DAVID GREGORY:
Even if it means going over the cliff?
SEN. DICK DURBIN:
I can tell you I don't want to do it, the president doesn't want to do it. But we need to solve the problem. We cannot allow the reckless position to drive this economic into another recession, a recession which the Republicans will own.
SEN. BOB CORKER If we were to pass, for instance, raising the top two rates-- and that's it -- all of a sudden, we do have the leverage of the debt ceiling and we haven't given that up.
BOTH SIDES ARE TRYING TO AVOID AUTOMATIC TAX INCREASES AND SPENDING CUTS SCHEDULED TO KICK IN AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.

Today's Weather Story
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
That calendar might tell us it's December, but it's going to feel like a late spring or early summer week across Southwest Florida with lots of warmth, humidity, and even a good chance for rain.
The big weather maker for us this week is a cold front that's expected to get caught up over Central Florida Tuesday and Wednesday. For Southwest Florida, a southerly wind will bring in lots of warmth and moisture ahead of this front, resulting in lots of cloudiness along with scattered showers and storms.
We'll even see the chance for a few passing showers today, but the best opportunities for rain this week will come Tuesday and Wednesday. The prime locations for rain today will be deep inland and across northern portions of the viewing area near Charlotte and Desoto County.
Aside from a few passing showers and a littler morning fog, today will be a warm and humid day with temperatures returning to the mid 80s during the afternoon. Humidity levels will also be very high, so you'll definitely be able to feel the moisture in the air for the next few days.
Our sky should stay partly sunny through today, and our winds will be a little stronger with gusts reaching 15-20 mph.
By Tuesday morning, enough moisture will flow in from the southwest to produce some showers and heavier downpours. As we progress through the day Tuesday, we'll even see a chance for some stronger thunderstorms as the atmosphere becomes more unstable. We'll need to watch the radar closely Tuesday for some of these storms that may becomes strong enough to produce high winds and heavy rain.
In fact, Tuesday will be a great day to put the NBC 2 Weather app to good use, giving you access to the only LIVE radar in Southwest Florida. If you don't already have this app on your iPhone or Andriod, just search "NBC2 Wx" in the app store. It's a great tool for tracking storms.
In addition to the chance of rain Tuesday, our sky will stay pretty cloudy, and we'll notice a stiff breeze from the south. Even with all the clouds around, temperatures will warm back into the 80s, but probably closer to low 80s instead of the mid 80s.
Wednesday looks to be another day with scattered rain and lots of clouds, but Thursday looks to be much nicer with more sunshine and a drop in humidity.
So once we get past a couple wet days this week, the end of the week into the upcoming weekend will be pretty quiet. Daytimes highs will be close to 80, and overnight lows will cool into the low 60s.
Have a great Monday!

Weather Trends
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
That calendar might tell us it's December, but it's going to feel like a late spring or early summer week across Southwest Florida with lots of warmth, humidity, and even a good chance for rain.
The big weather maker for us this week is a cold front that's expected to get caught up over Central Florida Tuesday and Wednesday. For Southwest Florida, a southerly wind will bring in lots of warmth and moisture ahead of this front, resulting in lots of cloudiness along with scattered showers and storms.
We'll even see the chance for a few passing showers today, but the best opportunities for rain this week will come Tuesday and Wednesday. The prime locations for rain today will be deep inland and across northern portions of the viewing area near Charlotte and Desoto County.
Aside from a few passing showers and a littler morning fog, today will be a warm and humid day with temperatures returning to the mid 80s during the afternoon. Humidity levels will also be very high, so you'll definitely be able to feel the moisture in the air for the next few days.
Our sky should stay partly sunny through today, and our winds will be a little stronger with gusts reaching 15-20 mph.
By Tuesday morning, enough moisture will flow in from the southwest to produce some showers and heavier downpours. As we progress through the day Tuesday, we'll even see a chance for some stronger thunderstorms as the atmosphere becomes more unstable. We'll need to watch the radar closely Tuesday for some of these storms that may becomes strong enough to produce high winds and heavy rain.
In fact, Tuesday will be a great day to put the NBC 2 Weather app to good use, giving you access to the only LIVE radar in Southwest Florida. If you don't already have this app on your iPhone or Andriod, just search "NBC2 Wx" in the app store. It's a great tool for tracking storms.
In addition to the chance of rain Tuesday, our sky will stay pretty cloudy, and we'll notice a stiff breeze from the south. Even with all the clouds around, temperatures will warm back into the 80s, but probably closer to low 80s instead of the mid 80s.
Wednesday looks to be another day with scattered rain and lots of clouds, but Thursday looks to be much nicer with more sunshine and a drop in humidity.
So once we get past a couple wet days this week, the end of the week into the upcoming weekend will be pretty quiet. Daytimes highs will be close to 80, and overnight lows will cool into the low 60s.
Have a great Monday!
