High pressure centered over the Great Lakes will sprawl southward and eastward. Blustery and chilly conditions are in store for New England with snow showers from northern New York state to northern Maine. Spotty showers and thunderstorms will affect central and southern Florida, as well as areas along the Louisiana and Texas coasts. A large pocket of chilly air is forecast to hold and expand over the West. The cold will be accompanied by areas of snow.

America has never faced such a real-life crisis, and although officials say they are confident the defenses would work as advertised, the Pentagon acknowledges potential gaps that North Korea or others might be able to exploit, someday if not immediately. One possible vulnerabil- ity involves a foe's "coun- termeasures," or decoys carried aboard long-range offensive missiles to fool a U.S. interceptor missile into hitting the wrong target. The Pentagon has poured at least $84 billion into mis- sile defense over the past decade and is planning to spend another $3.3 billion over the next five years for a single element of the sys- tem, known as Ground- based Midcourse Defense, or GMD. Its key part is a network of interceptor mis- siles designed to launch from underground silos, fly into the path of an enemy missile as it arcs through space and smash into it, de- stroying it. That system has failed three of its last four inter- cept tests. The only success in that series was the most recent test, in June 2014. A congressional watch- dog agency, the Government Accountability Office, said in February that the Penta- gon "has not demonstrated through flight testing that it can defend the U.S. home- land against the current missile defense threat." Adm. William Gortney, America's homeland de- fender as head of U.S. North- ern Command, told Con- gress this month that the nation needs "more capable forces and broader options." Key improvements are in the works, including a "long- range discrimination" radar formoreeffectivetrackingof incoming missiles. The North Koreans' harsh rhetoric, including a threat in late February to deal "fatal blows at the U.S. mainland any moment," is linked in part to its anger at U.S.-South Korean military exercises, which the North sees as a rehearsal for an in- vasion. No one is predicting a bolt-out-of-the-blue North Korean nuclear attack, but the threat looms larger as theKoreansseeminglystride closer to fielding a nuclear- armedmissilethatcanreach U.S. territory. Already this yeartheyhaveclaimedasuc- cessful H-bomb test, put a satellite into space orbit and claimed a successful sim- ulated test of the warhead re-entry knowhow needed for a missile strike on the United States. On Thursday, the North claimed to have successfully tested a solid- fuel rocket engine which, if true, would mark a signifi- cant further technological advance. The use of solid fuel reduces launch prepa- ration time and thus short- enswarningtimeforU.S.de- fenses. More appears to be in store. State-run media re- ported earlier this month that leader Kim Jong Un ordered preparations for a "nuclear warhead explo- sion test" soon and test-fir- ings of "several kinds of bal- listic rockets able to carry nuclear warheads." POSSIBLE VULNERABILITIES North Korean nuclear threats sp ot li gh t US m is si le d ef en se By John-Thor Dahlburg The Associated Press BRUSSELS As the number of victims in the Brussels suicide attacks rose to 35, Belgian police released a video of a mysterious man in a dark hat seen in the company of the bombers who attacked Brussels Air- port, indicating that he is still at large. "Police are seeking to identify this man," the Bel- gian Federal Police's web- site said Monday. The video's release came as a Belgian magistrate also ruled that a man identified as Faycal C., who was ar- restedduringthepoliceraids that followed the March 22 attacks, could be released. Faycal C. was among those taken into custody and facing preliminary ter- ror charges. Belgian media had claimed the man was the mysterious suspect in the white jacket and dark hat spotted with the two bombers at the airport the morning of the attacks. But the Belgian magis- trate ruled that new evi- dence uncovered by inves- tigatorsrevealedtherewere no grounds to keep Faycal C. incustodyandhewas re- leased, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office said. The Belgian Federal Police's website posted a 32-second video of the still- unidentified suspect as he wheels baggage through the terminal alongside the bombers. Belgian authorities also announced that three more people swept up in police raids that followed the attacks on the airport and on a Brussels subway train were being held on charges of participating in terrorist activities. It was not clear if the suspects ordered held by an investigating judge were linked to the attacks them- selves. The three — identi- fied by Belgian prosecutors as Yassine A., Mohamed B. and Aboubaker O. — were detained during 13 police searches Sunday in Brus- sels and the northern cities of Mechelen and Duffel.
