CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Trying to take a look at your notes.
RALLY CAPARAS, AIR TRAFFIC SPECIALIST, TRAVELOCITY.COM: Go ahead and read them.
COSTELLO: Any flight delays, Rally? Travelocity's Air Traffic Expert Rally Caparas is here to tell us about possible delays.
CAPARAS: Thank you, Carol, good morning.
Well, it looks like we're off to a great week, folks. We've had excellent flight conditions over the last, well, 7 or 8 days now. It's not going to change today. Only the extreme corners of the United States will see any chance of delays today.
From Boston all the way down to Orlando, Florida, excellent conditions, on-time flight schedules all day and evening long. Miami and Fort Lauderdale, one of the corners I'm talking about, you'll likely see 30 to 45-minute arrival and departure delays off and on sporadically. All day long they'll have some low clouds, isolated thunderstorm activity will block flight routes occasionally. No major delays, 30 to 45 minutes, you can deal with that.
Minneapolis to Houston, in the central part of the United States, excellent conditions there also. On-time schedules all day and evening long there.
On the West Coast, Seattle-Tacoma, the other corner that I was speaking about, they have seen nothing but poor conditions, as Chad told you earlier. They will continue to see those types of conditions. Thirty to 45-minute arrival and departure delays. Low clouds, rain, gusting winds will cause those problems and that will last into the evening hours.
But the rest of the west, another fantastic day to travel. You are more likely to be early, as I was yesterday, about 15 to 20 minutes early than you are to be delayed today going into tomorrow. So that's great news.
I'll be back in the morning.
COSTELLO: That's never happened to me.
CAPARAS: It doesn't happen often.
COSTELLO: Thank you, Rally, we appreciate it.
CAPARAS: Sure.
