temperatures. it is perfect to stay inside on january 13th, 2024. this is "today." coast to coast. from california to maine feeling the impact of the storm rolling across the country. windchills well below zero in some places and more than a foot of snow in the midwest and heavy rain leading to rising rivers in the east. angie is tracking it all. weekend warriors. the republican candidates battling the elements to meet voters in iowa with just two days to go until the crucial first in the nation caucus there. with former president trump the frontrunner, how will nikki haley and ron desantis make the case for number two? and striking back. the u.s. launching missile strikes against houthi rebels in it yemen. the houthis vowing retaliation

from here. and a trooper jumps into action to save an 8-year-old girl who fell into an icy pond. the harrowing rescue with a happy ending. all that and frozen football. super wild card weekend with the chiefs and dolphins in what could be one of the coldest games in nfl history. in buffalo, the bills and steelers could be playing in more than a foot of snow tomorrow. that's just the tip of the iceberg on the road to the super bowl. today, saturday january 13th, 2024. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with peter alexander and laura jarrett. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today." thank you for joining us on this saturday morning.

it's so cold outside and there is nothing to do. are you telling me i have to watch football this weekend? is that what you're telling me? >> it is not a bad idea. in kansas city tonight on peacocks, you have the dolphins playing the chiefs. the dolphins go on the road and that will cost them 100 degrees. instead of 70 in miami, it is minus 24 windchill when this

spokane at 23 below zero. >> this wild storm is where we begin this morning with angie's forecast in a minute. let's start with nbc's jesse kirsch in a very cold and snowy grand rapids, michigan. jesse, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura and peter. definitely snowy here and frankly picturesque here on saturday morning. this kind of snowfall we're seeing across the great lakes region. unfortunately, these conditions proving to be dangerous and at times deadly already. according to officials in wisconsin, a 69-year-old man had been snow blowing his driveway and found unresponsive and pronounced dead. take a look at the conditions

across the region. omaha, nebraska is a whiteout there. they recorded around a foot of snow already. driving conditions are definitely tough. be careful if you are heading out on the roads. if you have a flight to catch this weekend, you might want to look for alternate arrangements. at chicago's busy o'hare, more than 800 cancellations. they are already recording more than 150 more cancellations for today. take a look at that. flight aware misery map here is not just the midwest, but northeast with boston and new york with flight issues because the storm system iscountry. it is not just the snow, but impacts of wind and rain.

in grand rapids, the snow is blowing around. we have plows out here big and small. we will keep holding on. >> jesse kirsch, thank you. go get warm. let's check in with nbc meteorologist angie lassman right now. angie, walk us through the map. this is dangerous for a lot of folks. >> it is a couple of days of the heavy snow in where you see jesse. we have snow up to a foot when this is all said and done. we have rain acrossed northeast. it has been storm after storm after storm. the flooding concerns remain. the rain will clear out of the northeast, but notice downwind of the lakes, the snow machine is going through saturday and into sunday. it will be another couple of days where we have the lingering lake-effect snow bands and intense at that. we pick up, like i mentioned, 8

to 10 inches east of the lake. watertown and buffalo and erie and u.p. of michigan with significant snowfall. we still have the wind alerts in effects for spots. 85 million people under those this morning. winter alerts are 61 million. the flood alerts with the windy conditions and that is making it so much worse with the cold air that has filtered in for a lot of folks across the northern rockies and stretching into the plains and moving east. 76 million people are under the cold air alerts. rapid city right now is feeling like minus 49. we have minus 15 in kansas city. big game there, of course, happening. dodge city is 22 below. chicago at 16 below. it gets worse. temperatures bottoming out with the minimum windchills at minus 25 for denver. we see some improvements, but not a lot when we get into

sunday, monday and tuesday. this is something we deal with, guys, for the beginning of the next workweek and we have to watch for dangerous conditions across much of the country. peter and laura. >> bundle up and stay inside. angie, thank you. to iowa where in two days the presidential primary season officially kicks off with the first in the nation caucuses and the weather is not expected to stop iowa republicans to come out in force on month. vaughn hillyard is live for us. >> reporter: good morning, guys. these devastating cold conditions here where it is currently zero degrees are making the campaign trip difficult. all of the candidates were canceled on friday. nikki haley and ron desantis are planning to keep items on the schedule this morning. some have already been canceled due to dangerous road conditions. the trump campaign preparing for

this moment by offering car rides to folks who need help getting to the caucus sites. the haley and desantis campaigns hoping to connect in person with caucus goers trying to win them over. will it make a difference? the polling here in iowa is consistent over the months with mr. trump having a dominating lead and high enthusiasm from his supporters. those who do not like the former president can weigh in as well. without a democratic caucus this year, independents and democrats can change party registration at the caucus monday night to participate on the gop side. i had a conversation with a democrats in des moines and one in debuke, to stop nikki haley. if haley can finish second ahead of desantis, she could make a compelling case this is a two-person race with her and the former president.

>> vaughn hillyard, thank you for braving the cold. let's get more now from kristen welker. kristen, so much is who is coming in it second place. if the former president dominates, is this game over? >> reporter: peter and laura, anything can happen on monday night. look, as vaughn was just saying, former president donald trump has been running strong in the polls. right now, if he wins, the question we are asking is how big is that margin. here is the magic number. 50. if mr. trump gets over 50%, that would be a sign that he is looking very strong throughout the primary race. if he gets less than 50%, that could raise questions of the

strength of his candidacy. we will look at the figure and turnout. he could have an historic win here. as vaughn was talking about the fight for second place, for governor ron desantis, iowa is really a must-finish strong state. guys, he has to have a strong finish here if he doesn't come in second place and that means it raises question he is if he should stay in the race. he will go to south carolina after caucus night here. of course, new hampshire votes first. i don't have to tell you that. why south carolina? i spoke with ron desantis' aide and he wants to take the fight to nikki haley's home state. he wants to send a powerful message to the trump campaign that he is in this race for the long haul. again, d to say what, if any state, he can win beyond iowa.

peter and laura. >> kristen, it is freezing there, we can tell. people in iowa are hard core. they know how to deal with cold. any sense it would impact turnout this time? >> reporter: that's really the big question. the weather is the x-factor. no doubt about that. iowans take so much pride in being the first in the nation to make their voices heard in the presidential contest. one told me they are made from hardy stock. we are not just talking about cold temperatures, we are talking about dangerously cold temperatures. that means if you are a senior or if you are living in a rural area, it could be tougher to get to the caucus site. who will turn out? the faithful.

trump's supporters are enthusiastic and dedicated. if you talk to folks around here, they will say they feel like a lower turnout could potentially benefit the former president. we have to wait and see what happens. i cannot underscore this enough. the weather will be an x-factor on monday night. >> so it begins. kristen, nice to see you this morning. tune in to "meet the press" when kristen's guests are the republican iowa senator. to turning overseas now. overnight, the u.s. launched another round of air strikes against the yemen houthi rebels who have been attacking cargo ships in the red sea. we have aaron gilchrist at the white house with more. aaron. >> reporter: laura, good morning. u.s. officials are calling this strike a follow-on action to the devastating strike on thursday. late last night, the navy fired

missiles at the houthi radar site in yemen. we are awaiting the assessment on how successful that attack was. this came a day after american and british forces targeted several locations in houthi-controlled yemen. the military saying 60 targets hit with munitions. they were command and control depots and air defense radar systems. the national security council says the aim here was to knock out the iran-backed militia ability to knock drones into the red sea. since november 19th, they tried to attack 28 times. at least once, a helicopter was fired at before boats being sank. president biden said he is not looking for war with the houthis or with iran, but will respond

with allies to stop outrageous behavior. >> we put together a group of nations that will say they continue to act and we will respond. >> reporter: the president there referring to operation prosperity guardian. a group of 20 nations patrolling the red sea. laura. >> aaron, i appreciate it. we bring in retired admiral james stavridis. admiral, good morning to you. nice to see you. we now have seen the strikes back to back. for people who are not following this day-to-day? what is the point? >> reporter: two things. aaron said to degrade the physical ability of the houthis to launch the missiles.

blinding so the missiles stop coming in. point two is deterrence. say to the houthis and sponsors in iran that you better stop now. we have more we can do. deterrence and a threat of escalation. third and finally, there is a signal internationally here with 20 nations so far in the coalition. we need to be the leader and help stand together against these threats to global shipping. >> admiral, you talk about the houthis sponsors in iran with intelligence. there is the fear this is a proxy war we are witnessing. how concerned are the americans that this escalates into a wider war? >> i think, unfortunately, peter, there is a one in three chance of escalation. very broad escalation. u.s. and iranian war ships firing at each other.

that is not insignificant. i think there is a two in three chance we avoid that because neither iran nor the united states, particularly a biden administration in a political year, are looking for that broader war. let's hope it stays tactical. the houthis get the message and tehran tells them to slow down and back down. i think that's probably how it plays out better than even chance. there is risk. >> you also have risk here to the supply chain. volvo and tesla planning to suspend production overseas in europe because of the situation. talk about the real-world impact for people at home. >> the biggest thing, laura, is the fact that major shippers hauling oil, cars, parts, toys and everything means they can't go through the red sea and suez

canal. it is a short cut. the container ships and tankers like you are showing have to go around the bottom of africa. that adds days to any voyage or weeks actually. that adds cost. you will see it at the gas pump and in consumer goods. again, one of the last things the biden team wants to see is a resurgence of inflation. bottom line here, 15% of the world's shipping passes through the waters. if we allow pirates to close them, you see that rise in cost. >> admiral, thank you for your time and expertise. >> tomorrow marks 100 days with israel and hamas. israel is not just fighting on the ground in gaza, but the international court. accusing the israelis of genocide. we have josh lederman with more

from tel aviv. what is the latest on that? >> reporter: peter, good morning. after two days of hearings, it is now up to the u.n. highest court to decide whether to order israel to halt the war in gaza. in court, israel defended the war in hamas. pointing out that hamas vowed to repeat the attacks again and again. south africa says the scale of destruction in gaza proves the israel intent is genocide. the u.n. and aid groups are unable to get aid to the places that need it. there is one piece of good news. israel announced a deal has been struck with hamas to get badly needed medicine into the gaza strip for civilian palestinians and for israeli hostages there. that deal was brokered by qatar.

it is separate from talks about another cease-fire or another deal to get more hostages out. >> josh lederman, thank you. still 130 hostages. thank you. now to an overseas election that could have major ramifications back here in the united states. the polls in the presidential election in taiwan closed hours ago and there is breaking news this morning with the results of that election. nbc's janis mackey frayer has more. >> reporter: laura, good morning. it appears william lai of the dpp will be taiwan's next president. the results of the election are still confirmed. they have not finished counting the ballots yet. he took a strong lead in this race. his main competitor, hu yu-li has conceded defeat.

telling supporters he is sorry for disappointing everyone. these contenders were neck and neck. lai had been campaigning mainly on the status quo platform. appealing to people in taiwan who want things to stay the same. he was effectively saying he was going to continue the foreign policy issues that were continued with no talks with mainland china and continued support of the united states. they continue with the weapons purchases from the u.s. a live victory will not go over well. they see william lai as a separatist and troublemaker. a u.s. delegation will be coming here in the next coming days.

they are saying it was important this process was fair and free of interference. laura. >> janis with the breaking news. thank you for being there. angie is keeping an eye on the forecast for us for the rest of the country. angie, some of the temperatures are single digits and below. >> we do have some good news. bright skies across the southeast. another storm system working across the west in the coming days. that is something we see as we get into the middle and later part of the workweek across the east. that lake-ef good morning, at 5:22 on this saturday we are already picking up on some rain coming into the bay area as part of a bigger storm system that will impact everybody as we go on into this afternoon. let's take it on in with storm ranger, see where that rain is right now, over mill valley, the richmond san raef bridge,

inverness and highway 1, slippery road there. and route 2 there are some concerns of that's the very chilly forecast. guys. >> this is when you think about spring break. when will we get away? still to come, the weather is cold, but the action is heating up. super wild card weekend. in hours, guad venegas has more. >> reporter: the snow won't stop >> reporter: the snow won't stop anybody from seeing which teams

ahead. >> good morning. coming up on "today," the red carpet is ready for the best. we look ahead to the emmy awards. and what is it like good morning. thanks for joining us on this saturday, january 13th. i'm kira clapper. as covid appears here to stay two studies are shedding light on the effects of long covid.

one study published by ucsf and gladstone institutes shows covid can remain in the body years after the initial infection. researchers found in those cases of long covid t cells are not working well with antibodies in order to fight the infection. >> it is likely that there is existing virus in the body in people with long covid because that immune system that's supposed to clean out the virus, the fragments, the remainder at the end, it's completely not working. >> a second study published in the lancet looked at data from more than 20 million people in three countries. researchers found getting vaccinated consistently reduced the ritz k of long covid symptoms by as much as 50%. the krids estimates 10% of adult covid survivors suffer from long covid. on this saturday morning we are under a microclimate

forecast alert. cynthia is here to tell us why. >> yeah, because there is a lott of rain coming in. we're also picking it up on satellite and radar. look what's happening, we're already seeing the rain, even snowshowers up to our north. it is part of a bigger storm system that is out there in the pacific. it's going to bring a lot of moisture to the bay area so we want to help you prepare for this saturday because it's going to be a stormy one. they're picking up on that rain with storm ranger up in the north bay, out towards the coast, though, highway 1 will be slippery, even 101 and over the richmond-san rafael bridge, pushing it out towards the north a little bit, we're going to go and talk about the north bay coming up at 7:00 a.m. because we do have some concerns with some flooding, with this rain it's going to be mostly centered over the north bay so that's going to bring up some of those river levels. so just something to keep note of as we go through today. taking it a little further east, we are looking at some rain going up 80, if you have any thoughts of going up to the sierra, i wouldn't advise that, but it is what it is. as we take a look at those temperatures, we are a little bit mild under that cloud cover, a little built more moisture in

the air, waking up in the mid to upper 40s. we will talk more about what's ahead for this stormy saturday. time to get the umbrella, maybe hunker down and a lot of details coming up at 7:00 a.m. >> thanks. we will see you at 7:00. also coming up at 7:00 this morning on "today in the bay," we have a look at our top stories, including the nation's highest court weighing in on homelessness, how the supreme court's decision could impact san francisco's homeless crisis and why liberal city and state leaders hope the conservative-leaning court sides with them. we will have that plus all your top stories and cynthia's full forecast coming up at 7:00. we hope you join us. right now back to the "today" show.

beauty. this time tomorrow, she'll be gone. the lights on the rockefeller center christmas tree will go out tonight for the last time and the tree will be removed. have you taken your tree down? >> i did take it down last weekend. i beat the rockefeller center tree. this norway spruce will live on. the wood will be milled and donated to habitat for humanity to be used in new home construction. i was glad. i thought it would stick around for valentine's day. let's get to the headlines. the u.s. is searching for to sailors missing off the coast of somalia. the names are not being released right now. officials say the sailors were deployed to the u.s. fifth fleet, but no other details are provided at this time.

the fleet's area of operation is the gulf and red sea and indian ocean. the u.s. department of justice is seeking the death penalty against the white supremacist who killed ten people at the buffalo grocery store in 2022. the shooter was indicted that year on 27 federal counts, including murder and hate crimes. he admitted he killed the victim because they were black during sentencing last year. this is the very first death penalty case sought by the biden administration. and vermont state police released body camera video showing a state trooper saving a young girl's life. michelle archer reported a girl fell through thin ice on the pond. archer pulled a rope from the cruiser and jumped in the frigid pond and swam to the 8-year-old. she then pulled the girl back to shore where another trooper helped carry her out of the waterwaiting ambulance.

this is getting a lot of attention. tonight at 8:00 p.m., minus 3 degrees. notice the winds. 30 miles an hour winds. the windchill is 24 below. that number is likely to drop as the game goes on. we could see it as low as 30 below. as we get to steelers and bills, 22 degrees there. the heavy snow will be a problem. balmy conditions down through good morning at 5:36. rain is here. it is light but will turn heavier through the day. where the rain is mow mostly into 0 marin county parts of the richmond-san rafael bridge and picked up over the bay bridge. a slick commute if you're headed 0 ut early. out to the north bay, concerns of flooding potential up in mendocino county. talk about that coming up at 7:00 a.m.

compare prices and inventories on line and in person at the dealership. know your credit score which will impact which incentives you qualify for. consider maintenance and insurance rates. check the used vehicle history report and get an independent inspection. >> you will not get the best deals on big full-sized truck suvs. everybody wants those. if you want a deal, look for toyota corolla. >> reporter: if you are thinking of making a switch to electric, good news. many brands like tesla and nissan lowers prices. incentives from the government could offer additional discounts. >> if you always wanted an electric car, but it was too expensive, this is the time to reassess that and go back and look. >> reporter: for "today," vicky nguyen, nbc news, new york. >> always good news to know you
