A Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for much of the region until noon on Friday.

Rain, which will be heavy at times, will continue through late in the morning Friday. There will be a chance of showers until around 2 p.m.

Total rainfall could be as high as 1 to 1.5 inches across the area, according to the National Weather Service. (See second image above.)

Given this week's heavy rainfall, it will not take much additional rainfall to cause flooding.

The rain will mark the passing of a cold front which will lead to a pleasant weekend with sunny skies and a high temperature in the upper-60s both Saturday and Sunday.
