Moderate to heavy rain in N. CA and possible showers in S. CA.......in June???!! Sorry that just doesn't happen. Its the equivalent of a hurricane in April. Weekend forecast: Eastern heat, northern flood By Doyle Rice, USA TODAY Updated 24m ago \| \| While most of the eastern half of the USA bakes through an extremely dry, hot weekend, California will be quite damp and cool both Saturday and Sunday. A levee protects the Hilton Garden Inn in Sioux City, Iowa, on Thursday, while preparing for an expected flood. Gov. Terry Branstad says all Iowa counties along the Missouri River will be affected by rising water and residents need to get ready because the worst of the flooding is still upriver. The wet West: An approaching storm system will dump moderate to heavy rain across central and Northern California Saturday and Sunday. A few showers could sneak down into Southern California by Sunday. Temperatures will also be below average in California, with highs only in the mid-60s. Scorching heat in the central USA, Southeast: Temperatures will continue to roast across much of the eastern half of the nation. Record high temperatures remain possible in the Deep South and southern Plains, as highs soar well into the upper 90s both weekend days. East of the Rockies, only New England and the upper Great Lakes will see cooler than average temperatures this weekend. Low severe threat: There is only a slight chance of severe thunderstorms in parts of the Upper Midwest Saturday, with the greatest likelihood in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Large hail and damaging winds are possible, but a widespread tornado outbreak is not expected. To the east of the severe weather threat area, light showers and non-severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday in the eastern Great Lakes and interior Northeast. By Sunday, most of the rain showers are forecast to fall in the Ohio Valley and interior New England. Northern floods: River floods will continue to be a concern in the Missouri River Valley Basin this weekend, with flooding likely in parts of Montana, the Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska on both Saturday and Sunday. Recent torrential rain and melting snow has sent rivers well above flood stage.

>> but we can tax more than at the current low rates if your boys would just get out of the way. Yes, you can, and when you do, it drags the entire economy down with it. As we know. No, it doesn't! No, it doesn't! No, it doesn't! Its just more GOP mythology. Its that BS that's gotten us into the current mess. Repeat after to me......no, it doesn't! So, yes, we can give everyone an equally lousy playing field by increasing taxes. Or we have a playing field where the most capable succeed and serve as employers for the less capable. I guess the public has to choose which is better. Perhaps in your dreams America will decline to look more like some of those countries you love so much. Its either what I like or what you all prefer......the third world.
