HOLLY FIRFER, CNN ANCHOR: All right, time to check in with Travelocity's air traffic expert Rally Caparas who has his "Eye on the Sky."
Rally, the planes flying on time?

RALLY CAPARAS, AIR TRAFFIC SPECIALIST, TRAVELOCITY.COM: They're flying right now, Holly, and it's going pretty smoothly right now, but it won't be that way for long.

If you're headed into LaGuardia's airport today, you'll see delay-free conditions to start out, but expect 30 to 45-minute arrival delays as strong northwest winds force a less-than-favorable runway configuration.

Down South, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando and Tampa, you're seeing pretty good conditions right now. But, as Chad showed you, off on the horizon in Miami, thunderstorms are moving around. It's going to be that way all day long, basically, and that means 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays, mostly in the afternoon and evening hours into those major airports, so be ready there.

Houston and San Francisco, both of them have seen a lot of fog over the last couple of weeks. Well, it's going to continue that way early. And then there's going to be some heavy rains out in San Francisco later on today and then during the weekend. So expect 30 to 45-minute arrival delays into those major airports.

Holly, have a great weekend. I'll be back on Monday morning with the latest from Travelocity's "Eye on the Sky."

FIRFER: You got it. I loved it, as you said, the "Holly-Rally Show."

CAPARAS: There you go. Sounds like a cartoon hour.

FIRFER: We have new tellers (ph).

Thanks, Rally, have a good weekend.

CAPARAS: You too. Thanks.

FIRFER: OK.
