00:00 Heavy rain yesterday made for not too nice of a drive through San Jose, but that wet weather is gone and we'll see even more sunshine for those heading out to Mars.
00:10 Good news for the state of California as they've had a pretty active weather pattern in the past couple of days.
00:15 Friday's travel outlook, pretty nice on the west coast.
00:19 However, if you're through the interior west, this is where we'll have some snow to contend with in a few locations, places through Colorado.
00:27 Denver, major delays as we're dealing with the cleanup of some snow.
00:31 I think it's less than one to three inches.
00:33 We're actually really looking at an inch or two, but ultimately you can see there's other impacts out there, most of it concerning the rainfall.
00:40 However, through Colorado, Fort Collins estimated to get one to three inches of snow according to the AccuWeather Wintercast, falling pretty solidly in there.
00:48 So probably an inch and a half or something to that nature as the snow comes down through the next couple of hours here.
00:54 So really, we will have to keep those shovels handy.
00:58 It is this time of year in Colorado.
01:00 Farther south, it's about the rainfall.
01:02 Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Little Rock, New Orleans, all dealing with heavy rain, thunderstorms at some point in the day.
01:09 Dallas is a little bit earlier for you, and then we'll probably catch some more breaks of sunshine throughout the day.
01:15 But Little Rock, it's off and on wet weather, I think, throughout the good chunk of the day with rumbles of thunder mixing in.
01:20 Denver, your morning commute, like I said, snow potential there, maybe as much as one to three inches, likely, though, closer to one to two inches.
01:28 Major delays possible in Nashville as we head through the afternoon, thanks to those thunderstorms rumbling their way on in.
01:34 They cut into Alabama.
01:35 Atlanta, they're going to come pretty late, so it's going to be that minor threat throughout the later time frame, and we've got more wet weather off towards the north.
01:42 A quick peek at your flight cancellations.
01:45 They're up there as we go through Friday, Saturday and Sunday, partly due to that thunderstorm and rain threat.
