it was crazy. >> reporter: a storm shaking millions. now waking up to yet another day of the nor'easter's wrath. we have that next high tide coming at around noon. the ground saturated in the area. with the gusty winds, we could see more trees down and more power lines down and all of those people without power and imagine being a power crew and working on the lines with the winds gusting at 30 or 40 miles an hour. that will take time. it will be a long weekend for a lot of people. >> quite the challenge. kristen dahlgren, thank you. >> dylan has made her way to the wall. where is the storm headed? >> the storm is starting to move away. you can see on the satellite here as it swirls over the atlantic. it is slowly pushing east. we still have some banding of rain across nantucket. we are seeing improvements as far as additional precipitation. the winds will remain a huge issue. we still have wind advisories up and down the east coast.

stretching up in new england and martha's vineyard has a wind warning. we have the threat of coastal flooding through sunday as the water continues to push onshore. with the high tide, we will continue with the threats of coastal flooding as you saw in kristen's piece. through the day today, we will begin to notice the winds ease as opposed to 50 miles an hour. they will gust up to 30 miles an hour as the storm pulls away. nantucket with winds up to 50 miles an hour. in new york, we are gusting up to 16. we have the potential to gust between 30 and 40 throughout the day. closer to 40 or so across nantucket. as we go into sunday, we will begin to see improvements on the wind front. it is the coastal flood threat which is a concern. guys. >> thank you, dylan. breaking news overnight. authorities capture a man

rethink his plan. the president has long supported the idea of backing u.s. with taf irreleva tariffs, but the surprise announcement and not notifying friends or lawmakers part of the shock and could have expensive consequences. no outward sign of crises as the president and first lady return to palm beach. from the whipsaw on wall street and shocked republicans predicting the surprise plan to impose tariffs on steel and alumi aluminum will back fire. commerce secretary wilbur ross said consumers will pay a fraction more from soup to soda. >> all of the hysteria is a lot to do about nothing. >> reporter: fallout inflamed by the harm of the economy for businesses and workers in the

u.s. the president made the position sound simple on twitter. trade wars are good and easy to win. friday, while the president was away for the billy graham funeral, chief of staff john kelly spoke to reporters off camera trying to shore up his power. i have absolutely nothing to consider resigning over. kelly, who took heat over his management, revisited misstep around the scandal that forced rob porter out of the office. he said we did not cover ourselves in glory. turning to the special counsel investigation, nbc news reports that investigators are looking at the president's son-in-law jared kushner and suggestidiscue had with high profile figures from several countries during the transition. the special counsel wants to know if the kushner discussions influenced u.s. policy. kushner has denied any improper

contacts. from the serious to the silly. the president reengaged his battle with alec baldwin whose dying mediocre career was saved by the terrible impersonation of me. baldwin said, i would like to hang in for the impeachment hearings and farewell helicopter ride to mar-a-lago. when it comes to the tariffs on imports for steel and aluminum, the president will sign it into effect next week. that leaves room for exceptions or influence the president's views on this may leave room for change. sheinelle, jeff. >> kelly. thank you. let's talk about the tariffs and what it means for you. nbc's stephanie ruhl and ali is here with me. the stock market tumbling at the suggestion of tariffs on steel

and aluminum. americans want to know what it means for them and will prices go up? >> the stock market doesn't tumble on news the things the president wants to do. it means two things. prices will go up. we import a lot of steel in the united states. if we suddenly increase the duty on that stuff, we can make up with some of it with u.s. production, but prices of steel will go up. that is not in fact the biggest worry. the worry is "x" number of people employed in the steel industry and this could affect jobs. people could lose jobs if they are forced to buy higher priced steel. this is bad for wages and inflation and generally bad trade policy which is why you saw negative reaction on the stock market. >> stephanie, you have reporting this came as a surprise to the president's own advisers. >> without a doubt. no surprise the president has

had the views on trade for a long time. but what is missing is process and on wednesday it was a very bad day for the president in the white house. remember, jared kushner got his security clearance downgraded from john kelly. the president's very close friend and aide hope hicks decided to leave. the russia investigation is putting pressure on the president. he was angry come late day and looking for a fight. he is without rob porter who had been sort of shielding the president. the gate keeper. wilbur ross who does have the views on trade and said mr. trump, you want to get in a tied. i have somebody for you. it's china. >> he made the announcement he intends to do this. will it get signed? >> this is what is so important. he made the announcement without the department of defense and treasury department. there is no process. no one involved. a huge portion of the administration that does not agree with this is working overtime to hope that he doesn't

do this. he said he will move forward in a week. they are trying hard to change. >> ali, should we worry about retaliation? canada and eu would take counter measures. >> people don't let this pass. canada supplies the united states with 50% of the steel. and put u.s. on nutotice. >> good discussion this morning. grade. >> they're wild. >> thank you. you can see more of these two today at 12:30 eastern on msnbc. now to the headlines from disgraced hollywood mogul harvey weinstein's attorney on the eve of the oscars. ben brafman calling the so-called casting couch a choice, not a crime. brafman saying if a woman decides she needs to have sex with a hollywood producer to advance her career, and does it

good morning. it's just a few minutes before 8:00 on this saturday. we have a first alert in effect here at nbc 10. we're dealing with some after effects of the winter storm, wind and flooding.

we have the details. >> what's happening is we're under the influence of the same setup, but the snow and rain moved out. the entire area from 10:00 a.m., a first alert. we're looking at gusts this morning between 35 and 45 miles per hour. and still around 35 to 40 this afternoon. that means that's enough that it could knock a loose branch down on the ground on top of a car, falling debris is possible. minor to mod cerate flooding possible. the winds have come town in the last couple hours. around 30 in allentown and coatesville and 30 for atlantic city. the wind gusts enough to cause a mess throughout your morning. speaking of mess, look at this. this is a tree that fell down on city avenue. traffic had to get around it

cutting through the shopping center. all four lanes here blocked. if you're heading out to catch a train or bus, you'll want to check with septa and amtrak. amtrak us a pended service for the northeast 9:00. septa is having service problems on a number of lines. shuttle buses are appropriating from darby to township line road. if you're flying out of philly international your plane may not be taking off. the airport tweeted just a short time ago there are still some delays from the storm. almost 100 flights cancelled for today. keep the nbc 10 app handy as we track the winds and potential for coastal flooding. we'll be back in 25 minutes with another uptate.

good morning. deadly nor'easter. a relentless winter storm unleashing fury along the east coast. at least seven people killed with countless water rescues and more lives at risk today. the rising waters threatening residents from virginia to maine. we are live in the thick of it. captured. authorities arrest the 19-year-old superintendent spec gunning down his parents on the central michigan campus. and best and worst in show. the red carpet rolls out, but the razzies are celebrating the

worst in film. today, saturday, march 3rd, 2018. ♪ >> i am celebrating my tenth birthday with "today." >> my first time in nyc! ♪ >> siblings weekend in nyc. >> hi, grandma and grandpa. ♪ >> good morning. welcome back to "today" on saturday morning. what a difference a day makes. it is not over yet. >> for us living in new york city and i think through the northeast, you have seen this, too. this wind whipping against the windows. windows shaking. >> we are not out of it yet. the top story. we begin with the news and the powerful winter storm bringing heavy winds and coastal flooding

to the east coast. we have nbc's kristen dahlgren in hard hit massachusetts with more. christin kristen, good morning. >> reporter: we are in the location where they had to rescue people overnight in the construction loaders. this morning, the national guard still standing by here because we have another high tide coming in with the threat of more major flooding. this storm is compared to the perfect storm back in 1991 because of how long it has lasted and how strong it has been. we have seven deaths between 2 and 3 million people without power and travel has just been a nightmare from the roads to the rails. amtrak restoring limited service between boston and washington this morning. thousands of flights were canceled. really a tough travel day and this is not over. we have the next high tide coming and also while the rain has stopped, we have high winds continuing through the day. we could see more trees and more power lines down.

back to you. >> kristen, thank you. dylan is over at the wall with the latest on the storm. where is it going? >> it is not over as far as the winds are concerned. the storm is well over the atlantic. it will continue to push away as we go through the day. any rain or snow at this point is very light. just a couple of bands to the southeast of nantucket. it is not going to be sunny right off the bat this morning. at least we are done with the heavy precipitation. the winds will remain an issue throughout the day. we have wind advisories in nantucket and martha's vineyard with the high wind warnings. we have the threat of coastal flooding with the several high tides lasting through sunday. especially along the coast of massachusetts and down through long island and to the mid-atlantic where we have the coastal flood warnings. as that water pushes onshore with the high tide, we have the potential for coastal flooding for areas in low lying areas along the coast. we will notice the winds begin to ease a touch as we go through

the day. instead of 70-to-90-mile-an-hour winds, they will be reasonable at 30-to-40 miles an hour. this is high enough to cause delays at the airport. nantucket gusting close to 50. in new york, we only have 8-mile-an-hour winds. you see we are dealing with some i ho improvements. winds gusting to 20 to 30 miles per hour and this week this whole thing will be over. >> what a mess. dylan, thank you. also this morning, a lot of questions remain after president trump announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. we have kelly o'donnell here the president's estate in florida. >> reporter: the president is here for a fund-raiser before heading back to washington today where he will have to smooth over international relationships with close american friends from canada to asia to europe.

the president made this international dispute sound like something quite simple when he tweeted the country the u.s. is losing billions on trade with every country it does business with. trade wars are good and easy to win. to say he would back up american and steel manufacturers with tariffs is the trade message. that is not new. the way he did this, abruptly announcing it and not telling allies or lawmakers or some within the white house has been the real surprise here. it comes at a time of particular turmoil in the white house with the departure of aide hope hicks and continued pressure on the president's son-in-law jared kushner who saw his own security clearance downgraded in the last week. and kushner remains under scrutiny with the special counsel russia investigation. a lot for the trump white house. this is a big issue if the president follows through and

signs tariffs. sheinelle. >> another busy week ahead. thank you. breaking news. a 19-year-old suspected of killing his parents at central michigan university. after the intense manhunt, james eric davis jr. was spotted on the train. the manhunt forced the campus lockdown and davis was arrested without incident. to rescue caught on camera of five skiers buried alive at the squall valley ski resort. this man had been trapped for a full six minutes until the ski patrol spotted his snowboard sticking out of the snow. two were taken to hospital. however, a man missing on the same mountain since thursday has since been found dead. the parents of the british tourist who died in a helicopter

crash into the grand canyon filed a wrongful death lawsuit. the complaint from the parents of jonathan udahl accuses the chopper manufacturer failing to equip the aircraft with a crash system which could have believed prevented the fire upon impact. and tomorrow night's academy awards honor the best in film, but no match for the razzies. they named "the emoji movie" saying it had a toxic level. and tom cruise for "the mummy." and tyler perry got worse actress in "madea boo 2." >> how do you respond? >> is there a speech? what about the poop emoji? does he have a speech?

>> we have dill even ylan on th. when is your birthday? >> march 20. >> march 22. >> wehere are you from? >> chicago. >> it has improved a little bit here from yesterday. the wind is still pretty strong. let's take a look at temperatures. while it is very cold out west, it is warm back through the middle of the country. temperatures will be running 15 to 20 degrees above average. denver, the high of 67 today. 66 in oklahoma city. st. louis should get into the mid-50s. jackson, mississippi, 69 degrees. on sunday, heat will move east so chicago will get up to 49. that is above average. we are staying warm in the southeast. it is chilly out west and in billings, montana, 29 degrees. 16 degrees below average. most of next week in the lower 60s to start off the week.

new tv, new speakers, netflix. this is going to be the place for binge watching, ladies. is it, ladies? don't get me wrong, you have killer tech mrs. d, but you still don't have fios. ok? fios is a 100% fiber-optic network, literally engineered for streaming.

good advice. i've also got some ideas on a better cereal selection, which i will keep to myself. experience netflix on the 100% fiber-optic network made for streaming switch to fios and get a year of netflix on us with a two-year agreement.

us. that could cause trees to come down. branches to come down and possibly more wires to come down. our meteorologist is tracking it for us in the neighborhood forecast. >> yeah. keeping up with the first look for the entire area through 10:00 a.m. we're leaving the alert in effect because we're dealing with gusts around 35 to 45 miles per hour. as we speak, the wind are starting to taper off. we're seeing more in the 30 range than the 40 range. it's a good sign. nonetheless, if you have a tree that was weak, the gusts this morning could be just enough to knock them over. we're also tracking right now the potential for some of what looks like mostly minor coastal flooding. the good news is although models are projecting moderate flooding, i haven't seen anything pointing that direction and it's likely the facts are helping us coming from the northwest. an offshore wind is beneficial for flooding concerns. look at the current wind
