While we don't expect major severe impacts, we have issued a low-end NEXT Weather Alert for the Wednesday morning drive as heavy rain could lead to slow, possibly slick conditions.
At this time, total rainfall may end up in the 1-3 inches range by Friday, and since it will spread out over a few days, widespread flooding isn't a huge concern, though localized flooding is possible in the heaviest bands.
