According to the NWS, widespread rain will move into our area overnight and may be locally heavy towards morning.
The remnants of Helene will impact our region through the weekend, most notably early Friday through Friday night. Widespread rainfall between two and four inches and gusty winds between 30 to 40 mph will be most common.
