Numerous thunderstorms will move through parts of the Plains and Midwest. Damaging winds and flash flooding are the main threats. Newton will push northward into the Southwestern states to spark heavy rain capable of producing dangerous flash flooding and rockslides in the region. Dry conditions are expected from the central Rockies to the West Coast. A few showers will dot the landscape from the northern Rockies to the northern Plains.

Half a century ago, the United States turned Laos into history's most heavily bombed country, raining down some two million tons ofordnanceinacovert,nine- year chapter of the Vietnam War. Obama the first pres- ident to set foot in Laos whileinoffice,lamentedthat manyAmericansremainun- awareofthe"painfullegacy" left behind by a bombard- ment that claims lives and limbs to this day. "The remnants of war continue to shatter lives here in Laos," Obama said before an audience of stu- dents, businessmen and or- ange-robed Buddhist monks who held up cellphones to snapphotosoftheAmerican president. "Even as we con- tinue to deal with the past, our new partnership is fo- cusedonthefuture,"hesaid. To that end, Obama an- nounced the U.S. would dou- ble its spending on bomb- clearing efforts to $90 mil- lion over three years — a relatively small sum for the U.S. but a significant invest- ment for a small country in one of the poorer corners of the world. Obama plans to put a human face on the is- sue when he meets Wednes- day in Vientiane with survi- vors of bombs that America dropped. The president did not come to apologize. Instead, he called the conflict a re- minder that "whatever the cause, whatever our inten- tions, war inflicts a terrible toll — especially on innocent men, women and children." Thanks to global cleanup efforts, casualties from ten- nis ball-sized "bombies" that still litter the Laotian coun- tryside have plummeted fromhundredstodozensper year. But aid groups say far more help is needed. Of all the provinces in landlocked Laos, only one has a com- prehensive system to care for bomb survivors. "We'reincrediblyproudof the progress the sector has made over the last five years in terms of the decline in ca- sualties and new victims," said Channapha Kham- vongsaofthenonprofitLega- cies of War. "But we are con- cerned about the upwards of 15,000 survivors around the country that are still in need of support." The $90 million to clean upbombsjoinsanother$100 million the U.S. has com- mitted in the past 20 years. The Lao government, mean- while, says it will boost ef- forts to recover remains and accountforAmericansmiss- ing since the war. The punishing air cam- paign on Laos was an ef- fort to cut off communist forces in neighboring Viet- nam. American warplanes dropped more explosives on this Southeast Asian nation than on Germany and Ja- pan combined in World War II, a stunning statistic that Obamanotedduringhisfirst day in Vientiane. Obama was one of sev- eral world leaders visiting Laos to attend the Associ- ation of Southeast Asian Nations. Taking its turn as chair of the regional forum, Laos' communist govern- ment is seizing a rare mo- ment in the spotlight. For Obama, the visit serves as a capstone to his yearslongefforttobolsterre- lationswithSoutheastAsian countrieslong overlookedby the United States. The out- reach is a core element of his attempt to shift U.S. diplo- maticandmilitaryresources away from the Middle East and into Asia in order to counter China in the region andensure aU.S. foothold in growing markets. YetObama'soutreachtook an uncomfortable turn just as he headed to Laos from another summit in China. The White House called off a scheduled meeting Tues- day with President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippine — a U.S. treaty ally — after the brash new leader referred to Obama as a "son of a bitch." Duterte, who had been expecting Obama to criti- cize his deadly, extrajudicial crackdown on drug dealers, later said he regretted the personal attack on the pres- ident. Obama filled the hole in his schedule by meeting withSouthKoreanPresident ParkGeun-hyeinadisplayof unity a day after North Ko- rea fired three ballistic mis- siles. Obama vowed to work with the United Nations to tighten sanctions against Pyongyang,butsaidthedoor wasn'tclosedtoamorefunc- tional relationship.
