FEATURE INTO OUR AREA SOMETIME WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
BRINGING POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN. SOME UNCERTAINITY STILL
EXISTS ON HOW IT ORGANIZES AND WHETHER OR NOT IT PHASES WITH
THE UPPER LOW OVER THE EASTERN COAST EARLIER THIS WEEK. RECENT
SOLUTIONS KEEPS THESE TWO FEATURES SEPARATE, INDICATING LOWER
RAINFALL AMOUNTS. PREVIOUS SOLUTIONS HAVE THESE FEATURES PHASING
WHICH WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS. DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY STAYED CLOSE TO OUR NBM GUIDANCE. REGARDLESS THIS
