By the numbers:
Friday looks like our wettest day of the week, as a system taps into some subtropical moisture. Lowland temperatures will be warmer, into the mid-50s, and snow levels will climb to 5,000 to 6,000 feet.
What's next:
Weather models are hinting at a much wetter weather pattern next week. Current long-range rain forecasts give several rivers a 50/50 chance of reaching action stage. Some could reach flood stage, so stay tuned to the forecast as we get closer.
