Possibly record stretch of wet weather underway in South

A cold front that is slowing to a crawl in the southern U.S. has become the focus of heavy rain in parts of the region. That wet weather will continue for the next several days as the front stalls. Places from Texas to Virginia have a chance of rain just about every day through the middle of next week. The heaviest rain through Monday is expected across the Louisiana coast.
