For those looking to get a head start on travel over the weekend, much of the U.S. will be dry, except for the West Coast and Northeast. From California to the Pacific Northwest, rain and mountain snow will extend eastward into the Rockies, according to Weather.com.

In California, where a person was found dead in a vehicle submerged in floodwaters, authorities braced for more precipitation while grappling with flooding and small landslides.
