there into Miami.
01:33And while Chicago looks okay, we'll have some bigger problems near Indianapolis with some
01:37strong thunderstorms nearby.
01:39Scattered storms also into Detroit and Columbus.
01:41The northeast is getting more humid with some scattered storms around.
01:44Many of these areas will see minor delays.
01:45We'll see more of the same with scattered thunderstorms down I-95 as well.
01:50The number of flight cancellations will be escalating a bit, peaking on Wednesday with
01:54slightly above average numbers, and then gradual modest improvements late in the week.
