CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: If you are traveling this morning, wait just a second, because Travelocity's air traffic expert Rally Caparas is in the house.
Any delays this morning?
RALLY CAPARAS, AIR TRAFFIC SPECIALIST, TRAVELOCITY.COM: Yes, there are. Good news and bad, first the bad.
COSTELLO: OK.
CAPARAS: I've decided not to run for governor of the state of California. This competition is way too stiff.
COSTELLO: Darn.
CAPARAS: The good news is lots of great weather in the east. Nothing to worry about all the way from Boston all the way down to Atlanta. Well actually, Atlanta will change later on. Down in the South later on today, they'll see 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays down here. En route thunderstorm activity is going to kick up as it has the last few days. Not so bad, though, just short to moderate delays.
Down in Florida, Orlando, Miami and Fort Lauderdale once again will see seasonal thunderstorm activity to the tune of 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays. It's going to start a little bit earlier in the day, right around noon time or so, usually starts around 3:00. Just expect earlier delays down in Florida.
Minneapolis-St. Paul, they're going to see thunderstorm activity all day long off and on. Forty-five to 60-minute arrival and departure delays as a result. Limited flight routes into and out of that major airport.
Then out in Las Vegas, enough rain already, but they're going to see 45-minute arrival and departure delays off and on all day. Thunderstorm activity is going to fire up, it'll relax and then it'll come back, as Chad showed you on the map earlier.
And then out west on the West Coast, San Francisco International, they'll see 30 to 45-minute arrival delays because of the marine layer fog. It should be gone by noon Pacific Time for on-time schedules thereafter.
A third consecutive day of pretty good conditions nationwide, Carol. I'll be back tomorrow morning with the latest from Travelocity's "Eye on the Sky."
COSTELLO: We look forward to it. Thank you -- Rally.
CAPARAS: Thank you.
