only other weather of concern, from des moines to ames, some storms. so again, if we have problems in the u.s. from a possible storm which could be anybody from a tropical storm to hurricane next week, it would be early probably next week. so this is really the first time of concern that i have. well, hopefully it doesn t materialize. we always hope not, but just in case, we ll be on it. well, direct message from starbucks ceo to gun owners. plus a true to life death defying rescue caught on tape. that s coming up next. run, go, go! did he just fumble?
for the des moines area, to ames, iowa, to zain st. joseph s. this will roll through the area over the next half hour to two hours. we watch it around st. louis about noon today if it holds together. the problem is we have additional storms dying out, bringing rain to indiana and illinois. so we have flash flooding concerns. we have one complex after another. we have to watch our rivers, including the mississippi. today, a severe thunderstorm watch is out for a few spots. later this afternoon, we get another round of storms into tonight. anywhere in yellow, winds damage, large hail, the possibility of isolated tornadoes, especially southern nebraska an areas of northern kansas. we will watch out for areas there in the northern portion of kansas. as far as memorial day goes, it
this morning and heavy downpours from des moines to ames, cedar rapids, the quad cities are next, sweeping towards chicago as we go throughout the morning rush so could have some delays possibly at the airports and on the roads. other concerns, thunderstorms starting to fire up good through central and now southern portions of wisconsin. we eventually around madison and milwaukee during the rush hour, you ll deal with a little bit of rain. sliding back to the eastern seaboard, most of the wet weather is gone from the storms yesterday. just a little bit left over here on i-95 from portland, maine, heading down through manchester and boston, it looks like you re just about done. i would expect the rest of your day to be dry there. the cold front, this is the one that feels like fall behind it. it is in the 50s in some spots here of montana, through the dakotas, we re at 58 in fargo right now. it s going to be a beautiful fall-like day. in areas that have been so hot. we re going to be 81
candidates it will get people in buses and take them to 50, 60 miles, to ames, and so it is a test of their organization. on the other hand, in the room the other night dug the debate there were a lot of ron paul fans, they are dedicated and not that big in number but they are organized so it is entirely possible that ron paul could win today s debate and i think you will find a lot of republicans discounting if that happened. but michele bachmann, if she wins it is evidence of her power in iowa and possibly her ability to win the caucus in january. and sarah palin and perry we don t necessity how it will shake out. thank you, byron. coming up, could standard & poor s lose their license in the wake of downgrading the united states credit? the government seems to be making a move and an investigation. life as a billionaire may not be so great, judge soros fight with an ex girlfriend coming back to haunt him in a big way.
know. maybe they ll get back to washington ready to compromise. i m joined by karen finney, and the dc bureau chief for the comcast network who travelled to ames, iowa. good morning to the two of you. good morning. ladies first this hour. the president passing blame for congress failing to solve our country s economic problems. is that a wise strategy? i don t think the president is actually trying to pass on the blame. look, the reality is as the markets have said and most of if polls have said, there is plenty of blame to go around here. i think what the president is saying is i need your help. when you have strong majorities of americans saying we want compromise. we re comfortable raising taxes on the wealthiest americans. if it means protecting medicare and social security. then you have republicans saying we refuse to consider the ideas. there s a problem. that means they re not listening to the people. they re listening to ideology
