Most of the country will see great travel weather this week, but that could sour by the weekend with a potential tropical threat for the Southeast.

The only major travel issues should be across Florida and into adjacent states over the next few days. Elsewhere, temperatures will be warm and skies will largely be dry. An October heat wave will keep things quite warm through late week from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but the weekend is looking cooler.

If you're already looking forward to the weekend, try to take your drive away from the Gulf Coast. Increasing tropical showers are expected Friday into the weekend. That'll keep temperatures down, but I wouldn't head out to the beaches.
