More rain is likely throughout the day on Wednesday as a slow moving system passes through the southeast. While somewhat similar in setup to the system from this past weekend conditions will be much warmer and thus all precipitation will be rain. Some colder nights will be likely later in the week once dry conditions return after the midweek system.
