A stalled front brings another round of steady, heavy rains 
tonight as low pressure tracks northward offshore. This along 
with significant snowpack ripening or, in the case of the 
coastal plain and adjacent interior, significant snowpack melt 
will increase the threat for flooding. Precipitation ends as 
snow Friday, especially across the higher terrain, before things
become drier and gusty over the weekend, especially Saturday. 
Dry and warmer into Monday, with unsettled weather by the middle
of next week.
