FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: If you're flying, time to check the air, and who does that better than Rally.
Rally Caparas, good to see you.

RALLY CAPARAS, AIR TRAFFIC SPECIALIST, TRAVELOCITY.COM: Why thank you so much, Fredricka.

I'll tell you what, folks, we have seen some excellent conditions all week long. I was on vacation last week. Now this week, I've had very little to do. And guess what, today's going to be similar to what we've seen.

From -- well, up in the northeast today, Boston, New York City and the D.C. Metros, there's going to be a little bit of early fog, some mist, obscured visibility. It could cost you about 30 minutes or so extra time in the air or on the ground at your departure point. But those situations should clear up by later this morning. And then we'll see some rain, some clouds move through the area, but it's not going to be in time for the evening rush period. Expect pretty close to on-time schedules during the p.m. hours.

Not very often do we have a week like this, folks. Enjoy it. It's not going to last. Next week I'm sure there will be some more change.

Down in Florida -- I'm sorry, down in Atlanta Hartsfield here, we're delay free at the moment, but expect afternoon and evening rain, clouds, thunderstorm activity limiting flight routes a little bit. Expect 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays as a result, but nothing major here in Atlanta either.

Down in the south of Florida, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, as usual this time of the year, it'll be delay free for most of the day and then afternoon-evening thunderstorm activity will limit flight routes, sporadic 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays. There again, nothing major to be concerned with there.

Houston's George Bush, they're going to see some low clouds, a thunderstorm or two, that's where most of the weather is going to be, and it's going to spread up here towards Atlanta. Thirty to 45-minute arrival and departure delays as a result.

The rest of the country perfect. Have a great weekend. I'll be back on Monday morning with the latest from Travelocity's "Eye on the Sky."

WHITFIELD: Nice. Perfect. You traveling this weekend, too?

CAPARAS: I'm staying home for a change.

WHITFIELD: OK, very good.

CAPARAS: Yes.

WHITFIELD: All right, good. See you.

CAPARAS: See you.

WHITFIELD: Thanks.

CAPARAS: Bye.
