A 989mb low off the coast this morning will bring waves of precipitation over the weekend. The main flow is well to the south all though weather models are showing some more intense waves headed for us. Forecast amounts will be hard to call, but will be heavier near the coast. So it will be a wait and see what happens on this last weekend of spring break.
