the offshore environment, noaa has a role. and in state waters, the state has a strong world working with other agencies. noaa and the states also interact with the fda in making those decisions. the information can be found mostly on the internet, but those updates on changes, closures, and open fishing areas are set by people in louisiana, on our website for national fisheries service, and any changes are posted at noon every day. there is also information about the changes as far as the efforts being taken to reopen the fisheries. i will say that the responsibility to look up for the protection of the public to ensure the longevity and the people's believe that they are able to purchase good seafood and it is safe and wholesome for consumption falls to those agencies and we are aggressively looking at sampling to try and reopen some of those areas, especially off of florida. we expect some potential changes this week from the efforts of sampling and analysis both analytic testing and gcms testing. >> there is no one place w

i know from my experience when i was at noaa that the coast guard and noaa work very well together. and that in a -- an oil spill that noaa acts as the science adviser, and you're in the position of the responder. how well has that worked? are there instances where the advice from the scientists at noaa have not been taken? or vice-versa? >> well, actually, my experience over the years vz in this spill had been it's worked exceptionally well. in fact, there's not a day goes by that when you talk to the federal, on-scene coordinator, coast guard, federal on-scene coordinator, he or she doesn't have the science adviser right there with them. we rely on noaa for spill trajectories, for actual sampling of the waters, for information with respect to fisheries, closures. for weather report. we work very closely, for example, with the national hurricane center and dr. bill reed down there during the build-up and aftermath of the tropical storm systems that came through. so i would say that that's one of the strongest relationships in the unified command right now is the noaa and coast guar

and noaa talking about it's a tradeoff, it's a tradeoff. to us as fishermen, and it's not just myself, it's all of us, the tradeoff will be our industry. you say this stuff. our fish with bottom feeders and the shrimp are bottom feeders. the only tradeoff is our industry. we've been fighting tooth to nail from the very beginning. we are totally against it. let it come where we can see it. we putting booms out and skimmers out there that get to these. a testimony while ago, they see it. the salt and boom beads it up and erodes it right off of it. for them to say we haven't seen it, we have boats out there that have seen it. it doesn't soak up. it's all in a ball and it rolls right off of it. the only tradeoff is our industry and our waters. if it's -- how can we let them do it here? is it safe to use it here if it ain't there? what's the difference? it's us and -- they in control? this has to stop. we can't fight something we can't see. we don't know the long-term effects for our saltwater fisheries. just like the lady that said in alaska. i

the bad news, according to the noaa forecast, the dark blue area you see surrounded by the hatch blue area where the heaviest concentrations of oil is and that means bretton sound and the chandelier islands will deal with this. about 150 miles of coastline are expected to be impacted, lester. that could be less by the time all is said and done than we had with alex. >> thanks, jim cantore. >>> while the gulf coast battens down the hatches for bonnie, a storm system 900 miles to the north left milwaukee soaked and shocked. behind it came extreme heat that was making for miserable conditions outside. that is where nbc's kevin tibbles is tonight. kevin, tell us about it. >> reporter: hey, lester. with all the talk of tropical storms in the gulf it is hard to believe it is monsoon season here in milwaukee, just as another wave of heat crosses through much of the country. it didn't just pour. milwaukee was pounded. a record 5.6 inches of rain from one massive storm. >> i'm very amazed at this. i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: nearly eight inches of rain in a single day, a

noaa and then goes to the state. we make it clear, we don't want to be -- we are going to be out of the waters. we need to hear. we are strongly against that. we want to make sure when we get into the port to sell it's good. and we don't want that to backlash. we already have enough problems. we want to make sure everything is straight. by doing that, you are creating bigger problems. even though they say tomorrow, they stop it today. get out of the area, no problem. and they are willing to do that. so it starts with noaa and goes to the state. >> the shrimping could be permitted in places where it's forbidden? >> sure. it can be any time. i have been here, a bunch of stuff, we want to work for b.p. people have to understand, we are between a rock and a hard place. if we get called to go get the job and we don't accept it, we may be on the bottom of the list. now, i'm going fishing today, doesn't mean i'm going fishing tomorrow. so i'm putting myself in a situation where i can't make money tomorrow i don't know if i

noaa is working closely with the f.d.a. to make sure that the fish that are caught are safe for consumption and this has been a focused effort by f.d.a. and nmp oaa. regarding what comes next, i have said on several occasions, even if we can take the well and the well is capped in mid-august, there is a significant amount of oil out there and the oil recovery and impact of this oil will extend well into the fall in terms of oil cominga shore, tar balls and cleanup and we will be moving forward trying to understand the long-term environmental impact. >> there have been some confirmed amounts of tar balls from the b.p. oil spill washing ashore in texas and until galveston, i'm wondering if you know of any recent test results on the tar that has washed up there in galveston. also the skimmers that you are trying to expand the use of be coming into the waters around the texas coastline? >> my understanding is and we have had tar balls fl on the peninsula. some of the them had the characters of this spill and some have not. the

you know, noaa and the f.d.a. have very careful monitoring. they closed about 35% of federal waters and coastal areas to fishing. there is i think they have a seven-person panel that examines seafood on a daily basis and they do a smell test to see if it has an oily smell and send in samples to first toxicity. so far it is testing out ok that is coming out of the gulf. that is on a short-term basis. long-term we don't know. i for one, as a grown man that doesn't have issues around fish like children and women of childbearing age, i decided acally to eat gulf shrimp because i want to support the fishermen down there. tavis: paul greenberg has given us our men use. his book is called "four fish: the future of." thank you. >> thanks, tavis. appreciate it. tavis: up next, david kilcullen. stay with us. dave zave a former counterinsurgency advisor for david petraeus and former secretary of state condoleeza rice. his new text is called "counterinsurgency". david kilcullen, good to have you on the program. >> thank you for having me. tavis: let me st

now, a report recently from noaa says that on a global scale, compared to average june, the warmest on record. all you have to do is go outside in most areas to feel the heat. take a look at the heat index. what we are looking at here -- this is the temperature with the relative humidity factored in. to give you an idea what it feels like when you go outside and triple digits from the southwest to the northeast, that was today. here is a look at tomorrow. still expecting to feel the sizzle. this is a look at the actual highs. what we are expecting, the forecast for tomorrow. plenty of 90s and, again, look at the southwest -- triple digits. factor in that relative humidity and we are looking at, again, another day of temperatures that will feel like they are in the triple digits from the southwest to the northeast. brian, one more thing to think about. southwest, when you look at the hot and dry conditions, the southwest could see some thunderstorms and that will increase the threat for lightning and, thus, the potential for wildfires. >> and they are rolling into new york here later ri

the new analysis from noaa brings good news for mississippi, alabama, and florida. it says their beaches likely won't see major amounts of oil, although a few tar balls are possible in the future. the major effects of the oil spill-- here in louisiana. katie. >> couric: all right, don teague in grand isle. don, thanks very much. turning to the ethics case now against veteran congressman charlie rangel. the new york democrat faces a trial in the house of representatives this fall on 13 counts of ethics violations, a process that could take months. in an exclusive interview, "the early show's" harry smith asked president obama his reaction to the rangel case. >> i think charlie rangel served a very long time and served his constituents very well. but these allegations are very troubling, and, you know, he's somebody who is at the end of his career-- 80 years old. i'm sure what he wants is to be able to end his career with dignity. and my hope is that that happens. >> couric: you can see much more of that exclusive interview with the president on "cbs sunday morning,"

noaa cited last month as the hottest june ever reported worldwide and with july continuing the trend, the agency predicts this will be the hottest summer, the hottest year even. >> not just new york city, it's global and not just the atmosphere, the atmosphere and ocean, as well. >> reporter: moscow is enduring a month-long heat wave that has residents seeking relief in the fountains of red square. in the typically mild uk, an ice cream truck is supplying canines with cold treats. dog days of summer, indeed. sunday into monday will bring some relief in the northeast with temperatures remaining in the mid-90s but much less humidity. still, sharyn, this is not likely to be the last heat wave we see during this seemingly endless summer. >> all right, stephanie sy, thank you. >>> as we said, the weather in the gulf is much better than forecast. a rare bit of good news in the battle to seal the crippled well, tropical storm bonnie was a bust, and so tonight ships are returning to work at the spill site, and matt gutman is back along the gulf tonight. matt? >> reporter: sharyn, the fear tha

our weather is an unusual pattern says noaa. they say the lows over us and they say a corresponding high has been dominating the east coast. heat builds up in the southeast states but it stays cool on the west coast. for now, a relatively stable pattern of breezy and unseasonably cool for us. >> that happens periodically for a number of months and then everything will break loose and we'll get a little more fickle weather than we've seen. >> reporter: we ran into some folks who were quite happy with our summer. >> this isn't actually bad weather, at least from where we're from. [ laughter ] >> reporter: yes. well, they are from alaska. now, chief meteorologist bill martin is standing by with the lowdown on what all of this really means for us. bill? >> well, i tell you what, john, we're dealing with a lessened fire danger, aren't we? temperatures are cooler. humidities are higher. fire is not the lead story in the newscast. it's been good that way. spare the air days, we haven't had many. we lack at the graphic, high pressure is

according to noaa we are on track to have the hottest summer in record. >> ice cold. >> leaving residents scrambling to beat the heat. >> good cold water on a nice hot day. the only problem is when you run out. >> i'll tell you the folks living in those states that have heat advisories definitely need cold water. 11 states all the way from georgia on up the coast well through new york city. the temperatures do dissipate just a bit but it's going to feel still a bit steamy. as we look at these steamy temperatures, cincinnati, 91 today. continues that trend through tuesday. raleigh, 103. by tuesday it's 88. the nation's capital is really where you see a significant difference, 99 in washington, d.c. today. by tuesday, it gets back down to 90. new york city, 91. is it hot? >> all: yes. >> it's hot. we're going to keep an eye on it for you. sharyn? >> all right. thanks, mary. >>> on the gulf coast thad a expected. what was once a tropical storm bonnie died over the ocean bringing very litt win f1 ashpi nde matt gutman is in buras, louisiana, again this morning his morning and bonnie was just

worldwide, though, temperatures are at some of their warmest according to noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric association. why is this all happening? i wish we had someone here who could help us answer that question. anyone that you guys know of? >> that guy right there. >> me, me, pick me. >> it's true. back east they've had just record heat. now here in the bay area, some really cold temperatures. >> i want to show you a graphic. you talked about variances. look at san jose. typically 85. today 77. what i want to show you is this graphic here. you talk about the heat in the east coast. also across the central half of the united states.hi we've got a lot of hot air right over the central part of the united states. this is actually an el nino year and the jet stream has moved up to the north. when that happens, imagine all that heat. you've got heat and heat rises. so when heat rises there's an empty space down below. some air needs to fill that. and we've got all the fog off the coast. that rushes in from the coast. of course, it's blocked by the sierra range. so it doesn't m

and in that visit i met people from virtually every major federal agency, from noaa, e.p.a., national marine fishery services, the coast guard and countless others many of whom i'm proud to say are from my own great state of washington and they are very proud of the work they're doing. and i want to begin by acknowledging them. as we all know, open 90 came in response to the exxon valdez spill, and thanks to ms. woolsey's leadership we actually begun in our subcommittee to how to review how the research effort to prepare for and prevent these kinds of spills was going on -- was going forward. sadly, that proved to be very pressing because the spill that involved in the gulf is precisely the kind of effort -- event we were trying to prepare for. the average folks i represent say to themselves and they ask us a few simple questions. what went wrong that actually began this? how do we prevent future spills from happening? and if there should be a future spill, what can we do to clean it up and to better understand and mitigate the environmental impact? the legislation, both bills before

that's according to noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric association.ut here in the bay area we're seeing one of the coolest summers on record. let's just take san jose, for example. national weather service says that since mid-may, san jose where you guys are at right now, the studio is located, averaging around just under 77 degrees. normally it would be a few degrees higher. closer to 80 degrees. so it is one of the coolest summers on record. that doesn't mean that you're going to be bringing out the gloves and the scarves, but let's say if you want to sit out at night, you will notice those temperatures dropping especially right now early morning before the sun has come up. want to bring craig herrera in. i am going to assume this has something to do with a low pressure trough or disruptions in air flow. am i correct on this? or your going to say i'm a complete idiot and stick to your other job? >> we actually, there's a lot of factors that go into it. swon the low pressure you were talking about just off the coast. another one. talk about the heat

we've also brought our own vessel in, noaa, part of the department of commerce, their pices ves sellnow in doing sonar monitoring which has been very valuable. so it is at our direction and under our analysis that we make this decision about whether or not to continue to cap. >> woodruff: so the actual monitoring is being done by the company and the administration's overseein overseeing-- overseeing that. >> it is at our direction and that's correct, we take the information and analyze it. >> woodruff: and then, so the statement wes were hearing over the weekend, is this just a result of people talking out of turn? >> i think there pite have been a little bit of that. again this is obviously a very difficult situation. and tensions can arise. everybody wants the same goal. we want what's right for the people of the gulf. we want this to end. but we need to do so in a way that is absolutely safe so that we don't create any sort of other accident or unintended consequences. >> woodruff: let me ask you to help us understand something else. and that is the trade-offs involved. if the dec

noaa plans to post the pictures online so you can see them next summer. >> it would show the sea lionse had very nice weather. from this camera this morning sun was up three minutes after 6:00 and low clouds and fog still a shallow depth. but it's making it's way into the parts of east bay. clear in hayward this morning and you begin to feel the cooling effects of a stronger onshore push today. 57 in oakland and 55 in san francisco. inland warmth holding on to the mid-60s. 58 in mountain view and few clouds in napa at 51 degrees. highlights patchy coastal fog this morning. still a warm day today. warmest day of the week. if you like it warm and summer like, it's going to be a little on the cool side. rest of the week as our cooling trend gets underway especially at some time. couple areas of low pressure will descend down from the north. that is going to strengthen the onshore flow deepen the marine layer. it will allow the clouds to gather at the coast and west winds will keep the fog from san mateo and half moon bay with on a. more 60s in san francisco. very pleasant and more 80s in

well, noaa and others went back and looked at the events that were called hurricane katrina and noaa tells us that for four hours before the storm surge arrived in south mississippi that house, the house before, was subjected to hurricane-force winds for four hours. before the water ever got there. and yet the insurance companies wanted to turn around and blame everything on the water. why? because they could stick the taxpayers with the bill. next house, please. more typical home, more modest home. this one's about a mile inland. about a mile inland. pretty good way from the water. beautiful home, this is what the folks who lived there, when they left, looked at last. this is what they came home to. it's not just three houses, it's not 30 houses, it was 30,000 houses that this happened to. so again, these folks, knowing that this was a big part of their lives, had $249,000 worth of insurance. their insurance company was slightly more generous than the previous two times. and offered them $10,000. now, mr. sessions points out that, incorrectly, that maybe government shouldn't be doin

noaa also does that. the osha website has the data on response workers. so, what we are trying to do in this response is to be as transparent as we can possibly be from the government perspective. so i encourage everybody to look at the results on the websites and be educated about the levels and to ask the questions that you raised. host: brenda, oklahoma city, democrat. caller: caller: i have two comments much first as to the testing for the workers. because government testing takes forever these people could be dead from the toxins before you ever know if they are affected by them. secondly, object the safety of the seafood, you can't possibly be testing every piece of shrimp that comes out of the gulf. guest: certainly on the last issue that is true. i don't think that that is possible. but batching is one way. f.d.a. is increasing its ability to sample and get at that 100% sample rate that you are raising. so, that is being done now. with regard to the testing of response workers, the type of monitoring, air monitoring of their breathing zone samples

i would also look on the noaa site. another sampler of water quality in the gulf area as well as the loop current. your local help department is extremely important in -- your local health department is extremely important in the key largo area. those are some resources to rely on as well as your own observations. i would want those to be able to advise your customers well. host: fred is an oil spill worker from new orleans. caller: i have evidence i have been able to sneak in and take of nighttime spraying of chemicals along the beach of airplanes with their lights out to bleach the beach to make it look like the oil is cleaned up. all of the workers that work on the valdez oil spill are now dead. they are dead because of the dispersant is banned in all other countries. they are allowed to be used down here. when the water keeps up sufficiently down here, all of the oil suppressed by the dispersant will rise. we will then see massive amounts of hydrogen sulfide, been seen dispersed into the air to a deadly level. i am

noaa put out the information. if you take the surface land temperatures, the sea surface temperatures as well, all of those red dots on the reporting side there. you average them all together. the warmest since 1880. globally, the warmest april to june period. we have hot weather from d.c. to portland. this is very warm. on the big board, we'll show you, there's two areas of severe weather rolling. one in the mid plains. and one in the northeast this afternoon. >> and we are live in central park. more weather in the next half hour. robin? >> all right. we'll join you in a bit, sam. >>> a lot of people want to cool off this weekend. is it safe to go in the water? that's the question on the minds of people throughout the northeast, after a series of shark sightings led to the closing of some of the region's most popular beaches. ron claiborne is on the jersey shore with more on that. good morning, ron. >> reporter: good morning, robin. there's a couple of surfers in the distance in the water now. despite shark sight

the third thing they are possibly concerned about is a reading from the noaa ship out there.dy all three of these things, report back, and then they will re-evaluate, decide whether to keep this well open or closed. >> at least for the time being, the idea is to keep the cap on for another 24 hours or so and continue to evaluate as necessary. >> it's a day by day thing. >> all right. kelly, thank you so much. more news. betty nguyen at the news desk with more. good morning, betty. >> good morning, harry and you at home. >>> intelligence gathering since 9/11, it's an industry lacking oversight. there are more than 1200 government organizations and 1900 private companies working on counter-terrorism, homeland security and intelligence. they are located at about 10,000 locations all across the country. the post reports many agencies do the same work wasting money and other resources. >>> a wind blown wildfire has destroyed three homes in central washington. the fire broke out yesterday afternoon some 10 miles west of yakima. more than 10,000 acres have burned so far. evacuations

. >> i asked the noaa administrator to give us some detailed projections over the next 72 hours on whatkind of see states we can expect at the well site related to this wells that are generated down at the yucatan channel as that front comes through. depending on what types of vessels operating out there, some could stay out longer in a higher seat state. during the last time, we had to stop lightering operation. we got to a point where they were completely at capacity and we got there just in time so that we could start lightering again. if you're talking about the smaller supply vessels, they tend to start having problems anywhere from 6 to 8 feet. if you're talking about the production vessels, the threshold is at 12. when you stop doing what you are doing and to leave the scene, is dependent on the master who bears responsibility for the safety of the units. the larger vessels, in development driller two, can withstand up to 20 feet because they are very heavy. they have pontoons and other -psupport for stability. it depends on the type of vessel. our discussions will be aaout thres

we just had noaa report this has been the hottest year on record going back to 1980 so far.e have new data on the level of warming, yet in the political battle is not have that much. host: nick out of atlanta, georgia. go ahead. caller: it was interesting that you mentioned the the temperatures going out. those temperatures were heavily weighted in urban tempt -- in urban areas. for you to come off and say that the increase to consumers would be "modest" is arrogant at best. it shows a bias. my question is this. when we give the government control over the carbon trading, would that give them the ability to determine who wins and loses in the marketplace? guest: a couple things. it is hard to fathom -- i did not feel like i was going to be arrogant by putting out what was in the studies by the epa in the energy administration. secondly, picking winners and losers has been a real part of the debate. if you sort of say we're going to incentivize this or that technology, that does something that takes power away from the government and puts government in the role of sandy's of

carried with it various instruments and cameras, coordinated data collection with various nasa and noaa satellites and took vangs of the unique -- advantage of the ewe teak opportunity to -- unique opportunity to track global networks. these measurements will be shared and used to compliment other ocean graphic, atmospheric and climate science research programs, the majority of which originated at a physic lab and the joint institute for the study of atmosphere and oceans at the university of washington. to help in accomplishing the educational goals this project, they used a set of curricular and educational resources developed by seattle's pacific science center and brought with with them trained bilingual educate horse shared lessons linked to the onboard scientific research with with the communities they visited. the completion of the ocean watch's extraordinary voyage cannot come at a more critical time in our nation's ecological history. as we watch helplessly as the oil gushes into the gulf of mexico and it devastates the region's ecosystem, the far-reaching potential of conseque

>> i have asked the noaa administrator to give us some projections on what kind of situations that we can expect at the well site. depending on what types of vessels are operating out there, some can stay out longer. during the last frontal passage, we had to stop from the discovery enterprise. we got to a point where they were completely at capacity. we could start lighter and again otherwise we would have to reduce production. >> some vessels start having problems at 6 feet to 8 feet. some has tte ability to deal with it up to 12. this is really dependent upon the master who is responsible for the safety of the units. development driller three and two can withstand up to 20 feet because they are very heavy and they have confidence and they are supported and have a lot of stability. this depends upon the type of vessel. our discussions will be about thresholds'. we have this threshold which anticipates the offset of tel force winds. we ccn generate swells from a great distance away. -- we have this threshold which anticipates the onset of gale force winds. >> how do you feel about th

noaa, they count. e.p.a., wild live and fisheries, department health, all those agencies have given us a clean bill of health and we're waiting on f.d.a. f.d.a. is simply holding us up by protocols. if they let us get back to work, we could get back to work, our fishing communities could be back at 86% of our shorelines but we're not there. some of our seafood distributors and processors are coming this week and are going to have a hard time getting product because of the f.d.a. sitting on their hands. and of course the other challenge is why we're sitting here today. and i'll be very candid. when i learned about the moratorium, like probably everybody else in this room you probably said, is that for real? really? and now i start thinking about it from a fisheries perspective. because, you see, our fishing communities, and what the president doesn't understand and a lot of people actually from other parts of the country have a hard time relating to it because they're far away from us. but our fishing c
