Rain is expected later today into Saturday as low pressure moves along a boundary draped across the Ohio Valley.
Rainfall totals will range from less than a half-inch north to around an inch central, and up to 1.5″ south.
This may cause some localized minor flooding across the central and southern portions of the area.
Rain will gradually come to an end Saturday, with the latter half of the weekend into next week expected to be dry.
