A slow process will get underway for changing out the air mass into the weekend. We'll see the chance for a few showers and storms each afternoon and then finally, by Monday, things finally look calm, dry and cooler; thank a cold front.

If you live along the Catawba River, and the chain of lakes, be aware that your water levels will be high until the heavy runoff, from weeks of rain, can be moved along down the river; it will be a process. Use extreme caution on area waterways as heavy runoff may have dislodged various forms of debris.
