Flood threat continues through weekend
Heavy rain is expected to plague the South through the weekend, with millions of people from Texas to North Carolina in flooding risk zones through Sunday.
A stalled front that has been the focus of the days of slow-moving storms will finally break down by early next week, bringing drier weather to parts of the region. A second system is expected to continue the wet weather for parts of the Southeast next week.
