>> today is friday, november 22nd, 2024. storm watch. heavy snow and drenching rain battering the gulf coast and wet weather is starting to complicate plans for millions of travelers. what you need to know before heading to the airport or hitting the road those this weekend. fight for relief. sean "diddy" combs making his third appeal to be let out on bail today. what is happening inside the courtroom in new york city and what comes next in the case. from tree trimming to thanksgiving, holiday parties in full swing. we have tips to keep you off the naughty list this season. wicked ways. the highly anticipated movie musical is officially out. there is one question dividing fans. to sing or not to sing in the movie theater. the stars are ariana grande. and they offer popular opinions. >> i saw it last night.

>> did you sing? >> you will have to stick around and find out. >> will you tell us later? >> yes. that is a tease. we begin with extreme weather conditions from coast to coast. >> it could have an impact on your thanksgiving travel. we begin in the northeast where many people got their first taste of winter. snow fell in places like pennsylvania and new york after months of drought. a similar scene in the midwest where chicago had the most snowy november in five years. >> on the west coast, many people are reeling from record- breaking rainfall. nearly 200,000 customers still without power in washington state. in northern california, vineyards are flooded and the rain is not over yet which means there are concerns about potential mudslides. meteorologist bill karens is tracking it all. first we have chased kane out in mendocino county, california. talk to us about the conditions where you are now. i understand there is still concern about flooding.

>> reporter: we have had peaks of sunshine over the last hour which is deceiving. there is a river flood warning in effect for several rivers in northern california. there is a delayed effect. when you get this much rain, it has to flow somewhere. it flows into the streams and eventually the rivers. several rivers north of san francisco bay and sonoma county are just beginning to crest. there is a road a few miles away from where we are in mendocino county. caltrans had to close that a while ago because the navarro river was coming up out of its banks. that is one of the reasons several school districts in sonoma county canceled classes. they did not want students in school buses at on the roads and conditions like this. there are a few thousand people without power this morning. even though the rain is starting to push south closer to the san francisco bay area and to the north it is starting to dry out, there is a threat of flooding throughout the rest of the day today. >> i had to go digging for my rain boots the other day.

how much rain is in the forecast and what should people be expecting for thanksgiving travel? >> everybody wants to know that and get ahead of it. the story we have been dealing with is the atmospheric river pointing at san francisco. extremely heavy rainfall rates the last couple of hours. not fun at landing at sfo. santa rosa getting lighter rain. this eventually will shift to self. we have another 1-2 inches of rainfall to go in many areas throughout the region this includes sacramento. later amounts in eureka and crescent city. let's talk about sunday. one of the busier travel days. we have a new storm coming to the west. not as powerful as a last two but will cause trouble issues. snow levels will be high. it will mostly be a rain event unless you are at the highest passes. we could have airport delays at seattle, portland and san francisco. anyone on interstate five. and we will see snow breaking out going into the central portion of the country. everyone traveling to the middle and east looks fine.

wednesday, the coldest and busiest travel day of the year. we have an active weather pattern in the middle of the country. some areas of snow. and the exiting storm in the sierra. as far as rainy weather goes, that is going into the middle of the country. for those traveling on thanksgiving day especially in the west, things clear out nicely. we should not have any problems. the east will be a mess. anyone traveling from the west to the east, this looks problematic. it could be a decent storm. even some severe weather and snow on thanksgiving day. it is bitterly cold. that will be a theme for the end of next week. we really snapped our fingers from a mild pattern to a cold pattern. here's the airport impact on thanksgiving day. the eastern corridor will be problematic and much of the west is fine. impactful storm for trouble. >> thank you both so much. breaking news on the

federal criminal case against sean "diddy" combs. the music mogul appearing in a new york city courtroom pushing to secure his release from jail. he pushes for freedom after facing charges for racketeering and sex trafficking. it is alleged he was the leader of a criminal enterprise after sexual abuse of men and women in a scheme that spanned decades. homes is disputing the charges against him. let's bring in our nbc news legal analyst who has been following all of this with us. this is the third time now that sean "diddy" combs is asking for bail. the prosecution accused him of intimidating witnesses from behind bars. how does that factor into the decision that the judge has to make now? >> when considering deal, there are two issues at play for one, is the defendant a threat to the community? and number two, will the defendant run away? is he not likely to show up for

trial? what happens here is defendants get into jail and they start intimidating witnesses and the government will say that that means he is a threat to the community. even though he is in jail. the notion that he may be intimidating witnesses is the kind of threat to the community. and colmes, like many federal prisoners, is watched and phone calls are monitored. it is hard to play games with the system and tried to reach out and contact potential witnesses. that is what the government is arguing. that not not only should he remain without bail but because of his behavior, since he has been incarcerated, it shows that keeping him in prison or in detention, is warranted. >> you are a criminal defense attorney. what is the reason they would want him out of jail? is easier to work with him as his defense, right? >> i cannot tell you the difference it makes to have a client out as opposed to in custody. when they are out, i can pick up the phone and send an e-mail and talk anytime i like. if i want to talk strategy with

someone in a detention center, i have to go there, turn over electronics and go to the metal detector and wait as long as prison officials want me to wait for the client and then i get maybe a couple of hours with him. it makes a huge difference to have your client out rather than in. >> we will keep watching what is happening in the court today. thank you. positive reaction on capitol hill to president-elect donald trump's new choice to lead the department of justice. mr. trump cap pam bondi to be u.s. attorney general. she is a key ally of the president-elect previously serving eight years as florida's attorney general and was part of then president trump's defense team during his first impeachment trial. >> the elevation came hours after the president-elect's first pick for attorney general. former congressman matt gaetz dropped his bid. he was facing allegations that he paid women for sex and had sex with a minor in 2017. matt gaetz denies any wrongdoing. we have more from west palm beach near mar-a-lago with more.

give us a rundown of who pam bundy is and what the president- elect wants her to do as a leader of the justice department? >> she served as florida attorney general from 2011 until 2019. that is where donald trump became familiar with her, especially in march of 2016 when pam bundy endorsed donald trump for president over her home state senator, marco rubio. that is when, over the course of the next nine years, she became a frequent presence on fox news and which she would be a staunch defender of donald trump. she advised him during his impeachment proceedings. she was in pennsylvania and the aftermath of the 2020 election claiming donald trump had won the election. of course that was not the case. but donald trump is convinced that pam bundy is someone who has vowed to go inside the department of justice and root out individuals that they say

unfairly targeted donald trump over the last four years and that those individuals should be prosecuted. donald trump clearly believes he has found an ally and a defender. of course she would have to be confirmed by the u.s. senate. she does not have these types of allegations against her like matt gaetz but undoubtedly will face scrutiny not only from democratic senators but republican senators in her confirmation proceedings ahead. >> on that note, there are a lot of choices right now for various different positions. and matt gaetz was not the only pic raising questions among senators. are there other nominations you are watching that could be in jeopardy? >> absolutely. pete hegseth who was the pentagon defense secretary. he not only has a sexual assault allegation against him which he has denied but with that, he also has been questioned about his lack of leadership experience within the department of defense. he was a decorated combat

veteran but has never held a leadership role at the pentagon. also robert f kennedy junior who has faced skepticism not only over his position on vaccines but also republicans that have expressed concerns about the longtime democrat turned independent and turned donald trump ally. and tulsi gabbard, who was nominated the director of national intelligence. she has also met skepticism from republicans when she ran as a democratic presidential candidate back in 2020. she also became close to donald trump and faces a scrutiny of democrats. it is a very narrow republican majority up in the u.s. senate and that is why the confirmation proceedings and will be a public hearing and answering of questions from these individuals, will be so prudent to donald trump in his transition. >> thank you so much. let's take a turn out to today's cnbc money minute. directv and dish just canceled their merger. and whatsapp is getting a new feature. we have more on this.

>> directv is killing is still to merge with dish tv because dish holders refused to trade and the debt that they held for debt in the new company which would have cost roughly 1. $6 billion. the deal would have created a paid television distribution network with a combined 20 million subscribers. meantime, whatsapp is transcribing voice memos. whatsapp said users will be able to turn on the feature which will automatically create a text version for recipients. messages will be generated directly on the device. so no one, not even whatsapp, can access them. the option will be available in the coming weeks for both android and ios users. many folks like that encrypted end to end feature. >> are you a voice memo person? >> sometimes.

>> i am not. >> i don't even listen to voicemails anymore. >> i forgot about voicemails. coming up, blue origin successfully launching its ninth space tourism flight. we will tell you about the we will tell you about the historic i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clots, some fatal; ...cancers, including lymphoma and skin; serious allergic reactions;

it is beginning to look a lot like the holidays with travelers getting an early jump on thanksgiving break. experts say to expect a record- breaking travel rush between now and next week. here is our nbc news senior correspondent, tom costello. >> i know what you are thinking. you are thinking, wait a minute. thanksgiving is on until thursday. we have time. >> but a lot of people are leaving early for thanksgiving. they are working remotely from their thanksgiving location. that spreads out the thanksgiving travel period. more people are traveling because of that. the tsa says they expect record volume at airports nationwide. up 6% over last year which by the way was a record breaker. and over the summer, we had nearly 3 million and in some cases, more than 3 million people a day moving through checkpoints. tsa expects the same thing over thanksgiving. as you know, the weather is always a variable this time of the year. yesterday, snow in chicago.

that led to delays at o'hare. 60% off lights at o'hare yesterday. a quarter of all flights in boston delayed. the weather will be the big variable next week. if you talk to the airline, they would rather deal with snow than thunderstorms in the summer. it is a lot more unpredictable and dangerous. >> on the roads, record volume expected according to aaa. and by the way, have you noticed gas prices are down 25 cents from a year ago. half of the country right now paying under $3 a gallon. we will see a lot of people on the roads. the busiest time as you know is between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and the busiest days will be tuesday and wednesday and then sunday after thanksgiving. both on the roads and at the airport. leave early and you should expect that there will be a lot of folks out there with you traveling for this break. back to you.

the entire bay area as the rain continues to pour and we still have gusty conditions. we have team coverage on our microclimate weather alert. meteorologist kari hall kicks off our coverage. all day we've seen quite a bit of rain across the north bay, and that's going to continue to push across the rest of the bay area for the afternoon. plan on the peninsula, the east bay, the tri-valley, as well as the south county to get rain later on. this evening and continue into tonight, but then take a brief break before we see more scattered showers in the forecast early on saturday. but it won't be raining all day. it

advisory that is still in effect for santa rosa that will last until 4:00 this afternoon. a flood advisory will then remain for the entire north bay until 3:00 tomorrow morning. now, this area remains one of concern for flooding, but so far a bit of good news from this morning. there are no road closures here in santa rosa, including no road closures here in this area. signs, however, still out indicating to take caution for the flooding. but the water appeared to have receded quite a bit earlier in the day. now police warn conditions may change through saturday, so be wary as levels can quickly rise with a heavy downpour. crews are keeping a close watch on streams across the city that might overflow. this is still a long event. it's not going to be done in 24 hours. we still are anticipating more rain coming our way and that rain takes some time to drain from the higher elevations through those smaller streams that feed into the russian river. now, as such, sonoma county fire shifts their

operational focus to the russian river, where they are preparing for minor flooding. now, we spoke with santa rosa fire moments ago. we were told that aside from francisco avenue, which is where we are, they're also keeping a close eye on industrial at cleveland, as well as brookville at bennett valley. these seem to be the areas that are that have potential flooding from today. and into the weekend. we're in santa rosa, ginger conejero saab nbc bay area news. thanks, ginger. well, several bay area counties are giving out sandbags to help with the flooding. you can find a list of locations on our website just go to nbcbayarea.com. click on sandbag stations. it's on the trending bar. and don't forget you can take the forecast on the go. scan that qr code on your screen. it will take you to our free nbc bay area app for 24/7 streaming. we're going to move on to some other news now. a disgraced former city council member is back in a san jose

award given to la dodgers star shohei ohtani. the american league award went to aaron judge of the new york yankees. the two stars faced off in the world series but shohei ohtani got four games to one. this is his third mvp award and aaron judge's second. a judge is delaying new york hush money case against trump. trump was found guilty on all counts of falsifying business records in may. the trial centered on hush money payments made to adult film star stormy daniels to stop her from speaking out about an alleged affair with mr. trump. the president-elect denied the affair. the judge also set a deadline for mr. trump's attorneys to file motions to dismiss the case on presidential immunity grounds by the beginning of september. the judge has not set a new date for sentencing. in a lawsuit against formal -- former marble actor

jonathan majors has been dropped. his ex-girlfriend, grace jabbari, previously accused the actor of assault and defamation. majors was convicted in 2023 on two counts of misdemeanor assault. grace jabbari later sued the actor in march alleging he defamed her by maintaining his innocence after the guilty verdict. the filing thursday says all claims against majors have been dismissed. majors denies any wrongdoing and attorneys for grace jabbari and majors did not immediately respond to requests for comment. we are following breaking news out of texas this afternoon. the state board of education has voted to approve a hotly contested new state author curriculum for kindergarten through 5th grade. they call for extending bible teachings and elementary classrooms. >> our nbc news correspondent is following this story for us.

what exactly will this new curriculum look like. >> it will look different for different grade levels. young children will be learning about some of jesus' sermons and the concept of the golden rule. and then in 5th grade, you learn about juneteenth, a holiday about freeing slaves in texas. you will learn about how abraham lincoln came to the decision to free people because of christianity. people and support say that christianity is an important part of american history and part of the leader decision- making. but the people who have been concerned about this represent both sides of the aisle. people that voted against us are both democrats and republicans. they have been concerned that it showcases christianity at the expense of other faiths and has the potential to make kids that don't identify as christian feel isolated and it is a potential for lawsuits.

that is the other question. what happens to state leaders if they end up tied up in these legal conflicts in the months to come? >> it has not been challenged yet i assume. >> not yet but there are people ready for that possibility. >> and texas is not the only one. there are other states considering changing curriculum like this. tell us about that and the reaction to that. >> louisiana and oklahoma are good examples. although we are likely to see other states adopt something similar in the coming months and years. oklahoma is an interesting example. there state superintendent, ryan walters, made a number of interesting moves. he has talked about the need to have bibles in every single classroom and used state funds to purchase hundreds of trump branded bibles and sent out a video days ago of him performing a christian prayer on behalf of president-elect trump and he mandated that districts play this for their

kids and e-mail it to all the parents. many people, religious scholars, constitutional scholars, are very concerned about the pattern because they say that it is an erosion of the separation of church and state in texas, oklahoma and beyond potentially. >> thank you for following that. we have a health alert to warn you about. nearly 170,000 pounds of ground beef have been recalled over e. coli concerns. the recall affects fresh and frozen products sold to restaurants nationwide. they are from the detroit-based meat distributor, wolverine packing company. so far, it has been linked to at least 15 people getting sick in minnesota. the fresh products have a use by date of december 14th and frozen products are a label with the production date of october 22nd. wolverine packing company told nbc news there working closely with the usda and has notified all customers who may have been affected or impacted by the recall. >> this comes on the heels of two other e. coli outbreaks in

the country. one linked to carrots and another traced to mcdonald's quarter pounder's. sources say the outbreak is believed to be onions but that has not been confirmed. our nbc news medical contributor, dr. natalie azar joining us. this was the same e. coli strain bound last month. but we need to stress there is no connection between the two outbreaks. what does it mean that the same strain is being linked to two different outbreaks to different foods? >> this particular strain of e. coli is a particularly virulent one. the u.s. feeds about 97,000 illnesses of this type. and about 30 deaths per year. this would make the fifth e. coli outbreak of the year for 2024. they don't appear to be linked but unfortunately, we know that this kind of food contamination definitely does happen and people do get sick from it.

>> and the meat was shipped to restaurants across the country. so if you are worried if you are going out to eat and what you should be doing at a restaurant to make sure you don't get e. coli and at home if you are cooking, what should you do? >> if you are going out to eat and ordering anything made with ground beef, i think it is reasonable to ask the restaurant if they are aware of this particular outbreak and if any of their products are part of the recall. i think that is a valid thing to do for folks. at least for the next week or two. when you are at home, some of things we talk about are every year around the 4th of july and with cookouts, wash your hands very carefully. wash surfaces. be sure not to cross contaminate raw foods with vegetables and things like that. cooking meat to the appropriate temperature and then refrigerating cooked meat and other dishes as soon as you can after you are finished preparing them.

>> health officials and missouri are investigating an e. coli outbreak in that state where at least 94 people have been sickened. it seems like every other week, we have been talking about a new e. coli outbreak. why is this happening so frequently? >> the frequency is not actually more then it is for normal year. i have to be honest with you. it feels like it because we are reporting it now it seems like week to week. these things do happen unfortunately. contamination of food in preparation and distribution happens. it is a reminder for all of us to be careful when we are cooking our own foods when we are eating and when we are eating out. and to be aware of symptoms of an e. coli infection. >> thank you so much. blue origin successfully completed its ninth space tourism flight today. >> it was carrying civilians to the end of the earth's atmosphere. the trip lasted about 10 minutes from liftoff to landing. pastors had an emotional and

celebratory reunion arriving back to earth. >> it never gets old watching this. this is the ninth space launch with blue origin. this is something we have covered before but a couple of firsts. and remember that this is different from the launches we have talked about with the international space station where the missions can be months long. of course this one is very different. this is space tourism. essentially a joy ride just to space, to the outer edges. it is called suborbital and lasts about 10 minutes. a different experience. as you are about to see, an emotional one nonetheless. we had a couple of firsts. sharon and mark hagel became the first married couple to make their second trip to space and then a woman who is known as space gal. she has her own netflix show. she is trying to reach out to young women and just young people in general to inspire the next generation of s.t.e.m. engineers.

space explorers as well. she herself is well versed in the world. look at the emotion. it is all over her face and in her voice as she describes the moments being in space. and the first moments that she made it back to earth. >> it is the same feeling i get when my kids were born. i had that same feeling where i was like seeing it for the first time. beautiful. >> the emotion of course as emily is seeing earth from space for the very first time. she describes that she is back on earth becoming the 100th woman to make it to space. this has been a busy week in space news. we know starship with space news headed six test flight and we saw nasa tapping blue origin as well as spacex to determine and develop cargo landing systems as part of the artemis mission to return humans to the moon. what the systems would allow humans to do is not only spend more time on the moon's surface but explore more.
