If you are traveling the next few days, you could experience a few weather-induced travel delays, mainly across the Eastern half of the country, while record warmth continues in the West and Plains.

A​ low pressure system will bring some showers to the Northeast through Friday. This could lead to occasional flight delays, as well as some wet commutes.

F​or the Pacific Northwest, scattered showers will impact the area lasting through the week.

The central U.S. will see scattered storms every day through Friday. A more active pattern is expected over the weekend, where multiple rounds of storms are expected to ramp up for the Central Plains Saturday through Monday. The threat of storms will likely remain for the Southern Plains Tuesday of next week and will also shift to the interior Northeast. By midweek, severe storms could reach the Southeast and major cities of the Northeast.

Keep in mind that the trees and grasses are in full swing in many areas, as well. Pollen sufferers will want to account for that in any outdoor plans. You can see how far north the pollen has gotten in maps at the end of this article.
