If you're heading home after Fourth of July festivities, Mother Nature may have a few of its own to mess with your travel plans.

For Sunday, a severe storm threat is possible for the mid-Atlantic, including Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Northeast could see poor weather continue into the start of the work week.

Another round of rain and storms will move into the Northern Plains Monday and will shift east as this week progresses.

Pop-up storms are possible across the South through the rest of the weekend, which could lead to localized impacts and delays.

Two other factors to keep in mind as you travel: the pollen and smoke.

• The grasses are in full bloom in many areas, as well. Pollen sufferers will want to account for that in any outdoor plans. Mold allergy sufferers will want to keep this concern in mind across the South.
• If your trip takes you into Utah, Colorado or the northern Plains, keep smoke in mind. There are several wildfires burning that are lowering air quality. Grab the mask if you're susceptible to breathing problems.
