00:00 Thanks and yeah, let's take a look at your travel forecast.

00:03 Any delays that we are expecting come kind of in the center part of the country as we're

00:06 going to be tracking a front here.

00:08 Heads up for some minor delays into Denver.

00:10 We could see a few thunderstorms in Minneapolis.

00:11 I don't think it's going to have big impacts on travel, but just heads up here for more

00:15 thunderstorms.

00:16 Meanwhile, I think in and around Houston we could see some delays.

00:19 We could see some heavier thunderstorms rolling on through and we take into the southeast

00:23 where if you're flying in and out of Atlanta or Miami, I do think we could have some delays

00:27 because of thunderstorms rolling on through.

00:30 Meanwhile, the Midwest and the Northeast, excellent weather for traveling, but of course

00:34 big heads up with impacts from Lee as we head into the weekend.

00:38 And I think that is going to be one of the main reasons we are seeing big flight cancellations

00:42 as we head into Saturday.

00:44 AccuWeather's U.S. flight cancellation forecast shows 550 cancelled flights expected as we

00:50 head into the weekend.

00:51 And then that number will significantly drop as we head into the second half of the weekend

00:55 and the start of next week.

00:56 All right, back to you.
