Warm and more humid air will also stretch into parts of the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Farther north, cool air will hold over much of New England the Upper Midwest and the northern Plains. In between, an area of showers and storms is forecast along the battle zone between the two air regimes. Storms from the central Appalachians to the Ohio Valley can be locally severe with damaging winds, hail, flash flooding and frequent lightning.

The delay comes hours af- ter a Republican-led House spending panel criticized the Obama administration's healthier school-lunch stan- dards and proposed letting some schools opt out of them entirely. USDA said schools can put off for two years a re- quirement that all pastas in schools be whole-grain rich, or more than half whole grain, if they can demon- strate that they have had "significant challenges" in preparing whole-grain pasta. Many schools have complained that the whole- grain pastas don't hold to- gether well when cooked. "Schools raised legitimate concerns that acceptable whole-grain rich pasta prod- ucts were not available," said Kevin Concannon, USDA un- dersecretary for food, nutri- tion and consumer services. "We worked to find a solu- tion which will allow more time for industry to develop products that will work for schools." While many students have adapted easily to whole grain breads and rolls, which have been on the market for some time, school nutrition directors say they are hav- ing a harder time with pas- tas, biscuits, tortillas and grits — all popular items on the lunch line. The current requirement is that 50 per- cent of all grain products be whole-grain rich, but that is set to jump to 100 percent in the next school year. The School Nutrition As- sociation, which represents school nutrition directors and companies that sell food to schools, said the an- nouncement is a good first step. "Getting students to ac- cept whole grain pasta is just one of many challenges school meal programs have faced under USDA regula- tions," said Leah Schmidt, president of the group. The GOP spending bill for agriculture and food pro- grams was released Mon- day and would allow schools to apply for waivers to opt out of the standards if they had a net loss on school food programs for a six month period. A House Appropri- ations subcommittee ap- proved the bill Tuesday. Championed by first lady Michelle Obama, the health- ier standards have been phased in during the past two school years, with more changes coming in 2014. In addition to whole grain requirements, the rules set fat,calorie,sugarandsodium limits on foods in the lunch line and beyond. While many schoolshavehadsuccessput- ting the rules in place, others havesaidtheyaretoorestric- tive and costly. HEALTHY LUNCHES USDA delays whole grains rule for school pastas LMOTERO—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Students use the condiment station during lunch in the cafeteria in Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas. School districts are trying to entice students into healthier eating habits amid higher federal nutrition standards that emphasize whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
