Cool, dry air will hold in northern New England, while rain expands over the mid-Atlantic region. Showers and spotty thunderstorms are forecast to extend along a cool front from the central Great Lakes to the central and western Gulf Coast. Heavy snow over parts of the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest will become intermittent as a storm system nearby begins to weaken and drift toward northwestern Ontario. The southern Plains will be dry.

Moments after he left, hundreds of Muslims who had essentially been barri- caded inside by the armed Christian militias that stood guard around the pe- rimeter burst into what had been a no-man's land only a day earlier. Some jubilant residents emboldened by the high security in the area even followed the pope into the city's center shouting "the war is over," a hopeful sign that this religiously di- vided capital could poten- tially reunite. The visit was a bold move by the pope, who traveled into the most volatile part of Bangui in his open-air ve- hicle, underscoring the mes- sage of his visit here — faith over fear. He was not with- out heavy security though, including armed peace- keepers standing guard in the central mosque's mina- rets high above the crowds. Francis had insisted on coming to the PK5 neigh- borhood to appeal for peace in a country where two years of Christian-Muslim violence has forced nearly 1 million people to flee their homes, including thousands who have been living in a camp at the airport amid the wreckage of retired planes. The once vibrant markets of PK5 have now been largely shuttered and many of the Muslim-owned businesses stand in ruins. About 200 men seated inside the Central Mosque welcomed Francis, who sat on a sofa. In comments to the chief imam, Francis in- sisted that Muslims and Christians are brothers and must behave as such. "Christians and Muslims and members of traditional religions have lived peace- fully for many years," he said. "Together, we say no to hatred, to vengeance and vi- olence, especially that com- mitted in the name of a re- ligion or God." The chief imam at the mosque, Tidiani Moussa Naibi, thanked Francis for his visit, which he said was "a symbol which we all un- derstand." And he urged the inter- national community to not write the country off the books as doomed to a cy- cle of violence, saying the current conflict was a mo- ment in time — "a painful moment, a regretable mo- ment, but just a moment." Pope Francis removed his shoes, bowed his head and stood silently at the mihrab, or area of the mosque that faces the holy Muslim city of Mecca. The pope's visit to the mosque marked the high- light of his three-nation African tour, with previous stops in Kenya and Uganda. Central African Repub- lic descended into conflict in 2013 when Muslim reb- els overthrew the Christian president. That ushered in a brutal reign. When the rebel leader left power the following year, a swift and horrific backlash against Muslim civilians ensued. Throughout the early months of 2014, mobs at- tacked Muslims in the streets, even decapitating and dismembering them and setting their corpses ablaze. Tens of thousands of Muslim civilians fled to neighboring Chad and Cameroon. Today, the cap- ital that once had 122,000 Muslims has only around 15,000, according to Hu- man Rights Watch. Before the fighting drove away many Muslims, Cen- tral African Republic was 37 percent Catholic and about 15 percent Muslim, with traditional faiths and Protestants making up the rest, Vatican figures show. While the two opposing militias are identified by their religious affiliation, Muslim and Catholic lead- ers disavow the perpetra- tors of violence. The conflict did not be- gin over religious ideology but rather found its roots in a bid for political power. Muslim rebels from a num- ber of groups in the north united in a bid to oust the president of a decade, citing grievances he had failed to follow through on prom- ises and had neglected their part of the country.
