As of now the wettest period looks like Wednesday night into Thursday morning.  By Friday, the low parks itself to the Southeast and will spin clouds and showers our way for the weekend. As it migrates South we should see unsettled conditions in our zone Friday, with a mix of sun and cloud, some isolated showers will also be in the mix. Similar conditions can be expected Saturday with wetter conditions to come on Sunday.
