Some mountain flurries and lake-effect snow showers will linger behind the front. The front will trail into the Southeast and Texas and generate showers as it turns stationary. South of the front, especially in Florida, it will stay toasty with some sunshine. High pressure north of the front will keep most of the rest of the nation tranquil. The Northwest will get snow or flurries except for rain west of the Cascades as a cold front arrives.

The Tu-154 owned by the Russian Defense Ministry crashed into the Black Sea early Sunday two minutes after taking off in good weather from the city of Sochi. The plane was car- rying members of the Alex- androv Ensemble, often re- ferred to as the Red Army Choir, to a New Year's con- cert at a Russian military base in Syria. About 3,500 people, 43 ships and 182 divers have been sweeping a vast crash site for bodies of the vic- tims and debris, and doz- ens of drones and sev- eral submersibles also have been involved in the search. Rescue teams so far have recovered 11 bodies and numerous body frag- ments, which have been flown to Moscow for iden- tification. Divers have located parts of the plane's fuse- lage and other fragments, but the search for the jet's flight recorders will likely prove challenging as they lack underwater locator beacons for easy spotting common in more modern planes. Officials sought to squelch speculation that the crash might have been caused by a bomb planted on board or a portable air defense missile. But some aviation ex- perts pointed that the crew's failure to commu- nicate any technical prob- lem and a large area over which fragments of the plane were scattered point at a possible explosion on board. Evidence of a bombing of a Syria-bound military flight would badly embar- rass the Kremlin, high- lighting Russia's extreme vulnerability to attacks even as it boasts its suc- cess in Syria after Aleppo fell into President Bashar Assad's hands. President Vladimir Pu- tin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that an attack isn't a likely sce- nario. Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov, who over- saw the rescue efforts, said investigators were looking into a possible technical fault or pilot error as the most likely reasons behind the crash. But some experts re- mained skeptical, noting that the crew would have reported any technical glitch. "Possible malfunctions ... certainly wouldn't have prevented the crew from reporting them," Vitaly Andreyev, a former senior Russian air traffic control- ler, told RIA Novosti, add- ing that an "external im- pact" was the most likely reason. Russia's main domestic security and counter-ter- rorism agency, the FSB, said it has found "no in- dications or facts point- ing at the possibility of a terror attack or an act of sabotage on board the plane." The plane departed from the Chkalovsky mil- itary airport just outside Moscow and stopped in Sochi for refueling early Sunday. The FSB said bor- der guards and military servicemen were protect- ing the plane as it sat on the tarmac in Sochi, and the chief pilot along with the flight engineer person- ally monitored the refuel- ing. The agency said that a border guard officer and a customs official were the only ones to briefly come on board in Sochi. JET CRASH Kremlin plays down terror attack possibility By Gregory Katz The Associated Press LONDON Grieving fans on Monday mourned the death of George Michael as Brit- ish charities revealed that the pop star had secretly been a major behind-the- scenes donor who gave his time and money to support cherished causes. The man with the repu- tation for self-indulgence had actually given millions of pounds (dollars) to char- ities involved with helping children, cancer victims and AIDS sufferers. He was also remembered for small acts of kindness: helping his village in north London get a Christmas tree, and volunteering at a homeless shelter. The singer's death was announced late Sunday. Many paid tribute on Face- book and Twitter and oth- ers cited years of good works that received little publicity — largely because Michael insisted on keeping his charity work out of the limelight. Fans placed flowers and other tributes at his homes in north London and in Gor- ing, England, where he died of apparent heart failure. Michael's later years were marked by occasional brushes with the law but this was overlooked Mon- day as directors of ma- jor charities and advocacy groups stepped forward to praise him. Among the groups he supported were the Ter- rence Higgins Trust, which helps people with AIDS, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Childline, which offers confidential phone counsel- ing for young people. Childline founder Esther Rantzen said Michael gave royalties from his 1996 hit "Jesus To A Child" to the charity along with many other donations.
