Shower activity in the middle and northern Atlantic States will diminish later Friday. Rain will linger, however, in the Southeast, where 5-day totals could reach 1 to 2 inches. Heavier rain (locally 2 to 5 inches) will fall in the western and central Gulf Coast States, potentially resulting in renewed flooding and lingering high river levels.
Most of the remainder of the country, particularly from the Pacific Coast to the Plains and upper Midwest, will receive little or no rain during the next 5 days.
