Weather
A front is clearing the country on Thursday, going off the East Coast and taking the active weather pattern with it. Much drier conditions are developing behind the front, though some limited showers will still be possible near the Great Lakes and in the southwestern Plains. Temperatures are also a lot milder for much of the country, though heat continues to build in the West and remains warm across the far south.
