CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: We're going to check our 'Eye on the Sky.' Air Traffic Expert Rally Caparas here from Travelocity.com.
RALLY CAPARAS, AIR TRAFFIC SPECIALIST, TRAVELOCITY.COM: Good morning -- Carol.
LIN: Yes, good morning.
CAPARAS: It feels good. It's a great morning, actually. It's a great Friday, folks. You are going to get something that you are not used to getting on a busy Friday today, the East Coast. Let's go straight to the delays.
Boston to Miami, and all of the major airports in between, you are going to see excellent flight conditions, on-time schedules all day and evening long. Boston, you'll see a little bit of low clouds and rain early, but it won't slow things down. The volume will get there a little later. Excellent conditions and on-time schedules all day.
Chicago O'Hare, you will start delay free and then you will start to see the wind kick up later on during the afternoon and evening. It could create some short 30 to 45-minute arrival delays only, but I expect it only to be bumpy. Keep your seat belt fastened. Take some Dramamine, it could rock your plane a little bit. Nothing to worry about.
Denver and Salt Lake City, however, you will see some low clouds, possible light snow and freezing temperatures. Departure flight de- icing, that equates to 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays so keep that in mind Salt Lake and Denver passengers.
And then finally, Seattle-Tacoma, all the way down to San Diego, a fantastic day. There will be low clouds and some rain in Seattle, but it won't slow you down there.
Everything else looks good, a fantastic day. It changes on Monday, however, unfortunately, for the busy weekend.
LIN: Yes, and we're looking at some bad weather moving in different parts of the country, so.
CAPARAS: Yes, it's going to be a tough start to the week.
LIN: OK, call ahead. Thanks -- Rally.
CAPARAS: You're welcome. LIN: You have a good weekend.
CAPARAS: You too.
