A zone of showers and locally severe thunderstorms is forecast to extend from parts of Colorado to Nebraska, Iowa and the western portions of the Great Lakes region. Cooler air will begin to push to over the northern Plains, while hot and humid air holds over much of Texas and the southern Plains.

It is not, however, the sec- ond coming of a polar vor- tex, a phrase the National Weather Service's Chicago office tweeted earlier this week to describe the up- coming sweater weather. They quickly learned that wasn't such a good idea, said Amy Seeley, a weather service meteorologist who spent a good chunk of Fri- day morning fielding a flood of telephone calls from the media. "I think people are pretty sensitive to those words," she said. What'stoblame? Though Typhoon Neoguri has weakened since hitting Japan, it altered the path of the North Pacific jet stream, allowing polar air behind a trough of low pressure to spill out of Canada and into the Midwest, says Weather Underground meteorology director Jeff Masters. It's similar to the polar vortex pattern from the winter that turned much of the country into a freezer for weeks at a time, break- ing cold weather tempera- ture records in numerous states. But there are key differences, Masters says. This air mass is coming from western Canada and not directly from the arc- tic, plus the polar vortex is not nearly as strong in the summer — and sometimes breaks down completely. How cold will it get? Between Monday and Wednesday, temperatures in the Midwest will be as much as 15 degrees cooler than normal, with the big- gest drops seen close to the Great Lakes, though peo- ple in Oklahoma and Ar- kansas will need to break out pants, too. Meanwhile, the usually temperate Pacific North- west should get ready to sweat. Places like Seattle could reach 90 or higher next week, Masters said. Chicago would normally see highs in the 80s and lows in the mid-60s, but the weather service says highs early next week will climb no higher than the mid-60s — maybe 70 degrees— and lows could dip into the upper 40s. The cool spell is coming at the wrong time for some athletes who are preparing for a triathlon in Wisconsin next weekend. If Lake Mich- igan is too cold, the swim- ming portion won't happen. "It'sdisappointingbecause you've done all the prepara- tions for it," said Elizabeth Waterstraat, who has been coachingseveralpeoplefrom suburban Chicago. What does it mean? That sound you hear com- ingupfromOklahomamight be thousands or people turn- ing off their money-gobbling air conditioners. It could also be the cheers of those who make their living work- ing outside, like the employ- ees at a Tulsa nursery, whose job entails hauling trees and shrubs around town. Further north, the fore- cast is more bad news at the Maple Lane Resort in the western Michigan commu- nity of Empire, along Glen Lake, near Lake Michigan. This summer's cooler tem- peratures already have af- fected business. "We are fully booked for weekends here this sum- mer but we are seeing less families spend a week up here," office manager Amanda Rennie said. "Last year, the stays were longer (and) I think this may have something to do with the weather."

The Associated Press GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK,WYO. A bus carrying Asian tourists flipped on its side on a busy highway in Grand Teton National Park, and eight people were hos- pitalized, officials said. The other 19 people aboard were taken to a hos- pital and released after the crash Thursday afternoon, authorities said. Twoofthevictimswereair- lifted to a medical center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and were listedin fairconditionFriday, a hospital spokesman said. Five were admitted to hospital in Jackson, Wyo- ming, a spokeswoman said. Their conditions weren't immediately available. The driver was among those taken to the Jack- son hospital. It was not im- mediately known if he had been discharged. His name wasn't released. Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said the crash occurred on U.S. 89 north of Colter Bay Village on Jack- son Lake. Authorities be- lieve the bus went off the pavement and the driver over-corrected, causing the bus to flip on its side and slide, Skaggs said.
