After a frigid start, temperatures are forecast to rebound to near seasonable levels in many areas. A batch of rain will drift northeastward across the central and southern Plains with a bit of snow over the Upper Midwest. Much of the West will be unsettled in comparison to much of the East as storms spurred on by El Nino bring areas of heavy rain and mountain snow.

Speaking in the East Room at the White House Tuesday, Obama defended his executive actions to tighten criminal back- ground checks. The presi- dent was moved to tears in an unusually emotional dis- play during his announce- ment, saying "it gets me mad" every time he thinks about the 20 first-graders who were killed in the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school in De- cember 2012. While Republicans and Democrats are deeply di- vided on the issue, both parties see Obama's actions as an opportunity to gener- ate enthusiasm among pri- mary voters. But in a general elec- tion, the gun debate be- comes a blurrier political proposition. Public opin- ion polls show Americans overwhelmingly support expanding background checks for gun purchases, but are more divided on the broader question of stricter gun laws. The gun-control advocacy movement has gained wealthy backers, in- cluding former New York City Mayor Michael Bloom- berg, but the National Rifle Association remains one of the most dominant forces in American politics. "It's an issue that both (sides) are really going to want to talk about for the next couple of months, but I don't know how much they're going to want to talk about it in the fall," Matthew Dowd, a former political adviser to Presi- dent George W. Bush, said of the eventual presidential nominees. For now, Obama's gun ac- tions are a central topic as candidates crisscross Iowa, New Hampshire and other early voting states. GOP contenders promise thatiftheygetelected,they'll swiftly repeal Obama's ac- tions, which include steps to expand background checks for gun purchases. GOP front-runner Donald Trump vowed to "un-sign" the pres- ident's measures. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said that on his first day in the Oval Office, "those orders are gone." Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said that while Obama may currently hold the power of the pen, "my pen has got an eraser." Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the president is acting unlawfully and showing disregard for the Second Amendment with his actions on gun control. Bush addressed Obama's plan in an op-ed in Iowa's Cedar Rapids Gazette. In it, he compared the gun ac- tions to Obama's executive action on immigration, say- ing Obama is flouting the proper constitutional pro- cess for lawmaking. On the Democratic side, front-runner Hillary Clin- ton has unveiled her own proposals for gun-control executive actions and en- thusiastically endorsed Obama's measures even be- fore the president's official announcement. In a Twitter post Tuesday, Clinton thanked Obama "for taking a crucial step forward on gun violence. Our next president has to build on that progress_not rip it away," she wrote. The cornerstone of Obama's executive actions is a background check re- quirement for guns pur- chased from dealers even if they're bought online or at gun shows. The new fed- eral guidance aims to nar- row the so-called gun show loophole that allows some purchases to occur without a background check. In announcing the ac- tions in the early days of 2016, Obama is purposely thrusting the issue into the center of the presiden- tial campaign. As he fore- shadowed his executive or- ders last fall, Obama said addressing gun violence is "something we should po- liticize." The emphasis on gun is- sues marks a shift for Dem- ocrats, who have shied away from the subject in recent presidential elections, not only because of the NRA, but also due to compet- ing views within the party. Clinton and Obama both treaded carefully on guns when they faced off in the 2008 Democratic primary, and the president didn't at- tempt to pass congressional legislation until the shoot- ing of elementary school students in Newtown, Con- necticut, which occurred about a month after his 2012 re-election. Democratic losses throughout the South, however, have narrowed the number of elected offi- cials in the party who op- pose gun restrictions. Gun- control backers also point to shifts in public opinion and the rise of well-funded advocacy groups as reasons Democratic candidates can campaign on the topic with fewer electoral risks.
