stronger storms tomorrow, shifting back into the northwest including minneapolis, including omaha. stretching into kansas, too. here's the setup we have the warm front move through. if you are on the east coast, you know how humid and stifling it feels then you have an approaching cold front there will be pop-up type thunderstorms, but keep an eye to the skies watch for dark cloud listen for the rumbles of thunder and get indoors until those storms pass because they could be severe. then the cold front will clear the area as we go into tomorrow. 4th of july looks better, less humid and lesser chance of storms as for rainfall, we could se three inches of rain across new england. and especially tomorrow with that second round of storms, we could see three inches of rain that could lead to flooding concerns, too. >> thank you so much we'll check in in a few minutes with the full forecast. also this morning, breaking news from the occupied west

paddle boarder who was followed by a hammerhead shark. for all the fun and frolics at beaches nationwide, sharks. >> i really like going to the beach, especially with my family and it is kind of scary the fact of the shark attacks happening we stay in a group we don't go as far. >> reporter: despite the highly unlikely shark scenario, there were only 41 unprovoked shark attacks in the u.s. all of last year. florida has been struck by three incidents in a little over a week that includes this 12-year-old visiting from philadelphia who foun a shark latched on to her leg, requiring 50 stitches. >> it hurts like incredibly bad. it was really, really painful. and i wasn't expecting it. it was so scary. >> reporter: and a freaky following. >> come to the side. >> reporter: whose 80-mile

paddle boarding trip to rais money for cystic fibrosis was briefly interrupted by a hammer head shark you look so calm what was going on as you were coming toward the boat >> it was instinct fight or flight. in my situation, ignorance is bliss. i didn't see the size of the shark. i didn't see how close it was at that time. >> reporter: marine biologists quick to point out that we're in their home more often than not, sharks are just surveying their surroundings. >> does it pose a threat or is it potential food? when sharks follow people or come over to check them out, that's merely an animal being curious. >> reporter: still not all encounters end harmlessly. last month first responders rescued a man who was bitten while spear fishing. a 35-year-old sustained a foot injury fishing off a dock. florida leading the nation in unprovoke the shark bites. although, this video shows a great white scooping up a fisherman's catch, proving that the predators can be lurking

just about anywhere. since 2013, the average number of unprovoked bites is 74. guys, that's a number we have been below the last couple of years. this year we're on pace to beat that. >> sam, if you are going to head into the water at some point this summer, anything you can do to scan for sharks >> reporter: yeah. there is a few things that are actually common sense, but you should definitely do stay in clear water so the sharks can see better. if you see fish jumping or birds diving, it means there could be a predator lurking nearby. try to avoid swimming near piers. or areas where people are fishing. that, too, can attract the bait. but guys, the smithsonian and expert say the odds of a shark seeing you and passing you is 99.9% so you and your family should feel safe this weekend. >> my favorite tip for surviving a shark attack, stay out of the

water. >> i'm holding on to the fact that he said the odds are very low. we want to tell you about a scary scene at an amusement park in north carolina. a big crack was caught on camera by a man who had just been on that ride with his family. more on what happened and what we should know about amusement park safety. good morning this is a scary one. >> yeah, absolutely. good morning to you both good news here, no one was hurt. now the ride is shut down indefinitely with state officials on the ground today to begin an investigation it sends guests soaring into the skies. it comes as tens of millions of americans turn to summer parks for amusement fun. this morning new questions swirling about safety, after this alarming video of a giant crack in a roller coaster

support beam causing it to go outwards as thrill-seekers round the curve. jeremy wagner, who took the video, was shocked at what he could saw. >> i'm like, i can see light through. i'm not an engineer, but that's not good. >> reporter: wagner quickly told park security and the fire marshall, and the ride was shut down indefinitely. writing in a statement, safety is our top priority, and we appreciate the patience and understanding of our valued guests during this process. >> it makes me second guess on getting on a roller coaster now. >> reporter: its website tauts it as the tallest, fastest, longest coaster in america this photo taken by a park visitor just a week earlier appears to show the cracks starting to form the coaster has been operating since 2015

and fury 325 and all of its rides undergo daily inspections. >> how did it get to this point and people are on that ride. >> reporter: it is putting the spotlight on ride safety just as amusement parks are starting the summer visitor crush last year, this 14-year-old fell out of a drop tower seat and died in orlando. but despite the harrowing incident, the president of premier ride says safety measures are rigorous. >> the same types of tools used in aerospace engineering are used in the theme park industry. >> reporter: for jeremy wagner, he says his family won't be worried to get back on when it is fixed. >> i would like to think there are safety protocols and fixing the issue would be secure enough >> reporter: nbc news reached out about that photo taken in late june, but they did not late june, but they did not directly address it.

charlotte police say they are confident to the commitment to safety the chances of being seriously injured on a ride are incredibly small. 1 in 15.5 million according to industry analysis. >> i'll be there, too. that's a fun place. >> carowinds was my theme park growing up right on the borde between north and south carolina. >> good memories, i'm sure. >> yes, yes. thank you. the boys of summer the new york yankees joining us on the plaza this morning to shine a spotlight on some local heroes. looking forward to that. up next, we will take a look at the deals luring crowds to the outlet mall this weekend it is a popular time for clothing sales but how good a are they rereally whwhat you neeeed to know w com right afafter this

>> reporter: good morning. those sales events are pretty enticing, enough to draw the whole family to the outlets. but are you getting a better deal there or do you only think you are we swung by the outlets here in new york to find out 50, 60, 70% off. these signs holding crowds into outlet stores this holiday weekend. >> i really like shopping, so we came here. >> reporter: manufacturers sell and excess inventory to consumers at outlet stores and websites often at steep discounts their popularity growing more than traditional indoor malls in recent years as people look to beat inflation. >> there is nothing better than finding exactly what you want at a discount and you can see that's why we have the tremendous traffic and sales we do. >> reporter: americans sharing outlet hacks on social media. >> i found this way deep in the like coat section. it was way in the back. >> reporter: but the savings

really beat sales at traditional retail stores? what kind of deals are you seeing >> 50% off. >> reporter: i joined to do comparison shopping and i found some deals are indeed steals brooks brothers outlets wher july 4th sales advertise 50% off everything their website only offers 30%. at lululemon, we found this at the same price at both the outlet and on line shopping at the outlet saved us an additional 25% off. some deals may be worse. american eagle, both website and outlet carry the same pair of shorts but with different deals. the shorts online are on sale for $30, but you'll cough up full price on the outlet ones with the buy one, get one 50% off deal american eagle acknowledged the different deals noting that promotions can vary in store and online, similar to other retailers.

getting. >> there is good deals here. you just have to look for them. >> reporter: come with a list to avoid overbuying look for coupon books and read the return policies since many outlet items are final sale. back to you. >> brian, thank you. >> a big outlet shopper? >> big outlet shopper. and around the holidays. you? >> we go to hilton head every year there are great outlet stores we hit up out there, especially the nike store. >> okay. >> it worked for kids. >> yes >> okay. we have extreme heat across several areas in this country. we've got heat warnings down in the southwest. heat advisories in the pacific northwest, minneapolis into parts of georgia and northeastern florida here are the numbers we will see today. portland 88 degrees. 11 degrees above average. reading, california 105.
