    We are tracking a weather system that will kick off some weekend showers and thundershowers.  In the meantime, Friday will be practically a repeat of yesterday.
    Heavy rain overnight last night caused some flooding on roadways, creeks and streams. More heavy rain later could pose the threat of even more flooding, so a flood watch has been posted.
