00:00 We've got to take you around the nation though as you head out tomorrow because
00:03 we've got some trouble spots. Obviously the west, the clear winner as far as concerns for travel,
00:07 but in Minneapolis and Chicago we're going to start off with some patchy fog across portions
00:12 of the area. So that could be what slows you down in north central tier of the nation. But like I
00:17 said, it's really the west that has been continuing to prove the problems. Places like Phoenix, Los
00:23 Angeles dealing with some showers, so mostly minor delays as San Francisco gets wet with this next
00:28 little wave of energy, we will have some major delays, especially as we go through the middle
00:33 of the day. So expect those travel concerns. Farther north, Helena, heavy snowfall for you.
00:38 That's going to be a major travel delay there. Off towards the south, Reno, it's rain and snow
00:43 trying to mix in. Throughout the day probably not too many problems, but after dinner time that's
00:47 when our problems will really rise as we get some accumulation of snowfall there. And for places like
00:53 Helena, Montana, two to four inches of snow according to the AccuWeather Wintercast. So we
00:59 know travel's a little slow around the region, but hey, we could use a little more snow this year so
01:03 far. Where it's a green light, places like New York, Tampa and Topeka. No big problems here as
01:10 you're checking in on your morning commute. Plenty of sunshine in New York though. Let's face it,
01:14 if you're driving from New Jersey, you gotta have the sunglasses on. That's just the story and the
01:19 name of the game because you're going right into the rising sun. Same thing on the way home.
01:23 It's tough when you live on the western side of these cities this time of year. Meanwhile,
01:27 we also have your flight cancellation forecast. And looking at the next couple of days,
01:33 typically in wintertime, we expect around 100 flights delayed or canceled, I should say,
01:39 as we look through the week. And this is going to be very close to average for us as we hold
01:44 on to the week. So this is some good news if you're flying. Nothing out of the ordinary as
01:47 far as winter weather is concerned.
