Gray To Stay
Our first round of showers were heaviest in Northern spots but made for a gray Saturday. Temperatures hovered in the 70s in many spots as a result. The bulk of the next round of rain looks to stay just to our southwest and south, while we see additional showers and hear some thunder roll through overnight. This will cut down on totals in some places while enhance amounts in other areas. Clouds will be tough to scour out Sunday but look for some breaks in the afternoon. The risk of showers and thunder lingers but coverage should be less.

Forecast Discussion
Our first disturbance hitched a ride on the jet stream from the Northwest. Additional moisture continues to flow in from the South and will help combine with a stronger disturbance rotating east from the Midwest overnight to trigger more showers and some thunder. The heaviest axis looks to stay just to our South but watch for some localized downpours to efficiently drop some bigger amounts along the Blue Ridge.
Sunday sees the best moisture shift a bit to our east but plenty of clouds and additional shower chances linger. Sun increases Monday and the week ahead but plenty of humid and that jet stream will provide additional areas of storms to roll our way occasionally from the Northwest.
