reports of severe storms crossing from great lakes down to the parts of the southeast including the carolinas. we have ongoing storm systems right now. most of the severe weather is over. we are dealing with weather leftover across the southeast like south carolina north carolina and portions of the floor day panhandle. it will be a slow go because of the rainfall. you can see the heavy rain across southern portions of alabama and northwest of tallahassee. we are dealing with a large area of high pressure that's the system producing all of the hot conditions across the plains states and across the southeast. with the ridge of high pressure you 4r6 the moisture creeping in that will be firing up showers and thunderstorms. some of those storms could produce sever weather. some of the areas will be in the carolinas so you have another round of storms later today and

other parts of minnesota and also eastern portions of the dakotas. how bad will it be today? upper 09s for raleigh, atlanta. well above average temperatures this time of year. you factor in the humidity and it feels even photter. we will see triple dig get heat index values. as we head out the doors during the day it will feel like 105 degrees out there. another scorcher for you unfortunately. typically most of the areas would be in the upper 80{caseñ] low 90s this time of year. tuesday and wednesday still is going to be hot. some will be rebounding into the triple dig get numbers. tuesday 101, wednesday 102 in kansas. another scorcher, tomorrow's high temperatures a little mow of a widespread look.

rapid city 99 degrees. continuing to see the hot temperatures. maria molina thank you so much. 100 plus degree temperatures from candace to to the east. no signs of letting up dominating the sunday talk shows. listen to this florida's governor vowing to defy the u.s. supreme court ruling. kelly wright is live from washington. tell us about this and other governors that may follow suit. >> i will get to that but let's talk about what's going on with the debate. the supreme court made a surprise decision that uphold the care act. it is a victory for obama who is saying the time to to focus on jobs and the economy. 5-4 the affordable care act is constitutional. john roberts known as a conservative voting with the

four liberal justices on the court declaring the law is constitutional under federal taxing powers. jack lew telling fox news despite them calling the law on tax in reality he says it's a penalty fee with the individual man daylight that purchase health insurance. >> the only thing that puts a burden to pay more is penalty for those who can afford insurance and those who choose to buy it. that's 1 percent of the population. in massachusetts where this was tested in the plan governor romney put in place 1 percent of the population ended up paying the penalty. republicans view president obama's defining law of his presidency quite differently. they argue the law will put a huge burden on the doubled economy and debt. republican leaders found a return to congress after the july 4th holiday to start taking

him. >> i think justice kennedy gt it right he found the medicaid mandate unconstitutional and said clearly congress would not have passed that without the two pillars which they found constitutional. four justices agreed the whole thing should be replaced. republican leaders are outraged with obama care. the sunshine state will not em mriment insurance or expand medicare. florida led the fight against the healthcare law. governor scott says he will not supply the wiwith the supreme c decisions saying he is not alone. others like scott walker rick perry and bobby ginned el are

with them he claims. it is a long battle toward the possible reelection. see how it all squares off. thank you so much. this is nating some of the governors may not follow through with this. >> healthcare ruling is still the big talker. democrats spending most of the time in the sunday talk shows insisting the mandate is not a tax. take a look at what happened when nancy pelosi said it was just a penalty. >> the president was adamant in saying it is not a tax. solicitor general went to the supreme court and said this is constitutional under the taxing authority of congress. >> that's right. >> is that how we told the american people? >> no. it's a penalty that comes under the tax code for the one percent perhaps of the population who may decide they are going to be free riders.

>> this is a tax. >> no. no. it's not a tax. the tax -- it's a penalty for free riders. she almost said tax. they are vowing to repeal the healthcare law. here is house speaker john boehn boehner. >> the idea that the federal government can mandate the american people purchase a product is shocking to me. they made their decision. i respect their ability to make that decision. but all it really does is strengthen my resolve and other republicans in washington to repeal this law which is increasing health insurance and making it harder for small businesses to hire new workers. >> there you go. house republicans may move as soon as july 11th to make that a healthcare law. donald trump is here and he

will discuss what the healthcare will mean for businesses. it is 11 minutes after the hour. coming up it's a scene right out of the movies, baus a great white short we will at the tell you where. did you know the average man lies 6 times a way? chances are his phone probably didn't die.

to more documents. >> the facts we have received about the fast and furious operation came were whistleblowers and others associated with it. we got no information that helped in our investigation from the justice department at any point in this investigation. the american people deserve the truth. >> last week the house voted to hold holder in contempt. an investigation is underway after a tragic accident in the state of arizona. a helicopter crashing into a river. this is south of camp verdict, arizona leaving all four victims dead. raymond perry the ceo of mexican restaurant chain. records show he was flying the helicopter to scott dale at the time. >> chris christie not holding back on calling out a reporter for not listening to

the end of the week. people that don't have electricity obviously don't have a air-conditi air-conditioning. it becomes a health hazard for folks. people are seeking refuge but they can only stay in those places for so long. the hope is a lot of the power is restored quickly. some people aren't just missing electricity but there's an apartment building beyond the trees that lost its roof. 800 people are looking for a home as a result of that. the cleanup is going to take a long time. compounding this is the fact that it's region was shocked by this storm. it wasn't like a hurricane. it had the force like a hurricane but not the predictability. we didn't know a few days in advance we were going to be facing this. it is a mess and it will take a long time to clean up. thanks so much, doug. looking good out there. used to seeing you in a suit. it's too hot out there. >> maria molina has more from the extreme weather center on
