weathercaster of our new york station is tracking the storm. >> you look at the radar picture. we've got snow up in the rockies. but st. louis, you should be on alert because the snow's pushing in your direction. i believe you're going to be the bull's-eye for this particular storm. how much are we talking? keep in mind st. louis, your biggest snowfall ever has been 12.8 inches. that blue color is a foot of snow. the possibility is there. it's a record setter for you. for everybody on the west coast, let's look there. for you it's all about the rain coming on shore. today into tomorrow morning, look at this, top to bottom in california. you're picking up rain. maybe a little wit bit of a bren sunday. monday, tuesday, you're right back into more rain. wednesday, thursday, friday. this is probably the heaviest band of all. it's pulling down a lot of rain for 10 days straight. look at some of the numbers. san francisco, every day for ten days, you're picking up rain. for l.a., you'll pick up about 9.2 inches. all of last year, you picked up less than five.

three months after taking office. >> 100%? >> 100%. it's going to be happening. they'll be very happy to pay. >> reporter: yesterday, the president took a different approach. >> obviously they're not going to write a check but they are paying for the wall indirectly many, many times over, by the really great trade deal we just made. >> reporter: democrats won't give him taxpayer money for the wall, the president says he will exercise his right to declare a national emergency. >> i would say it will be very surprising to me that i would not declare a national emergency. >> reporter: doing so could allow the president to use unspent pentagon funds to start building his wall. but in the immediate future, it would likely keep lawyers busier than construction workers. democrats have vowed to file legal challenges in the president tries to do this and even if he prevails at the supreme court, he would likely face another round of legal
7:12 am
challenges from property owners on the border. >> there's a "wall street journal" report out talking about the infighting from the white house and about whether or not he should declare an emergency. >> just to remind people, the president's policy, as it was written down on his website in detail, the first thing, mexico will pay a down payment on the wall. so when he says he wasn't asking mexico to pay by the details of his campaign, he was asking mexico to write a check. >> yes, you remember that exchange -- >> i do. that was when he was president and they were chanting "build the wall" and he said absolutely mexico's going to pay for it and they're going to be happy to pay for it. >> such confidence too. >> we know we're about to set a government shutdown record that nobody should be proud of. >> the shutdown is also affecting airport screeners who have to keep working without pay. kris van cleave is at washington's reagan airport tracking the potential impact on air safety. kris, everyone is paying attention to this. >> reporter: good morning. tsa leadership remains concerned about a tipping point moment.
7:13 am
particularly now that screeners have received a paycheck for tipping point would be the moment when folks go look other places for work which would make it a lot harder to staff checkpoints like the one behind me. it's important to note the vast majority of tsa screeners have been on the job without pay. there has been a moderate increase in the number of workers calling in sick compared to last year. if staffing become as issue, the tsa will reduce the number of screening lanes which will result in longer lines and the potential of missed flights. miami international is prepared to close terminal g in the afternoon starting this weekend to free up tsa officers to work usier checkpoints in part due to sick calls. faa air traffic controllers rallied on capitol hill yesterday calling for an end to the shutdown. they're also on the job working without pay. one controller posted on twitter a picture of her pay stub showing zero dollars. the national transportation safety board can't investigate fatal accidents because its investigators have been furloughed. they can only be brought back if
7:14 am
there is a clear sign of an imminent life-threatening safety risk. bianna. >> kris, aside from the headaches of long lines, if tsa screeners don't show up for work, is it still safe to fly? >> well, tsa screeners don't show up to work, people won't be able to go through the checkpoints and they won't be able to fly. but the screeners have been on the job. it is safe to fly. air traffic controllers are on the job. screeners are on the job. >> all right. >> good to hear. >> thank you, kris. >> when i was at the airport last week, passengers were thanking the tsa screeners for being there on the job. you might want to think about that when you're flying. these people are there without pay. >> absolutely, that's absolutely right. now the fbi agents are urging congress to immediately fund their agency with the government shutdown now affecting critical security operations. nearly 13,000 special agents won't receive their paychecks today. in a petition, top fbi representatives warn the resulting financial insecurity could disqualify some agents
