"gma" cover story, driving in winter weather. more than 1,300 people in the u.s. die every year on snowy, slushy or icy roads, and more than 100,000 are injured, and with so much of the country facing extreme cold, matt gutman has a demo that you don't want to miss for staying safe behind the wheel. watch this. >> reporter: here at the rally school they train drivers for the worst roads winter has to offer. back in 2022, i got in the driver's seat all to show you how to avoid heart-pounding scenes like this. and this. this suv in nebraska sliding across two lanes of traffic before flipping into a ditch. one of the most elusive obstacles, black ice, and here's one way to spot it. when the ground is wet, tires make a sizzling sound. that's water spraying off the road, but if the ground looks wet, and you don't hear that sizzle or see the spray coming off the car in front of you, you're likely on black ice, and that can occur even in above-freezing temperatures as

high as 45 degrees since pavement can be cooler than the air. they put me on this controlled icy course live on "gma." we set up barriers to simulate a hazard on the road. a hazard that you don't see coming in wintry conditions when there's a whiteout or a snowstorm, and something just comes in front of your car, car stops short, an animal jumps in. first i demonstrate what experts tell us not to do in these conditions. going too fast. i'm going to panic. i'm going to slam on the brakes, and i'm going to turn the wheel hard all at the same time. now, i'm driving at 40 miles an hour. there i register that there is a problem. oh, my god. i'm going to slam into -- and slam into the snowbank behind me. i am okay. i braked as hard as i could. everything is fine here. here's what i should have done. when approaching a turn or trying to avoid an obstacle on a slick road, only perform one action at a time. while holding the wheel steady, gently press on the brakes to

slow the vehicle. once at a safe speed, release the brake, and then make your turn. once the wheel is straight again, then accelerate. try to avoid turning the wheel while braking or accelerating. but if you have to do it, do it all gently. you don't put too many inputs into the car at once. the car is not going to be able to handle it, so what you want to do is think about doing one of those things at a time. brake, then turn. i try it again, this time slower, braking gently in a straight line then easing into the turn. i see this. i'm braking, but now i'm looking where i want to go, and i'm able to swerve out of the way safely avoiding that collision. for "good morning america," matt gutman, dalton, new hampshire. >> gio: really important stuff there. matt, thank you so much for that. all right. let's talk about a new limited series on hulu. it's got an ironic title, "the best heart attack of my life." will ganss is here with a preview. will, what is the title about? what's going on here? >> that's my nickname.

[ laughter ] there he is, the best heart attack of my life. no, but with a title like this, the tension in this show shows up around every corner in this new hulu series. you are on the edge of your seat just waiting for the titular crisis to strike our main character, who is a real guy, by the way. he spoke with us about how the worst moment of his life became the best. apologies to any other near-death experiences, but this is "the best heart attack of my life." a brand-new hulu series inspired by the true story of hernan casciari, who suffered a heart attack while staying at an airbnb in uruguay. the rental host rushing him to the hospital and ultimately saving his life. hernan's review of the airbnb going viral thanks to airbnb's ceo at his ted talk. >> excellent house for sedentary travelers prone to myocardial infarctions. [ laughter and applause ] >> reporter: but that heart attack set hernan on a path to

self-discovery that would change his life for the better. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> reporter: hernan himsel and alan sabgagh who plays hernan in the series with a whole lot of heart telling us it will give you some new perspective. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> reporter: now if you ask hernan, the language of the heart is universal. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> reporter: and all six episodes of "the best heart attack of my life" are streaming now on hulu. so, for me watching it, it sort of felt like "baby reindeer" where at the beginning you know things are going to go so south,

but you're laughing until they do, so it's sort of that like, uh-oh. you know? >> janai: yeah. >> it's a very exciting watch. although now you know we interviewed the main guy, so you know he survives. >> gio: great. >> janai: that's good. >> gio: thanks. you ruined it. >> whit: cleared that up. [ laughter ] >> gio: all right, thank you, will. let's go to somara for the latest on weather. what's up? >> somara: hey, gio, so i've got good news. rain is headed to southern california. now, i will say it's a double-edged sword here, because with burn scars, that rain coming down in places like santa clarita, altadena, that's where we could see run-off, mudslides. a dangerous situation in that sense, but we need the rain and humidity in southern california. what we have is this onshore flow this weekend. remember, we had that offshore flow, so we had that dry wind moving across los angeles into reverse now, and now we have this moisture pumping in. even when it's not raining, it's still good news, because the atmosphere is humid. that limits the fire development. timing on this, the heaviest of the rain moving in sunday evening into sunday night sticking around to monday around

lunchtime. 12% of california in an extreme drought right now. first california extreme drought that we have seen in two years. that's a look at the forecast across the country. >> whit: it is time for "deals & steals," and this morning tory johnson is focusing on self-care from small businesses. tory, good morning to you. >> good morning. i feel like janai and gio should be over here too, because

this is an epilator, and it pulls it out by the root and is the same as waxing, has prolonged effect. these are for skin tightening. the zip using electrical stimulation to help tighten the muscles of the skin, underneath the skin in order to give you a lift, and this uses radio frequency to upregulate your collagen and elastin in your skin so your skin looks tighter and smoother. so, all of these are dr. d. approved to use at home. >> gio: wow, look at that. that's amazing. >> janai: this sounds really incredible. but that's good to know, the difference between what we need to leave to the professionals, not order at home to try to do and what we can do at home. >> that's right. >> gio: and other kinds of laser hair removal. we see some of those devices sometimes. >> they work. they're a little slow and tedious, and you have to be careful based on your skin type. but i feel like if you have dark hair that's thick, you probably should just invest in that and get that in office as well. >> janai: all right, good to know, dr. dendy. thank you so much for being here. still coming up here on "gma," fun indoor projects

heklina had long been one of the faces of san francisco's drag scene. state health inspectors want to know what's in the water in moss landing. last week's fire at the vistra energy plant is raising safety concerns about whether toxic levels of heavy metals might have been released into the air and water. one thing they're looking for is fluoride, and if any dangerous hydrofluoric acid might have been produced. so officials are testing five water systems near the plant. preliminary results should be ready next week. all right. we have a lot more ahead. so let's get a check of the weather outside with lisa. >> okay. good morning to you. we're looking at some sunshine out there but also fog in the north bay. what a beautiful view here with the cloud cover and santa cruz. so a little bit of rain headed your way today. not the brightest or warmest days, but we will see increasing sun throughout the week. so that means more dry weather. although that's not the whole story. we'll talk about better rain chances as we get towards the end of january coming up.

30 miles an hour. the next several hours, they could gust as high as 50 miles an hour. then they begin to weaken, ramping up again into your sunday morning. so very breezy conditions to gusty winds. cloud cover as that low continues to retrograde and sink to the south. but as we get into the evening hours, a few more showers become possible. you can see from the east bay, the peninsula, the south bay. then by early tomorrow it sinks to the south and we'll see more in the way of sun, but not much warmth. you can see a couple hundredths right on through the weekend here, so not a whole lot of rain, a little bit of snow, low snow levels down to about 3000ft with our winter weather advisory. it's a cool one today with low to mid 50s, mostly cloudy conditions. mount hamilton could see even a few flakes of snow. few peeks of sun though. two spotty showers end tomorrow, then cold mornings, milder afternoons. rain chances increase

provided a jolt. >> don't be afraid you know to let it fly you know kind of feel like last few games have kind of been struggling offensively. so i think that's why i'm getting a chance just to get a new look out there. so it doesn't make sense. if i come in and i and i and i don't play my own game. >> you can catch the warriors and lakers tonight. tip off at chase center is 5:30 p.m. here on abc seven, followed by after the game. well, the coaching dominoes continue to fall in the nfl box. offensive coordinator liam coen set to take over the jaguars head coaching position. the raiders bit of a surprise. they hired 73 year old pete carroll to be their new head coach. now it's reported the cowboys will hire brian schottenheimer. and all this added up means some really good news for the 49 ers, because that means robert saleh is coming back as their defensive coordinator. their ex, dc, spent three and a half years as head coach of the new york jets before being fired. saleh

expected to become the highest paid defensive coordinator in the nfl. we're talking about more than $4.5 million per year. well, this is championship weekend in the nfl. the bills will visit the chiefs in the afc title game, a battle of arguably the two best quarterbacks in football. josh allen trying to end kansas city's playoff dominance, while patrick mahomes just keeps being amazing as the chiefs try to win their third straight super bowl. now the bills have lost their last three playoff games to kc, and allen wants to see that trend end. >> you always remember the feeling of not pulling through. you know that sticks with you for a while and it really, really doesn't leave. but again, i think every year that you go through in this league, you learn more things about yourself, about your team, about the game of football. >> when you win a super bowl, you start back at the bottom, you start back level with everybody, and you have to go about your process and put in that work. and so it definitely is a battle every single year.

every season is different. and you just appreciate being in this game and you just try to find a way to maximize it and try to get to that next one. >> that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody, and we'll see you right after. warriors versus lakers tonight at 530 here on abc seven i'm larry beil. >> first time oscar host conan o'brien is addressing how the devastating fires in southern california are impacting plans for this year's oscars telecast on the red carpet. caught up with conan at sundance, he said his writing team is working on several approaches for the show, but the real decisions about what the show will look like won't be made until closer to oscar night itself. >> i'll credit the oscar producers, who were terrific. they understand the situation, they understand what's happening. they're very sensitive to it, and i think we all obviously are. and so we're working hard to make sure, as i say, that it's the right show for that night for march 2nd, because this is an ever evolving situation that we're in now. >> conan says many of his friends and neighbors lost their

homes in the fires, and he had to evacuate, saying that he's going to be living in a hotel for the foreseeable future. so a lot of people going through so much. all right, you can watch the oscars sunday, march 2nd, right here on abc seven and live streamed on hulu. up next, the seven thing to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.”
