WeatherThe cold front to a system this week has hung up in the Southeast and will continue to produce showers on Friday. Outside of some spotty showers going through the Northeast, the rest of the country will be dry. It is a little colder than in previous days, but still rather mild for most areas of the country for mid-February.
