Discussion:
Isolated showers may interrupt a pleasant day tomorrow with precipitation totals between .1 and .2 of an inch. Regardless, warm weather will continue until substantial rain enters the area on Friday into Saturday. The main threat will be widespread rain that will be plentiful for Friday and early Saturday before tapering off into the early afternoon. Totals are expected between 1-1.25".

WPC Quantitative Precipitation Forecast for Friday. Notice the broad swath of soaking rains spanning the lower Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.

Clouds will stick around and thin out throughout the day before clearing out into the evening. Sunday is looking beautiful for Mother's Day, so get out and enjoy the nice weather!
