.DISCUSSION...

Weather pattern stays on the wet and cooler than normal side
into the weekend. Will not see rain everyday but chances
for wetting rain stay in the forecast as east flow 
keeps moisture feed in off the Atlantic. Later in the week
could be less depending on how the front and low pressure
off the southeast coast develop.
