story. the bitter cold that won't let up. the temperature keeps dropping, and believe it or not, we're not at our lowest low quite yet. the dangerous cold is now responsible for dozens of deaths across this country. nbc's morgan radford is in lower manhattan by a frigid hudson river. good morning to you. >> reporter: that's right. good morning. we can barely feel our fingers out here. it is less than ten degrees here in new york city. and residents up and down the east coast are waking up this morning trying to clean up after those plummeting temperatures and record flooding slammed parts of the northeast. at least 39 people have been reported dead, and thousands are waking up this morning without power. >> temperature's freezing. >> reporter: the bomb cyclone is gone, but the bitter cold remains. >> two layers of pants, boots, extra socks. >> reporter: as much as half the country is below freezing today. stormy mt. washington, new hampshire, expects the windchill

to reach 100 degrees below 0. so cold they say your eyelashes will freeze. more than three dozen people have died from exposure, accidents, and medical emergencies caused by removing snow. along the massachusetts shore, a sea of ice surrounding boats and homes, forcing dramatic rescues from flooded houses. a good samaritan pulling this scituate harbor master from the churning water. >> i saw him and said, i don't have much more time. i -- i can't hold on anymore. >> reporter: frozen pipes burst, adding to the severe damage. at a gloucester high school parking lot, 60 cars submerged in ice are now beyond repair. nationwide, 4,000 flights were canceled during the storm. boston and new york eventually got flights off the ground friday. but in the carolinas, with little or no snow equipment, charleston and greenville airports are struggling to get operations back. it's going to take the rest of

the weekend to straighten it out. >> they told us maybe we'll fly back on monday or on tuesday. >> reporter: this frozen waterfall is in western new york where windchills could reach 30 below. that's cold enough to cause frostbite to exposed skin in as little as ten minutes. double-digit windchills froze the water coming out of firefighters' hoses in pittsburgh friday morning. a 22-year-old man died in the blaze. that arctic blast is expected to make temperatures feel as cold as 30 below 0 in parts of the country this weekend. and that cold air is expected to plummet as those temperatures drop. back to you. >> all right. morgan radford for us in battery park city. the big question, people want to know when they're gaining relief. >> i know. it's going to last all weekend. then we'll turn the corner as we go into monday. when you've got windchills down around 20 below, it only takes 30 minutes for frostbite to kick in. you really need to cover extremities, and just stay inside as much as you can. take a look at this. 122 million people are under

some sort of windchill warning or windchill advisory, and the cold air continues to pour in. it's not just the cold temperatures, it's the gusty winds that's making it feel even colder. cleveland, the windchill is 17 below right now. >> narrato indianapolis, neefeels like 5 below. tomorrow, brutally cold windchills especially across new england. 21 below in burlington, vermont. it will feel like 10 below in new york. charleston will start at 4 degrees. looking at record low temperatures tomorrow morning. richmond, virginia, 7 degrees. that breaks the old record of 10. philly, 0, breaks the old record of 4. in new york, we will start off the day at 1 degree, the old record was 4 degrees. so the coldest is still yet to come. the coldest ever for tomorrow morning. >> all right. thank you. now to that massive mega millions drawing, and only one winning ticket sold. someone in florida is holding on to a $450 million dream after matching all of the numbers in

the mega millions drawing friday night. if it's not you, don't worry. you still have another shot to win that huge jackpot with the powerball drawing tonight. nbc's maya rodriguez is in miami. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, craig. you can probably see over my shoulder, the billboard shows that the mega millions jackpot has been reset. that is because one winning ticket worth $450 million was sold in florida, in port richie, outside of the tampa bay area. as you know, it could be one person, or it could be a group of people that bought that ticket. if you have not seen those numbers, take a look. it is 28-30-39-59-70, and the gold mega ball was 10. as you mentioned, this was a massive mega millions prize worth $450 million. the winner or group of winners, if that is the case, will have an option to get a lump sum, a

cash option of $280 million. this was the fourth largest mega millions jackpot and 11th largest in u.s. history. if you're not a mega millions winner like you mentioned, you have another chance tonight. that's because there will be a powerball drawing tonight worth even more, $570 million. that is the fifth largest powerball jackpot ever, and the seventh largest in u.s. lottery history. here's a question for you -- do you think you live in a lucky state? there are a couple of states where the top powerball wins happen most -- california, texas, and of course here in florida. again, if nobody wins the powerball tonight, the next jackpot would be $725 million. >> wow, maya, thank you. to politics and president trump spending the weekend at camp david meeting with congressional leaders to talk about what they hope to achieve this year. the meeting comes just one day

after a controversial new book about his administration was released. it's a book that the president says is full of lies. and he's attacking the author of the book once again overnight. nbc's white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is in the briefing room this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is so cold outside, we're inside this morning. and maybe there's some good heat going at camp david where the president is meeting with top lawmakers and several cabinet officials. one thing we know for sure, he did not leave behind his frustration over a form top aide's cooperation with a new book. he tweeted late into the night calling steve bannon a total loser, and claiming that he cried when he got fired and begged for his job. when the president left the white house friday -- >> we're going to camp david, we have a lot to work on, a lot of things to accomplish. >> reporter: -- he gave the cold shoulder to reporters. >> will steve bannon be fired, sir? >> reporter: he had already unleashed the heat on twitter about former chief strategist,

now-derided as "the leaker, sloppy steve bannon." who cooperated with the headline-grabbing book, "fire and fury," released four days early after the president's lawyer tried to block it. president trump insisted he gave author michael wolff "zero access. i never spoke to him for book." but wolff told savannah exclusively on "today" -- >> i absolutely spoke to the president. whether he realized it was an interview or not, i don't know. >> reporter: wolff writes that trump's inner circle questions his fitness to serve. >> let me put a marker in the sand here. 100% of the people around him. >> reporter: not secretary of state rex tillerson who said that assertion does not apply to him. >> i've never questioned his mental fitness. i have no reason to question his mental fitness. >> reporter: press secretary sarah sanders on the attack -- >> it's absolutely outrageous to make these types of accusations,

and it's simply untrue. >> reporter: former trump campaign aide sam nunnberg defended the president as capable but difficult. >> does not have any mental problems. he can be difficult to work for. he's a celebrity. >> reporter: he also admitted he probably called the president a "fool" as described in the book. >> i probably did say that. he's called me worse. >> reporter: while there's so much controversial about what's in this book, about the first year of the trump white house, white house officials are trying to draw attention to things they're working on. overnight they released photos of the meetings at camp david. and senior democrats say that the president proposed a request for $18 billion to fund his immigration border wall in exchange for trying to smooth the way for some young immigrants who were brought here illegally, trying to focus on what they're planning and a little bit less about the book. craig, sheinelle? >> thank you. it's not just the trump administration under the

spotlight this morning. we are learning more about an fbi investigation into the clinton foundation that's apparently been going on for months. this as two republican senators asked the justice department and the fbi to look into the man behind that very controversial and unsubstantiated report about the president and his ties to russia. we get more on that from nbc's jeff bennett in washington. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, craig. as you said, two major developments are now raising the stakes in the partisan battles over an fbi investigation involving hillary clinton and one of the congressional panels looking into russia's election meddling. this morning, two top republican senators investigating russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election are turning the tables, calling for a criminal investigation of christopher steele, the former british spy behind the now-infamous so-called trump dossier. the damning and disputed dossier contains explosive allegations

about president trump's purported links to russia. in a letter to the department of justice and fbi, senators chuck grassley and lindsey graham say steele may have misled federal investigators about his communications with the media about the dossier. democrats are dismissing it as a distraction from the ongoing russia probe. >> i have seen no evidence, none whatsoever, that would justify this criminal referral. seems more like an effort to distract from the real priority, what should be the priorities of the committee. >> reporter: adding to democrats' outrage, a revelation that the fbi has renewed an investigation into the clinton foundation. at issue, pregnawhether clinton foundation donors received favorable treatment from the department of state when hillary clinton was secretary of state. president trump's openly called for clinton to be investigated. branding his former rival "crooked hillary," and tweeting, "where is our justice

department?" a clinton spokesman calling the investigation a sham, adding, "the goal is to distract from the indictments, guilty pleas, and accusation of treason from trump's own people at the expense of our justice system's integrity." we've learned the fbi revived the investigation months ago. it's not clear whether there's any new evidence involved or if president trump's rhetoric prompted the fbi to reopen its probe of the clinton foundation. craig? >> jeff bennett, thank you. let's bring in phillip rucker, washington bureau chief at the "washington post." and an nbc news political analyst. phil, good morning. >> good morning. >> phil, let's start with the back here. one of the more troubling allegations in michael wolff's book is that the president is mentally unfit for office. when he talked to savannah yesterday, he said that according to steve bannon, he's totally lost it. you've got sources inside and close to the administration. does this jive with what you've heard, as well? >> well, the book's author paints a full portrait of what

we've heard in whispers and bits and pieces the last year in washington. we of course had senator bob corker from tennessee a few months back question the president's competence and fitness for the job. the book is a really devastating portrayal, bringing it together. and raising some alarms about the president's mental capacity. >> let's talk about steeb for a moment. not only -- steve bannon for a moment. not only is he a potential backer, is he done in washington or just wounded? >> i would say he's severely wounded now. i don't think anybody's done, especially in trump world where we see people rise and fall and rise again. but steve bannon losing the mercer family support, that is significant. they were his bankrollers, his financial backers. he was hoping to use their resources to become a powerful figure in shaping the midterm election this year. >> congressional republicans are on the attack, once again going

after the clintons, the clinton foundation. you have senator graham, senator grassley going after the guy who's behind this controversial dossier, recommending to the justice department that they file charges against christopher steele. what's this really about, phillip? >> well, i think they're both significant developments. in part, they're in response to the pressure that president trump has been exerting over the last several months to try to investigate the clintons, investigate the dossier, investigate all these other things that are separate from the russia probe underway with robert mueller into whether the trump campaign had any coordination or collusion with russian officials to impact the election last year. >> before you leave us, i want to ask about the kmempt president tru-- the economy. president trump is all about the economy, tweets about the low unemployment rate. 2017 saw the weakest job creation since 2010. is his economic success story all smoke and mirrors, or is it real? >> there is some real economic success over the last year.

it's also important to note that the economy didn't change completely when trump got elected. we've had a slow and steady recovery over several years, a lot of job growth and other successes in the late years of the obama administration that trump inherited and built upon. >> okay. thank you for your time. >> thank you. another headline this morning -- two planes collided at toronto's national airport overnight forcing passengers to evacuate via the emergency slides in freezing cold conditions. one plane with with 174 people on board was waiting to go to a gate when it was struck by another jet being towed away from the gate. flames erupted on the wing of the packed plane. luckily no one was hurt. one first responder was hurt. an investigation is underway. >> scary. dylan has a look at the rest of the country's forecast. >> it's all about the cold since so many people are dealing with the cold this morning. some areas it's a little bit warm

expect to see more scattered showers throughout the early morning hours. we've still got this pressure of low system right here moving on through within the last hour or so. san jose has seen a couple of showers. santa cruz can expect to see more rain but right now the most rain over monterrey. as we head into the afternoon, those temperatures are expected to be on the mild side into the upper 50s, lower 60s for most areas. right now, temperatures remain fairly mild in santa rosa. >> that's your latest forecast. >> thank you. still ahead, apple alert. what you need to do to your phone and other apple devices right now to make sure your information is safe. and it's the most unpredictable awards show around. we'll preview tomorrow's golden globes and what's been an earthshaking year in hollywood. first, this is "today" on nbc. golden globe in w

. we're back on a saturday morning with the download. our look back at the week that was. >> all the wild weather and the firestorm over that trump book dominating the news, there were a lot of other stories we covered as well starting with huge celebrations to ring in 2018. massive crowds all around the world welcomed in 2018. another cause for celebration, the dow hitting 25,000 for the first time ever. >> we've got an economy that's firing on all cylinders, not just here in the u.s. but around the world. >> deputies responding to a disturbance call in colorado were ambushed by a hail of gunfire. >> we have one deputy down inside the apartment. all of us have been hit at least

once. >> 37-year-old matthew riehl, a former lawyer and soldier unleashing bullets and killing 29-year-old deputy zachary parish. riehl was killed in the shootout. a deadly plane crash in costa rica left a dozen people dead including ten americans. >> it came up and beared to the left and nose dived right in front of us. >> their family and friends back home devastated. >> she could do things and move people. >> amanda, i love you to death. the new year welcomed in new laws including the legalization of recreational marijuana in california. and for many this means big business. >> i think we're going to see tons of related cuisine. >> from catering to delivery service and even manicures. one snag, the justice department just rescinded an obama era

policy that urged the feds to go easy on marijuana prosecutions now raising fears of a crackdown. how is this for an election nail biter? two candidates for the virginia statehouse tied. the election was decided by drawing the winner's name out of a bowl. >> the winner of house district 94 is david yancy. >> the luck of the draw helped the republicans keep control of the house in virginia. some very memorable moments caught on camera this week. in the coldest of conditions. gusty winds blew the roof right off this new jersey gas station during the first snowstorm of 2018. this police officer outside dallas slipped and fell on a busy highway narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic. and across the country a few brave souls braved the bitter temperatures for the annual

polar plunge. >> announcer: this is "today". and finally, an announcement that had all of us here smiling from ear to ear. hoda kotb named co-anchor of "today." >> this has to be the most popular decision nbc news has ever made and i am so thrilled. >> i am pinching myself. >> you are a partner and a friend and a sister and i am so happy to be doing this. >> there's no one i'd rather be sitting next to in 2018. >> amen to that. >> so exciting. >> i was just saying i had said to hoda that it's just proof that good things happen to good people because she's such a good-hearted woman. >> when i go on vacation, i never completely unplug, but the one night, i said i'm not checking my e-mail, put an away message on and i woke up to all of these texts. >> there is no one with a more generous and kind spirit.

>> very, very true. >> looking forward to waking up with her. >> still to come, a warning from top health officials about this year's dangerous and deadly flu season. what you can do to protect dwrou yourself and your family. plus we are moments away about finding out the three lucky women who will join team usa's figure stating team. we'll have

good saturday morning to you. the first saturday of 2018. here's a live look outside. in san jose at the s.a.p. center, where we have a lot of action happening right now. good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at that microclimate forecast. >> yeah, the radar is still showing plenty of activity. we've still got a system that's kind of trailing through parts of the bay area right now but further south, actually, through the santa cruz mountain area, might still be seeing some lingering showers. monterrey right now, all the way through modesto and stockton. but we can expect to keep the chance of slight showers at least through the 10:00 a.m. hour for today. we've already seen a little bit of that rain through san jose as well, but for now, it looks like the majority of those cells are

sticking out further to the south. but it doesn't look like we're in the clear of rain just yet. we are tracking an atmospheric river that is expected to bring a significant apt of much-needed rain to the bay area, but that isn't playing until next week. i'll let you know exactly what day we can expect. the temperatures are fairly mild right now, but we are expecting a slightly cooler afternoon thanks to a cold front. >> all right, we'll look forward to that and stay tuned with you at 7:00. this morning, san francisco will begin selling recreational marijuana. the state issued licenses to a handful of dispensaries in san francisco just last night. that means sales to adults 21 and older will begin in just a few hours from now. store operators say they are anticipating a lot of new customers. one shop in the mission is stocked up and fully stafd. >> we definitely did the best that we could with the funds that we had, and relationships that we had, to make sure that we have enough inventory for everybody.

>> remembericreational marijuane legal but the san francisco board of directors didn't approve regulations for recreational pot sales until last month. the city is still completing application inspections. several more are waiting for approval. acting san francisco mayor london breed officially announced she wants the job permanently. breed announced she will run for mayor in the june election. as president of the board of directors, breed became acting mayor after mayor ed lee's sudden death last month. >> i decided that after careful consideration and just taking all of the things that i've been thinking about over the years and the work that i've done in the city, yes, i'm going to do it. i'm going to run for mayor. and i'm excited. >> yesterday, breed spoke with reporters at a community clean-up at a san francisco playground. she joins a very crowded field,

including former state senator marx leno, supervisor jane kim, and former sf supervisor angela alioto. city attorney david herrera is considering a run. the election is june 5th. coming up this morning on "today in the bay," a book that is infuriating the white house. what we're learning this morning. the stories inside that are making president trump so upset. that, plus all your top stories and weather coming up at 7:00. we hope you join us. in the meantime, back to the "today" show.

we are back on this saturday morning, january 6, 2018. it is frigid. very frigid morning. so cold we have a few brave souls. i pg ythink you should go out t and do something. >> we are. let's start the half hour with a check of the head lilines and t bone chilling cold putting millions at risk. bone chilling. >> two layers of pants, boots, extra socks. >> dangerously cold temperatures from florida to maine this morning. nearly half the country below freezing. and massachusetts residents recovering from the nor easter earlier this week. the winter weather brought out

the kid in some south carolina cops who had a snowball fight. just one winning ticket sold in the mega millions lottery. if you bought yours at the 7/11 in port richie florida, you may be rich. 70, 59, 30, 28, 39 and the mega ball is 10. moving ahead a michigan judge will allow the brother of jonbenet ramsey to keep going with his lawsuit against cbs. he claims they ruined his reputation after it aired a series blaming him for the murder of his 6-year-old sister. tina johnson has lost her home in a fire. >> at this point, it doesn't matter to me who did it or whatever. it's gone. >> authorities are investigating the fear as arson but believe it is not connected with johnson's claims against moore. >> snap crackle, caught. officers in freezing cold columbus ohio watch a runaway

pig with the help of some rice crispies. back inside today, january 6, 2018. i guess that pig really loved rice crispies. >> good response. i didn't have anything to say on that one. >> we should probably keep going. apple is facing new problem this is morning. if you own an iphone or mac, you'll want to listen closely. the company is scrambling to cle release a new update to fix a security threat. nbc steve patterson has more. >> reporter: today apple is going to reinvent the phone. >> reporter: it was the golden age of apple. crowds out the door, revenue through the roof, and the tech world hanging on to steve jobs' every word. >> i think it's crappy. >> reporter: lately problems

plaguing the brand have people questioning if the supreme see might be over. >> we have iphones at home and mac books. >> the latest security flaws in memory chips found in the hardware of billions of devices and not just apple. in a statement apple says all mac systems and ios devices are affected but there are no known exploits plaguing customers. >> it's kind of scary. i have so much personal info. >> it comes right after the discovery that the batteries of older iphones were slowing down after an update. now offering $29 in store battery replacement. >> i don't see this being the fatal flaw that lets some other company come in and steal the iphone's crown. >> but apple's recent issues have competitors like samsung seizing on the opportunity to attract new customers. their galaxy phone ads are a

direct dig. yet for all their competitors posturing, sales haven't slipped. this holiday apple beat out all other manufacturers. more than 40% of new device activations had an i in front of their names. proof that despite a few flaws apple still reins. a major health warning this morning concerning the flu. the centers for disease control says nearly 40 states now are reporting moderate to high flu activity. so far the flu season the number of cases is far higher than last year and it could get worse. >> natalie is here with advice about how to keep you and your family safe. >> dr. natalie, we hear about the flu every year. it seems as if there's the problem. what's different this year? >> there's a few ways to have a bad flu season. one is you have increased flu activity. the other way is to actually have a strain that's predominates that's particularly dangerous and that the vaccine

doesn't cover that well. guess what, we're kind of having the perfect storm of that. we're having increased activity. we are having a vaccine that's covering a couple different strains and the one predominating is the one not covered by the vaccine. as you pointed out, we have over 40,000 cases reported now as opposed to 14,000 cases last year at this time. >> here's the challenge. if you say the vaccine, we hear it's 10% effective, there are so many who say i won't get a flu shot. >> exactly. if you get a flu shot, it's going to cover three or four different strains. the 10% number is referring to one particular strain that's covered in those vaccines. it happens to be one of the more dangerous strains so that's important. the other strains are getting covered about 50% to 60%. if you're getting a shot chances are you're getting covered for the other strains.

we believe the flu shot makes it less severe. >> it's not too late. >> absolutely. >> one of the explanations we're seeing the numbers is perhaps it has peaked a little earlier. flu season lasts well into spring and we would expect cases to continue until february. it takes two weeks for the flu shot to kick in. you still get it now. you'll get your antibodies in two weeks. you will be protected and you'll protect other people in your community who are more vulnerable to getting sick from the flu. >> what should you do if you still get the flu? >> if you think you've come down with the flu, the first thing do is pick up the phone and call your doctor. should you get tested? sometimes it's a false negative. you either get tested for the flu or you get started on anti-viral medicine preferably within the first 48 hours. there are a couple different ones that are available. >> thank you so much. dylan, should we talk about this cold again? another check of the weather.

>> we are going to see the cold and more snow move through parts of midwest. the storm is still sitting up here in canada. this is going to dive down and bring snow to areas like in indianapolis. it's also going to pick up moisture. the comp nbination of these mea snow for chicago. on monday we could see a couple of lighter snow showers across the rest of the northeast and lake effect snow will kick in as well. it's a clipper system so it's fast moving but we could see a quick one to 2 inches of snow. off of lake erie and we could see up to 10 inches, especially in those areas that are used to seeing that lake effect snow. that is certainly going to be an issue as we go into monday morning. the rain on the southern side and we're still expecting a bit of a wet start here across the bay area. you can see we've got a system

moving through, but right now, the majority of that rain is sticking further off to the south all the way through stockton and we can expect to keep some of those lingering showers. san jose has seen some of those showers pushing through. these rain chances will continue at least through the 10:00 a.m. hour, making for a much cooler afternoon but as of right now, we're starting off on a mild note. still ahead, actor alec wall baldwin opening up about fatherhood, spending time with his kids and a common complaint. and managing your ♪when you've got...♪

sure you're doing the right thing. tim is the director of personal finance. always good to see you. first things first, interest rates going up this year. that means that folks who have some debt means the debt could be going up as well. how should we be prioritizing our debt? >> we are about good debt/bad debt. it's bad debt and better debt. there's no great debt at all. the worst debt is that which is unsecured and resolving. that's like credit cards and personal loans. it's designed to keep you in debt and interest rates tend to be very high. that's the debt we want to go after first. >> the tax plan wepeople are wondering -- did you have another one? >> no. >> if you live in a high tax state people want to know how they can save money with this new tax plan. >> one thing we learned about the tax plan is there's a lot over which we do not have control. up until hours before the bill was passed, major pieces of that that could change our lives were moving in and out.

there are still things we can control. the 401 k, we reduce our taxes today. then i also recommend maxing out the match, that's the free money you get from your employer, and then begin looking at the roth ira where you're taking after-tax money but it's going to benefit you tax free in the future. that way you have something you can control in those circumstances. >> a lot of families this time of year, they start to create their family budget. are there certain tools out there that you might recommend for families who are looking at creating a budget for their household? >> the most important thing for success financially in a household is your cash flow system. that means we have to bring up the "b" word, budget. i think that there are a couple gri great tools out there. mint.com or you -- others. >> can i ask you about saving accounts? there have been a lot of people

who say the saving account interest rates are so low it's not worth it. would you recommend a good old fashioned savings account? >> we don't save in savings accounts to make money. that's what investing in our retirement account is for. since the year 2000 we've seen interest rates decline. banks are going to be slow to increase those. however, you can make more if you look at fdic insured online banks. there you have an opportunity to make a little bit more interest than with the brick and mortars that have that additional overhead. >> there continues to be a lot of talk. it seems each day we're breaking records with the dow or nasdaq or one of the other markets. is it too late for folks to get in now and still make some money on stocks? >> it's too late to get in on the over 50 plus record highs from 2017. it is. but if you're investing for the long term, it's never too early. people ask me if i get in now and the market goes down, that's

possible. perhaps even likely. but if you're investing for 10, 20, 30 years down the road, it doesn't matter what the market looks like a day or a year from now. it matters what it looks like in the future. >> what are some other things to keep in mind as we look to get our personal finances in order? >> don't spread yourself too th thin. if you're going to make a couple moves, find one or two good tools that can help you and then stick with that. remember why you're doing this. to reduce your stress. that will hopefully keep you motivated. >> i like mint because it connects all of your accounts. >> dylan, what's coming up next? >> we're going to tell you about the change that's ♪ ♪

good saturday morning. it is 5:56. here's a live look outside at the san mateo bridge. on this saturday morning, some slick roads out there. let's check in with vianey arana to see what our microclimate forecast looks like for this weekend. >> yeah, so, you know, an overnight cold front kind of swept in, and it brought a system that kind of triggered up some lingering showers again overnight and that's why you may encounter some wet roads out there. here's a live look at that doppler radar. this is picking up information as it comes in and we have plenty of moisture left on that map. san jose can expect to see lingering showers at least through the early morning hours which means maybe 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, it will taper off quite nicely. same for the santa cruz mountains but right now the

majority of the system is located over the monterrey area, out toward the stockton and modesto area. as far as san francisco, well, they're not getting as much of the rain, but that doesn't mean that we're not expecting any more rain because we are tracking an atmospheric river that is expected to bring a significant amount of rainfall as we head into monday so tune in at 7:00 a.m. because i'll have a closer look at how much rain we'll be expecting and much needed rain in fact. >> tune for for that at 7:00. vianey, thanks. this morning, san francisco will begin selling recreational marijuana. the state issued licenses to a handful of dispensaries in the city just last night. that means sales to adults 21 and holder will begin in just a few hours. store operators say they're anticipating a lot of new customers. one shop in the mission is stocked up and fully staffed. >> we definitely did the best that we could with the funds that we had and relationships that we had to make sure that we have enough inventory for everybody.

>> recreational marijuana became legal in california january 1st, but the san francisco board of supervisors didn't approve regulations until last month and that postponed sales. the city is still completing applicant inspections. at this point, seven dispensaries are licensed by the state in the city. several more are awaiting approval. acting san francisco mayor london breed officially announced she wants that job permanently. breed announced she will run for the mayor position in the june election. as president of the board of supervisors, breed became acting mayor after ed lee's sudden death last month. >> i decided that after careful consideration, and just taking all of the things that i've been thinking about over the years and the work that i've done in the city, that, yes, i'm going to do it. i'm going to run for mayor. and i'm excited. >> yesterday, breed spoke with reporters at a community clean-up at a san francisco

we are back on a saturday morning with a preview of tomorrow night's golden globe awards. hollywood "a" listers will be out in force. >> the night is usually about fun and having a good time. in light of the sexual harassment scandals that have rocked the industry, this year's show could have a much different tone. here's more. >> the golden globes, the most outrageous awards show in hollywood. >> only at the golden globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat faced people of television. >> with more stars per capita, and an open bar, a combination that lends itself to spontaneity, laughs. and memorable moving moments.

but the biggest party of the year will likely take a different tone. sunday's globes mark the first major award show after the harvey wine ste harvey weinstein scandal. >> this is coming right after the formation of the time's up initiative. 300 of the most influential women in hollywood saying the harassment ends now. reese witherspoon, jessica chastain and meryl streep all expected to make a statement on the red carpet. >> a lot of the founders of time's up are going to be at the golden globes. >> their first big call to action is for women to wear black on the red carpet. the red carpet is a place of huge gender and equality. it's where men are usually asked about their work and women are asked about what they're wearing. >> unlike years past, expect fewer questions like this. >> who you wearing? >> and more about why they're wearing it. >> perhaps first time host seth

mye myers sums it up best. >> "a fish out of water" drama leads the pack with seven nominations. then there's "the post". >> do you have the papers? >> about the pentagon papers. it follows along, the films are tied with six nominations. and two independent films both by first time directors have charmed critics this season. >> i want to go where culture is like new york. or at least connecticut. >> as for tv "big little lies" dominates with six nods. >> come monday, what are the headlines going to read? >> the headlines are going to read that it is the time of the woman. >> all shaping up to be an evening even hollywood couldn't script. for "today", nbc news, new york.

>> and our man aaron davis is here. eric of course managing editor of fandango. always good to you have. let's start with the film side, best drama. >> i'm leaning towards "the post" starring meryl streep and tom hanks. it's captivating. it's very of the moment. themes of free press which is a hot topic. the press love stories of journalism heroics. it's got a lot of prestige. but watch for "the shape of water." this is a beautiful fairy tale creature feature. love story, bold, romantic. i think it's a film that should win. >> let's talk about best musical or comedy. >> i'm going with "lady bird." it is authentic.

it is so well written. wa watch out for "get out". it has a lot of momentum coming into the golden globes. these movies represent their solo directorial debuts. >> the best actress category, you say this year, this is probably the most exciting category to watch. >> yeah, i think. so for drama it's going to be between sally hawkins and franc francis mcdormand. sally hawkins doesn't really have any lines. she plays a mute woman so her performance is through expression. i am going with sally hawkins. i was blown away by her performance. the supporting category is my favorite. we have two women who play tough mothers. i think it's going to be a toss up between laurie metcalf and allison jannie. even though you don't like her, you can't stopwatching. neither have won a golden globe.

the last time laurie metcalf was for "roseanne". >> who do you think takes the best drama series? >> well, it's the year of the woman, so no "game of thrones." i'm going with "the hand maid's tale." it feels like a show of the moment right now. i think elizabeth mos who stars is also going to win best actress. season two if you're a big fan, coming out in april. >> i just birnge watched it. >> really quickly on the tv side, best musical or com doe. >> i am absolutely in love with this show. it is on amazon. i think it's fantastic. if you haven't seen this show, get your amazon. >> it's a fun time. thank you so much.

>> the golden age of tv and film. >> you watch the 75th annual golden globes tomorrow night right here on nbc. >> you're headed out for it? >> right after the show. >> coming up next, it's the 50 week of the year. have you made any resolutions yet? if so we're going to help you make some changes that will get your new year's started right. it's it's time for sleep number's 'lowest prices of the season' on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? right now our queen c4 mattress is only $1199, save $400. ends soon. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you.

down, it can actually help you burn up to 300 calories per day. the early 1900s the temperature was 62 degrees. what is it in your house? >> 72. >> so turn the temperature down. maybe put a sweater on. you can burn calories just sitting there. >> you also suggest using a piece of equipment in your house in an unconventional way. >> sure. if you want to get your spine to decompress, you actually hang from something in your house. if you have a pullup par, you're lifting heavy loads, you want to get that spinal fluid up and down the column so you're not starting from cold. >> there's always a lot of talk surrounding super foods. garlic? >> garlic is good for you. next time you cut the garlic leave it out for about five minutes. some of the compounds are going to have time to activate a little bit longer. one everybody's been waiting for. kale is stale.

one thing guys need to know. >> slim fit. not guilty sloppy. >> skinny jeans or slim fit. >> skinny jeans, a little bit of ankle showing. perfect fit on the arms and shoulders. >> craig, you got needles. essential for vinyl, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well.

ahead. if you didn't wake up early enough to catch the rain, you might still get a chance at some lingering showers over the next couple hours. live look at the doppler radar. the majority of that system is off to the east, so it was coming down from the north but now the majority of it is sitting just south of the bay area. we can expect to still continue to see the possibility of lingering showers, especially for the santa cruz mountains and the monterey area. right now, though, one thing you will notice, it's not very cold outside. especially in the san francisco and the south bay area, even inland in concord, 50 degrees. now, the north bay, typically waking up to colder temperatures, 39 in santa rosa, 40s overall but it looks like we are expecting a mainly clear and cool afternoon once that system moves out. i should say, partly clear. look at the temperature trend as we head into the afternoon. by 12:00, we're talking upper 50s eventually into the 60s and we are expecting to be cooler but i do have a look ahead at that atmospheric river so tune in because we have a lot of rain on the way. >> we need it. stis is great.
