the real threat after this morning's first round across the southeast, a real threat really begins to ramp up late this afternoon and really focus this evening across the center of the country here you can see that main line squeezing in through the overnight hours this is where we have the best chance for tornadoes again, across that center portion of the country. and we're talking pretty large tornadoes, possibly ef2 or even stronger that line then continues to slide off to the east as we go into the day sunday and then you see a lot more of those storms ramp back up sunday afternoon and will continue into the evening hours if that's not enough, even if you are one of those folks looks lucky enough not to have to deal with showers and thunderstorms. the other concern, especially across the southern tier, is going to beat the heat. take a look at this. it's not just the temperatures, but also that humidity mixed in. so that feels like temperature out there. look at this 100 and brownsville again on monday a lot of these places, it's going to be multiple days. you really don't start to see that temperature coming back down until tuesday at least, but it's those fields like laredo, texas going to feel like one 16

but it's expected to be one for the books with as many as what, 25 possible named storms expected why? yeah. so that's the big question. first off, you say yet, but we're only one week away from this start of hurricanes season. it begins officially one week from today. and yes, when you take a look at all of the entities that make those forecasts, look at these numbers now in an average year, we would typically see 14 named storms, seven of those would be hurricanes and three of them would be major hurricanes. but if you look at these entities, noa, colorado sit in the uk met office, all of them are calling for above average numbers quite significantly above what we would normally see. and all of them are beyond the number 21. and the reason why 21 is important is because that's the number of names on the list. now you may be saying, okay, but there's 26 letters in the alphabet that doesn't make sense. we don't use all of the letters you'll notice here that the letter q, u, x, y, and z are not being used. so there's only 21 names for this year's atlantic hurricane season. but based off those

forecasts, we could have more than 21. so what do we do then because the world and your logical organization in 2021 decided we're no longer going to use the greek alphabet as a backup list. so we now have this supplemental list of names that we will go through if we do run out. now, one thing the hurricane center is already watching is this particular area of invest right here, just off the coast of the dominican republic. now, it's moving into very unfavorable conditions. so this is not likely to become a named storm, but it's not out of the question for storms to get named even before the season actually starts. in fact, take a look at this from 2015 all the way through 2021, we had a name storm prior to june 1st. and looking back at 20:22 and 2023, we had one just those first couple of days, june 1st and june 2, keep in mind though, that the average first date for a named storm is not actually until june 20. so the last nine years in a row, we

have had a name storm. well, before when we normally would see one. the second name storm doesn't happen until mid july and then we don't usually get our first hurricane until we get to august. but all things this particular season 0.2, maybe a little bit of a different story in one key component, fixture and amro could end up being some of those incredibly warm sea surface temperature all right. >> allison chinchar. thank you very much. and hyperactive. confirmed one word, matthew, with us now, matthew, good to see you. so let's start here 17 to 25 named storms, eight to 13 hurricanes, four to seven major category three or stronger, explain more the conditions that ach creating this environment for potentially as hyperactive season yeah, so we're looking at record warm sea surface temperatures and land tick, and developing in london, you in the pacific. >> and that can explain a ton of the variance and why we have such a strong signal this year.

>> let's put up some of the rainfall totals for parts of the gulf coast because they've already had a really wet spring. what does this mean for those areas that are already saturated it means that need to be prepared for flooding coming up and be ready to evacuate. >> if called you by the local authorities how concerned should people be for this season? they should be ready ready.gov slash hurricanes has their information where they can go to go through checklists, repair. >> we can get through the busy hurricane season. >> we've done it before. >> what's ready look like now, we've got a week out. and as alison said typically the height of the busy he is part of hurricane season is mid to late september what should people be doing now considering those storms could come far sooner than that they should get ready.gov. >> again, they have a great checklist, but includes things now like reviewing your insurance plan updating your

supplies. so getting some extra batteries and so shelf-stable foods, those are things you can really do. now rather than at the height of the storm, there's a big brush for materials. >> all right. matthew rosencrantz. thank you. you so much your research suggests the world's widest glacier could be more vulnerable to melting than previously thought. >> now, scientists used radar data from space to x-ray, antarctica's thwaites glacier. now it's about the size of florida and it's is the continents most unstable river of ice. they found that ocean water flowing kilometers, but he it is causing vigorous melting. >> that could mean global sea level rise projections are being underestimated scientists say the complete collapse of the so-called doomsday glacier could lead to a catastrophic global sea level rise of around three meters that is

frightening to think about. well, congress is quiet next week, but when lawmakers return, they have a long to-do list included in getting a bipartisan border bill across the finish line. we are going in-depth straight ahead on cnn this morning cnn saturday morning starting today and eight on cnn you know what's brilliant think about it. >> boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. >> what straps mold to a rocket and hurdles and into space or boring ics vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start off because it's smart, dependable, and steady. all words you want from your bank for nearly 160 years, pnc bank has been brilliantly boring. >> so you can be happily to fill i'm just pretty and boring if you think about it make your first move with battery power, made by steel

plan to use the border chaos as a centerpiece of his campaign against joe biden, even though they got pretty much a lot, what they asked for in that bill when it was a part of sunbelt joining me now is michael schnell, a congressional reporter for the hill. >> my goal. good morning. good to see you. okay. so what chuck schumer's intent behind putting this bill to a vote when he knew that the democrats were not exactly united over this. and also, there was no ukraine aid tied to it, like the last time. and this is why they supported the bill. i mean, was this purely a political move yeah, this was essentially seen as a political gambit. >> look, amara, we're at the point of the year where there's no more must pass legislation on the to-do list until about the fall and the elections right around the corner. >> so liters both chambers of congress are using the floor time to their advantage to put these messaging bills on the floor to give their members ammunition to go home and campaign and tell their voters why they think they deserve a

few more years here in washington. so essentially this gambit by chuck schumer was his thought to say that, hey, this could potentially give democrats an opportunity to flip the switch on. republicans, give them something to message on saying, hey, to their constituents, hey, we tried to do something on the southern bore on the situation on the southern border. but republicans once again stopped us. that was one thing. and then b, it also gave him an opportunity to let his vulnerable senate democrats, people like jon tester, cast a vote on the record. very publicly. in favor of cracking down on the situation at the southern border. so look from the beginning, chuck schumer was very well aware that this was not going to get over the finish line. james lankford at the republican negotiator, who worked tirelessly on this bipartisan border deal said early on that he was not going to be supportive of it this time around. >> so this was doomed to fail. >> but again, as you mentioned at the top, this was just really a political gambit chuck schumer trying to give his members something that campaign on as they go home. okay. so then what happens next? because clearly in the summer there is as expected surge of immigrants trying to come to the country

between the mexico, us border is will there be another attempt to pass a bill or hill they turn to executive action from biden well it's sort of two-pronged because the white house has been floating, that there could be some executive action on the border in the near future. >> so that's one part of it. but be just expect to hear more campaigning and more talk about the situation at the southern border. >> we could see some legislation will definitely see that that particularly in the house where speaker mike johnson and top house republicans have made the border a key priority of their conference, but also just generally speaking, in terms of messaging, especially on the senate, sayyed, expect to hear a lot about this second border vote. >> look, even though it came up very quickly and it failed very quickly, it's still gave though senate democrats, as i mentioned, that messaging ammunition to go home to their districts and tell their constituents, we tried to do something on the border. we were stopped by it. but look, here's my vote. i tried to do it, so expect a lot of more

talk about that second boat, even though it was failed democrats think it could be potent on the campaign trail, okay, and speaking of playing politics, as you know? house speaker mike johnson announced that israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, will be addressing a joint session of congress. obviously this has been facing some backlash from many democrats. and as we know, chuck schumer, i mean, he was out there in march, i believe, just harshly criticizing netanyahu, calling for early elections how is this going to play out? because it's an interesting time politically to invite netanyahu yes to put. it lightly, it's an interesting time for a lot of different folks. i will note though, the invitation for netanyahu hasn't been left, washington yet, right? speaker mike johnson weeks ago, drafted an invite letter to netanyahu, having him come to congress to deliver an address to a joint, a joint session of congress that he he hasn't even gotten to netanyahu yet because chuck

schumer has not yet signed that letter. that's what the waiting game is right now. chuck schumer has said that he plans to sign the letter. his office has said that he intends to sign the letter just this week. he said that he is supportive of having netanyahu come to congress. he's just talking to speaker johnson about timing gear, but of course it could put them in a precarious position because you will remember just a few weeks ago. chuck schumer had this high profile speech on the senate floor where he called for new elections in israel, argued that netanyahu had, lost his way. so he has said that the us, israel relationship is ironclad and it will last past any leader or any route government. so he is expected to sign it. but again, already some progressive raising raising raising, hey, with the idea of netanyahu coming some of them actually threatened to boycott. >> all right, michael schnell, good to have you. thanks so much. >> russian state tv's newest star because if familiar face here in the us, how the kremlin
