While not every location in this area will be hit by severe weather or flooding, there is the potential for widespread travel problems and disruption to activities. The storms will occur in a zone of warm and humid air. Much cooler and less humid air will continue to expand over the Plains and Midwest. Areas around the Great Lakes will be unseasonably chilly with clouds and showers. Waterspouts can form on the lower Great Lakes.

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center of nearly 50,000 respon- dents in 44 countries also found that despite low public approval ratings at home, President Barack Obama is still largely pop- ular around the world. A median 56 percent across those nations said they have confidence that Obama will do the right thing in world affairs — an approval rating little changed from last year. Thebiggestdeclinesinhis standings,globally,sincelast year were found in two na- tions Germany and Brazil, where the U.S. was reported to have listened to the pri- vate phone conversations of national leaders. Overall, a median of 65 percent expressed a posi- tive opinion of the U.S., al- though the rating was just 30 percent in the Middle East. Among 35 countries around the world that were surveyed both in 2014 and 2013, the U.S. rating was unchanged at 62 percent. There was no direct com- parison available covering all the countries covered in the survey. America's reputation for protecting individual lib- erties has been damaged in the year since Snowden began sharing with the public documents on U.S. interception of communi- cations. Yet, the U.S. still ranks far higher on that count than China and Rus- sia, and by a narrow mar- gin, France. In all, majorities in 30 nations expressed a fa- vorable opinion of the U.S. Notwithstanding de- clines in American popu- larity gauged in Germany and Greece in recent years, there's no evidence of a rise of anti-Americanism in most of Western Europe, as happened in the middle of last decade after the in- vasion of Iraq. The biggest decline in U.S. popularity in the world in the past year is in Rus- sia, amid growing Mos- cow-Washington tensions over Ukraine, a former So- viet state. Those with a fa- vorable opinion of the U.S. dropped in Russia by 28 points to 23 percent. Meanwhile, estimations of China's global clout are rising. The numbers of re- spondents believing China has or will eclipse the U.S. as the world's superpower has risen markedly since the global economic slow- down struck in 2008. WORLD Poll: US global image survives spying concerns By Lekan Oyekanmi The Associated Press ABUJA, NIGERIA The Paki- stani teen who survived a Taliban assassination at- tempt in 2012 marked her 17th birthday Monday with a visit to Nigeria and urged Islamic extremists to free the 219 schoolgirls who were kidnapped there, call- ing them her "sisters." Malala Yousafzai, who has become an interna- tional symbol for women's rights in the face of hard- line Islam, said Nigeria's president promised to meet for the first time with the abducted girls' parents. "My birthday wish this year is 'Bring Back Our Girls' now and alive," she said, using the social me- dia slogan that has been picked up around the world to demand freedom for the girls, who were abducted by the extrem- ist group Boko Haram in April from a school in the remote northeast Nigerian town of Chibok. Malala appealed directly to their captors as she held hands with some of the girls who escaped. "Lay down your weap- ons. Release your sisters. Release my sisters. Release the daughters of this na- tion. Let them be free. They have committed no crime." She added: "You are mis- using the name of Islam ... Islam is a religion of peace." Malala also spoke against the custom of child brides in her home country, a tra- dition common in Nige- ria, too. Boko Haram has threatened to sell some of the girls as brides if its fighters are not freed. "Protect girls from cru- elty," she said in a speech, explaining that girls should not be forced to marry or to leave school to become brides "when they should be girls," or to give birth to children "when they them- selves are children." Boko Haram attacks con- tinued over the weekend with witnesses blaming the group for the bombing of a major bridge on a northeast Nigerian highway that fur- ther limits access to its base camps in the Sambisa For- est, where it is believed to be holding some of the girls. Gunmen destroyed most of the bridge on the road be- tween Maiduguri and Biu on Saturday night, mak- ing it impossible for vehi- cles to cross, the spokes- man for the Nigerian Vig- ilante Group, Abbas Gava, told The Associated Press. Malala met Monday with Nigeria's President Good- luck Jonathan and told re- porters that the president "promised me that the girls will be returned as soon as possible." She described an emo- tional meeting Sunday with some of the girls' parents. "I could see tears in their eyes. They were hopeless. But they seem to have this hope in their hearts," and they were asking if they could meet the president. Jonathan has not met with any of the parents, though some regularly make the dangerous drive from Chibok to join activ- ists who have held daily ral- lies in Abuja. When the activists tried to march peacefully to the presidential villa in May, they were blocked by sol- diers and police. Jonathan canceled a planned trip to Chibok that same month. On Monday, he told Ma- lala that criticism that his government is not doing enough is "wrong and mis- placed," according to a pres- idential statement. "The great challenge in rescuing the Chibok girls is the need to ensure that they are rescued alive," he said, insisting his government is "actively pursuing all feasi- ble options" to achieve their safe return. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau put out a new video Sunday in which he repeated demands that the government release de- tained insurgents in ex- change for the girls' free- dom.
