to do that, we're joined by meteorologist, bill karins. look like other than hot and summery? >> yeah. it's july. the only thing i like to watch this time of year as we get deeper into our hurricane season, these things can pop up more quickly. we've been watching the tropical depression moving through the southeast. right now, it's just a tropical disturbance. here it is behind me. it's not causing a lot of problems actually over the top of south carolina and barely raining in south carolina. all of the rain is off the coast. the hurricane center is saying right now, a 50% chance this develops over the next few days into what should be a tropical depression. if it does get a name, it's an "f"-named storm. here's the zone, we're watching that area off the southeast coast, especially from the outer banks all the way off to the mid-atlantic. here's what the forecast means for the storm. as we go through the day, on and off downpours, myrtle beach, and wilmington, up through cape hatteras. then it gets stronger by the time we get into thursda

let's check in now with nbc meteorologist bill karins.ye for some places in the country, right? >> yeah. we're seeing gusty winds as fay moves through. you can see where the storm is located here. all of the yellows and reds. it isn't a powerful storm. it's going to have impacts isolated where it rains the heaviest. flash flooding will be an issue and an isolated tornado or two. here's the forecast as we go through the day. by 2:00 p.m., we should see fay moving inland over the top of southern new jersey and over the top of new york city by 8:00 p.m. this evening. that's going to be one of the areas we're watching. also the forecast will have heatwave conditions in areas of the west. the weekend forecast, fay will be existing as we go through saturday. the heatwave in the west continues. alex, the last thing i will leave you with, yesterday was another day we saw an increase in fatalities. 960. that was the highest thursday since the beginning of june. here's the part everyone was waiting for. are all of these new cases, alec, going to le

. >> nbc meteorologist bill karins is in today for dylan with more on that and hurricane douglas that's headed towards hawaii in the pacific. bill, good morning. these are some serious systems. >> yeah, and we need to get this onshore. hanna has been strengthening overnight. and a very large eye is trying to develop over very warm water. it has another 12 hours to intensify. we need to get this onshore so it does even less damage. we do expect it to become a hurricane later on today, most likely before the lunch hour. as it moves onshore, we have numerous concerns with any tropical system. right now, winds are at 70 miles an hour. it's heading to the west at 9 miles per hour. you can do the math. we're about 11 hours away from a landfall. it does look like the strongest winds will miss corpus christie and the houston area. it will be in between corpus christi and the brownsville region. that's a very rural area. a lot of those small cities, we have to worry about flash flooding and we have to worry about those sturges on the coast. we could see that high water as far as 3 to 5 feet from

. >>> for a first look at your forecast, let's go to meteorologist bill karins. r us? >> good morning to you, alicia. the storms continuing right through the early morning hours. as we look at the radar, a lot of it is finally ending, but yesterday was just a mess. we look at the northeast. we look at the last 12 hours. each of these blue dots is a high wind report. each of the white dots is a large hail report. and yours truly, i got to go storm chasing yesterday afternoon. i took my 10-year-old son with me and we punched right into the center of what we call a hail core right in front of one of these large storms. it was the largest hail i've seen in the seven or eight years i've lived here. the largest i could see was about 1-inch hail. there's a lot of trees down and cleanup needed throughout the region. let's look at today's forecast and what we're going to be dealing with. later on today, we'll see strong storms through the northern plains coming out from the rockies. watch out montana, north dakota and could move to duluth, minneapolis. the building storms

let's switch gears here and get a first look at your forecast with nbc meteorologist bill karins. good morning, bill. >> good thursday morning to you, yasmin. typical july headlines. we're going to have thunderstorms to deal with and severe weather, and the heat will get pretty epic toward the weekend. this is typically the hottest weekend annually and this weekend is steaming. last night we had storms in illinois. we had three tornadoes, a lot of wind damage, large hail. and now those storms have weakened. a little bit of rain this morning for our friends this morning from toledo to detroit. storms from erie to cleveland to buffalo and they'll push through new york state around 7:00, 8:00, a few storms also in west virginia. let's go nr that record today, washington, d.c. we've come this far. we might as well do it. we've had 20 days in a row at reagan national airport of 90-plus. today's going to be a close call. the forecast is actually 89, so a little drama building. if we hit 90 today, we'll easily get there friday, saturday, sunday, monday. you see the heat building in the na

let's switch gears and get a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. hi, bill.orning, yasmin. wednesday is going to be an interesting day in the northeast. we could have weather headlines coming out of today, especially if we get this line of severe storms as we expect. let me prepare you for your day. overnight, thunderstorms have been rolling through the ohio valley, especially in the state of ohio, waking up people a little early in the morning. as we go through the afternoon, the cold front will try to make us way over the hot humid air mass over the northeast. 56 million people at risk of severe storms. that's a lot of people, southern ohio, through west virginia, northern virginia, baltimore, washington, d.c., philadelphia and new york. damaging winds are possible. we could even see some large hail out of this. i don't think we're going to see any tornadoes. maybe isolated one or two. let's break down the timing of this. let's get to you 4:00 this afternoon. that line of storms will reach areas of central pennsylvania, harrisburg, washington, d.c., area. a

. >>> with that is correct let's get a check of the weather with meteorologist bill karins. good morning to you, bill. >> good morning, yasmin. we're about to fine out how difficult it is to go through a pandemic in the midst of a heatwave. that's going to be building up this weekend. we have heat watches in the philadelphia area. and all of the middle of the country is in heat advisories or watches. this will be the hottest period of the season. for today, look at the map. the area in blue is the actual temperature. when you add in the humidity, that's the feels-like temperature. kansas city, 104, washington, d.c., will feel like 101 this afternoon. you get the picture. it's plain ol' hot just about everywhere coast to coast. and then it expands to the northeast. it hasn't felt like that often. boston will feel like 93. minneapolis will feel like 108. that's hot by minneapolis standards. and then early next week, look at washington, d.c., on monday. a chance for your first 100-degree temperature of the summer season. new york city not quite as bad. boston has a chance for a

let's bring in bill karins to save the day. > i'm losing my voice here. >> it's amazing. >> save me, bill. >> it's amazing. yeah, i think we all can remember when the nba was kind of the first league to shut down because of the positive cases inside the league and it was the first time ever, everyone was like, oh, wow, sports are going away. to have them coming back, at least the major sports, it will be interesting to see what the r reexception is and how it plays out, especially watching on tv with no fans even with piped in crowd noise. so let me get into the covid numbers and quickly get into your forecast. as far as what we've been dealing with out there, obviously a huge number, 70,000 cases. texas and florida had 9,000 new cases and well over 4 million now. we've kind of flattened the curve on the latest wave. if you look at the farthest graph, over the past week, the seven-day average hasn't gone up that much. it's at 68,463. we'll see what happens the rest of the week. it would be nice to go down from the rapid increase

all right let's switch gears here and get a first look at your forecast with nbc meteorologist bill karinsning, bill. >> good morning. we're watching this heatwave we have something brewing in the tropics and veer storms. let's show you, first off, the area of concern in kansas. we have minor flash floodings that happened overnight but not too horrible later on today, the large area in green is the dividing line. that's where we're going to see thunderstorms later. maybe severe storms in denver. now, tomorrow that boundary sets up right over the top of the mid-atlantic region and we have 40 million people at risk of severe storms. this isn't for today for wednesday afternoon and wednesday evening. new york city, baltimore, philadelphia, d.c. not really concerned about tornadoes. as far as the heat goes, yesterday was 99 in washington, d.c. we were one degree away from 100. we haven't done that in four years. it's going to be very hot and humid in the mid-atlantic region, but not as humid as yesterday. 96 today compared to 99. charlotte, 105 if you want a little bit of belief, it's beautifu

. >>> so for your first look at the forecast, i want to go to nbc meteorologist bill karins. een a while since i've seen you. you were off anld then i was of >> yes. reunited. >> and it feels kind of good. >> i'm was going to go there, but i thought i'd let you do that. it's exceptionally hot. one area,ite note a mi itarea, . at 2:00 right now it's 102 in phoenix. we have a heat dome sitting over the southwest. that's going to slide over texas as we go throughout the week and eventually toward the southeast. temperatures will be warming up on the east coast toward the end of the week. we have a lot of heat advisories, heat warnings, 47 million people impacted. all the way through the panhandle of california. we have numerous record highs that could be broken today, including del rio. it could be 111. their old record is 106. for texas, it's pretty extreme heat. even through the middle of the week, it doesn't end. lubbock is going to be 108. how about washington, d.c.? you've had 17 days in a row at 90-plus. your all-time record is 21. so what's the forecast this week? of cours

joining me now with more on this is msnbc weather reporter bill karins. bill, what's it look like from your perspective? >> first of all, let me say i'm really glad we're doing this story. there's a watchdog group that monitors all the media to see how many climate stories they do. we're down 80% this year on the number of media climate stories being presented to the public. it's not like the problem has gone away. it's obviously we have everything from the pandemic to the election and the black lives matter and it's just taken a back seat. so it shouldn't, though. we still have to address this. this isn't a problem that's going to go away in the next 5, 10 years, even 20, 30, 40, 50 years from now. what we found out is so far for the first half of this year, we're on pace for the second hottest year to date. all-time record heat, this big blob of red, what's been going on in siberia in the northern siberia toward the arctic circle, it's been so unusually warm it's ridiculous. in north america, even areas of canada have been cooler than normal. but this an

time for bill karins to check in with the forecast. hey, bill. >> yeah.this klahoma city that's one of the spots we're watching thunderstorms rolled through this morning there was a ton of lightning and a lot of thunder that's now pushing out later on this afternoon, a slight chance and i don't think we're going to see widespread severe storms but we will see isolated strong storms from boston to bridgeport and also for our friends in raleigh to charlotte. if we're going to get severe storms today and any tornadoes, that is likely going to occur in a section from nebraska and also colorado and a few strong storms may head towards minneapolis/st. paul later on today >>> good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. let's take a live look outside in walnut creek as we get started, and we're starting out with mild weather. it will be slightly cooler today compared to yesterday, but we are still looking at a wide range in temperatures from some mid-60s near the coast to some low 90s for the inland, east bay, even upper 90s further to the north. as we go through

to do that, we go to none other than bill karins for the meteorologist's forecast.ing on there. something's brewing in the atlantic. >> i know. by the end of today, we could have tropical storm watches and warnings from virginia to southern new england including new york city. it's not every day new york city gets a tropical storm watch or warning. it's all possible because of this here. this little storm in wilmington has a potential to get stronger. hurricane hunters will go there and decide whether to call it a tropical storm. let's get into it and show you the latest. the hurricane center saying 80% chance that this develops into at least a tropical depression. if it does get a name, it would be faye. here's the development zone over the outer banks today. so here's how it's all going to play out. later on the storm will be over cape hatteras. very little rain. maybe a little bit around virginia beach. as the storm gets a little bit stronger, it throws rain back inland, even as far as washington, d.c., on friday. a period of rain is likely from cape may, marylan

. >> for a first look at your forecast, let's go to meteorologist bill karins. >> hey, good monday morning month we watch three things happening. this is usually typically our hottest month of the year. this is when the fire season gets going, when we get the big blazes. by the end of the month, that's when the tropics get more active and we see tropical waves and we look in all different directions. we have one minor area that's of interest in the tropics. the hurricanes are attracting it and we could get a tropical disturbance or depression out of it by the end of the week. right now if you look closely at tallahassee, the "t" in tallahassee, there's a spin on the map. that's the center of the storm. we don't think there's a chance of a development over the next two days. the overnight update has it only at 1%. once it potentially moves off the coast, that's when we get to the 40% range. if it does verng likely it will be wednesday or thursday off the north carolina coast, possibly near the outer banks. notice the bend toward the coast. a few of our computer models take this little storm

here's bill karins good morning >> they've had enough of this one.reas of the south will slightly cool off but the sinking air is over the south and it's going to slide to the southeast. we have 39 million people under heat warn whattiings from lubboo san angelo it will feel like 106 in dallas today. all of the south is just unusually hot. more of a dry heat in west texas where it's more of a humid type heat in areas of the southeast by wednesday afternoon it's more of the same and notice that we start to see some of that heat spreading to the southeast and by the time wee in for a coolish summer day in a few spots. look at san angelo today, over 110. we'll take a look at that severe weather threat later on this afternoon. that's coming up a little later. >>> coming up, the turbulent moment when a belligerent yeflr forces a plane to make an emergency landing. >> and california introduces the world to the census cowboy ours. try new microban 24. spray on hard surfaces to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria initially. once dry, it forms a bacteria shiel

had a hot trend across much of the country and it's going to continue bill karins is in for al this morning. hi, bill morning. >> good morning to you guys. yeah the longer the heat waves go, usually the more dangerous and deadly they get. we still have one more really bad day on the east coast then a little bit of relief for some. we have 69 million people under heat advisories and heat warnings that includes much of new jersey, areas around the chesapeake that's going to be some or the worst of it. how hot will it feel we have a chance to hit 100 degrees in washington, d.c., for the first time in four years remember, these temperatures are in the shade it'll feel like 108 in philadelphia 110 in atlantic city 103 in new york city and areas in the south, it's still hot but not exceptionally hot. you're more used to it than us in the northeast it'll feel like 100 in the shade. that's the big weather story of the day. now here's a look at your local forecast right after this. nonow is the time to support the places you love. spenend 10 dollars or more at a participating small business and get

we are beginning a new week and let's do so with meteorologist bill karins. good morning. >> hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. now we're watching another hot he week, it's july, we expect that. but there's a little trop colonel disturbance along the northern portion of the florida panhandle. it can bring us overnight rain, no gusty winds or anything, but the hurricane center thinks the next two days, 10% will mostly be over land. but over the next five days after it comes off the southeast coast and near the gulf stream waters, quo develop this into a tropical disturbance. the biggest impact will be locally heavy rain, it wils get. one of the hotter spots will be washington, d.c., boston feeling like 105 today along with our friends in ohio. >>> even that week ahead forecast coming up and if you like it hot and steamy, it's coming to an area near now >> if not, turn on the ac. p thank you, bill. >>> the six-time winner mike i can tsuto gave it their best. he finished with 48.5 dogs down. joey chestnut broke the all time men's report with 75 hot dogs in t

. >>> let's get a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. i have to say, i was watching dr. fauci's pitch yesterday and i thought to myself, it's really good he's a doctor. >> they missed such a moment, though, yasmin. who was producing that. imagine if he had gone out to the mound. he obviously hasn't thrown the baseball in a while. imagine if he walked closer to the catcher, measured six feet, and then threw the first pitch. it could be educational and fun. i know. they've got to call me up before they do these things. >> he was responsibly socially distant, and he was a really good sport. he is a huge fan of the nationals, so i'm sure he was really excited to be out there. wow, that pitch was one for the books. >> he was a little too far distanced. >>> let's get into this forecast because we've got an active period in tropics. we've got three different storms we're tracking. we'll call it a tropical frenzy. the one of immediate concern is the one that heads to the coast. this is tropical storm hannah. the water in the gulf of mexico is ext

. >>> okay let's check back in with nbc meteorologist bill karins who has been tracking the covid numberskend, let's just say it like that, when it comes to covid numbers. we're thinking about 200,000 folks testing positive over the last three days or so. >> yeah. we're still waiting to, you know, hit the little crescendo here, hit the top of the wave or peak or crest, whatever you want to call it here's what happened yesterday on sunday. i know yasmin talked about the total three-day numbers for friday, saturday, sunday but just on sunday, 65,279 that breaks the previous sunday record by 7,000. we're going to hit the mark for total number of cases. you can see where we were back in april you can see the low decrease was around june 14th, and ever since then we've been spiking up so the new seven-day average is 68,680 per day and i also want to look at where we are on the total testing. we've had 48 million tests given. some have taken multiple tests the positive rate is 8%. it's not spiking up, but it is slowly rising up right now the current seven-day average is 791 comparable to last s

with that, let's get a chk-in with nbc meteorologist bill karins.w you're going to be but that is smd good neis some the vaccine front as we've been awaiting something to come out, hoping that it does emerge on the markets early on next year. >> yeah, we're also desperate for good news, yasmin, to hear about some progress where we are in the trials. yeah, it's painful, we have to wait for another six months before the vaccine but who knows. let's go through the numbers of what we definitely do know what was reported yesterday. and let's go through some of them and start with the total cases. we do have this rapid increase going on in a few states yesterday, new cases, 65,950. we had a california record of 9561. texas reported their second single most cases for a single day at 11,060. where are we? increase began one month ago on june 14th. the daily average is 63,693. that's a 40,000 increase. as far as fatality 937 deaths reported. now, because of a week ago we had this number that was above 937, we actually had a small drop yesterday in the seven-

. >>> first let's go to the great bill karins with a check on the forecast. i know we were look at new hampshire over the weekend where the president was going to hold a rally. >> yes. >> i guess there was a terrible storm that prevented it. i didn't see it, did you? >> that was friday. actually, i heard you talking about it and i looked up all the info. it was mist and drizzle until 9:00 a.m. saturday morning and no more rain the entire day on saturday. turned out to be a nice afternoon. you guys were right with everything you were saying about the forecast. let's get into the story this week. it's the heat. washington d.c. going for a little sneaky record here. you've had 17 days in a row in our nation's capitol of 90 plus your historic record is 21. we're four days from that. here's the forecast for this week, 90s across the board. we could tie it on thursday, break it on friday. all time record streak for heat in washington d.c. the heat is the story across the country. typically this is what you expect in july but this was hot by these standards. yesterd

we'll talk about what's happening in that city but first to bill karins for a check on the forecast. >>> this is my only opinion yated map. this is what we call the misery index, when you talk about the humidity and how gross the air feel we get to the miserable category when we get to the orange it's miserable from philadelphia, new york, down to d.c., this is as humid as it gets from the middle of the country to the east coast. that's why we have the heat advisories and warnings up because at night we haven't cooled off that much and then the sun comes up and the temperatures skyrockets. philadelphia is under a heat warning, the norfolk/virginia beach area is under a heat warning. we have a chance to hit 100 degrees in washington d.c. for the first time in four years and it will feel like 109 in the shade in washington d.c. look at atlantic city, that's gross, 110 new york up to about 103 areas to the southeast continue to feel warm, too. the week ahead, chance of storms in the middle of the country, by wednesday, we cool off in the northeast. and if you want the reward, that's on
