The system is on track to arrive along the East Coast Thursday night, April 10, with precipitation continuing at times throughout Friday, April 11, and into the first half of the weekend, the National Weather Service says.

"The storm may produce 1 to 3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts possible from the Carolinas to the mid-Atlantic and New England," according to AccuWeather. "With downpours embedded in the steadier rain, localized urban flooding could occur."
