Cloudy skies will blanket Happy Valley
today as a week storm system pushes eastward. Expect a
threat of showers late in the day and continuing
overnight. Thursday looks to be the best day of the week
with ample sunshine and mild temperatures. Toward
week’s end another weak low pressure area will
provide a risk of showers Friday and Saturday. Unusually

Highlight
Menacing winds and heavy snow forced al-Qaida holdouts to retreat into mountainous caves of eastern Afghanistan over the weekend. According to Bryan Hilferty of the 10th Mountain Division: “They’re hunkered down...and it’s hard to see where they are”. Despite adverse weather conditions, the U.S. military offensive continues to move forward with clearing out of caves and land mines.
