Just to add that on Saturday the air mass will have moved so that we won't have the moist warm air causing these conditions any longer so anyone travelling on Sat / Sun won't be affected (from what we can tell this far out), only those tomorrow and Friday might be affected.
Hope she has a good trip and everything goes well (and the storms miss the airports!). Best tell her to remember her sense of adventure and take things with humour if she is affected! Being polite and friendly will get her everywhere if things do get affected.
