More Rain on the Way: 3″ Expected Through Sunday Night

Strong high pressure over Bermuda is pulling moisture in. A trough has set up to our west. This is working to squeeze out the moisture, like wringing out a wet t-shirt.

The NAM and Canadian weather models put us on the edge of the most intense rain, with the bulk of it passing to our east. Here is the Hi-Res NAM model Saturday 4 PM:
