mike i can't help but n nice we're starting to see more and more storms coming in off f the west coast. thanks, clinton, you have been noticing correctly. in fact, when i put this jet stream into motion the one thing that you are going to notice is just ripple, after ripple, after ripple coming along out of the pacific, right across the lower 48, occasionally they kind of try to close off a little bit, but then they just keep on moving, that's a system situation, where you are just going to have one storm after another every couple of days. now they are not going to cause something where you live every time, although the west coast more than likely that will be the case. here's my thirty day outlook for temperatures: below normal, southern mississippi valley, southern half of the plains, four corner region into the southwest--above normal for the northern plains to the mid-atlantic and everywhere off to the northeast. precipitation over the next 30 days: above normal for the west coast, which texas, throughout the east coast area and from about the ohio river southward. the below norma

on the shooting that took place on the west coast. mike viqueira you are ground zero on the debate. is there now a concern in washington, d.c. that there is such a proliferation of guns that no matter what is done on capitol hill there would just be a black market where they could buy them off of the black market if they could get them. >> reporter: that has always been the argument of those opposed to gun control. that has been an argument for decades now. i think there's a recognition on the part of the president and policy makers that it's not going to be coming from washington. you look at an event like this, and you might expect one reaction and oftentimes you get another. people have made up their minds largely on this issue. when you see the grim, the grizzly, series of shootings just this year, when you think about everything that has happened from charleston to oregon to san bernardino and to the unspeakable and unthinkable crime that happened in connecticut at the elementary school. if that's not going to change the atmosphe
