vanessa, it doesn't get closer than this. >> vanessa said that she felt something go through her hair and now that i'm looking at it how lucky was that? >> reporter: believe it or not, many feel they're lucky in this region although this area is prone to slides. the pineapple express could have delivered even more wet weather here. another punch is still on the way, though later today. >> miguel almaguer thanks. dylan is tracking that weather both in the pacific northwest and that big storm people are bracing for in the northeast. your bag is packed upstairs. >> i am on my way out the door as soon as this show wraps up. first, out in california yes, we do have almost a foot of rain in some areas where miguel is in brennan, washington 11.09 inches of rain. in parts of california already over 12 inches of rain. and as miguel said we are looking at a third wave to develop later on today. so here's how it is shaping up. we still have this moisture coming in off the pacific. we are in a bit of a lull right

now. there is not a lot of heavy rain but it will stream in. even lightning flashes right out through here indicates that we will see torrential downpours and also the possibility of more thunderstorms especially across northern california where we could see another two to three inches with isolated higher amounts as much as five inches. that's why flooding and the risk of mudslides is such a big concern as we go throughout this third wave. on the east coast we've got this snow. in alba i already, we've had just over an inch of rain. you can see how quickly it coats the roads. it makes them very slippery, catching drivers off guard. they ever therefore we have some cars off the side of the road in the ditch there. this is the situation we'll see into tonight and into monday and into tuesday as well. pockets of heavier snowfall. we could even see as much as a foot to a foot and a half of snow again in boston and just north of the city we could see as much as two feet of snow. it's just crazy to think how relentless it is. >> we have to be ready. >> exactly. here we're okay.

here it is just a little bit of ice. >> which is why you want toic is it around here. thanks very much dylan. let's turn to the tragedy for olympic champion bruce jenner after he was caught in the middle of a terrible car crash on a california highway that left one person dead. nbc's kristen dahlgren has more for us. >> reporter: hi lester. it happened along the pacific coast highway in malibu. we're told jenner wasn't injured but this morning police are still investigating to see what caused that chain reaction crash. pictures from the pacific coast highway show a horrific scene. a white lexus, its front end crumpled still smoking. glass smashed. nearby a familiar face. bruce jenner walks around the car as others try to help the victim still inside. it happened just after noon on saturday. accordsing to the california highway patrol four cars were involved. including jenner's cat lad escalade towing a dune buggy at the time. police say traffic was moving

slowly when a chain reaction accident started. jenner's escalade rear-ended the white lexus which veered into oncoming traffic and was struck killing the driver of the lexus. the crash closed the iconic california highway for several hours. jenner can can be seen picking up pieces of his suv after the crash. >> he fully cooperated with the investigation. did not appear to be under the influence. and performed a field sobriety test without any problem. he also volunteered to provide a blood sample to prove or disprove whether there is any alcohol or intoxicants in his blood stream. >> reporter: police deny reports that paparazzi may have been to blame. but it is the latest tabloid fodder for the former olympian now a fixture as the father on "keeping up with the kardashians." >> we are also hearing though that the entire family is rallying around bruce right now. >> reporter: in recent month photographers have dogged jenner amid reports he is transitioning to live as a woman. his long hair and painted

fingernails often pictured in the tabloids. >> bruce is making headlines every single day for his reported transition so this could not come at a worse time for him. we are hearing he is just devastated. >> there have been no charges. police say jenner passed the field sobriety test. they will be looking at the cell phone records of all the drivers to see if anyone was on the phone or texting. a rep for jenner would only say that he was not injured. guys i know police are saying paparazzi wasn't to blame but they were certainly right there. they got pictures of the moment of impact even pictures of the victim. didn't seem like they were rushing to help. just taking video. >> sheinelle is reporting a couple of violent shootings in two different overnight. in pennsylvania police just arrested a 17-year-old in connection with a crowded mall shooting. panicked shoppers were sent running after the gunman opened fire saturday night. three people were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds. >> we believe that one of those three people that were shot was a targeted individual.

we have evidence that leads to that. >> and it was a violent scene in an atlanta suburb saturday after police say a man shot six people killing four including his wife ex-wife and several children. the gunman then apparently killed himself. police in georgia have dropped an arrest warrant against bobbi kristina brown in light of her medical condition. the warrant signed in late january reportedly stemmed from a traffic violation. this weekend her grandmother, cissy houston, was seen leaving the hospital where the 21-year-old's family is keeping vigil after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last weekend. wednesday marks the three-year anniversary of her mother whitney houston's death. officials in northern california say wildfires there have destroyed at least 40 homes. the fast-moving fire burned 11 square miles and forced two towns to evacuate near the nevada state line. a word this morning about our colleague, brian williams who has been under scrutiny over

his recollection of certain stories he's covered. on saturday brian issued a statement that "it has become painfully apparent to me that i am presently too much a part of the news due to my actions. i have decide fodd to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days. new information uncovered in last week's crash, officials are investigating like the almost new turbo-prop plane failed to produce enough thrust after takeoff. at least 40 people were killed and 15 survivors hospitalized. rescuers are still looking for bodies of three missing people. one of the big luxury carmakers is issuing a recall that's affecting more than 100,000 vehicles. the announcement from jaguar land rover north america affects 2013 and 2014 range rover and range rover sports. 2012 through 215 has issues with

park being lights. the recall starts next month. finally, speaking of fancy cars. there's still some hope. lottery officials say no one picked the winning numbers of last night's $380 million drawing. the next powerball drawing is wednesday with an estimated $450 million prize. i have to tell you guys my 5-year-old is so intrigued with the lottery lately. we pass the signs at the grocery store and stuff like that. he wants to understand how it works, he's like why don't you just put in a dollar. he just doesn't understand why aren't you playing? this is such a big deal? >> i don't understand why you're not winning. maybe we can talk for him. >> he can get in on our picks. >> how do you know the numbers? >> i'm like -- >> that's the problem! we don't! >> we'll bring him in. sheinelle, thanks. we have brought dylan back. i could say dylan for a re-do, but the weather will be matter no matter what we do. >> the in i hadal of country looks kind of great. especially in texas, we have 70s. 73 in oklahoma.

we have a little bit of icing across the northern plains and midwest. rain on the west coast, the third wave starts later on tonight. in the northeast we are looking for that snow. it is light. boston right now but we will see it intensify especially later on tonight. we could see some icing later today especially right in the new york city area. then all across the southeast, a good sunday morning. i'm meteorologist michelle grossman. a good day today. mild air in place. 50 in philadelphia. mostly cloudy skies, but we'll take that with the mild air. it stays dry today before that precipitation comes in overnight, so plan on that for your monday morning commute. into your monday evening commute, rain mixed to the north and west 38 degrees. by tuesday, it's going to be blustery, 40. sunny on wednesday, 48, not a bad day. and bitterly cold air on sunday 22 degrees. by valentine's day, lots of sunshine, 28. have a great day. >> and that's your latest forecast. this morning, jordan is launching more air strikes against isis as president obama

tries to win congressional support to authorize the use of force against the terror group. chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press." he joins us this morning. chuck, good morning. >> good morning, erica. >> i know that you are speaking exclusively with secretary of state kerry about this. let's listen to a little bit of what he told you, then we'll dig a little bit deeper. >> first of all, the coalition is strong more committed than ever particularly in the aftermath of the burning of the jordanian pilot, the resounding re-affirmations of commitment throughout the arab world have been heartening and strong. >> secretary kerry mentioned this committed coalition of raw. the u.s. we should point out is shouldering a very large part of that. in terms of support at home the white house is expected to seek congressional approval for military actions in the coming days. how much support is there at this point? >> i think there's quite a bit of support broadly. the question is when you start actually writing this

resolution. and remember what we have here the president has two ways to do what he's doing right now legally without congress without asking for a new resolution. one is the war powers act itself which allows them to do these temporary measures or they believe they can justify this legally based on the initial war resolution after the 9/11 attacks, both dealing with iraq and afghanistan. but the president wants this new resolution. i think when they start trying to write it, can you write it broad enough that allows the president to go after isis in countries we haven't declared war on but narrow enough that it doesn't seem to give the executive too much power. and erica, that's where i think this thing is going to get caught up in a lot, a lot of heeft heated back-and-forth where they end up doing nothing and just saying the president can use the old resolutions. >> ukraine is also a major focus. i addressed that with the secretary as well and the role of the u.s. there is pressure for the u.s.

to provide further support beyond the aid that's already pledged. what about drumming up support for that? what are the chances of dealing with these two at the same time? >> well it is fascinating. on this front there seems to be a consensus growing. there isn't a lot of agreement on this one between republicans and the obama administration on this one. in fact you have the new secretary of defense. he hasn't been confirmed yes, but ash carter said he is in favor of more arms. john kerry in his interview with me sort of didn't get specific but said he was essentially in favor of helping ukraine deal with this problem with heavier artillery. the split is actually between our western european allies. it is germany and france. i think the aid is going to come but it really depends on what happens at this peace conference that germany, france and russia and ukraine will hold on wednesday. >> we'll look forward to that but before that we'll join you later this morning for "meet the press" for more of that exclusive interview. thanks again, chuck. a major new turn in the murder case featured on the hit podcast "serial."

night for sam smith. i like him to win at least two, maybe three grammys, but who knows? he could win more. >> he is the led line thisheadline this morning. do you think he'll be the headline tomorrow morning? >> i feel confident saying we'll be talking about sam smith tomorrow morning. yeah i think this could be the big story coming out of the grammys tonight. but grammys are full of surprises. they always keep us guessing. >> speaking of keeping us guessing explain this. i'm hearing all this talk beyonce is getting snubbed, yet she's tied for most nominations. >> she has six nominations. she's tied with sam smith for the most nominations. pharrell also has six. here's the thing. people were expecting beyonce to be nominated in the major category. she has hand album of the year nomination. that's one of the major categories. but the others are in smaller categories outside of song of record of the year. people were thinking "drunken love," her big single would be

nominated in song or record. that surprise album release was a commercial success. but you know who was also caught by surprise? radio. and they didn't play those big singles and they didn't turn into the big hits that sometimes graph grammy nominations. start out with album of the year. who should win, who will? >> i think beyonce should win and i think she will win album of the year. this is such a strong album, both artistic and commercially. that's what grammys love. i talked to sam smith a few weeks ago and asked him who was going to win album of the year. he's up in this category. he said well beyonce, of course and if anybody else wins they should give it to her immediately. if we have to hold him to that we will. >> talk about best artist. who should who will? >> best new artist. well again, i think sam smith should will and will win. i think he is a lock in this category. but these are strong nominations all the way across the board. brandi clark, who's written big hits for miranda lambert and

others. she's nom naturedinated and it is great to see her get this attention. >> i'm going to go out on a limb here and say, joe levy maybe you think sam smith should win this one? >> i think maybe you might be right. it goes to the song that feels like it should be a classic. will we still be sicking ingsinging it years from no you? but taylor swift is also up in this category and she's hard to beat in this category. >> next rap album. >> this is an interesting category. iggy azalea is up. this category caused controversy last year. the winner last year apologized to the biggest talent to emerge in the hip-hop world. could another white rapper walk away with another major award in the rap categories? if that happens we'll see a lot of talk about cultural ownership, why is this happening. iggy is such a strong artist. a great pop artist. and again, grammy voters tend to

recognize commercial success. this is a big record. >> i'm sure it will be an exciting night. have a lot of fun. joe, thanks for spending time with us. let's send it over to dylan in the orange room with the plaza fan of the day. >> we have a lot of people in the orange room. stephanie from detroit. you nuftjust met some friends from virginia. i'll let you do your thing. >> still to come on "today," love is in the air with a special valentine's day brunch that your special someone is sure to love. but first, these messages! grandpa bode, grandma said you used to be out of control. really... i guess i did take some risks. anncr: bode, bode miller!!! trained a little bit differently. a little too honest sometimes. the media is useless. you were out of control. but not always.
