let's roll over to the southern bohemian islands right now. this is the tropical wave we are watching. in the next five days, a 40% chance this will again strengthen into a tropical storm. we will keep an eye on this one right now. let's look at the things that are going to contribute to the strengthening or weakening. the very warm water in the gulf right now at about 90 degrees. that's fuel to the fire. there are also winds which are shearing this introducing dry air and that may weaken it. again, we will live with our 40% chance that this continues to strengthen. two models now, one, the american model which takes it into the gulf states and the euro which brings it into the southeastern over florida. no mat what happens, we are going to see very heavy rains roll over the peninsula of florida right now. locally, upwards of 5 or more inches over the next several days. it's going to be a very, very wet weekend. let's continue to take a look at what we're expecting over the next several days and, again, we are anticipating that we are

going to see wet weather stretching all the way from florida, straight through to texas over the next 48 hours or so. again, about a 40% chance that this really develops into something even stronger over the next four or five days or so. >> lots of rain in store for folks in the sunshine state. >> you bet, guys. >> your full forecast in just a bit. >> all right. this looming storm comes with fears that it could make battling zika even harder. we have gabe gutierrez in florida with more on that. good morning, gabe. >> reporter: stephanie, good morning. any tropical storm could blow any mosquitoes out of the sky and could leave behind standing water. with more than 40 cases of home grown zika in florida so far, that is something health officials do not want to see. this morning, florida is bracing for a one-two punch mounting fears over zika and now potentially more rain from an

impending tropical system. >> you have to get rid of the standing water. >> reporter: that standing water could lead to more mosquitos. local officials are on alert urging residents to closely watch man-made containers. >> look at your property, drain it, cover it. >> reporter: there are more than 40 home grown cases of zika in four florida counties, but the vast majority of cases have been contracted by traveling outside the country. maria got it in venezuela. her daughter was born without microcephaly, the birth defect characterized by an abnormally small head. her mother says she's terrified about what the future might bring. a study out this week in the journal "radiology" suggests that babies born without obvious zika symptoms can have issues later. uncertainty about the impact prompted the cdc to say all

donald trump and hillary clinton trading accusations of bigotry. there's also been another round of rumors about hillary clinton's medical condition. but this morning, new revelations about donald trump's bill of health. >> reporter: everything americans know about donald trump's health was written in five minutes. >> five minutes to sit at this desk and write that letter while the driver waited. >> reporter: this is the letter from harold borenstein. donald trump's doctor for three decades. the 70-year-old republican nominee, his doctor wrote, the healthiest individual ever elected. he's now telling nbc news -- >> i try to get four or five lines done as fast as possible. that they would be happy with. >> reporter: it is the latest twist in the presidential campaign that many voters on both sides think stink. >> garbage. >> rotten eggs. >> reporter: trump spent the week pivoting back and forth on immigration. >> there could be a softening.

out of their way to paint trump's policies as bigoted or racist. they are not using the same brush to paint the entire gop that way. what are your campaign sources telling you about the strategy there? >> that's right, craig. she's specifically separating out republicans, conservatives, saying it's not the same as this bigoted rhetoric coming from donald trump's campaign. the goal is to normalize, say you voted republican your entire life. you don't feel like you can say to your neighbors, i voted for a democrat. hillary clinton's campaign wants people to say i am still a republican, but i will vote republican in the future, but this year i'm voting for hillary clinton. donald trump is not the same as the republican party. >> fascinating. your insight is fascinating. thank you, kaci. >> great to see you. maine's governor is coming under fire for an obscene voicemail he left on a democratic legislator's phone. it is the latest outburst to a governor who is no stranger to the spotlight. we have morgan radford with more. >> reporter: the maine governor

anthony slaughter has a look at the forecast. >> once the sun comes up, we'll see warming, but we have mild concerns right now. in lafayette. the clouds made the way all the way inland this morning, and, of course, once the clouds part, temperatures warm. really, it's a a slow go this morning. cloudy conditions that lead to at least some cooler weather as we get to the afternoon hours. 60s and 70s for us, back to the low 80s in livermore and palo alto in the 70s. yesterday, pretty much the same thing. we've been stuck in a great pattern at the coastline for about a month. we like to call it fogust. in september, things will change. >> fingers crossed. it's not far away, which is crazy.

thank you. colin kaepernick created headlines not for what he did on the field, but what he did off the field. before the niners-packers pre-season game last night, kaepernick did not stand for the national anthem. instead, he sat. there is not a video because during the pre-game ceremony, but the niners confirmed kaepernick did not stand, and the team issued the following statement reading in part, quote, the national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. in respecting such american prince. s as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose to participate or not in our celebration of the national anth anthem. in martinez this morning, the search on for a suspect who escaped custody. the woman made a run for it as the van transported her from the police department pulled up to county jail. she was due to be booked for vandalism and trespassing while a helicopter searched from

morning. such a crowd on the plaza. we will head out and say hello in a bit. first, the song of summer. we will get to it in a bit. dave? >> englebert humperdink. >> katy perry. ♪ cake by the ocean >> let's start with the threat in the caribbean. dave price from our station wnbc, in for dylan this morning. he is tracking the latest. what do you see? >> active in the atlantic. let's show you what we are talking about. let's walk over and look at the maps. this is what we are looking at. the one of immediate concern right now is this one over the southern bahamian islands. it is kind of sitting there. the question is does it strengthen into something more significant? chances are about 40% it will over the next five days.

much less 20% chance in the next 48 hours. a chance of formation. let's zoom in and see what is actually going to help it strengthen and what will get in its way or hindrance? the warm water right now is 90 degrees in the gulf. really able to explode this thing quickly. at the same time in the upper levels of the atmosphere, you have wind shear. that introduces drier air. that may weaken this. two models. one takes it out to the gulf. one brings it to florida. at this point, i think the most likely scenario is that it does not strengthen, but could bring upwards of 5 or more inches of rain. >> dave price, thank you. >> you bet. flash flooding swept through the streets of kansas city and indianapolis overnight. cars were quickly swamped as heavy rains stranded motorists

and pedestrians. crews rescued people from the rising waters. in indianapolis, the fast-moving floods carried cars away. look at this woman. she had to wade through waist-deep water to safety. breaking news overnight as the arrest is made in the stabbing deaths of two nuns. police took rodney earl sanders into custody and charged him with two counts of capital murder. the bodies of the nuns were discovered on thursday after they failed to show up at the clinic where they worked. and now to the doctor who wrote the letter about donald trump's health. dr. harold bornstein said he wrote the letter in five minutes. the doctor said he normally would not have used over the top phrases for a patient, but he probably picked up donald trump's language.

for hillary clinton today, meanwhile, it is briefing day. the first classified briefing as the democratic nominee. now to the utah missionary held in venezuela accused of being a spy and hiding weapons. a judge ruled that josh holt will remain in jail until september. his family is pleading for answers this morning saying josh is not doing well and needs help now. nbc's janet shamlian has more. >> reporter: his family says he is a teddy bear who spent two years doing missionary work. but the venezuelan government calls josh holt a spy. this morning, the newlywed is jailed in caracas. >> i will get him home. i will do whatever it takes. >> reporter: his mom says he left in june to marry a mellow mormon he met online.

he planned to bring her to the u.s. soon after he arrived, he was arrested. claiming to find two assault rifles and a grenade. >> what is the possibility those weapons belong to your son? >> zero. there were five people that are witnesses to it. they are so afraid. >> witnesses to what? >> to the police bringing the weapons in the apartment. >> reporter: it happened in the venezuela growing economic crisis. a socialist government criticized by human rights group for jailing political opponents. in a letter to his family, josh wrote, i am told i am here because i am american. >> a tiny family. >> reporter: josh's family says they cannot go it alone. asking the state department to do more. >> now we need the senior level of our government to step up and help us. >> reporter: venezuelan officials did not respond to an

nbc news request. in an televised statement called josh a u.s. intelligence agent and dangerous terrorist. >> if you could say anything to the government and the people who are holding your son in venezuela. >> please let him go. he's a good boy. >> reporter: a mother's plea seeking justice for josh. >> i just want him home. >> reporter: for "today," janet shamlian, nbc news, salt lake city. it may seem like yesterday we got to know the mccaugey septuplets. they will all go to college in missouri. they were offered a free ride when they were born. two going to a community college and one joined the army. congratulations to them. take a look at this. this is the badge of a nevada

highway patrol officer who was shot at a traffic stop last night. he says this is all that kept him alive because this is what the badge looked like before. take a look. as you can see, his badge stopped the bullet and he posted these pictures online with thoughts of gratitude. gratitude is the word of the day. it is in nevada. >> we don't talk a lot about the sacrifices of the officers are asked to make on a daily basis. that is evidence. dave price has made his way outside now. he has a look at the rest of the forecast and he has a crowd. >> you have to get out here later. we have a terrific crowd out here from all over the world. from england to pittsburgh to pennsylvania and nottingham. that location as well. georgia is represented. tennessee. iowa and all over the country. i bet you are asking what's the weather like.

let's look right now. go to the maps. as we begin to the day in the pacific northwest. nice and mild. a change from record setting highs we saw 24 hours ago. monsoon showers typical for this time of year in the southwest. that could bring heavy rains to portions of that region of the country. more rain along the texas coastline through the gulf coast states and into florida where you may see upwards of 5 inches of rain in the next 48 hours. midwest, we showed you the pictures from kansas city and rough stuff rolling through places like chicago and minneapolis as well. right here, it is gorgeous. that's a quick look at the good saturday morning to you. we'll see at cloudy start to the day. as you can see from the sky camera network from the north bay, san fransisco down to the south bay, clouds this morning. it'll be a cloudy start until lunchtime, and then we'll see clouds clear out. i think for the inland valleys,

clearing at least before 11:00, and everywhere else, it'll take longer. mostly cloudy in the city, though, dress accordingly. 65 there. 80s inland like the tri-valley and south bay. ack inside to you. >> thank you, dave. coming up, the power of a social media post. how one man went from having virtually zero customers at his restaurant to a line that stretched around the corner. and in pop start, box office and in pop start, box office bombs to top movies of the yearf the morning ritual around here. people rely on that first cup and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad, i couldn't sleep. i had trouble getting there on time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. for pain relief that can last into the morning. ♪ look up at a new day... hey guys! now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.
