00:00 It was a frigid Friday morning in western New York, where the strong winds, they were

00:05 blowing with snow.

00:07 Planes had to be de-iced at the Rochester International Airport and throughout the U.S.

00:13 today, there have been more than 2,700 flights that have been delayed and over 50 cancellations,

00:20 according to FlightAware.

00:21 So where could some of the worst travel be as we head through tomorrow?

00:25 Let's take you across the nation for our national travel outlook.

00:28 And you can see here that storm system quickly moving out to see a little bit of snow with

00:32 that front dropping into the Texas Panhandle, but it's all in New Mexico where we find the

00:37 snow.

00:38 Otherwise, very quiet through the central U.S.

00:41 You have to get into the west to find more of that action.

00:46 There will be delays in the northwest, especially Portland.

00:48 Minor delays, possibly becoming major delays farther south through Oregon.

00:52 Places like Medford expect some of those problems.

00:54 Minor delays in Reno as we get that moisture late.

00:57 San Francisco, though, major delays, and especially just north of there where we have

01:01 the heavy rainfall.

01:02 That will be of the biggest concern.

01:04 Elsewhere throughout the southwest, we're out of it.

01:06 We stay out of it for a little while, and then we're going to wait for more stormy weather

01:10 heading into early upcoming week.

01:13 Meanwhile, as we take you Saturday into New York, Buffalo, major snow delays here as there

01:18 will be some snow squalls kind of working their way on through.

01:21 These bands are like almost like snow thunderstorms, if you will.

01:25 So that's going to be one of the challenges throughout the northeast, and that can create

01:30 some delays.

01:31 Minor delays in Buffalo as we get some of the last of that snow pushing out.

01:34 We do have some major delays in places like Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C.,

01:39 because we're cleaning up from all the snow through the overnight hours.

01:43 So for Washington, D.C., for example, our snowfall ends around 7 a.m., but of course,

01:49 you still got to plow and clean things up.

01:51 That's why we have some of those delays throughout the day in Washington, D.C., especially early

01:54 on 1 to 3 inches of snow via your AccuWeather Wintercast, which you can get on the AccuWeather

01:59 app or accuweather.com anytime you have snow in your forecast.

02:03 Flight cancellations heading into the weekend.

02:05 We will have a little bit more of a challenge on Sunday, but overall, this isn't too bad

02:08 for winter day based on what the weather will bring us.
