00:00 Rain fog slowed travel down last night in central Pennsylvania. You can see
00:03 some of this footage and well come Saturday and Sunday we'll have some
00:07 more issues Sunday. We have some more snow and some rain for some. Take a
00:11 look at tomorrow's traveled though. We want to look at these issues here with
00:15 Melissa Constanza. Melissa
00:17 Jeff, if you're headed out well, things get messy as we go into the weekend,
00:22 especially across the southeast where we're talking a wet trend and in the
00:25 northwest, it doesn't change much. We're talking about more moisture
00:30 pushing into the northwest is heavy rainfall could lead to flooding in some
00:35 locations. Keep in mind, different elevations of snow will have an impact
00:39 to for some of those passes. Seattle. It's minor delays, and we also have
00:43 those minor delays in Portland, even minor delays in Boise is more of this
00:46 moisture works through for your Saturday. So we're starting off the
00:49 weekend wet, and it's really wet through parts of the southeast as we
00:53 deal with the flooding risk that continues throughout Saturday. So we'll
00:56 be watching that, especially around places like New Orleans. They need the
00:59 rainfall and wanted, but I expect at least a minor delays early on in the
01:03 day as this moisture then starts to pull a little farther east. We'll
01:06 expect more of that across the central Gulf Coast into places like the
01:09 Florida Panhandle. Minor delays, likely in Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh as heavy
01:13 rain, even a few rumbles of thunder mixes in farther north. No big
01:17 problems. The clouds persistent could still be some areas of fog, so that's
01:21 where we would encounter some slowdowns. But flight cancellations are
01:25 expected to go up Sunday as we talk about that storm system lifting north
01:30 into the northeast and will provide snow into cities like Boston on the
01:33 backside. A few flakes into New York City, too, as it moves out Sunday into
01:37 Monday. But overall, I think the flight cancellations start to go down as we
01:41 get into a quieter trend for the middle of the next week in the nation's
01:44 weather. That'll be a good trend there, at least into the work week. Thank you
