the announcement that could come today. friday, july 11th, 2014. >> from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a friday morning. what a crowd of tweens we have outside today. >> wow. >> you can just hear them. >> you can see they're crying. i've seen several crying. >> there's crying, fainting already out there. people are very excited to hear these five young women sing. i can't wait to see them in just a few minutes coming up on "today." >> fifth harmony will take our plaza and some fans have been waiting for days out there. first let's get to today's top story and dylan, you've got it. violent storms in our south. lots to talk about out west with the wildfires as well. >> you know, both coasts seeing different sorts of weather. we are looking now at the

cleanup of some of the crazy storms we had in virginia beach yesterday. it pretty much encompassed a five-block radius. we had wind gusts near 70 miles per hour. this happened around 3:30 yesterday afternoon. we saw 2 to 3 inches of rain in just an hour's period of time. and we also had reports of a tornado, although it hasn't been confirmed. there's a possible tornado but you can see from the damage with the treetops taken off there it was possible to be a tornado. on the flip side of that, out in washington state, about 250 firefighters are battling this blaze which is 0% contained. it has grown now to 18,000 acres. this is about two hours east of seattle in mills county. and we are looking at this to be a major concern because the heat is so intense out in that part of the country. temperatures are running about 10 to 15 degrees above average. and the brush is dry. there hasn't been any rain there for a long period of time. that is going to help fuel these fires.

we have excessive heat watches in effect saturday at 11:00 a.m. to sunday 7:00 p.m. throughout the entire weekend right in through here is where we'll see the temperatures 15 degrees above average. and the fire is up through here. it's one of several fires that are occurring in washington state right now. as we go through the weekend, 20 degrees above average in seattle. so it's that heat that is certainly going to make matters worse for the firefighters. and on the flip side of that-- that's three flip sides. on the flip side of that, we are actually talking about a polar vortex. a summer version of the polar vortex. >> thank you, dylan. i can't tell you how much i've missed saying polar vortex. thank you. >> dylan, than. we're learning more this morning about that tragic shooting in the houston suburbs that left six people dead including four children. and the teenager who survived is now being hailed as a hero. nbc's miguel almaguer has the latest on the investigation. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: willie, good morning. 33-year-old ron lee haskell will

be in court today to face murder charges for allegedly gunning down and killing six of his family members. but this morning it's a 15-year-old girl who is being called a hero for saving some of her other family members from the same fate. six different colored balloons released into the air. symbols of the lives lost in the deadly shooting in the houston suburbs. late wednesday night police officials in harris county say ron lee haskell forced his way into the home of his ex-wife's sister katie stay and her husband stephen trying to find out where his ex-wife and children were living. the stays' five kids were the only ones home. haskell holding them at gunpoint until their parents returned and opening fire on all seven members of the family. the sole survivor, 15-year-old cassidy stay bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head called police to tell them where haskell was headed. >> we were able to dispatch constable deputies to that location.

it was our understanding he was going to go to that location there and kill more people. >> reporter: after a slow-speed pursuit and a three and a half hour standoff, haskell surrendered to authorities. this his latest run-in with the law. in 2008, a guilty plea to domestic violence for assaulting his wife. >> he had been hurting her and she decided to leave at that time. >> reporter: haskell's wife filed for divorce a year ago agreeing to a mutual restraining order with haskell only having supervised visits with their four children. then just last week haskell's 61-year-old mother filed this restraining order saying her son had duct taped her wrists and choked her until she passed out. then he told me he was going to kill me, my family, and any officer who stops him. this morning back in texas, a community mourns the loss of cassidy stay's family. the lone survivor is being hailed a hero.

cassidy stay's grandfather released a statement last night. it reads in part, we are in awe of the bravery and courage of her calling 911. that act likely saved our lives. willie, savannah. >> miguel almaguer, on an unthinkable story for us. miguel, thank you. we'll turn to craig melvin. natalie's making her way back from alaska. we got news overseas this morning. >> yes. the death toll is mounting in israel this morning after another day of nonstop air strikes in the gaza strip. nbc's ayman mohyeldin is in gaza city witvery latest for us. >> reporter: good morning, craig. it's the fourth day of this israeli offensive on gaza to try and stop palestinian rocket fire. neither side shows signs of backing down. if you do the math, 1,100 israeli air strikes over the past four days. that's one air strike every five minutes nonstop. palestinians, they, too, show no signs of backing down. 550 missiles fired into israel since the beginning of this conflict.

israel's aerial assault on gaza continues targeting suspected rocket depots, launching sites and militants' homes. hamas is firing back sending at least 170 missiles into israel. sirens wailing in cities as far north as tel aviv and haifa, nearly 100 miles north of gaza. one today hit a gas station in astea setting it on fire and damaging nearby cars. and for the first time two rockets from lebanon were fired into israel. the israeli military responding by shelling lebanese territory. the growing concern, will the conflict escalate to a ground war? thousands of israeli troops have been called up waiting for orders to invade. in the meantime, civilians on both sides are paying the price. nbc's martin fletcher reporting from a makeshift maternity ward in an israeli bomb shelter during a rocket attack. >> reporter: again, we only just entered when there was another siren. the bunker was too small for all

the mothers to fit in. >> very weird and also scary, but it is our reality. >> reporter: in gaza, an israeli air strike hit the home of this woman who is three months pregnant. in the shock of the attack, she says she miscarried and lost her baby. all she has left, her first sonogram and a paper trail of the journey it took to conceive the baby she hoped to one day have. this morning israel's main international airport in tel aviv saw flight disruptions as a result of incoming palestinian rocket fire. there's no doubt about it, the rockets have disrupted the way of life inside israel. but here in gaza, people are hoping to live through another day. craig. >> ayman mohyeldin for us in gaza city this morning. ayman, thank you. back here the u.s. border patrol has said it stopped sending central american children and families to san diego after they're arrested in south texas. the experiment sparked quite a backlash in one california city when protesters blocked the road

and forced bus loads of immigrants to reroute. meantime on capitol hill, lawmakers are working on a possible compromise as to deport migrant families more quickly. it's all part of president obama's $3.7 billion emergency request to address the border crisis. an american airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in st. louis thursday when a man allegedly wrote threatening messages on his cell phone. another passenger saw the man typing out the messages and alerted flight attendants. after that plane landed, that man was led away in handcuffs but was later determined not to be a threat. most baseball coaches teach young players not to slide head first. and this morning some evidence why they are probably right. this video comes to us from a south korean baseball league and check it out. the runner tries to slide into third base. thanks for the music.

he goes straight into the dirt, straight into the bag. and watch what his little body does after that. he's fine though. we should note that he's fine. to add insult to injury, the guy was called out as well. could very well be the worst slide in baseball history. >> but a great yoga pose. strong core. >> not good for the face. >> no. craig, thank you. i'm dying to know. where's the polar vortex coming? >> it could be coming early next week. i don't want to give it all away yet. i'm hedging it for now. just hinting it for now. we'll talk about today first. we've got some scattered showers and storms expected through the central plains and northeastern minnesota. slight risk of some damaging winds and large hail. the northeast looks nice again today and that'll stick through the weekend with high pressure in control down through the southeast. that's a look at the weather across the country. your local forecast is coming up in 30 seconds. so whether it's taste inspired by the freshness of the mediterranean... or the smoky spice of the southwest...

prisoner bowe bergdahl. he was freed in that controversial exchange more than a month ago and now a newly released photo from his time in captivity is getting a lot of attention. nbc's national correspondent peter alexander is on the story in texas this morning. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. today marks exactly four weeks to the day since army sergeant bowe bergdahl arrived back home in the u.s. at the brooke army medical center. he is now in the final phase of his reintegration process even as he faces more scrutiny. a few more weeks. that's how much longer military officials say bergdahl has ahead of him here in san antonio. the former p.o.w. has been easing his way back in the public. allowed to go with supervision to restaurants, shopping, a library.

but again this week, bowe bergdahl's time is raising questions. this photo posted to a twitter account societied with the taliban and al qaeda show bergdahl smiling next to an official of the network. the military is saying it's 100% propaganda. >> we certainly have to understand this photo was when bergdahl was under duress. so we're going to have to take it from that perspective. >> reporter: as bergdahl who's now 28 prepares to leave military care, experts warn that his new freedom will be both liberating and scary. >> he is going to be exposed to an intense media burst of publicity and a lot of it will not be positive. >> reporter: from the controversy surrounding his capture, disappearing from his afghanistan post in 2009, to the circumstances of his release in exchange for five taliban militants from guantanamo bay. bergdahl has been receiving some training on dealing with the

media but he won't have an escort when he's on leave or off duty. at that point, he's on his own. >> the way he is welcomed back will be a critical factor in how he does not just short-term but long-term. >> reporter: and one question that all of us have been wondering is whether bowe bergdahl has spoken or perhaps seen his family. the pentagon has not given us any updates on that. last month they said he had not. i asked the former army psychiatrist if that would be unusual. she said that is unusual but there's a lot unusual about his case. savannah. >> that's for sure. peter alexander, thank you so much. all right. now to a dustup between the united states and germany over spying after german officials asked a top u.s. intelligence officer in berlin to leave the country. chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell has the latest on this story. andrea, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the cia is under fire today accused of spying on one of america's closest and most

important allies. at the worst possible time. just as president obama needs germany's help against vladimir putin over ukraine. returning to the white house thursday evening, president obama found himself with another crisis on his hands. america's top intelligence official in germany, the cia station chief expelled from the u.s. embassy in berlin. this after not one but two germans working for the cia were accused of spying on angela merkel's government in the past two weeks. german authorities allege the agents revealed details of how much germany knew about the scope of u.s. gathering in the country. the president so far has not called merkel to apologize or explain. on thursday merkel expressed her frustration saying, spying on allies is a waste of energy in the end. this comes after edward snowden's revelation last year that the nsa was listening in on merkel's cell phone.

white house officials claim that the cia did not warn president obama. that that one agent has been caught more than a week ago. so he didn't know to apologize when talking to her. >> this is not going to end the relationship with germany, but certainly the united states needs to have a strong, healthy relationship going forward. >> reporter: administration officials say everyone spies. including germany. but germany's finance minister says the worst part of this spy story is what the cia got of no value. he said that kind of stupidity was enough to make you weep. >> andrea mitchell in washington for us. thanks. meantime, speculation is heating up this morning over where the biggest basketball star on the planet is taking his talents next season. we are talking about lebron james. thursday, signs appeared to point towards his return to cleveland. let's check the smoke signals

with jenna wolfe. she is there. what are you hearing? >> reporter: good morning to you, savannah. let me tell you, hell hath no fury like a city scorned by lebron james. what a difference four years and a bit of forgiveness makes. he hasn't even made his decision yet, and already the city that vowed never to forgive him has had a change of heart. if you believe the hype, the future of the nba relies on a single man known by a single name. lebron. his hometown cleveland ready to rock if their favorite son comes home. have you for given the guy? >> of course. >> reporter: why? >> we need a winning team again. >> reporter: lebron james the first overall pick by the cavaliers in the nba draft and the one that got away from them. >> i'm going to take my talents to south beach. >> reporter: leaving a trail of broken hearts. some fans even burning their lebron jerseys. but maybe time does heal all wounds. while james spent time at a

basketball game in las vegas, fans gathered outside his home. the fanfare so overwhelming, his lawn tweeting, his lawn, begging for people to keep off. >> please don't go! >> reporter: but fans in miami, his most recent home aren't ready to let go either. >> for him to go back to a place where he didn't get a ring from. that don't make any sense. so it just makes sense for him to stay with the people that love him. >> reporter: speculation about where he may go next has become a game of its own. some satiracally writing that lebron would make his announcement at a session of the united nations. others wonder if he's gunning to fill the empty chair on "the view." his fans are ready for him, most of them with open arms. so why would cleveland want him back? well, let's take vegas odds for one. the chances of the cleveland cavaliers winning the nba championship improve from 60 to

1 to 8 to 1 if the guy comes back. he hasn't made a decision yet. for now, the lebron watch continues. guys, back to you. >> thank you. meantime george clooney is taking his public feud with a british tabloid to a new level this morning refusing to accept its apology for false claims tied to his upcoming marriage. nbc's katy tur is in london with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. he's refusing to accept that apology because he says "the daily mail" has lied again within that apology. and george clooney says he's got proof. once again taking to the pages of "usa today" overnight, george clooney eviscerated "the daily mail" declaring the apology just another lie. there is one constant when a person or company is caught doing something wrong. the coverup is always worse, clooney wrote. yesterday "the daily mail" pulled their article claiming

amal's mother was unhappy with their daughter marrying outside of their faith. but "the daily mail" maintained the story was not a fabrication. now this morning clooney is firing back again with not just another condemnation, but evidence. furthermore, they knew ahead of time they were lying, he wrote. citing an article from april describing the future in-laws and how alamuddin's father married outside the druze faith and is believed to have met her mother in a nightclub in beirut. saying she is not druze. >> calling them the worst tabloid ever because in their apology they said they didn't fabricate the story and he has found evidence they did. >> reporter: clooney is no stranger to being a tabloid target. the son of a journalist and soon to be son-in-law of another as alamuddin's mother is a lebanese

broadcaster. clooney is familiar with the news business and hasn't made a habit of responding to mere rumors. >> he can brush it off when they say his fiance is pregnant, but this seemed to be a serious issue. because it is serious. >> reporter: it's a serious issue, a bigger issue for george clooney because he said "the daily mail" exploited cultural and religious differences and he said that is dangerous. meanwhile, we reached out to "the mail" but they have not responded. to our calls and e-mails. >> not backing down on this one. katy tur, thanks so much. meantime dylan has moved from this side of the set to that side. pulling double duty in the orange room. >> that's weather. this is orange room. i guess they're desperate right now. >> you're talented. >> here's what's going to blow your mind. i'm talking about weather in the orange room. what? what is going on right now? but i know you're excited about this. we're talking about the polar

vortex again. for those of you who forget what the polar vortex is, take a look. >> i have never experienced cold like this in my life. >> 32 states with windchill advisories or watches and we're not done yet. >> now, here is the polar vortex. >> the polar vortex. >> can i get a freaking polar vortex. >> any temperature above zero would be a welcomed relief. >> i'm cold just looking at that jacket. i had more jackets that winter in my closet than i've had before. i looked something like this. you folks were tweeting in pictures like this and the entire planet on our side of the world looked like this. this was the polar vortex that dipped down to the south and gave us those really, really cold temperatures. now, obviously it's not a summer polar vortex, but it's a version of it. we are going to see a polar intrusion, we'll call it, as the colder air starts to move in from the north. temperatures 10 to 30 degrees below normal. would you rather have it hot or

cold? tweet us in the orange room. guys. >> you happy now? >> i'd rather see dylan in that red coat again. >> no way, no way. >> thanks. coming up, why the wife of that georgia dad accused of killing his own son by leaving him in a hot car just left the state. plus an interview with a man who was in that couple's wedding. a cutting edge new use for botox. what's giving hope to tens of millions of americans with depression. but first this is "today" on nbc.

>> reporter: he says he was a groomsman at their wedding eight years ago. but he remembers working as a cashier and ross would stop by. >> most of the cashiers were younger females. he would say that one is fine. i was like dude stop checking girls out. >> reporter: soon after that their friendship fell apart and they rarely spoke. then fast forward to last month. >> it makes you sick to your stomach. >> reporter: he sees his old friend on the news. >> stunned, angry, disgusted. it made me literally pull over and throw up. >> reporter: none of it makes sense to him. he wonders why ross a computer expert and former police dispatcher would have researched hot car deaths online as prosecutors allege. >> he knows how law enforcement works. he knows how computers work. it blows my mind that the ross harris i knew is capable of doing any of the things i've heard. >> reporter: then came another

weekend. we have been focused a lot on the flooding on the banks of the mississippi and we could see more flooding over the next 48 hours because we're looking at an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain. most of your heavier downpours will be across northern illinois. keep an eye out for that as we go through today and into the weekend especially as more flooding is possible. elsewhere across the country some scattered showers to the southeast. also the monsoonal moisture and then west coast is exceptionally hot. even sea 7:36 good friday morning, i'm meteorologist christina loren. really cool sky over san jose. full deck of clouds but as the sun breaks through, you can see it is doing so very rapidly casting a shadow on half of the south bay. east towards 73 64 in san francisco. here we go. take you through the changes. cool breeze returns for today. that's going to cut off that humidity. comfortable weekend then next week temperatures are going to crank. we will see a return of the 90s,

down first. >> skin down. also let's season the both sides. >> okay. >> all right. so we're going to cook this for about six to eight -- maybe eight to ten minutes until what you want is it to be nice and crispy and golden. you see that? >> nice. >> nice crust. once you've got this you're going to pour off a bit of fat. this a great tool. a spatula. just get under there. you've got the crispy delicious chicken thighs. they're delicious as is. but now what you want is get a lemon. you slice your lemon up. this is possibly but i hope not to cut myself. you got a bunch of slices right? you'll get the pre-sliced ones. you put them on top of the chicken, but also most importantly nestle some in there. nestle some in the pan. >> do some nestling? >> do some nestling. those are the ones that will get brown and delicious. >> this is after the ten minutes where you've got the crispy season, the lemons. >> make sure the skin is crispy.

then take the pan and go over to the oven. 425. >> okay. >> cook six to eight minutes. if you want to use a temperature thermometer, 165 is what you're looking for. >> okay. >> grab a towel. i've done this before where you're like i'll grab the pan and that hurts a bit. let's take it out. >> loungehow long was that in there? >> six to eight minutes. now you've got though cooked through chicken at this point. you're going to take it -- i almost grabbed the pan again. >> you never flipped the chicken in the pan on the stove top. >> that's the thing. you want the meat tender and juicy on that side. now we're going to make the sauce. can you see how gorgeous that is? >> it's beautiful. panel, how we feeling about this down here? >> we're on seconds down here. >> shallots. a little red chili. garlic.

oregano. a little white wine. with the magic of tv we pour that in there and chicken stock. let's wait for a minute or two before it starts to reduce and get syrupy. >> right away in the hot pan. >> you want it over medium high heat. we say in the recipe finish it with a little olive oil. but butter tastes better. you just dump the better in there. you swish it around. you get it nice and gorgeous. it's fragrant it's delicious. you get a spoon somewhere. >> right up top. >> and you're going to sort of pour it over like this. >> it smells incredible more than anything else. >> i don't know. is that the best thing ever? >> what's the final verdict? >> absolutely love it. but do you eat the lemons. >> you can. yeah they're caramely and sweet. they're not like the bitter stringent. >> it's fine. craig may eat the lemons. >> we're on the third piece now. the thighs are small.

>> top five recipes we've done this week. >> you've only done five. >> thanks. our series does not end here. we'll have tasty chicken barbecue this weekend on "today." and remember to share photos of your finished product on facebook and twitter with the #supersimple #supersimplechicken. coming up next, the ladies of fifth harmony. but first this is "today" on nbc.

splurpees being offered at 7-eleven today. >> i love a slurpee, what about you? >> i love a slurpee. this one's a little small. >> we thought -- >> supposed to get the two gallon sized slurpee. >> it's america. we want a big one. >> this is small. but it's still delicious. >> and the straw doesn't quite fit the size. >> poked me in the eye earlier, but i will say when i was little i used to roller blade to the local 7-eleven buy myself a big slurpee and a snickers bar. >> that's america right there. >> did you go coke slurpee? >> yes. were you a red guy? >> yeah. we get this on free slurpee day.

this is the size you get. by buy a big one. we're also kind of blings out these are the boss necklaces you get when you hang with fifth harmony. >> why do you pronounce it like that? >> because that's how you say it. >> i like how it ends with two dollar bills. >> they were good though weren't they? >> they made me feel a bit old though. what about you? >> they're between 17 and 21. >> just a high school sound to them. i remember rocking out to 'nsync. >> sure. >> i was in high school then. >> were you an 'nsyncer or backstreet boys? >> i was for 'nsync. now i'm a 32-year-old trying to rock out to fifth harmony. i'm dressed as conservative though. >> should we talk a little clooney here? george clooney is lashing out again against britain's "the

daily mail." he's rejected their apology for a story that he says was a lie that put his family and friends in danger. in a new op-ed he said "the mail" knew the story in question was false and printed it anyways. so i thank for its apology. not that i would ever accept it. he claimed they made false stories about how his mom was supposedly telling people in beirut she's against their marriage for religious reasons. "the mail" said they heard this from a family friend. but now say it's from senior members of the lebanese community. whatever that means. clooney doesn't weigh in on this stuff often so he's taking this to heart. >> for sure. i don't know if it's worth fighting it frankly. i don't know. but when you see things written about you that aren't true which

happens a lot to a lot of people sometimes it's better just to -- >> just walk away from it. >> yeah. now "the daily mail" is getting all this attention. >> there's something about this story, though and the religious aspect of it that got to him. he worried it was a bigger problem than him. so he's still fighting today. >> well onto a less important story. for women it's bathing suit women. how many women hate trying on bathing suits? oh look. dylan. a man just raised his hand. we shouldn't just say, i'm sure some men don't like it either. but we know bathing suit rooms can be tiny bad lighting at least i claim there's bad lighting. and finding a suit you like is terribly hard. really gross -- there's a reason for why buying a bathing suit is even more awful. so you know how the bottom of bathing suits have that kind of sticky protective liner?

>> kind of yeah. >> do men's have those? >> yeah they have a mesh netting. >> well research by a professor at new york school of medicine found that liner isn't really a gave guard against bacteria or viruses. which is really gross. they found most bacteria is actually on swim suits and underwear. now here's the question. i don't think it's fair to say just women don't like to try on bathing suits. >> i'm not a big trier onner. i feel like i know my size and if it's wrong i eat it and deal with it. >> what if you were trying on -- where's the front? what if you were trying on something like this? >> wow. that has a real elasticity to this. >> you know whose this is that i stole it from? >> who? >> matt lauer's. it was in matt lauer's room. i'm not saying he's ever worn it. it has this little extra area. the hard thing, the skimpier the

suit if you were wearing a banana hammock, you need that thing. >> i don't wear a banana hammock especially when it's in gold. >> it matches your boss. this is for your. that's why i think it's not really fair to say that men don't like trying on suits. >> i guess so. i'm not a big trier onner. give that back. that's fantastic. >> okay. >> let's talk a little lebron james. everybody in cleveland is waiting to hear. will he resign with the miami heat or go back to cleveland? cleveland holding out hope after lebron famously left in 2010 to take his talents to south beach. they were not pleased there. everyone talking about where lebron will go including seth meyers who had a funny take last night. >> lebron james, welcome to late night with seth meyers where all your dreams will come true. if you join our team you could have everything you wanted. a computer three to four feet

of desk space, tape dispenser, telephone, a stapler, and access to electrical outlets. tons and tons of electrical outlets. hungry for another nba title? maybe. hungry for a weird assortment of food? definitely. our office refrigerator has eight different kinds of milk half and half cheryl's sandwich from yesterday, and you know we have utensils. plastic forks, plastic spoons two random pairs of chop sticks. sure you can go to the heat cavs or clippers. but we have heat cavs and clippers right here. >> that's a wild card now. he may go to seth meyers. >> that enticed me. it's very similar to our offices, i have to say. people are like where should i meet you? like my cube. meet me at my cube. and there's always a cheryl sandwich in the fridge. >> or yogurt from the day before. >> if you didn't finish the yogurt throw it out.

"huffington post" had fun with slogans clearly joking. starbucks, we serve you decaf if you're rude. that's a good one. >> which is true. perrier. rich people water. >> i think that's probably right as well. halls, candy with directions. >> purell the lazy hand wash. >> and dirt devil, terrorize your pet. i like those slogans better than the original. >> i do too. >> let's go over to dd. dylan dreyer is in for al. what's going on? >> i don't know if you notice how much light those boss things reflect. you guys are bling out. >> they're pretty icy. >> dollar dollar bill y'all. >> i took mine off. everybody was calling me boss and it was getting confusing. sorry about that. we are seeing heavier rain moving through minneapolis right now. also there western iowa. des moines is about to see heavier thunderstorms move through shortly.

we do have a slight risk of storms besides the scattered showers and storms. we are looking at a chance of stronger storms in nebraska south dakota and stretching into western iowa where we could see heavier downpours which could lead to more flooding concerns and the chance of large hail and damaging wind gusts. this is the rain we're focusing on in the next 48 hours. from mason city iowa into chicago we could end up with 2 to 3 inches of rain. with all the flooding concerns up and down the mississippi, that will only make things worse. down across the southeast, a couple of scattered showers and storms. temperatures actually below average for florida. only in the upper 80s. below average across parts of texas. the southwest should be around 105 today. and seattle, not a record but it is going to be 9:09. good morning to you. we don't have any record heat in sight. in fact, today is going to be gorgeous and we'll stay comfortable all weekend long.

right now, we're mostly in the 50s and the 60s. headed towards the low 80s. the east shore looks good. and you should get a nice clear shot tonight of that super moon from all across the bay area. it will be completely full tomorrow morning at about 2:00 a.m. so check that out, if you can. overall, great-looking weekend coming your way with temperatures in the 80s in the south bay. >> and willie dd for dylan dreyer doing double duty. >> that's right. >> you're a boss girl. >> apparently we have special effects. we're going to do a fifth harmony thing here where is it? >> no. it's not. is that it? >> no. that's just natural light reflecting. we were told there was spervelcial effects. >> can you name this hollywood hottie on horse back? >> i know by the pecks alone. >> who is it? >> i'm not telling. it's a tease. >> we'll tell you on your tick
