This stationary front hasn’t even weakened all that much, and continues to dump some pretty heavy rain totals over parts of Texas and Louisiana. For the Mid-South, specifically, the stationary front did take a little bit of a jog to the south on Wednesday, which kept the shower activity slightly further south than I anticipate. Nonetheless, there have been a few showers around the Mid-South over the past few days, and until this stationary front completely clears out, the threat of showers will stay elevated.
