marissa parra in arizona, the forecast high there is 115 degrees. how are people coping in. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, it's hot. a different kind of danger out here, we know what emilie was describing its own type of danger, out here it can be deceiving, people from phoenix, arizona, it gets hot but not for this many consecutive days. if you're going from your car to the house may not be that bad. make no mistake this is deadly. we got a chance to bo inside of an e.r., they're already using overflow, putting a strain on them because they're seeing all kinds of heat-related injuries range prg heat exhaustion, heat stroke, third-degree burns and what you're looking at right now on the screen are physicians, med staff putting together an ice bath because some people are coming in with internal temperatures of upward 107 degrees, one man who died a few days ago had a temperature of 110. those minutes are crucial when they're trying to cool them down. it's not just the med staff, it's first responders, when we talk about the consecutive days this is expe

. >>> first, joining us from south florida is nbc news correspondent marissa parra who is going to be standing by for us there. michelle grossman, our meteorologist. marissa, this heat, so extreme. what is being done to keep people safe in south florida in these brutal temperatures? >> reporter: good morning. we've seen how dangerous it can be from coast to coast. we know the heat dome has been unrelenting, whether in the southwest, in the southeast where we are here. first, i want to start with this dramatic rescue out of california. it appears to be heat-exhausted hikers arrested out of california. we've seen several hikers die even within the last week, we saw deaths outside of las vegas. we saw a death in death valley. so we know that that is something that out west they're saying. out here in florida we have seen people die as a result of getting trapped in their cars. we've seen people die as a result of working outside. when we talk about measures being taken in order to protect people, whether it's people who are working outside for construction, people who are working outside

nbc's marissa parra is in miami which is under an excessive heat warning. nbc meteorologist michelle grossman. marissa, what's it like there today? i see at least a couple people on the beach. >> reporter: we remember the fact that it's 90 degrees, about 90 degrees in terms of the actual temperature, but the heat index is 105. that's the feels-like temperature. it is scorching. obviously not so bad if you're laying along the beach, you have water next to you. but this is just down right dangerous, if not deadly, for people who don't have the ability to access air conditioning and access water. people who are left outside for long periods of time. you just mentioned how deadly this can get. different circumstances here. you have hikers. in death valley you have hikers outside of las vegas who have either needed to be rescued or found dead along a trail and they were ill-prepared or ill-equipped to deal with the heat and those intense temperatures. we're not talking about heat index. we're talking about straight temps, upwards either at or above 110 degrees.

. >>> we will begin with nbc's marissa parra to talk a little bit about the heat. rd-breaking week of heat it has also been very dangerous. what should people know about these conditions? >> reporter: yeah, i mean you mentioned it yourself, just how dangerous it can get. we have seen what we believe to be at least three heat-related deaths across the country this week. we look at arizona for instance. we saw two rescues, two hikers who needed to be rescued as a result of heat-related stress. arizona, specifically tucson, specifically phoenix, they're seeing extreme temperatures of upwards of 110 degrees. you are looking at one of those rescues happening just within the last couple of days here. but then when we talk about the three heat-related deaths, we know two were as a result of people being left inside of their cars without air conditioning. another was a different hiker that was a 57-year-old woman who died while hiking in the grand canyon. again, just lots of conditions that people need to be aware of and need to make sure that they're hydrating, make sure t

nbc's kathy park joins us from washington crossing pennsylvania, nbc's marissa parra is in phoenix, whichhas seen 17 straight days of temperatures above 110 plus degrees. so kathy, what's the latest there? >> reporter: jose, good morning to you. the conditions have improved dramatically. it is sunny, it is dry. so crews out here are taking advantage of this improved weather to continue their ongoing search efforts for those missing kids. we just heard from authorities a few moments ago, and they say that they are tripling their resources. they are leaning on canine units, underwater assets as well as drones. take a look at the damage we are looking at. we are in bucs county, this is probably one of the hardest hit communities. this is bridge, part of it washed away. you have debris scattered everywhere. one official here in the town said that he has not seen anything like this in 44 years, and we also spoke with a gentleman who was on his motorcycle at the time when he was incredibly just swept away but survived. here's what he told us. >> so you were clinging onto trees? >> oh, yeah. >>

claudio and marissa parra, thank you very much. joining me now is meteorologist bill karins.e and everywhere, walk me through it. >> the highlights this weekend. going into the weekend, we knew this was going to be the hottest part of the long duration heat wave. a chance we could get to 130 in death valley. a chance of hitting 117 in vegas. not quite, one degree away from the all time high, we hit 116. and today we tide the record in phoenix, which was mentioned. our friend in el paso, today, 32 of being 100 degrees, each and every day. not typically this hot this long. when will this end? it's not like we went up the mountain and hit the peak. just like a rolling hill. vegas was 116. typically 105. continuing well above average. phoenix, you know, your reward for tying your record today, 117. three days in a row, and all the way towards the upcoming weekend, and the crazy thing about phoenix and i spent summers as a kid in phoenix. wouldn't do anything outside in the middle of the day. at night, the playground, people would play tennis or exercise or play sports outside. th

marissa parra is in south florida, tracking tornadoes, floods, triple digit temperatures. it's hot where you are. what's the latest? >> reporter: you know when you have the hot weather, the severe weather kicks in. in north carolina, the ef 3 tornado snapped power line, ruined homes. there were over a dozen hurt, and the pfizer plant took significant damage. and over in kentucky, that flash flooding, we know the governor of kentucky just tweeted out not long ago that there were several people who had to be rescued from the flash flooding, but so far, no one missing, no fatalities reported. the thing to remember here is the most deadly form of severe weather is actually extreme heat, and that is something we have seen from coast to coast across the country, particularly we're not just talking about here in miami we hit the 40th day of a heat index in the triple digits. we're also talking about over in the southwest, el paso, las vegas, of course phoenix, arizona, where i just got back from, spent several days there. we have seen how this can get not just dangerous, not just

nbc's marissa parra is live for us once again in phoenix.st, i'm glad to see you indoors, but what's it like on the ground today, and are they ready for this weekend? >> reporter: i mean, they're certainly bracing for it, and i can tell you that the phoenix fire department has said that, you know, they come prepared. we're standing inside of the warehouse right now. you can see there's no trucks behind me. they've been out is and about on the streets responding to calls, and many of them heat-related we know, and in fact, when i asked them for numbers, they said since july 6th, they've had at least 261 heat-related calls. they actually think that number might be higher. the symptoms can be deceiving. sometimes they get to a call and realize someone is also going through heat exhaustion. this is something that is so dangerous. you mentioned some of the dangers that people are facing, and actually, we spoke to somebody, a captain with the phoenix fire department who told us that just yesterday they found a man with third degree burns all over

nbc's marissa parra has more from our zone out. >> hey, here in phoenix we are going on 16 days straights, or even higher. it's currently approaching 113 today. now, we are outside of valley wise hospital. they say they have seen an influx in patients from heat related illnesses, whether it is heat exhaustion, burns or, at most severe, heatstroke. a lot of those burns have come from people who are laying on the sidewalk, laying on asphalt. we are talking about people without homes. -- maybe having nowhere else to go. i'm going to point my temperature gauge, so you can see just how hot this is. this is clocking in at almost 180 degrees. so we have seen some people with their degree burns, including one man who is taken here just a couple of days ago. his body temperature was 107 degrees. now, the thing to remember here is that this is not the only place that is seeing extreme heat. we are seeing extreme heat in salt lake city, austin, miami, florida. we understand that they are seeing what looks like temperature and feels like 107 degrees -- but it's not just heat. there is fires in river

nbc meteorologist bill karins is with me, but first i want to bring in nbc's marissa parra live in phoenix which hit a record high 118 degrees over the weekend. i can't even fathom that. one devastating story i heard out of phoenix, a man from his 70s never got home from a bike ride because his bike got a flat tire and he died in the desert. what is the outlook there? >> reporter: it's an important reminder that this heat is not just uncomfortable, it can be deadly, especially for thepopul. we're talking people that don't have homes. the older you get, the younger you get you'll be more susceptible. if yu have some sort of pre-existing condition, you're more at risk with these types of temperatures. of course, the population who can get inside, they are doing exactly that. this is an inside look at a hospital we got a chance to see on saturday. this is one of the ers, valleywise health. they're prepping ice pools, ice baths because they're getting so many patients with heat-related illness, heat exhaustion, heat stroke. we're talking internal body temperatures of 107. because they have so

nbc's marissa parra is in florida, covering messi.round the corner from my apartment is a soccer bar, which is going to be crazy tonight. you're not going to be able to walk down the streets. i can't imagine what it's going to be like where you are. >> reporter: we're already feeling the excitement here, and, chris, don't forget we're having a heat wave in miami. it is hot. we've had 41 consecutive days of triple digit temperatures. what does it tell you that drive pink stadium that normally seats 18,000 people, they had to add an additional 3,000 seats. it was completely sold out. this is a completely packed stadium, even though it is hot, it is muggy. people are excited and they have been for a while. i mean, we've got bus stops with his name on it. people wearing his shirts. we know that those jerseys, those pink jerseys have been such high demand, going for high, high prices. everybody trying to figure out how to get their hands on one. so people have been getting crafty. i have seen people make their own messy shirts. the long an

nbc's marissa parra has more from miami. >> reporter: this is now day 44 in miami of a heat index, we're temperatures in the triple digits. now, not so bad if you're right next to the water, you have plenty of access to air-conditioning, plenty of access to water itself to drink, but it is down right grueling if you are outside, whether that is by choice, whether it is because of your labor, and we're seeing just how dangerous, if not deadly this is. this isn't just here in miami or florida. this is coast to coast, and this has not just been this week. this is something that has stretched on for weeks on end. in phoenix, i was reporting on how first responders are seeing the strain, hospitals are seeing the strain. we have seen rescues for hikers out of the west. we've seen hikers need to be either rescued. we have seen this become deadly for those who have been trapped on the trails. we've also seen this become deadly for those who have suffered from third-degree burns or internal body temperatures upwards of 110 degrees. so we talked about the strain on hospitals in places like arizona

marissa parra, how hot does it feel and how are people dealing with this heat right now. >> reporter: it's unbearably hot. what you won't see is kids playing at this playground. we're definitely seeing cars driving around. people are inside of those cars. but we're not seeing people walk around. what we're seeing and noticing those cooling shelters are being put to good use now. the salvation army we visited they've seen max capacity several days, especially in the last week here, they said, obviously phoenix gets hot in the summer, they're used to having to open their shelter, but what makes this summer different they had to do this earlier and it's hotter than it has been before at least in recent recollection, they were talking about how they're delivering water bottles to people they see. they're delivering goods and services. heat relief packages to people who need it. the worst part of this is it's not even close to being over. expected to get even hotter this weekend. >> yeah, marissa, i'm hoping you're going into air-conditioning now. >>> let's bring in meteorologist bill kari

so, let's first go to marissa parra, who is in erie, pennsylvania. s where donald trump is making his second public appearance since the new charges. marissa, welcome. i know he spoke last night in iowa. he remained defiant. what are we expecting tonight? >> probably more of the same. we saw the iowa republican dinner just last night. i mean, the former president was most defiance, he was deflected, if and what we saw it was just one day after these new charges dropped, he was still met with raucous applause as he did so. listen for yourself. >> they want to weaponize the irs, just like they weaponized the justice department and the fbi. and by the way, if i weren't running, i would have nobody coming after me. or, if i was losing by a law, i would have nobody coming after me. they wouldn't be coming after me. >> so, interesting. alex, we saw the hesitation from his contenders. we had people, 13 different ones, separately, onstage, 12 contenders, including his top rivals. you'll see them on your screen in just a moment there. but you know, these charg

marissa parra is live from phoenix, and gary grumbach is in woodstock, vermont. so marissa, i feel terrible just having you stand out there. how is phoenix coping with this heat? and if it does go on and on as forecasts predict, are they prepared for the long haul? >> reporter: yeah, so i'll talk about how the city is preparing and how residents are coping in just a moment. but for those of you who are watching who are not from the area, who are not living here. i just got here. it feels like stepping into an oven. people have been dealing with these temperatures for two weeks. temperatures upwards of 110 degrees. it is relentless. the fire stations overwhelmed with phone calls from residents who were concerned. we've heard from people who have spoken to nbc talking about and showing us that they have their air conditioner running, and it's still not changing the temperature inside of their own home. some of them unable to afford more air-conditioning, unable to afford resources that would allow that temperature inside of their homes to get even cooler. as you can

marissa parra is in coral gables, florida. today's forecasted to be the 40th straight day of a heat index over a hundred in miami. how is this streak of extreme heat affecting people and the climate there? >> reporter: i mean, listen, you saw that map just now, it's hot all over the south. i just got back from phoenix a couple of days ago and this is different type of heat, whether you're talking about dry heat or the humid heat in miami. in phoenix it was getting upwards of 118 degrees. they broke a record. by the way, we're breaking a record of how many times we're breaking records of how many records are being broken. in phoenix, they just hit a record for the most amount of consecutive days of temperatures over 110 degrees. that's not the heat index that's the straight temperature. we're not just talking about people feeling the brunt of it, animals, we just a saw a woman in miami walking her dog, she had to pick up her dog off the hot asphalt and carry her dog. when it comes to the climate here in florida we talked about

marissa parra in phoenix. claudia is in rome. the tragedy for weekend storms in eastern pennsylvania, i know that area really well. what are you hearing from local officials today? >> reporter: good afternoon to you. the weather has significantly improved from this weekend. the skies are clear. it's dry. there is no rain in the forecast today. so crews are taking advantage of this improved weather to continue actively searching for those two missing kids who were swept away this weekend. it's heartbreaking to share their story. they were visiting from south carolina with their family and their car got stuck in the floodwaters and their mother is among the dead. we heard from authorities a few moments ago giving us an update on the search efforts. take a listen. >> we have search teams that are assisting us from delaware, chester, parts of bucks county, new jersey, we also have deployed k-9 units, underwater assets and air assets. as you're aware this is going to be a massive undertaking involving the coordination and cooperation

phoenix, which has already logged 13 straight days above 110 degrees is nbc news correspondent marissa parra. also with us is meteorologist angie lassman. i grew up in phoenix. in the summer i'm used to putting a tray of cookie dough out on the dash and seeing how quickly it bakes or the metal on that seat belt singing your skin. what we're talking about is different. >> it's no secret, phoenix is hot. everyone who lives here told me they expect it to get hot in the summer. there's a reason why there are schools called the sun devils. this is a place that knows its heat. but when i speak to people who work at places like a salvation army, what they're saying is they're seeing this starting earlier where they're having to extend their hours for their cooling shelters. having to open it up on the weekends. they're doing that sooner than they're used to, and they're putting in that overtime for such a long stretch of time that they haven't seen in a while. i mean, we're talking about 13 days of these record high temps and more records just keep getting broken. so the thing to remember, we all k

let's go to nbc's marissa parra who's sweating it out in washington, d.c., 97 degrees there, storms aret way, and yet, you look calm, cool, and collected. how does that work? >> reporter: well, first of all, i have a handy dandy fan here to keep me cool when i'm doing live reports in the heat. that helps a lot, and you probably can't see, but it's been raining off and on. we're getting a break from it right now, but you'll probably hear a crack of thunder not too far from town. those storms are definitely hitting over here in d.c., but really those oppressive temperatures are being felt the worst over in places like tucson and phoenix, arizona, where today it's supposed to be upwards of 110 degrees. now, we talk about how inconvenient the heat is, but it's also dangerous. we know that there were two hikers in arizona that had to be rescued due to heat stress within the last couple of days, and then more nationally. we see at least three different deaths related to heat this week. so over 90 million americans expected to feel temps over 90 degrees. but then we talk about the other impact

nbc news correspondent marissa parra has the latest from phoenix. >> reporter: make no mistake, it is. even here in phoenix. people are used to the heat. they're used to the summer sun here in the desert. but they said the difference, well, it just feels different this summer. it is not only a little hotter, at this time of the year than they were expecting but for a lot longer. in fact, we are seeing this all across the area, take a listen to sort of the compilation of what people have to say about the summer heat right now. >> it is 102. >> it is super hot out here. and so like the bottom of my shoes, i'm worried that it is going to be stuck to the concrete. >> i came prepared, because i knew without it, i would die out here. >> 100 degrees for two weeks almost. crazy. >> very overwhelming and hot. >> so back out here in phoenix, there is a lot of people, putting in overtime, to try to keep the city cool, trying to keep the residents hydrated, and you can imagine, especially for the homeless population, that is a difficult path that they have seen, the salvation army, going out to t

marissa parra is in south florida and it may be the second half before fans see the argentina legendin general. just thinking about both of the games happening tonight, between of course, you have the women's team, and then of course, behind me he at dry pink stadium, messi making his debut. there is a lot of excitement. you can't drive very far in miami without seeing messi likenesses somehow, somewhere, whether it is graffiti under a bridge, whether it is a bus stop, with its face plastered on it, we've seen buses passing by, and of course people wearing different versions of his face, or his name on their shirts, and of course, those jerseys in hot, high demand right now. but when we talk about the messi mania, the messi effect, we know that ticket prices have gone up 500%, and that is according to ticket iq, so there is just not, not just expected among soccer fans itself, because remember, this is a worldwide beloved sport. the most, the most beloved worldwide sport. but it hasn't really taken off in the u.s. the same way it has in other parts of the world. so a lot of them are
