AAA is expecting over 70 million travelers to take to the roads and skies over the Fourth of July Weekend. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall could throw a wrench into those plans, as slow-moving systems keep rain chances around.

WEDNESDAY

A busy week of travel will kick off for many as early as Wednesday. If you're lucky enough to get off of work for the last two days of the week and stretch that weekend into 5 days, hopefully showers and storms aren't ruining the start.

THURSDAY

Areas along the Front Range and Upper Midwest look like they'll have some storms to drive around, along with the southeast. Nothing's worse than driving the entirety of your trip through a constant rain, and that could be the case in the southeast.

FRIDAY

Now for the big day. Assuming you make it to your destination dry (or even if you don't) the most important night to keep rain away is Friday. Of course, if you're going to a big show somewhere, it wouldn't hurt to know what the weather cancellation policy is ahead of time or if we're lighting these things off rain or not. Areas that might want to keep tabs on the forecast will be in the Upper Midwest and Southeast.

WEEKEND

Everyone's least favorite part, unless you're tired of your guests, going home! This weekend we'll need to watch the timing of a front moving from the Midwest to the Northeast. That will bring the best shot at storms to these parts but it's too early to know exactly when to plan around the worst of the rain. By then we may have to watch the Gulf for some mischief...
