This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. There will be a change in the weather. Temperatures are about to drop dramatically in much of the country. Its the return of the polar vortex that brought misery a year ago. That mass of swirling cold air will dip southward this weekend, sending the mercury plunging. As the cold air moves south and east, it has the potential to affect as many as 243 mill wherein people with wind chills in the Single Digits in some places and snow. Dean reynolds tells us all of this was triggered by a super typhoon named nuri. These pictures from the European Space agency show that nuri is a growing meteorological bomb blanketing the bering sea. The 50foot waves and 100mph winds will make conditions similar to these two years ago. It could make nuri the biggest storm of the year, but it will be wrong to think it will affect only alaskas farflung Aleutian Islands or those famous fishermen who work in the north pacific. I want to get everybody home. Reporter wbbms meteorologist megan glaros explains. The remnants of super typhoon nuri will create a big buckle in the jetstream, and in several days time it will mean a big dip in the jet which will connect us with a big mass of arctic air, taking temperatures east of the rockies down to 10 to 30 degrees below average. Reporter say a big mass of arctic air to anyone who lives in the midwest, and it conjures painful memories of the dreaded polar vortex that hit the region last winter. In chicago, an average temperature of 18 degrees was accompanied by 80 inches of snow and 32 fatalities. And last winter ice was a major threat across the region. Im standing on the shoreline of this river, and all of this ice in front of me has come up over the bank and threatens to keep on coming. Chicago is already storing salt like a Squirrel Stores nuts. Charles williams of the streets and Sanitation Department says the city will face the winter with 400,000 tons on hand. And thats compared to . Well have 115,000 tons more on the ground this season than last. Reporter the unusually cold weather is expected to last for several days over much of the country, scott, before the polar vortex goes back to where it belongs, in canada. Pelley Dean Reynolds bundled up in the windy city. Dean, thanks so much. In another big story tonight, a u. S. Air strike in syria is believed to have killed a top bomb maker for khorasan, a terrorist group with links to al qaeda. Some intelligence estimates say that khorasan could pose a more immediate threat to the United States than even isis. Homeland security correspondent bob orr is following this. Reporter the target was 24yearold david drugeon, a frenchborn convert to islam who sources say became one of al qaedas top bomb makers. Officials believe drugeon was riding in this car in syria wednesday when the vehicle was destroyed by missiles fired by a u. S. Military reaper drone. There is no conclusive forensic proof of drugeons death, but all Available Evidence suggests he was killed. The drone strike was part of a wider aerial assault aimed at key targets of drugeons Al Qaedalinked cell called the Khorasan Group. B1 bombers and f16 Fighter Aircraft attacked a number of buildings in northwest syria, thought to house khorasan bombmaking and terrortraining facilities. In a statement, the u. S. Central command said, we are still assessing the outcome of the attack but have initial indications that it resulted in the intended effects by striking terrorists. Sources say drugeons death would be a severe blow to khorasans plans to attack europe and the u. S. With hardtodetect bombs smuggled aboard airliners. Drugeon and err al qaeda explosives experts have been experimenting with nonmetallic bombs that can be hidden in shoe, clothing, cell phones and even human bodies. In recent months, intelligence has suggested that khorasan was getting closer to launching attacks. In response to this threat, authorities have tightened security on International Flights bound for the u. S. Now, this is the second time the u. S. Has launched air strikes against the Khorasan Group inside syria. Officials believe this wave has been considerably more damage than first. But officials at the same time, scott, say it would be naive to think the threat has been eliminated. Pelley bob, what other threats are they worried about . Reporter perhaps the biggest one theyre still worried about is in yemen. Quietly al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is continuing to work on innovative bombs. Weve been trying without success, scott to, get the master bomb builder in yemen since 2009. Pelley bob, thanks very much.

Military revised a regulation today to remove some outdated language that many African Americans find offensive. How it got there and why it was still there is a story told by chip reid. Reporter the u. S. Army is about 21 black, but some were left wondering what decade theyre living in when it was revealed that a littleknown pentagon regulation permitted black or African American soldiers to be identified as negro. The language came from a governmentwide policy written in 1997, but secretary of the Army John Mchugh was surprised and outraged and directed that the word be removed immediately. White house spokesman josh earnest. The military has updated the policy as of today. And that language thats in question is no longer being used. You know, obviously we believe thats an appropriate step. Reporter it was a common term in the 1960s when even dr. Martin luther king frequently referred to blacks as negroes in speeches, but by the 1970s, it had fallen out of favor, and today its considered by many to be offensive. The Census Bureau added the term in the 1950 census, arguing that some older blacks prefer that term. In fact, as recently as the 2000 census, more than 56,000 blacks did choose to identify themselves as negro. The bureau stopped using the term just this year, and Administration Officials say today it is looking into the issue and add, the outdated term negro may need to be updated to address the growing diversity of the population. So the pentagon and the Census Bureau no longer use the word, but, scott, for the rest of the federal government, it is still officially on the books, as it has been for years. Pelley chip reid in washington for us tonight. Chip, thank you very much.
