A slow-moving system means rain could force those planning outdoor activities in the central and southern U.S. this holiday weekend to come up with a Plan B on one or more days.

Supercell thunderstorms will fire up in the afternoon and evening over northern Texas and southern Oklahoma. Large hail, possibly the size of golf balls or bigger, is the main threat, but we can’t rule out damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado.

Expect unpleasant weather late this week and pencil in extra time if you are traveling, including from Philadelphia to New York City, Hartford, Providence and Boston.
