Multiple weather systems could affect travel or outdoors plans with rain and thunderstorms into Thanksgiving weekend this year.

Travel for Thanksgiving in 2020 is expected to be lighter than usual as fewer Americans hit the road or head to the airport because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to AAA.

Here's a daily look at what to expect for your holiday plans.

Friday's Forecast

The day after Thanksgiving will feature a new storm system beginning to organize over the southern U.S. Most other areas of the country should avoid any major weather hassles.

-East: Most of the East Coast should be dry with mild temperatures on Friday. A few showers are likely in the South as the storm system develops.

-Central: Showers and thunderstorms are expected to return to areas from Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast.

-West: Much of the West will be dry. A few showers might clip western Washington and a few rain and snow showers may develop in the southern Rockies.
