Storms deliver rain across West Texas with hail reports
A line of thunderstorms stretching from Lubbock to Monahans dropped rain and nickel sized hail across the Permian Basin. Meteorologist Eddie Brite said some areas near Wink and Kermit may have seen up to 2 inches of rain per hour as storms moved east at 15 mph. Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for Winkler and southeastern Ector Counties with radar estimating Odessa received 0.2 to 0.5 inches. The forecast calls for a 40 percent rain chance today and cooler, mostly cloudy conditions through Tuesday.

Remains of Cole victims arrive at Dover AFB
Five sailors killed in the USS Cole attack arrived in the United States Saturday. Their caskets were blessed by a base chaplain and carried from a C-17 by pallbearers to waiting hearses, with honor guard present. The plane had departed Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Dover, home of the military's largest mortuary, where remains would be prepared for families. The Navy's personnel chief and Delaware Governor were among those awaiting further arrangements.
