High humidity and a disturbance will yield locally drenching showers and thunderstorms from Florida to Alabama, northeastward to Penn- sylvania, New York, New Jersey and southern New England. However, the storms in much of the mid- Atlantic will tend to be widely separated. As a cool front slices into hot and humid air over the Upper Midwest, strong to locally severe thunderstorms will extend from the central Plains to the central Great Lakes.

Calmer winds and cooler temper- atures were allowing fire- fighters to go on the offen- sive Monday against a de- structive wildfire that has charred hundreds of square miles of terrain in Washing- ton State. The Carlton Complex of fires in north-central Washington had burned about 379 square miles, fire spokesman Andrew Sanbri said Monday. "There is optimism in the air, but we don't want to give the impression that all is good," Sanbri said. "Things are improving." The fire was just 2 per- cent contained Monday. Firefighters planned to aggressively protect some houses near Libby Creek on Monday, by keeping the flames from jump- ing the waterway, Sanbri said. Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers es- timates that 150 homes have been destroyed al- ready, but suspects that number could be higher. The fire is being blamed for one death. Firefighters on Monday had also planned to burn some fuel on the north side of the fire to help build a fire line, but that operation was canceled, fire spokesman Don Car- penter said. Firefighters were also hampered by the loss of electricity in the area, thanks to downed power lines and poles, which hurt communications. There was no estimate on when utili- ties would be restored. The forecast for Mon- day and Tuesday called for lighter winds and lower temperatures, said Spokane-based National Weather Service meteorol- ogist Greg Koch. Then on Wednesday a "vigorous" front is ex- pected to cover Washing- ton, bringing rain to much of the state. But it will also bring lightning, he added. WEST Betterweathertoaidin Washington wildfire fight By Nedra Pickler The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Monday ordered employment pro- tection for gay and trans- gender employees working for the federal government and for companies hold- ing federal contracts, tell- ing advocates he embraced the "irrefutable rightness of your cause." "America's federal con- tracts should not subsidize discrimination against the American people," Obama declared at a White House signing ceremony. CallingonCongress Obama said it was un- acceptable that being gay is still a firing offense in many places in the United States, and he called on Congress to extend the ban to all employers. But legis- lation that would extend the ban has become em- broiled in a dispute over whether religious groups should get exemptions. The president had long resisted pressure to pursue an executive anti-discrimi- nation order covering fed- eral contractors in the hope that Congress would take more sweeping action. The Senate passed legis- lation last year with some Republican support, but it has not been considered by the GOP-controlled House. Now, said Obama, "It's time to address this injustice for every American." Mia Macy of Portland, Oregon, watched Obama's announcement in tears as an invited guest in the East Room. The military vet- eran and former Phoenix police detective applied to be a ballistics expert with the Bureau of Alcohol, To- bacco and Firearms as a male but was rejected af- ter she changed her name and began identifying as a woman. She filed a suc- cessful complaint with the Equal Employment Oppor- tunity Commission and set- tled a discrimination law- suit against the govern- ment last year. "Having a president ac- knowledge us for the first time in history as citizens instead of second-class cit- izens is just monumental," Macy said in a telephone interview. She said Obama personally thanked her for her pioneering role in a private meeting before the ceremony. Opposing pressure Obama had faced pres- sure from opposing flanks over whether he would in- clude an exemption in the executive action for reli- gious organizations. He decided to maintain a pro- vision that allows religious groups with federal con- tracts to hire and fire based upon religious identity, but he did not grant any excep- tion to consider sexual ori- entation or gender identity. Churches also are able to hire ministers as they see fit under the First Amend- ment's protection of reli- gious freedom. Objecting to his order, the Family Research Coun- cil said Obama's action would expose contractors who have moral objections to homosexual behavior to lawsuits and jeopardize their contracts. "People with deeply held convictions regarding the morality of certain types of sexual behavior should not be bound by the dic- tates of President Obama's agenda," said Peter Sprigg, the council's senior fellow for policy studies. Obama's action came on the heels of the U.S. Su- preme Court's recent ruling in the Hobby Lobby case that allowed some closely held private businesses to opt out of the federal health care law's requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge. Obama advis- ers said that ruling has no impact on non-discrimina- tion policies in federal hir- ing and contracting. Obama said 18 states and more than 200 local governments already ban employment discrimina- tion based on sexual ori- entation, as well as a ma- jority of Fortune 500 com- panies. But he noted that more states allow same-sex marriage than prohibit gay discrimination in hiring.
