The steadiest and heaviest rain and wind will shift to northern New England at midweek. Spotty show- ers are in the offing for parts of the Ohio Valley and southern Appalachians. A swath of localized downpours is forecast from southeastern New Mexico to South Florida. A disturbance over southeastern Mexico will bear watching for tropi- cal development this week. The balance of the Southeast and Plains will be dry and sunny.

The remarks by Mevlut Cavusoglu at a news confer- ence in Ankara followed the announcement by the U.S. military that it had for the first time airdropped weap- ons, ammunition and med- ical supplies to the Kurdish forces in Kobani, along the Syrian-Turkish border. Sunday's airdrops fol- lowed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani. There was no immediate confirmation by Kurdish officials of the air- drop or what kind of weap- ons it included. Airdropscontroversial The airdrops are almost certain to anger the Turk- ish government, which has said it would oppose any U.S. arms transfers to the Kurdish rebels in Syria. Turkey views the main Kurdish group in Syria as an extension of the Turkish Kurd group known as the PKK, which has waged a 30-year insurgency in Tur- key and is designated a ter- ror group by the U.S. and by NATO. But the U.S. military's announcement of the air- drops, coupled with the Turkish foreign minister's statements, is an unex- pected development. It suggests Turkey may be softening its stance on the issue of helping the Syrian Kurds. However, Cavusoglu did not elaborate and it was not immediately clear whether Turkey was actually allow- ing Kurdish fighters across the border into Syria, after blocking them for so long. "Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government announced that they are in coopera- tion with Turkey and the U.S.," Cavusoglu said. "Ac- tually, we are helping pesh- merga forces to enter into Kobani to give support," he added. He spoke at a joint news conference with Tu- nisian Foreign Minister Mongi Hamdi. President Barack Obama called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday to discuss the sit- uation in Syria and notify him of the plan to make air- drops on Sunday, one U.S. administration official told reporters. He would not de- scribe Erdogan's reaction but said U.S. officials are clear about Turkey's opposi- tion to any moves that help Kurdish forces, whom Tur- key views as an enemy. In a statement Sunday night, the U.S. Central Com- mand said U.S. C-130 cargo planes made multiple drops of arms and supplies pro- vided by Kurdish authori- ties in Iraq. It said they were intended to enable contin- ued resistance to Islamic State group's efforts to take full control of Kobani. The U.S. said earlier Sun- day that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the Kobani area. Activists said the U.S.-led coalition launched five new airstrikes shortly before the overnight airdrops of weapons, activ- ists said Monday. Weapons reach rebels According to the Brit- ain-based Syrian Obser- vatory for Human Rights, the "large amount of weap- ons and ammunition" air- dropped by U.S. planes has reached the main Kurdish militia in Kobani. The Kurdish fighters in Kobani have been picking up and moving the weapons since they were airdropped around dawn, said the Ob- servatory, which has a net- work of activists on the ground in Syria. In recent days, much of the coalition strikes have focused around Kobani, which Islamic State group militants have been trying to seize since mid-Septem- ber. Turkey has so far pro- vided sanctuary to an es- timated 200,000 Syrians fleeing from Kobani and dozens of nearby villages that were captured by the IS group.
