A few of the downpours along the southern Atlantic Seaboard can be heavy with isolated incidents of flooding. Cooler air will filter from the Great Lakes to the central Appalachians with spotty showers and thunderstorms. Warmth will hold over the lower Mississippi Valley and much of Texas, while surging northward over the lower Plains. Locally severe storms is forecast to ignite from western Texas to the northern Plains.

As Hamid Karzai left the political stage, the new president was locked into an uneasy partnership with his defeated rival, Abdul- lah Abdullah, who became the country's first chief ex- ecutive. With a hug for the cameras, both sides ap- peared determined to reach across factions and avoid a descent into an abyss sim- ilar to what has happened in Iraq, where the govern- ment's failure to mend lin- gering sectarian divisions following a full U.S. with- drawal helped give rise to the brutal Islamic State group. The new Afghan gov- ernment was expected Tuesday to sign a secu- rity agreement that pro- vides a legal framework for the United States to keep about 9,800 troops in the country to train, ad- vise and assist Afghan na- tional security forces after the current international combat mission ends Dec. 31. That number of troops is expected to be cut in half by the end of 2015, and the U.S. would leave only about 1,000 in a security office af- ter the end of 2016. Karzai, the outgoing president, had refused to approve the deal, which is intended to help Afghan se- curity forces combat the re- silient Taliban insurgency. The Afghan government also is expected to sign an agreement this week with NATO that would outline the parameters of 4,000 to 5,000 additional interna- tional troops — mostly from Britain, Germany, Italy and Turkey — to stay in Afghan- istan in a noncombat role after the end of this year. Without a post-2014 re- sidual force, U.S. mili- tary officials say there is a risk that the Afghan secu- rity force will deteriorate, units would run out of fuel, pay systems would fail and there would be a reduction in the overall readiness of the Afghan police and army. They say al-Qaida is in "sur- vival mode" in Afghani- stan, but that if all interna- tional forces left this year, the terrorist network would see it as a victory, regroup and again use the region to plan and conduct opera- tions against the West. But there are serious questions about the abil- ity of the Afghan security forces to take on the mili- tants, even with a residual U.S. force — down from a high of more than 130,000 U.S. and NATO troops in Af- ghanistan several years ago. "Afghanistan doesn't have the full military nec- essary to defend the coun- try," said Mohammad Doud Kalakani, a member of the Afghan parliament. "No air force, no tanks, limited ar- tillery." U.S. House Armed Ser- vices Committee Chair- man Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., said Mon- day that he hoped President Barack Obama will view the signing of the security agreement as a "roadmap for a robust continued en- gagement, and not a path to premature withdrawal." McKeon also wants the administration to rethink its plans to draw down U.S. forces. "We are witness- ing now in Iraq what hap- pens when the U.S. falters on that commitment and adopts a posture inconsis- tent with our security inter- ests," McKeon said. U.S.-Afghan relations will likely improve under Ghani Ahmadzai, a 65-year-old numbers-based technocrat who worked at the World Bank. Karzai, the country's only leader since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion, frequently criticized the U.S. govern- ment and irritated Amer- ican leaders with his mer- curial behavior; Karzai was criticized in turn for his in- ability or unwillingness to tackle corruption in his own government.
