allison chinchar, thanks for watching it for us. >>> we are starting this hour with breaking news out of the one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country. four people died and others are injured after a sightseeing helicopter crashed into the grand canyon. >> these are the first pictures we are getting of what happened there. local police have called in the milt now to help rescue the survivors. you can see why. the terrain is rocky. the winds are high and it's still dark in arizona. cnn's polo sandoval is joining us live with more details. what have you learned this hour? >> reporter: we understand that first responders have actually reached these four survivors so they are helping them, administering first aid there and trying to get them some of the help that they need. the next issue, though, is getting the survivors out of the scene. it is something has has proven to be difficult, to say the least. you mentioned, it is rocky, it is extremely rugged terrain there. this accident happening in a part of the grand can jon theyo that is tough to get there. we understand wind g

meteorologist allison chinchar with the forecast. >>> the flood threat still exists, especially for areasll have flood watches and flood warnings in effect. and likely will continue for at least the next several days. that's because thanks to the front system that you see here, that's giving us enough lift to pull up a lot of that gulf moisture over the spots that have been seeing rain for the last week. here's a look at where the areas will see it today. you see some of the heaviest regions are places like tennessee, arkansas, mississippi, as well as alabama. now one thing to note is that it's also very warm down there, as well. a lot of these areas still looking at temperatures well above average. atlanta looking at a high of 66. little rock about 70. nashville, high temperature of about 63. even some milder temperatures into portions of the northeast. say new york about 59. boston, looking at a high of 58. even cincinnati looking at a high about 56 degrees. >> thank you. >>> let's check cnn "money" this morning. interest rate fears are back. i told you -- every day just a rate drama. g

allison chinchar is here. what are you seeing? >> so this is near the paraguay/argentina border.ver rose 6 meters already. it is expected to continue to rise over the next three to four days. you can see debris, cars, even homes flowingi indown this rive. and topography plays a big role sitting in a lower basin. the good news is we do expect that this should die down five, six days from now. a little closer to home, the big story is the bitter cold temperatures expected across areas of the upper midwest. including that of minnesota, the reason this is important is because this is where the super bowl is going to be played. now, here is the thing. i understand it is a closed dome. we're not so much worried about the fans in the game, but the fans outside. because not only are the temperatures going to be cold, the windchill will be a big factor. with windchill, you have this outer layer of heat that sits just on the outside of your body, but when the wind blows, it takes away that outer layer of heat that surrounds your body. hypothermia can set in with a body temperature drop of

. >> allison chinchar is in the cnn weather center and we just feel bad for those folks. >> yeah, and too. we're not gist talkijust talkin two states some of the heaviest is around the ohio river valley and they have already experienced flooding. these are all the flood watches. they stretch from texas all the way up to pennsylvania. the long term concern here is going to be the rivers. you have over 350 wri 550 river expected to be at or above flood stage over the coming days. and you also have to factor in how much rain has already fallen. take a look at this, you look at the rainfall amounts that have already come down in some spots. when we take a look at oklahoma, almost 9.5 inches of rain. other areas in the southern portion of the plains have also been the same, but we also have severe weather to talk about. and the main threat for this region is going to be tornadoes as well as damaging winds. >> thank you so much and listen to this next story because i think you will be interested in it. talking about this woman, just relaxing in a recliner. and she says she was attacked and
