Independence Day weekend washout expected to impact travel, July 4th celebrations for millions of Americans

Thunderstorms could disrupt holiday plans for millions of Americans looking to celebrate the Fourth of July.

An active weather pattern is set to develop this weekend and linger through the upcoming holiday, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

Instead of one major storm disrupting holiday plans, a series of disturbances and fronts are expected to move across the country and be the focus of showers and thunderstorms that could dampen holiday plans.

On Saturday, most of the storms will be spread out across the Midwest through the Northeast, while cities out West will be able to enjoy mostly clear skies.

The FOX Forecast Center will continue to closely monitor the location of storms for the July Fourth fireworks celebrations.
