It is looking more and more like we'll see a very soggy start to this weekend. A storm spinning through the Midwest will arrive on Friday and bring a soaking rain Friday afternoon and night. Some of the Stormtracker computer models are indicating the potential for more than two inches of rain in Southern New England.

One interesting element of this storm will be a sharp cutoff between little or no rain and rather heavy showers. At this point, it looks like the heaviest rain will be over the ocean, but we will still see some heavy stuff over Rhode Island and SE Massachusetts.

As far as the timing is concerned, the rain should begin Friday morning and not really let up until Saturday morning - at the earliest. There are some signs that the wet weather could linger into Saturday afternoon.

Here's a look at some of the rainfall projections through Friday night.

Rain Potential May 9-10

Keep it tuned to ABC6 over the next couple of days for the latest on the potential for heavy rain.
