brown: thank you to my colleague from montana and senator from texas as well.e've been working hard on this amendment. the senator just got through speaking, i just want to commend him privately and publicly for really taking this effort and trying to work through in a bipartisan manner, because as i've said publicly many times, this is an issue that affects the american people in very serious ways. and i don't want to rush it. i want to do it right so we don't have to come here next year or next month and try to fix the problems that we may have inadvertently created here. so i appreciate you allowing me to come and speak to you privately in your office, and your staff, and work through this. and i'm hoping we can continue with that bipartisan effort. as a reflection of that, i've signed on to many amendments, some by my democratic colleagues and some by my republican colleagues. i'm thankful that the majority leader has said publicly that we're going to get a full and fair discourse on these issues. and the one that i'm referring to here today is the tester-h

over northern montana. yes, cold enough in the 30s. there was some snow. and that area of low pressure is going to ride quickly after this one. friday night. we'll have a front going through the region. maybe showers late friday night. this front is moving very quickly across the great lakes. already making it into did troit and buffalo now. with skinny little line of showers. most of this activity looks like it's going to pass again to our north. tomorrow morning, maybe 6 to 9, maybe a brief shower. primarily tomorrow will be a dry and breezy day. behind the front, the winds go back out to the west. and we'll watch high pressure build in. so thursday afternoon, all day friday. beautiful friday night. that next system, a little stronger, passes through. i think there will be sunshine friday afternoon. this is where we could see pretty good thunderstorms by the time it gets to late, late friday night and saturday morning, may have some showers. but it getting wet again over the weekend. bay temp up to 62. tonight, clear to partly cloudy. 58. and a little mi

great falls, man man, montana to the north. there is a cooler air mass coming out of canada.hat arrives for the weekend. not so much for saturday, but mother's day. temperatures will be a lot cooler. mostly father at 11:00. i even think tomorrow morning it will be slightly muggy. more muggy than we have seen in the last couple of days. not much, but a little bit. you will notice it. as we go through the day tomorrow and temperatures warm up there is a funnel system that lagrange brink in slightly dryer air. we will start muggy and then dry out as the day progresses. high temperatures for mother's day. about 67 degrees. the way it's look right now, we should have good amounts of sunshine on sunday, okay? so at least that forecast is hold now. we have had clear skies here. a little bit of thunderstorm activity up to the north. this kicking up in advance of a funnel system. this funnel system is coming on through bringing the cooler air we were show you on the earlier graphic graphic there. down for the southeast and mid atlantaic, it is warm. i think we are in for a lot of suns

even caused snow this morning in montana. cold temps up there in the 30s. that is going to move through the area. late friday night, early saturday morning. and that has a better chance of creating some scattered showers and thundershowers. although the timing for both of these is not the appropriate time for the strongest thunderstorm. that would be like 4:00, 5:00, 6:00 in the afternoon. after daytime heighting. this front -- heating. this front, from buffalo to cleveland. to indianapolis. it's very weak. mostly to the east and northeast. we'll see these clouds in morning. still about noontime, a slight chance of a shower with that system moving through behind it. beautiful weather, for most of the day on thursday. and all day friday. it's friday night. once this high moves off, the next storm moves across portions of ohio. there could be pretty good storms friday afternoon. by the time it gets to us, late friday night, early saturday morning. just scattered showers. maybe a rumble of thunder. behind it, breezy. and it will turn cooler by saturday afterno

billings, montana, and perhaps others. we had an accident recently down in jamaica that was the direct result of an overrun. these types of accidents, unfortunately, have been all-too familiar to us in aviation safety. they plague us all over the world. this was a brand-new boeing 737-800. a lot of capability. i'm sure the crew had a high capability. but there is this temptation to try to salvage a landing at times, when you're too hot, too fast, and too far down the runway. >> you heard jim sciutto talk about this. but there's been a lot of talk in the media this morning perhaps lax oversight of the booming aviation industry in india. but you point out there hasn't been an air crash in india in ten years. >> you know, that is a very superlative record. we've only gone five years at one particular point, between 2001, and 2006, in the united states with that kind of no fatality record. they have a sophisticated system. even though they have a lot of air traffic. but this is not an india-specific problem, really. this is so
