detroit. jesse, the windchill is 11 degrees below zero. we don't need to tell you that. >> reporter: peter and laura, good morning. we feel it. we have been in a lot of winter weather this season. this morning is sticking out as one of the brutal because of how low the temperatures before the windchill. we have snow on the ground in detroit. this is nothing compared to what some people are waking up to as americans are dealing with the aftermath of the brutal week unfortunately, this stretch is deadly from coast to coast. 59 deaths related to the weather since january 12th. tennessee has seen 19 deaths. the death toll is climbing as this scene played on the virginia roadway on friday. the small single engine plane landed on the roadway. there were no reports of

injuries. further north, philadelphia was under a snow emergency yesterday. 5 inches of snow falling on the city of brotherly love. that is nothing on buffalo, new york. 9 inches falling yesterday with snow trickling in there this morning. that area seeing 31 inches of snow. hopefully they have enough time to dig out the bills stadium this week before the next playoff game. fans last week were going to the stadium and kicked off that game with snow on the ground. thankfully for lions fans in detroit, that stadium is indoors. something we can be thankful for. >> jesse, thank you. >> his face peeking out. >> let's bring in the expert with the winter storms. angie, how much? >> we have good news. good morning. we have the snow moving out for the most part. we will see the lake-effect snow. the bitter cold gets your

attention. let's start with the snow. notice the strong winds. cold at best. the lake-effect snow machine continues. the heavy bands set up downwind of the lake. additional snow is possible. i know we had 3 to 6 feet in spots. coupled with a couple of nchbs inches is not great. meanwhile, the windchill alerts topping 70 million from montana to florida and into the northeast. the bitter cold temperatures are here to stay. we will see improvement, but not before today. temperatures right now are 3 degrees in st. louis. feeling like 12 below. feeling like 11 in jackson. across the board, bitter cold temperatures and conditions that require you to bundle up like jesse was. here is the deal. the average temperatures are below average. pinks and purples and blues. look at next week. starting on monday, the eastern

half of the country starts to see the temperatures come up. we're talking 10 or 20 degrees above normal. above normal. that's great for this time of year. 50s in new york. by the time you get to thursday, we have 50s for cincinnati and 60s in the picture for nashville. down to atlanta, we are near 70 degrees. a weather roller coaster as far as the temperatures is concerned over the next couple days. guys. >> angie, thank you very much. to politics now and the spotlight on new hampshire with three days to go to the first in the nation primary. nikki haley is hoping the state's independents will slow the march to the republican nomination for former president trump. we will speak to kristen welker in a few minutes. we go to first shaq brewster on the ground. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the race is heating up with the

last-minute campaign events and rally. mr. trump looks to build on the momentum from the iowa win and extend to new hampshire. mr. trump winning the endorsement from senator tim scott overnight. scott was not just his former rival in the race, but appointed to the senate in 2012 by then governor nikki haley, who is trying to defeat trump. scott believes trump will unite the country and use the phrase we need donald trump. nikki haley is largely dismissing the endorsement as she crosses the country, rather the state of new hampshire, trying to close the gap in polling. the latest poll shows nikki haley down double digits to former president trump. though leading among the key independent or undeclared voters who in new hampshire have the option of voting in the republican primary race. haley responding more aggressively to the trump attacks going after him on his

temperament and connecting him to joe biden. saying she wants to turn the page. meanwhile, ron desantis is trying to turn the page in new hampshire by not being here in new hampshire where he doesn't have traction. he is looking to south carolina and leaving this state to donald trump and nikki haley. guys. >> shaq, your mouth is still working in new hampshire. weep up the good work. >> new hampshire voters take pride in the candidates and putting them to the test and earn the votes. it can be a very independent bunch. what should we look for on tuesday? a lot to discuss here. nobody better than our friend kristen welker from "meet the press." kristen, good morning. >> reporter: laura and peter, great to be with you from chilly new hampshire. >> kristen, you are there in new hampshire. the live free or die state.

famous for its independent streak. nikki haley is hoping the undeclared voters will make the difference for her in the closing days of the campaign because if they don't, this republican nomination race could be over as soon as it started. >> reporter: peter, you are absolutely right. new hampshire is mission critical for nikki haley after the disappointing third place finish in iowa. as you just heard shaq say, to win the state, she needs independents to turn out in force. they make up 40% of the electorate here. i spoke with them yesterday. they told me they are energized. a number of them undecided, peter. that will make a difference. can she pick off the voters who voted for chris christie? he has now dropped out of the race. you think about the magnitude of what a trump win here would mean.

not only would it give him extra momentum, but he is coming off that historic win in iowa. historic for that huge margin by which he won. if he would win in new hampshire, he would be the first non incumbent gop candidate to win in iowa and new hampshire, which means he stands a chance of potentially making history twice. peter, i go back to that point you made. if he were to win here, it would make the narrow path for haley and desantis that much more narrow and tougher. of course, all this happening as he is set to go to trial in two cases. >> kristen, i have to ask you, what is going on with senator tim scott? it is not unusual, to see endorsements this time of year, but after coming out strongly against him and everything he said, what is his end game now? >> reporter: well, laura, there

is the practical and the political. we know that both nikki haley and donald trump spoke to tim scott this past week and asked for his endorsement. he apparently finalized his decision on friday. this is a huge boost to trump and a state that is competitive than iowa. it is a huge blow to nikki haley for all of the reasons that shaq laid out. she appointed him in 2012. the fact he is endoring now could help give trump that extra momentum heading into tuesday. there is also plenty of buzz about tim scott as a potential vp nominee. by the way, other folks are getting a similar buzz have been here on the ground in new hampshire as well, including congresswoman stefanik. that is part of the picture. it adds to the air of inevitable for donald trump. you see republicans close ranks

around him. doug burgum. and marco rubio issued endorsements for donald trump as well as half of the gop members of congress. think about that. you do have republicans closing ranks and giving this inn evident ability. if he were to win, it would be significant and nearly unstoppable. laura and peter. >> we know you will cover it from top to bottom. kristen will have the latest tomorrow morning on the special edition of "meet the press." she will have senator maggie hassan and ron desantis and chris sununu. and good news on the economy for you saving up for inflatio the tech industry. the dow and s&p rising. the s&p is in a bull market

officially. this is good news for the economy and americans, but will voters give president biden credit for it ahead of the tough re-election campaign? we have aaron gilchrist at the white house with the very latest this morning. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter. these new stock market records are coming as americans are starting to feel better about the economy. a university of michigan survey shows consumer sentiment went up 13% in january. cumulative 29% increase since november. that is the biggest two-month increase in 30 years. experts say this driven by consumer confidence that inflation has turned a corner and improving income expectations. the white house says this is the latest sign that the biden's plan is delivering results. peter. >> aaron, the biden administration made news to cancel about $5 billion in student debt that will impact 70,000 plus americans. this move is not without

controversy. >> reporter: that $5 billion benefitting 74,000 borrowers according to the white house. president biden says this includes public sector workers and teachers and firefighters and nurses and people who have been in repayment for at least 20 years at this point. this is the fourth time the white house has taken steps to eliminate student debt for 3.7 million people. the president doling out this relief in waves after the supreme court struck down his student loan debt relief plan last summer. this has faced criticism. the republican chair of the house education committee said the president is desperate to buy votes and the administration quote needs a good old fashioned dose of fiscal common sense. peter. >> the government narrowly avoid age shutdown as well. a lot of headlines at the white house. aaron, thank you. now to the investigation

into what caused a cargo plane to catch fire mid air. a scary scene caught on marissa parra has more. marissa, what do we know about what happened? >> reporter: laura, it happened over 24 hours ago. as of right now, all signs point to a problem with the engine. this was a boeing 747 cargo plane. there were five people on board. fortunately, no injuries, thanks to quick thinking and action. for the five people, you can imagine how terrifying it was to see flames around them. this is what the pilot told air traffic control minutes after takeoff thursday night. >> mayday. engine fire. request flight back to the airport. >> reporter: atlas air said this is an engine malfunction. an early look at the engine

reveals a softball sized hole above the engine. they will look to see if it is an uncontained engine failure. it is important to know boeing is not responsible for the engine. it is ge. both companies are working with federal investigators. >> marissa parra, thank you. just this morning, state media in iran and syria are reporting that israel launched a strike on the capital city of damascus. the missiles destroying a building used by the revolutionary guard. no public comment from israel. five people were killed including two senior members of the paramilitary unit. this strike comes with tensions across middle east with the war in gaza rages on more than 100 days since the brutal attack in

israel. and angie is back with the check of the forecast. >> we have mostly quiet conditions across the country. take a look at the satellite-radar. we are dealing with the lake-effect snow across the great lakes. otherwise, mostly clear conditions across the south. out west, we have our next trouble spot. we will see rain and snow and ice on the table here as we get through the next day or so with the next storm system onshore. flood alerts are up and we could see a couple of inches of rain falling within the next couple days. the frigid temperatures in the mid section of the country. it is below zero or feeling below zero for so many this morning. that will continue into the afternoon hours. we are not leaving the gulf coast out. a cold start with temperatures in the 40s. make sure you are taking it slow with the additional snow across the great good morning. 5:58 on this saturday. gten thre of the rain and we will see more throughout the weekend.

checking it with storm ranger where it is now. waking up to light to moderate downpours in the north bay. marin county and over through san rafael and into richmond. be careful on roadways. north bay seeing light rain at this time. through the east bay several more and that is a look at the forecast. extra layers needed. >> that's good. thank you, angie. still to come, dana griffin is here with the latest on the alec baldwin case. >> for the second time, alec baldwin is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge for the shooting death of the movie's shooting death of the movie's cinemato

manslaughter after the review of evidence. the 65-year-old was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter last january. months later, the charges were dropped when the defense team raised questions if the gun was functioning properly. the forensic analysis of the weapon later concluded the trigger was pulled. it is unclear how live rounds were mixed with dummy rounds on set. the armorer is going to trial next month. >> the state charged two defendants. one pleaded guilty and the other case is pending. alec baldwin has a credible argument that he did not know the gun was loaded or at least dangerous. >> reporter: hutchins widower filed a wrongful death lawsuit after the shooting, but reached a settlement.

>> the idea the person holding the gun causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd. >> reporter: in november, nbc received the videos turned over to the special prosecutors. one shows baldwin holding a prop gun two weeks before the shooting occurred. >> if i shoot right, i don't want to shoot toward you. >> reporter: nbc has not seen all of the video handed over to prosecutors. following the iindictment, baldwin's attorneys released a statement saying they look forward to their date in court. baldwin can enter a not guilty plea and through the attorney, halyna hutchins' parents are suing in a separate case, say they would like there to be accountability in the criminal justice system. guys. >> dana, thank you. i'm surprised that they are doing this all over again. i think people at home might be

having deja vu. initially, the state said it was tampered which would raise reasonable doubt. now the gun wasn't tampered and an expert put it back together. this is hard for the jury. >> the case is on again and off again. it seems like a striking headline. >> we will see where it goes. let's get a check on the weather. angie, everyone is feeling the cold? >> the cold air is the big headline the past couple days. we look to the west with a new storm system which is leaving 16 million people under the alerts as you get saturday morning started. that green is flood watches with the potential for rain and snow and difficult travel. we are dealing with the rain in central to northern california and stretching into oregon. that is the bull's-eye we will see today. notice what happens with the heavy rain.
