what may be the best hope to prevent a disaster that may be looming. officials say if that emergency spillway gave way a 30-foot wall of water would come cascading down into communities downstream. that of course would be a catastrophe. they hope to avoid that. they have a long day of work ahead. >> miguel, thanks very much. this morning a powerful winter storm is hammering new england. a second round of heavy snow and high winds for a region hit hard last week. once again there are problem airports coast to coast. we'll get al's forecast in a moment. first, blake mccoy is in portland, maine. good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. it's a ghost town in portland, maine, the only vehicles we've seen are snow plows as conditions are very dangerous. everyone else staying home this morning. it is deja vu for this part of the country, still digging out from last week's snow. blizzard conditions once again this morning in the northeast.

>> reporter: maine could get hit the worst seeing up to two feet of snow. now back out here live in maine, i want to show you how big the snow banks are. you can see more than waist high on me. the snow will taper off, the big concern are winds, because they will have potential to pick up this snow and create blowing and drifting, more hazards for drivers. >> al is in ohio. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we'll tell you why we're here in a bit. i was stuck on a runway at laguardia over two hours, a lot of flights canceled. what we've got now, the current radar shows we've got more snow, still pounding maine, lighter snow around the great lakes on into boston. but as you can also see we're going to be looking at this storm pulling away with strong winds, potential blizzard conditions, along the new england coastline. as the storm moves away, the

gusts will continue, it's going to make for hazardous travel. the snowfall amounts right now on top of what's fallen another 8 to 12 inches of snow in northern maine, portland will see another 2 to 4 inches and 57 million people affected by the winds from the spine of the appalachians up to new england, warning areas 50 to 60 miles per hour winds, the watch areas from 40 to 50-mile-per-hour winds and that's going to cause major airport delays continuing from new england all the way down to washington, d.c. >> all right, al, thank you. more in a couple of minutes. let's turn to politics and a host of new concerns facing president trump. including mounting questions about national security adviser michael flynn's future in the administration. nbc national correspondent peter alexander at the white house with the latest on this. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the president today is juggling several significant issues demanding attention, questions of what to do about his

immigration order that is in legal peril, questions about north korea and questions about his national security adviser with one white house official telling me this morning that some aides are encouraging president trump to consider firing michael flynn. back in the nation's capital president trump facing a new foreign test, during his one on one weekend with japan's prime minister in palm beach. the two men reacting after north korea's missile launch over the weekend. this new video of the test released overnight. >> you know what happened? >> reporter: in a joint appearance shinzo abe calling it intolerable. mention trump added. >> i want everybody to understand and fully know that the united states of america stands behind japan, its great ally, 100%. >> reporter: in mexico, thousands protesting president trump's plans for a border wall with a new round of immigration

raids in the u.s. officials announcing hundreds of arrests in at least six states. the operations described as routine focused on criminals. but families fear its part of a broader new crackdown. >> with donald trump being president i see no hope for us. >> reporter: with the president's controversial travel ban on hold the white house to unveil. steven miller who wrote the executive order also lashing out at the courts. >> we have a judiciary that has taken far too much power and become in many cases a supreme branch of government. >> reporter: his boss great job. the future of another aide michael flynn who is no longer denying that before taking office he may have spoke tune the russian ambassador about sanctions imposed by president obama. >> is the president have confidence in his national security adviser? >> that's a question that i think you should ask the

president. the question you should ask reince the chief of staff it's a sensitive matter. >> reporter: repeating the false assertion that president trump lost the popular vote due to massive voter fraud doubling down that thousands of massachusetts residents were bussed into new hampshire to vote illegally. >> i can tell you this issue of bussing voters in to new hampshire is widely known by any one who has worked in new hampshire politics. >> reporter: miller offered no evidence of fraud whatsoever. more on michael flynn, the top democrat on the house oversight committee the fbi and intelligence committee should investigate flynn's conversations and whether flynn encrypted those and an effort to avoid monitoring here at the white house president trump will host justin trudeau, the two will have a news conference together. >> all right, peter, thank you. jeremy bash is an nbc news

security analyst who served at the c, a and defense department and alise jordan was the communications director for the national security council, during george w. bush's administration. good morning. that answer from steven miller to chuck on the fate or confidence in michael flynn, did it sound like a bit of a straight arm? >> that was not a robust defense. if the i were mike flynn i'd be very worried about my standing at the white house with president trump. >> let's talk about why, jeremy. if he had this conversation with the russian ambassador prior to the inauguration and if they spoke about those newly imposed sanctions from the obama administration, how serious a mistake was that? >> talking to the russian ambassador may not be that serious. the question is why did they try to conceal it and perhaps the reason is because the conversation happened on december 29, the very day that the obama administration imposed those sanctions, so clearly he was signalling to the russians hey, when we come in we're going to do things differently. that's not something i think

that the in-coming trump administration wants to acknowledge. >> there is another piece, he misled the vice president. he said that no sanctions or they didn't discuss those so there is a serious credibility issue. >> that's the huge issue i think more so than the communications with the russian ambassador, it's does vice president mike pence who staked his own integrity on what general flynn told him, does he have confidence in the national security adviser. so i think that internally in the white house this is going to be a battle pitting mike flynn up against the vice president. >> can mike flynn survive as national security adviser? >> i think 24 days in he has become the story and you've got north korea trying to launch missile tests, no. >> i think it's hard. the national security crisis piling up. we had a missile launch, from iran, a counter terrorism raid in yemen that's gone poorly, we had a travel ban that's rolled out in a botched fa thetion. they need the a team there. i'm not sure they have it. >> back to north korea.

we talked about the days before the inauguration you said new presidents, new administrations always get tested whether from a terror group or foreign adversary. it seems north korea wants to test this president in the form of a missile, how serious is it? >> it's a serious matter because they launched it into the sea of japan toward our ally japan. but the president when he made his statement saturday i think was kind of too short. he kept it to only 125 characters. he actually could have been more expansive. he should have said i think that we should defend our ally south korea where we have 28,000 troops and we condemn these launches. >> we have a tweet. north korea just stated that it is in the final stables of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the u.s., it won't happen. he drew a line in the sand d. this launch cross that line? >> it's interesting because he drew the line, then when he spoke in his statement he actually was quite hesitant and

receipt is sent to stake out a line in the sand again. that said i think that he -- that was the smart approach actually because this is a provocation by the north koreans, the new administration has to get their hands around the challenge. i don't think a hasty response is necessary. >> the white house created a statement for the president but he didn't deliver it. he said i'm standing by japan. i think he should have gone further. >> all right. thank you both very much. >> let's switch gears and talk about last night's grammy awards. the biggest names out in force. one star stole the show. adele. natalie is in los angeles. good morning to you. >> we're all talking about adele's performance, good morning to you. in a year where award shows, the grammys no exception. add in performances from some of the biggest names and the excitement of live television and the result was one unpredictable and entertaining night. opening the show with a big

hello. ♪ hello from the other side >> closing it out on a higher note taking home five grammys including album of the year and record of the year. perhaps the most shocked about the sweep adele herself giving an emotional tribute to another star. >> beyonce and this album. the album was just so monumental. you are a light and the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel is impowering and you make them sand up for themselves and i love you. i always have and i always will. >> earlier the singer asked for a redo after stumbling to a trib >> can we start it again. i'm sorry, i can't mess this up for him. >> receiving a standing ovation on her second try. technical difficulties plaguing

metalli metallica. a broken microphone with lady gaga. performances that went off without a hitch a crowded carpool karaoke to sweet caroline with james corden and a few famous friends. newcomer chance the rapper after winning three grammys a first for a streaming only album. and of course beyonce, baby bump and all, sending people buzzing with this move all part of a flawless 9-minute set. bringing the crowd including husband jay-z and daughter blue ivy to their feet. adding two more grammys to her collection delivering a message at the mike. >> i feel it's vital we learn from the past and recognize our tendencies to repeat our mistakes. >> this were other calls to action throughout the night, the loudest from a tribe called quest. >> president agent orange. perpetuate the evil. >> also celebrating legends lost. >> acknowledge the passing of a

voice for the ages. alsprks jarreau. >> and brew no mars had the house rocking. >> one tiny fan who stole the show last night with her own tribute to prince you saw jay-z and beyonce's daughter chaneling perhaps the singer with that mini prince inspired ruffled suit. one of the best moments of the night happened after the cameras stopped rolling. don't know if you saw this. when adele's grammy broke into two pieces some saying maybe an accident, others thinking perhaps she was trying to share part of the award with beyonce. she wanted to give it to her. but i do have to say that moment with adele when she stopped mid song and tribute to george michael was a teachable moment. i was talking to my kids and i said see guys, you don't give up, sometimes things aren't going you start over and do it again. >> true.
