Rain showers will affect areas from the lower Great Lakes to northern New England. Only very spotty showers are in store farther south to the mid-Atlantic coast. Snow showers are most likely over the Upper Great Lakes, but a few snowflakes can fall over the central Appalachians. Thunderstorms are in the offing for South Florida, courtesy of a stalled front. Much of the balance of the Eastern and Central states can expect a dry and sunny day.

No matter how they exited — a loss, a resignation, a retire- ment — former members of Congress can pretty much do whatever they want with leftover campaign cash as long as it's political or char- itable. Evan Bayh has kept $10 million in campaign con- tributions since leaving the Senate in 2011, raising questions about the Indiana Democrat's political future or maybe his children's. Mary Landrieu has more than $146,000 since her Senate loss last year and the Louisiana Democrat is talking about giving some of it to former Republican colleagues, much to the cha- grin of Democrats. Mark Foley, the Florida Republican who resigned in disgrace in 2006 after the revelation that he had sent sexually suggestive elec- tronic messages to former male pages, is holding onto $1 million — and hoping for a political miracle. In an age of furious fun- draising, dozens of former senators and House mem- bers are sitting on tens of millions of dollars in un- spent campaign money. They can't use it for per- sonal expenses, but they can hold onto it indefi- nitely, donate it to political causes or give it to charity, as former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman did when he gave $815,000 to a college scholarship program. Up until the 1970s, the one restriction placed on leftover campaign money was that it had to be spent on "lawful purposes," in- cluding just keeping it for personal use, said Bill Can- field, a Washington-based lawyer who is an expert in campaign finance. "It was like a savings ac- count — once you retired you could take it home," Canfield said. About 35 years ago, the Senate and House revised their rules to allow the left- over money to be used only for charitable and politi- cal purposes. The Associ- ated Press examined cam- paign finance reports filed through the first half of 2015. New reports are due this week. Of his $10 million, Bayh has given away $53,700 in the past 2 years, almost entirely to Democratic can- didates. That has stirred speculation of another po- litical run, though Bayh has ruled out running for Indi- ana governor or an open Senate seat next year. Dan Parker, who served two terms as state Demo- cratic Party chair at Bayh's request, said the former lawmaker might consider a future race. "He is still young and does not know what the fu- ture may hold," Parker said of the 59-year-old Bayh. But Ann DeLaney, who managed one of Bayh's gu- bernatorial campaigns and was the state Democratic Party chairman when he served as governor, sug- gests Bayh might be sav- ing his money to create an instant campaign account if one of his children runs for office someday. Bayh is the son of former Sen. Birch Bayh. DeLaney acknowledges that many Indiana Dem- ocrats are frustrated that he's sitting on millions. "It's been a bone of con- tention here among Demo- crats who view it more as money for Democratic can- didates rather than a per- sonal treasure chest," DeL- aney said. "You hear com- plaints about it regularly, but that's what the law al- lows." Former Massachusetts Rep. Marty Meehan left of- fice in 2007 and is now the University of Massachusetts president. He still has $4.4 million in a campaign ac- count, though he's given away nearly $1.3 million, much of it to Democratic candidates and organiza- tions, but with a good mix of charitable contributions with a focus on education, hospitals and medical re- search. In Foley's case, he has given away about $360,000 since 2010, when he began re-emerging publicly. The amount is roughly what his $1.2 million has earned through investments. He's given most of it to local po- litical candidates in Palm Beach County and chari- ties representing issues re- lated to him and his family — substance abuse, cancer and gay rights and support groups.
