00:00 going to keep it here at the Accuweather Network as we talk about the heat and
00:03 also talking about some of the storms here too, Jeff. Yeah, and this is going to
00:07 lead to some travel trouble. Those thunderstorms are causing trouble once
00:11 again on the roads and for aviation as well. So if you're gonna be heading out
00:14 tomorrow, Ben Ruppert has what you need to know in tonight's travel forecast.
00:19 Rain will be falling on Thursday and travel delays unfortunately will
00:24 probably be rising on Thursday. We'll start you in the Pacific Northwest where
00:28 won't be a ton of showers and storms around at least along the I-5 corridor
00:32 looking good Seattle to Portland and even down to Reno. But a few storms in
00:35 the interior could cause some issues, especially into the afternoon, less in
00:40 the way of storms in the southwest where it is just hot triple digit heat once
00:43 you get inland, otherwise just a lot of sunshine. Although that I-25 corridor
00:47 from Cheyenne to Denver to Colorado Springs, some feisty thunderstorms in
00:52 the afternoon could cause some issues, especially for Denver. It doesn't take
00:55 much there with of course how busy the airport is in Denver. Into the northern
00:59 plains we go from the northern Rockies through the Dakotas and even over into
01:02 Minnesota along a cold front. Some showers and storms could lead to some
01:05 minor issues in the afternoon, but south of the front less in the way of delays
01:09 from Omaha to Kansas City. Southern plains, it's just hot and dry. No storms
01:15 in Little Rock but 104 degrees. Showers and storms popping up through much of
01:19 the southeast could cause some issues in the afternoon from Nashville to
01:22 Atlanta and then down through much of Florida. Smooth sailing across the
01:26 Midwest and eastern Great Lakes, a lot of sunshine and seasonable pop-up storms
01:30 in the northeast could lead to some minor issues in the afternoon. Boston
01:33 you're probably dry, but we could see some ripple effects there. Looking fairly
01:37 good down I-95. We think the rain holds off, but storms get to you by Friday and
01:42 that's when that exclusive AccuWeather forecast for flight cancellations goes
01:46 way up.
