Weather
A front continues to push slowly southward into the Central Plains and Midwest on Wednesday, producing widespread areas of showers and thunderstorms. Some heavy rain and severe weather will be possible near the front. Colder temperatures are filtering in behind the front while it stays hot and humid ahead of it. That could lead to some isolated showers for the southeastern quadrant of the country throughout the day. We will also be watching the northern Gulf of America as a disturbance could take on some tropical characteristics Wednesday or Thursday.
