cold front stretched southward through eastern Texas, while a
stationary front extended eastward across the Tennessee Valley and
into the Mid-Atlantic. National Weather Service radars and
surface observations indicated areas of light to moderate rain
with embedded heavy rain continued to spread northeastward across
