The core of cool air from the Midwest will sink southward to the Southeast behind the front. However, the front will still linger off the Carolina coast and through Florida, producing a few showers and thunderstorms. Otherwise, the Deep South will be cooler with sun. The Great Lakes into western parts of the Northeast will remain unsettled with a few spotty showers and thunderstorms. Storms will spill from the Rockies into the Plains and northern and eastern Texas.

"Mom, hang in there," ex- claimed a weeping woman who was fleeing Shakhtarsk with her mother. Associated Press reporters saw a high- rise apartment block in the town being hit by at least two rounds of artillery. The fighting there and elsewhere in the area kept Dutch and Australian po- lice for the second day from reaching the site of the plane crash, where they had planned to begin searching for remaining bodies and gathering forensic evidence. The delay strained tem- pers among international observers. "There is a job to be done," said Alexander Hug, the deputy head of a mon- itoring team from the Or- ganization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. "We are sick and tired of being interrupted by gun- fights, despite the fact that we have agreed that there should be a ceasefire." The plane crashed July 17 while flying over a part of eastern Ukraine where government forces and pro- Russia separatist rebels have been fighting for months. Ukrainian and Western of- ficials say the plane was shot down by a rebel mis- sile, most likely by mistake, and that Russia supplied the weapon or trained rebels to use it. Both the rebels and Moscow deny that. A Ukrainian official said Monday that data from the recovered flight recorders show that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed due to a massive, explosive loss of pressure after being punc- tured multiple times by shrapnel. Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for Ukraine's national security coun- cil, said the plane suffered "massive explosive decom- pression" after it was hit by fragments he said came from a missile. There were signs that government forces were gaining some ground in their fight with the rebels. Ukraine's Defense Min- istry said Ukrainian troops entered Shakhtarsk, al- though checkpoints block- ing the western entrance into town remain under rebel control. It also said fighting was taking place in Snizhne, which lies directly south of the crash site, and in other towns in the east. Meanwhile rebels in Do- netsk said on Twitter that fighting took place in the village of Rozsypne, where some of the wreckage still lays strewn and uncol- lected. EASTERN EUROPE FightinginUkraine prompts residents to flee By Krista Larson The Associated Press DAKAR, SENEGAL No one knows for sure just how many people Patrick Saw- yer came into contact with the day he boarded a flight in Liberia, had a stopover in Ghana, changed planes in Togo, and then arrived in Nigeria, where authorities say he died days later from Ebola, one of the deadliest diseases known to man. Now health workers are scrambling to trace those who may have been ex- posed to Sawyer across West Africa, including flight attendants and fel- low passengers. Health experts say it is unlikely he could have in- fected others with the vi- rus that can cause victims to bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears. Still, un- settling questions remain: How could a man whose sister recently died from Ebola manage to board a plane leaving the coun- try? And worse: Could Eb- ola become the latest dis- ease to be spread by inter- national air travel? Sawyer's death on Friday has led to tighter screen- ing of airline passengers in West Africa, where an unprecedented outbreak that emerged in March has killed more than 670 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. But some health authorities ex- pressed little confidence in such precautions. "The best thing would be if people did not travel when they were sick, but the problem is people won't say when they're sick. They will lie in order to travel, so it is doubtful travel rec- ommendations would have a big impact," said Dr. Da- vid Heymann, professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "The important thing is for countries to be pre- pared when they get pa- tients infected with Ebola, that they are isolated, fam- ily members are told what to do and health workers take the right steps." The World Health Orga- nization is awaiting labo- ratory confirmation after Nigerian health author- ities said Sawyer tested positive for Ebola, WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said. The WHO has not recommended any travel restrictions since the out- break came to light. "We would have to con- sider any travel recommen- dations very carefully, but the best way to stop this outbreak is to put the nec- essary measures in place at the source of infection," Hartl said. Closing borders "might help, but it won't be exhaustive or foolproof." The risk of travelers contracting Ebola is con- sidered low because it re- quires direct contact with bodily fluids or secretions such as urine, blood, sweat or saliva, experts say. Eb- ola can't be spread like flu through casual contact or breathing in the same air. Patients are contagious only once the disease has progressed to the point they show symptoms, according to the WHO. And the most vulnerable are health care workers and relatives who come in much closer con- tact with the sick. Still, witnesses say Saw- yer, a 40-year-old Finance Ministry employee en route to a conference in Nigeria, was vomiting and had di- arrhea aboard at least one of his flights with some 50 other passengers aboard. Ebola can be contracted from traces of feces or vomit, experts say. Sawyer was immediately quarantined upon arrival in Lagos — a city of 21 mil- lion people — and Nigerian authorities say his fellow travelers were advised of Ebola's symptoms and then were allowed to leave. The incubation period can be as long as 21 days, meaning anyone infected may not fall ill for several weeks.
