By Wednesday, another wet stretch begins as a series of low-pressure systems move into the region.

While it won't be raining at all times, some heavy rain is possible from Wednesday through Saturday.

Rainfall totals through that timeframe are expected to range between 1.5-2 inches, which would add to the surplus of rain already observed this May.

Along with the rain will come an uptick in humidity. Temperatures will range from the mid 60s to mid 70s.
