00:00 As we take a look at the travel impacts coming up for tomorrow, the East Coast, you're in pretty good shape here.
00:05 We don't have travel trouble on Saturday.
00:07 We do have some widespread storms marching east, though, drenching rain from far east Texas through Louisiana.
00:13 Areas around Louisiana are going to be tricky for travel with a drenching afternoon and evening into New Orleans.
00:18 Here we are in the late afternoon with a wall of rain coming into the Big Easy.
00:22 That'll impact any of your outdoor evening plans.
00:24 But on the other hand, Dallas, quieter weather, you're improving with clouds lingering, a little breezy out there,
00:30 but we don't expect to see much in the way of any leftover precipitation during the daytime hour Saturday.
00:35 Patchy freezing fog could be an issue into some areas around Minneapolis.
00:40 Just a little bit of a problem.
00:41 Even a hundredth of an inch of moisture, if it's frozen, can lead to big trouble there.
00:45 Denver, mainly a rain/snow mix for you.
00:47 Let's jump into the west here.
00:48 This is where we have a lot of action, and we will have some showers of rain and snow mix near Helena.
00:52 Minor showers in the afternoon there, and also some rain showers into the Boise area in the afternoon.
00:58 Any of the mountains, though, we're going to have really tough travel through the mountain passes.
01:02 So if you're doing a little ski trip here, and if you're traveling on Saturday, getting to those destinations will be very tricky.
01:10 But once you're there, it's going to be delightful with some new snow falling.
01:13 Rain showers around Salt Lake City, but heavy snow farther east into the mountains.
01:17 Reno, a couple of flurries in the morning, probably not much of a major impact there.
01:21 And we're in okay shape in L.A. Saturday.
01:24 That is not the case Sunday and Monday.
01:26 Major travel trouble later this weekend in those areas.
01:28 We will see some showers at times in San Francisco, windy into Albuquerque,
01:32 and the number of flight cancellations will increase on Sunday, partly because of some thunderstorms in Florida,
01:38 but also especially because of what will be going on in California.
