this is courtesy of noaa's winter outlook, which we got this week.verage temperatures, perhaps, for the south central u.s. and maybe even england. for precipitation, maybe a little more rain and/or snow for the northwest, but looks like below-average precip for parts of the southeast and southwest. we don't have an el nino or la nina pattern in place, which strongly influenced our winter conditions. that's the cooling or warming of the equatorial pacific that we look at for winter outlooks. challenging forecast beyond two weeks without the la nina or el nino in place. and it looks like a little drought relief is expected for the southwest while the drought is likely to develop across areas over the southeast. here is the "farmers' almanac" winter outlook. and look at all of these headlines. bitter, snowy y weather acrosse great lakes, cold, wet, or white for the northeast, and piercing cold for much of the central u.s., wet and chilly for the southeast, which would contradict the noaa weather outlook, and it looks like dry and chilly for the northwes

we will use base flood elevation maps from fema, the coastal mapping capabilities of noaa.and a sea level rise calculator from the corps of engineers. this tool yesterday was recognized by the president and was awarded the green government climate change champion award. so the collaboration between our agencies as a result of sandy has already produced a future looking sustainability and tool that we can all use throughout the federal government. in addition, noaa and the corps of engineers are working together to help rebuild more resilient and sustainable coastal communities. while working on post sandy recovery efforts in new york and new jersey, noaa and the corps set systems, rebuilding principles in order to promote a unified strategy for activities in restoring the coast. collaborative efforts on all levels continue to explore and implement solution that reduce risk from coastal storms such as appropriate land use planning, nonstructural solutions, and well communicated evacuation planning. mr. chairman, and members of the committee, i thank you for the opportunity a

so folks need to have their noaa weather radios on as these storms continue to move eastward. the good news is the storms are losing a little of their punch but we're still looking at the threat for isolated tornadoes. this will go down as one of the top five tornado outbreaks for the month of november. taking a look at the watches, these extend from tennessee up toward ohio, the eastern great lakes region. we have some severe thunderstorm warnings in around bowling green and then east of cincinnati, a tornado warning there. otherwise, severe thunderstorm warnings as we look at the storm sort of pushing into canada. this is the parent storm. the upper level low. you can see the low pressure, the downer clockwise winds as it pushes north and eastward. the trailing cold front will give us the front. as we go through the evening hours, these are the areas i want to take note of here. from nashville toward detroit, buffalo, pittsburgh, and toward the northeast. the drive in tomorrow morning. for d.c. up toward new york, it won't have the same severe threat. we still could see some

all of which were predicted as if you had noaa reporting that the storm was coming four years ago. and the administration and the democrats in the house were in denial, they misled, and they did nothing to prevent what is now unfolding. so i think 2014 is going to be a referendum on the failures of this administration and this notion and philosophy that big government has the answers. big government can do things better. and americans now fully appreciate and understand that that's not the best approach. >> congressman greg waldman, friday, at a christian science monitor breakfast, he's the chair of the campaign committee. from oregon. independent line, good morning? >> good morning. i guess i want to start with the money or whatever. we've had -- everyones had health care for i guess the last 30 years because you can go to the emergency room, which is an unfunded federal mandate and you have to be treated. medicaid, there's like a three-to-one ratio of the states that are up and operating with people going on medicaid and, of course, jay carney astounded me the other day when he s

senate's expedited calendar and removed from senate consideration approximately 3,000 nominations for the noaa, officer corps and the public health service? the president pro tempore: it is the understanding of the chair that pursuant to s. res. 116, and s. 679, the 112th congress, a large number of nominations were moved to a newly created expedited consideration process or removed from the advice and consent process of the senate altogether. the chair cannot confirm the exact number. mr. mcconnell: mr. president, i move to adjourn the senate until 5:00 p.m. and ask for the yeas and nays. the president pro tempore: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be a sufficient second. the question is on the motion. the clerk will call the roll. vote: # vote: vote: the president pro tempore: are there other senators wishing to vote? if not, on this vote the yeas are 46, the nays are 54. the motion to adjourn is not agreed to. the majority leader. mr. reid: are we now on the motion to reconsider the millett nomination? the president pro tempore: we are. is there a sufficient second? there is a

well, noaa puts out the forecast. lara's straight on. there's no real driving factor.ow the drought will persist in the southwest. we're seeing that. cold and snowy up north. looks like winter, right? yeah. the winter forecast looks like winter. let me tell you what has happened and is going to happen in the near term. i can promise you this. you have the dust storm over lubbock yesterday. the cold front sweeping through and bringing not only those very gusty winds, rain and some snow that moves in. we will see the winter advisories and warnings later. i want to give you an idea of what's happening behind it. dallas, that same cold front is going to drop you. you dropped 40 today. 30 through the weekend. chicago drops in the mid-20s. new york city, it's nice today. but >> this weather report, brought to you by jimmy dean. in atlanta, you notice, you don't get out of it either. you get down to freezing for a high on sunday. everybody's going into winter. >> thank you, ginger. >>> still to come here, the woman who says she's going to marry charles manson, one of america'

finding confusion, chaos, cancellations, cost increases, all of which were predicted as if you had noaahat the storm was coming three years ago, and the administration and the democrats in the house or in denial. they missed lead and did nothing to prevent what is now unfolding, and so i think 2014 is going to be a referendum on the failures of this administration and its notion that bigsophy government has the answers, big government can do things better, and americans now fully appreciate and understand that that is not the best approach, and further that they want a check and balance on the obama administration and its big government ideas. thatthey did not have check and balance when the health care law was passed only with democrat votes. pelosi shut out every single amendment in the house that was tried to be offered in the rules committee on that fateful day. the president has apologized to the american people in different ways. i think it is time for the democrats who voted for this law and for the speaker of the house, and today would be a perfect day, to apologize, as well, be

noaa wyatt got turned down for the federal housing authority is same day as patty millett got rejecteduorum because they didn't like the agency. for years they wouldn't confirm an agency head. this is all nullification behavior. the nullification of existing laws is a very serious threat to our democracy, and so i think we can't let an abusive senate procedural rules basically nullify the law that says they're supposed to be 11 d.c. circuit judges or a federal housing authority with a head. pattie millett, well qualified, served in the solicitor generals offices of democratic and republican administrations, bipartisan support, military spouse, she's done everything while raising her kids and her great professional career while her husband was in the military, deployed to iraq at least on one occasion, and yet they're blocking her to try to nullify the law that says the d.c. circuit has 11 judges. very troubling. >> so i take that point and hear that from a lot of democrats. but we have been down this road before, very recently, just a few months ago. and every time we go down this road

noaa. dealing with oceans and atmosphere. nasa dealing with space. all of these research projects are fundamental to economic growth and all of them have federal funding. some of them with partnerships with state, some with private funding but these partnerships have created the foundation for economic growth. i had the pleasure of being at the university of california-davis earlier this last week. meeting with the heads of four departments, each of them engaged in a different kind of research, orte science research in some cases, water research in others, and everybody knows that california has its water issues and right now we're in the early stages of what i hope and pray is not a drought. so we have these researchers out there. other research on health issues. all of them saying that the sequestration and the budget cuts that the -- at the federal government are severely impacting critical research that was about to mature into a solution for health problem, into a new way of conserving water or a new energy system using hydrogen or solar. but th
