cleaning up, trying to get power back on for all those impactedd customers.s. >> espspecially f feel like sum thisis week upp andnd dowown th coastt as welll as i in t the sosoutheast, cities like orland florida, and portland, oregon, are set to experience record-high temperatures, this all comes as flight frustrations continue with people trying to get their destinations ahead of the holiday. michelle gross man is tracking the forecast for us but let's begin with dana griffin at the beach in santa monica, california, not exactly sweltering hot where you are right now but what are you hearing from people about the weather in your area and really across the country? >> reporter: it's kind of mixed. people who came from across the country. this is a much-needed reprieve but for others they thought they were coming to a sunny southern california, that's not case, take a look at santa monica, it was full of people. you got a lot of families,

people trying to beat the heat. we talked to a woman who came here from detroit, michigan, he said luckily they had some light jackets in the car because they were not expecting this, but we had a group of guys playing football on the beach and they came from the bay area, which is typical weather like this, from 70s, 90s. got to get away, came to the coast. so many people show up here on this famed pier, people enjoying the rides, the food, the cool beverages, but across the country and across the west, other places are not so lucky as what we're seeing here, we got heat advisories from washington to arizona, some areas can get from 110 to 120 degrees. some areas may break records. flagstaff, phoenix and palm springs, so for people who rig r trying to escape the beach is the perfect place to come.

>> dana, kudos to you and your camera crew. what a cool shot, you just walked us down the pier. let's talk about travel. what do people need to know if they're going to travel for the fourth in. >> reporter: if you're looking to still hit the road on the fourth you want to leave before 11:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m., those are the best times. you definitely want to check your flight times, too, there are about 1700 flights in and out of the u.s. that are currently delayed and a hundred-plus flights in and out of the u.s. that are cancelled. so check before you hit the road. thank you so much for shouting out our crew. i give them the credit for this great live shot. >> so much fun. let's bring in meteorologist michelle grossman, what parts of the country are you most

concerned about. >> from the mid-atlantic to the northeast to the carolinas, a chance for really strong storms. that's not the only spot, parts of the rookies into northern plains. you can see these storms starting to pop. we're seeing some heavier rain throughout portions of the central plains. look at this rain in the east. that's what we'll see as we go throughout the rest of today. that swirl there, looking at those storms, indicating we're starting to see that daytime heating. lightning strikes there in parts of the northeast, the theme as we go throughout the day. 36 million americans under some sort of severe weather risks. some spots could see winds gusting up to 80 miles per hour. a low tornado threat, not zero. places like new york city, d.c., richmond, big cities could see

strong storms. in addition to that, some heavy rainfall, over 3 inches in some spots. be careful as you're out and about driving tonight. we're talking about the heat as well, it's stormy, it sees steamy 36 million people impacted by a heat alert. the southwest really warm, some temperatures into the triple digits even near 120 in some spots. >> michelle grossman and dana griffin, thank you. a massive search is under way today for suspects in a deadly block party shooting. killing two people and hurting 28 others. many of the injured are just teenagers. people identifying two victims as an 18-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man. antonio hilton is following this for us. we heard from police and baltimore's mayor about this

shooting. >> reporter: vicky, this tragedy has people in baltimore just reeling and eager to hear updates for the man hunt for the people they believe is responsible for this. initially people were looking for a shooter, they thought was one person, but authorities think this was caused by multiple individuals. and the motive we don't know yet. so many mass shootings about 340 just up to this point alone today, according to gun violence archive. this community is calling for change at both the local level and the national level. they're asking officers to find the people responsible here and to take action on ghost guns, untraceable, unauthorized

weapons on the streets. take a listen to the mayor's remarks from earlier today. >> they were grown adults filming young people with guns who said nothing, who did nothing, who didn't say to police i know this teenager's out here at this event with a gun and we have to have a sense of responsibility to our own community as well. >> reporter: vicky, to put this in greater context, we're about 340 mass shootings this year, compared to 2019 just before the pandemic n that entire year there were 417 which means we're on pace for an incredibly violent year, this desire of course locally and nationally for there to be a response here, action taken to address the proliferation of both legal and illegal firearms and so this community is waiting for more answers now. >> a powerful point made there by the mayor, the responsibility of the community the adult in the room so to speak, what about

these two teenagers who were killed during the shooting. >> reporter: we know that one is an 18-year-old girl and the other is 20-year-old boy, both incredibly young the families haven't released statements at this time, our understanding from community members they're grieving and waiting a little bit before coming forward. two of the of course, the main victims killed that night. 14 of the 30 people shot that night were children. just a shocking number and so as you can imagine people on the ground are still somewhat in shock and trying to process this. >> let's hope they find those shooters soon. a suspect is in custody after a shooting inside a kansas nightclub, at least nine people were shot there, two others were trampled during the chaos, it happened in wichita early sunday

morning. police say at least four guns were fired inside that club, but what happened before the shooting that's still unclear, police say this is the 12th incident at the club this year alone including a drive-by shooting back in may. three different businesses in northeast d.c. targeted over the weekend with explosive devices, a bank, a nike store and a supermarket, all damaged in three separate explosions within a 15-minute span on sunday. nbc correspondent steven romo is following this story for us, steven, what more can you tell us in. >> reporter: a lot to get to here, lot of questions remain, thankfully no injuries have been reported in any of these explosions. dama left to businesses involved. that first blast happened at 4:30 a.m. on sunday. happened outside a bank atm on a sidewalk, six minutes later another explosion, this time in front of the doors of a nike

store, caused quite a bit of damage, ten minutes after that, 4:45 a.m. on sunday, there was a molotov cocktail-style object police say that was thrown into a safeway grocery store, allen with the same area, all of this happening within about 50 minutes time span, thankfully those businesses were closed at the time. no injuries reported. but a lot of people saw and heard things. here's some of the witness. >> reporter: it shook my living room. it knocked all my security cameras off the wall. it knocked my pictures off the wall. it pretty much rattled me. >> i'm very much appalled by the incidents, i found it unsettling. >> reporter: unsettling, imagine being woken up at 4:00 a.m. with this explosion happening in your neighborhood. >> steven, in terms of the police investigation, do they

have any sense of who might be behind these? they believe they're connected, is that right? >> reporter: certainly the case, police and investigators think these three are all connected. showing what they say is a suspect and a vehicle. you can't see much from the suspects but you can see that vehicle with maryland plates. it's a gold or champagne-colored vehicle, they're looking for that right now, that acura to try to find out who this person is, right now the motive and the purpose for this is not exactly clear. >> steven romo, thank you. coming up, a new way to fight wildfires that's saving the lives of those battling them. plus, this is not the kind of scare you want on a roller coasteter, t he when modererate to seveve ulcecerative cololitis keeps flflaring, he when modererate to seveve ulcecerative cololitis put itit in check k with rin, a a once-dailyly pill. put itit in check k with rin, whenen uc got unprpredictable,e, i got rarapid symm relief witith rin.

the video on this one is wild. investigators are looking into a roller coaster at a north carolina amusement park after a major crack was spotted on the ride infrastructure. luckily no one was hurt. the ride is shut down. >> reporter: new questions swirling about safety. after this alarming video of a giant crack in roller coaster support beam causing to shift outwards as a car full of thrill seekers round the curve.

he was shocked by what he saw. >> i'm like, i can see light through it and i'm not an engineer, but that's not good. >> reporter: wagner whose family who had just ridden that coaster quickly told park security and the ride was shut down indefinitely. writing in a statement, safety is our top priority. we appreciate the patience and understanding of our valued guests during this process. >> makes me second-guess getting on a roller coaster now. >> reporter: one of the premier atraks its website touts it as the tallest, longest giga coaster in north america. this photo taken by a park visitor just a week earlier apparently showed the crack starting to form. >> how did it get to this point?

people are on that ride. >> reporter: putting the spotlight on ride safety as amusement parks are starting the summer visitors crush. despite the harrowing incidents, the president of premier rides said safety measures are rigorous. >> the same types of tools that are used in aerospace engineering are used in the theme park industry. >> reporter: for jeremy wagner he said his family won't be worried to get back on the coaster when it's fixed. >> their safety protocols and fixing the issue would be secure enough. it's been a deck sed since the fire in arizona killed 19 members of an elite fire-fighting squad. lindsey reiser went back to see how they overhaul the way they

fight fires. >> reporter: a small city north of phoenix became known for what it lost, 19 highly trained firefighters died. you remember every detail of what you wore that day. >> reporter: engaged to 22-year-old wade parker in his rookie season with the elite fire-fighting group. they were called to fight an explosive fire threatening homes in nearby yarnell. spinning out flames as high as 20 feet. the crew left communication and left their safe zone. they were forced to deploy their emergency shelters, all but the lone lookout perish zbld i wouldn't from planning our wedding two months from then to literally planning his funeral and right to attend 18 other funerals on top of that.

>> reporter: it's still the deadliest u.s. wildfire in 80 years and the largest loss of firefighters' lives since september 11th. >> we recognize when you lose a quarter of your department what that means is completely different. >> reporter: due in part on this disaster their approach in how they approach fire has changed. >> with fires burning hotter, faster and becoming more unpredictable thanks to climate change, it's strategy focused on protecting lives and learning to live with the dangers of wildfires. >> we can't succeed we're going to step back and find a better approach and strategy. our highest priority is life safety. firefighter and public safety. >> reporter: communication has

advanced. and now departments like prescott are using drones, they can scout troubled spots from above. reshaping how communities fight forest fires as they honor and grieve the men who gave their lives protecting the ones they love. >> husbands and brothers and sons, this crew went there together and they died together and they all stayed together. coming up, breaking news in israel after a series of early morning drones attacks. what we're learning about who was targeted that has the entire was targeted that has the entire country on ♪♪ when y you have chchronic kidney disisease... therere are placaces you'u'd like t to be. like here.e. and d here. nonot so much h here. ifif you have e chronic kidney disisease, farxiga cacan help youou keep l living lifefe.

fireworks believed to have played a role in starting that fire. the wind responsible for quickly spreading it. crews were able to contain the fire to just five acres. here in san bruno and in pacifica, fireworks are legal but no fireworks, no matter what kind they are, are allowed in certain designated areas including city parks and schools. you can face hefty amounts if you are caught with fireworks at those places or if you have illegal fireworks, you can be fined up to $50,000 and jail time. in san bruno, nbc bay area news. >> important reminder. thanks so much. here are some other stories you need to know about. a portion of highway 1 is closed off now due to a large sinkhole. also, a fire at a homeless encampment in san jose shuts down traffic. but a high speed chase in san lan dro leads to a shooting. the car eventually crashed. three suspects tried running from the scene and police say one of the suspects got physical

deal with some uncomfortable heat over the weekend. today in concord, 88 degrees and 79 in napa. san matteo will have a nice 79 degrees and half moon bay in the mid-60s. about the same for the coastal areas for the fourth of july but as you make your way inland, it's going to reach into the low to mid-80s. upper 80s for san martin. by wednesday, we continue to cool off and we'll show you just how cool it gets in that seven-day forecast in about 30 minutes. >> cool off sounds great. thank you. nba summer of action kicks off today in the california classic and the golden state warriors will be taking on the kings tonight. other teams will be participating as well. while we won't see the full warriors roster playing, it will be great to watch because it will be a warm up for their summer league team which is made

house fire, six bodies were found in a home early yesterday. that's about 40 miles outside of charleston, a single survivor was air lifted in critical condition, the 33-year-old suspect has been charged with attempted murder. state police say he could face more charges pending those autopsy reports. a growing wildfires are forcing hundreds of people from their homes in southern washington, sparked around 11:30 yesterday morning, quickly growing to more than 300 acres, hot and windy conditions are helping to fuel the flames. the cause of the fire itself is still under investigation. hollywood actors are staying on set and averting a strike for at least nine more days. extended their current contract until july 12th to continue negotiating a new deal. even though the actors aren't on strike yet productions have been on pause since the wga went on

strike we're following breaking news out of israel, at least eight palestinians were killed after israeli forces launched what they're calling a counterterrorism operation. in the west bank. palestinian authorities and others dispute that, though, drones and thousands of ground troops have been deployed. israeli forces say the operation is expected to last a few days. the prime minister netanyahu has faced growing calls to take action. joining us now is nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell and josh lederman. >> reporter: the situation continues to deteriorate both militarily with more drone strikes by israeli forces even this evening in the occupied west bank, but also diplomatically with prime minister netanyahu emerging from an emergency security meeting to

describe the camp as a nest of terrorists. we're hearing from the palestinian authority which has just announced it's cutting off all security cooperation with israel and all diplomatic talks with the israeli government. that will further undermine the ability for these two sides to work toward any resolution. the israeli government is trying to make clear this raid is different from the periodic raids of the west bank we have seen over the last several months. essentially this time they've gone in to get the job and intent to stay until they rooted out the terror threat that the israeli military has described as emanating from jenin. they're going to stay there, potentially for several days. >> israel describing this as a counterterrorism operation. andrea, we have heard from

groups like c.a.r.e. that what's happening here is result to war crimes. break down the reaction from other countries around the world and how you see this potentially playing out in the region moving guard. >> as josh pointed out, it's incredibly troubling. richard haas has spent decades looking at the middle east. he's worked on this issue and there are month negotiations, there are no communication and the us is pex of security arrangements with the palestinian authority, is not surprising given the facts there's outbreak in jenin and they're using 2,000 troops, drones, other air strikes, now an idf spokesman has just said they believe that there's been firing coming out of a mosque, they're entering a months nk the

last couple of hours, that's potentially very inflammatory as well. hard to tell which side is accurate here. the u.s. said it's closely tracking all of this. underscores the urgent need for there to be negotiations. but no diplomacy in yea and years. they support israel's right to defend themselves against terror attacks. the expansion of settlements under netanyahu has been more expanded than at any time. >> all right, andrea mitchell. josh lederman, thank you both. signs of calm but protests continue in france for the sixth straight day the outrage all sems from the police killing of a teenager in paris suburb. about 150 people were arrested last night. tens of thousands of police officers are now deployed

nationwide to try and keep the peace. nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley joins us now from paris the officer involved in shoot has been charged. what are these protesters now demanding? >> reporter: well, it's unclear the protesters want to continue, it looks as if they were subsiding. the issue is, 157 people, doesn't sound like a very small number, but the fact is comparing to last weekend's arrest more than 1300 people were arrested on friday night. so really this does l look as though we're reaching something of a pause here and that's important, because really it looks as though the tide has been turning against the protesters. here, the mayor of this town, his home, his private home was attacked in the middle of the night over the weekend. his wife and his children were forced to flee. during all of that his wife injured herself and is now badly

injured, broke her leg, that's cause outrage across the country. so, this is something that we can kind of see going on from here, kind of slowing down the progress of these protests but i have spoken with some public officials they say despite this apparent pause this could get going again at any time. >> they are unpredictable. how is the french president macron handling this crisis? >> reporter: well, president macron has been meeting regularly with his top advisers and ministers and police officials trying to figure out what to do. he's been facing pressure from the right and left. the left are saying they need more social justice initiatives and more reforms in policing and more legal restraints by police officers. this is something that again has

got macron caught in a vice between all the sides of the political spectrum here in france. a familiar position for this president. he's traversed these waters many times before. >> thank you, matt the dust is still settling after major supreme court decisions to end their term. we're getting a sense about how americans feel about the court's latest opinions. we're in washington, the president announced his alternative student loan payment plan. quickly after the supreme court's ruling on friday, where does the process of putting in that in place stand today? >> just hours after the supreme court decision the president announced that he would be trying to use this backup plan of the 1965 higher education act to be able to get this done and the administration officials say that the first steps in that

plan are already in effects. the president however knows that there's a very tight time line to get this done considering those federal student loan repayments were paused and extended over and over again during the pandemic those are being re-upped coming in october. the president because he knows millions of americans will struggle to meet those federal loan repayments he's coming one this so-called on-ramp plan that's going to last about a year, allow borrowers to pay a lower monthly payment. they won't be required to pay more than 5% of their disposable income and if they're able to buy the department of education won't report them to credit agency. the administration is fully expecting though that there are going to be more legal challenges to this backup plan. still how unclear before this is

a solid, concrete plan, unclear how many people would be impacted, would be helped with this and how much funding would be available to help these americans, remember that original plan was set to help over 40 million americans. >> thank you. thousands of southern california hotel workers are on picket lines this holiday week just as the summer travel season heats up. room attendants, desk agents are all on strike. we join nbc news correspondent steve patterson now in los angeles. steve, how did things get here? what are hospitality workers demanding as part of the negotiation sths. >> reporter: 15,000 hospitality workers in 60 or more than 60 hotels in both los angeles and orange counties. really encompassing all of southern california.

the rent is too damn high, you can't live where you work, we're seeing this across a number of industries, dock workers recently striking, education workers recently striker and now, this. so the argument is they need more pay and that the industry simply isn't adjusting to inflation, to demands in the market and the soaring housing prices, so up front, they're looking for an increase of $5 now. these are cooks, front end desk workers, really instrumental in the operation of a hotel, and they want better health care, better retirement but they're looking for that up front bump. we spoke to people on the street what else they might require. >> hundreds of thousands of people coming into this city, right, giving us money, the

workers who make that what is able to stay healthy and housed. >> through the pandemic they started hiring people, lot of workloads on top of us, 800 employees, now we're 500. sometimes we do the work of two, three people. >> look, we should say the collective bargaining operation that's representing the hotel chains say they have come to the table, that they put pretty reasonable counteroffers on that the union didn't want to respond in the week leading up to this that they more interested in striking than finding a good solution. >> steve, thank you. coming up, what doctors want you to know about the growing number of malaria cases emerging in the united states. you're

in today's daily health, new concerns about malaria in the united states as the weather heats up and those mosquitos really start coming out. the cdc just reported five cases of malaria contracted within the united states, that hasn't happened in nearly two decades. >> about 2,000 malaria cases are reported in the u.s. each year, people usually get the disease from another country and bring it back here. joining us is dr. john torres.

what do we need to know about malaria in the u.s. and what are the symptoms? >> you have to go out to a global perspective, malaria is one of the bigger diseases in the world and it's one of those diseases we certainly don't want to come here to the united states. those five cases are here, localized cases, cases that have developed here in the united states from somebody getting a mosquito bite here if u.s. the hard thing initially it has flu-like symptoms. there they are, fever, chills, body ache and fatigue. the fee verse, they're cyclical. fevers to no fevers. every 48 hours you develop a fever and then it goes away. those are initial conditions.

>> dr. john, what should people do right now to avoid getting biten regardless of malaria? what do you think is the best course of action? >> it's not just malaria we have to worry about. as a matter of fact, the five cases, it's still a very rare occurrence, we're talking west nile virus, zika, all these other viruses that mosquitos have, try and avoid the bites. using bug sprays is a perfect example. wear long sleeves and long pants. get rid of standing water. you want to make sure you clear those out and they don't have a place to go. >> dr. john torres, thank you. more teenagers are getting weight loss surgery than ever before thanks to american academy of pediatrics giving that surgery a green light.

youth between the ages of 10 and 19 and for the first time in 15 years the american academy of pediatrics endorsed the procedure to treat severe obesity. >> it involves medical clarences from some. but some doctors are skeptical. arguing kids may not understand the lifestyle changes that come with the surgery. >> if you're telling a kid you're going to need a lifetime of medical care they may not be prepared for that. >> reporter: he used to prepare weight loss surgeries on teens. >> lot of people with bad results. >> post-surgery what are some of the side effects that kids could potentially see in. >> the biggest one is the

mico-nutrients. >> reporter: ivan now follows strict dietary restrictions and has made major adjustments. >> i could have served myself a full plate, now i'm serving myself on a salad plate. >> reporter: he says it's all worth it. while gaining a new lease on life. kathy park, nbc news, dallas. >> amazing that he would share that story with other people and the thing that stands out to me is just how happy he looks. >> it's made a big difference for him. there's more news ahead. >> you're watching "nbc news daily".
