Evergreen, 28 to 36 inches. Denver, another foot and a half. Boulder, colorado, up to 20 inches. Vail, colorado, 6 inches. In the meantime. Weve got severe weather, still popping up, severe thunderstorm watches until 2 00 p. M. , from central illinois, all the way into missouri. We have heavy showers, thunderstorms in this area. So what were going to be looking for, the highest risk for storms today, oklahoma on into missouri.

But guys, those temperatures, those warm temperatures are short lived. By next week, were back down to normal conditions with temperatures in the low 40s and upper 30s into the midwest. Guys . All right, al. Thank you. Well check back in just a bit. Turning now to the uncertain future of tiktok here in the u. S. , a bill that could ban the popular app over National Security concerns passed its first test in the house. And while President Biden says he supports the measure, it is facing an uncertain future in the senate. Nbcs senior capitol hill correspondent garrett hake joins us now. Hes got more on this one. Hey, garrett, good morning. Reporter hey, hoda, good morning. The overwhelming bipartisan nature of this house vote, along with just how fast it came together, in a congress that does not do anything quickly, is a sign of lawmakers concern about what they believe are the National Security risks of this Popular Video app, used by more than 170 million americans. But now tiktoks users are pushing back, and its not clear what steps washington or tiktok will take next. For social media giant tiktok, an uncertain future this morning, as a bill calling for the company to split from its Chinese Parent Company or be shut down now heads to the senate. The u. S. House on wednesday in a rare and overwhelmingly bipartisan vote, passing the measure that requires tiktoks Parent Company, bytedance, to sell the app within six months. Republican Mike Gallagher wrote the bill. What you say to people that just fundamentally dont understand why the app where they watch silly dance video is a National Security threat . The possibility for dangerous propaganda is too immense to allow one of our foremost adversaries to have this control over what is increasingly becoming the dominant News Platform in america. Reporter lawmakers and National Security experts have long been concerned with bytedances ties to the Chinese Communist party, which can and does store data from american users, partly because of a National Security law that requires Chinese Companies to share data and other information with the government. The reason that is valuable to the Chinese Communist party, it begins to allow them to know how to influence americans. Reporter in its annual threat assessment, the u. S. Intelligence Community Says that china used tiktok in the 2022 midterms, warning that it could do so again in this falls president ial election. Tiktok has repeatedly denied any connections to the chinese government, with the companys ceo responding to the house vote late wednesday. We will continue to do all we can, including exercising our legal rights, to protect this amazing platform. Reporter just 65 house members, mostly democrats, opposed the bill. Its an overly broad bill that i dont think would stand First Amendment scrutiny. The other issue is that there are a lot of people who make their livelihoods on this. Including creators like j. T. It is 100 of our income. Its how i feed my wife and three children. Reporter even some who support a divestment see a doubleedged sword in an election year, with more than 20 of American Voters using tiktok at least once a day. Cutting out a large group of young voters is not the bestknown strategy for reelection. So this is a process, garrett. What happens next . Reporter hoda, well now this bill goes to the senate and they dont seem in much of a hurry to deal with it. Leader Chuck Schumer said only that the senate will review it. But if this bill does get passed in the senate, signed by President Biden, it would give six months for this sale to occur and thats without an almost inevitable court challenge. So the bottom line, hoda, tiktok is not going anywhere soon. Still on politics, its a busy day ahead in the 2024 president ial race. President biden will be campaigning in michigan, one of the key battleground states. He carried it in 2020. Donald trump heading to florida. He will attend a hearing in his classified documents case. Nbcs Peter Alexander has got it covered. Peter, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning to you. There is, of course, a long way to go in this president ial race, but it begins in earnest this week, with both President Biden and former President Trump just clinching their partys respective nominations. And to give you a sense of the urgency already here, President Biden just wrapped up what was his ninth visit to wisconsin this key swing state, since taking office. While the former president is off the trail and in a courtroom today. This morning, with a general election fight off to the races, President Biden will campaign in michigan, while former President Trump returns to court in florida, as part of his classified documents case. I took them very legally. And i wasnt hiding them. Reporter mr. Trump praising the judge in his Georgia Election interference case, after he dismissed 6 of the 41 criminal counts against mr. Trump and his codefendants, including one charge involving mr. Trumps phone call to georgias secretary of President Biden is hitting his second midwest battleground in two days, first wisconsin, now michigan, where both races are expected to be highly competitive this fall. The president emphasizing his bipartisan success, investing in americas infrastructure. My predecessor talked about infrastructure week for four years. He didnt get a single thing done. Reporter but one key challenge, stubborn inflation. At alley boys bagel in milwaukee, the owners have felt pressure from rising costs, but support President Bidens views on social issues like reproductive rights. I do feel that a lot of the issues that he touches on are not just meant for today but for future generations that hes not even going to see. Reporter in waukesha county, matt leopards republican politics are on full display at his auto body shop. He says America Needs four more years of mr. Trump. I want my economy back, i want our National Security back, i want our tax money to stay here. Reporter also likely to make headlines today, in a powerful and symbolic move emphasizing the white houses commitment to the issue of reproductive rights, Vice PresidentKamala Harris will visit a planned parenthood clinic that provides Abortion Services in minnesotas twin cities. Its believed to be the first time that a president or Vice President has ever made such a visit while in office. Savannah and hoda back to you. All right, Peter Alexander, thank you very much. We have a lot more to get to. 7 14. Craig joins the table. Stuff overseas going on. Yeah, hoda, savannah, good morning. Good morning to you as well.

Yes with questions still swirling around that edited photo of princess kate, her husband, Prince William, is set to make a highprofile public appearance today at an event honoring his mothers legacy. Nbcs molly hunter joins us from Buckingham Palace good morning reporter good morning, as the questions keep coming, weve actually learned that well see both brothers, Prince William and prince harry tonight at an event in london, although separately, and the legacy of their mother looms large take a look. This morning, on two different continents, both Prince William and prince harry preparing for a royal event near to their hearts the legacy awards tonight in london, put on by the diana award nonprofit in honor of their late mother. Back in 2017, both brothers were there in person for the inaugural event. And tonight, Prince William will present the awards, giving a short speech, and later, prince harry will speak with the recipients separately and virtually to celebrate their accomplishments. This comes as Prince William carries on with public royal duties as Kensington Palace stays mum on kate. But the late princess of wales legacy looms large as the current princess of wales stays out of sight in recent years, prince harry has spoken frequently about the threat of media attention. Of course, leading to his move to the states with his family. Rarely do we have a holiday without someone with a camera jumping out of a bush or something. Within the family, within the system, the advice thats always given is, dont react. Dont feed into it reporter and on this side of the pond, Kensington Palace has been clear, kate will recuperate in private there will be no rolling health updates. William regards the media with suspicion i think his instinct is to try to keep a lid on things, as much as possible. The problem is that if you go back to the age of diana, life middle. As the headlines waned days after that photo was was so simple. There wasnt this nightmarish social media thing in the middle reporter as the headlines waned days after that photo was posted, the sun implored readers to lay off kate and the daily mail today, give kate a break. The public and the media do not have the intent interest in the king that they do in the princess of wales, kate. She is a different matter for them altogether. Reporter now, as you just heard, a different matter entirely and its been really interesting, guys, watching how Buckingham Palace has been dealing with king charles undergoing cancer treatment. They feel a responsibility to show the 75yearold monarch to the public just this week, we have seen multiple pictures, weve seen him drive back and forth so thats how this palace is treating their principle Kensington Palace clearly operating a very different way ill send it back to you guys. Molly, thank you. Turning now to a bit of a feud thats playing out in public between former cnn host don lemon and elon musk. Lemon was set to premiere a new webbased show next week on x, formerly called twitter, of course but after the two sat down for an interview, lemon says musk pulled the plug on that show nbcs business correspondent, brian cheung, is following this one for us brian, good morning. Good morning, guys. It was supposed to be part of the next chapter for the two highprofile men lemon launching a new show after being fired from cnn and musk bringing exclusive content to his recently purchased platform, x. But just 24 hours after lemon interviewed musk for what was supposed to be the launch of that very show, he says it all came crashing down this morning, a highprofile deal between two unlikely partners imploding, after a confrontational interview between former cnn anchor, don lemon, and elon musk, turned tense during a taping of the new the don lemon show, that was supposed to debut next week on musks platform, x. Lemon pushing the billionaire endorsed antisemitism and conspiracy theories. Hate speech on the platform is up. Do you believe that x and you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform. That you wouldnt have to answer these questions from reporters about the great replacement theory, as it relates i dont have to answer these questions. The great replacement theory as it relates to jewish people, do you think i dont have to answer questions from reporters. Don, the only reason i did this interview is because youre on the x platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, i would not do this interview. The interview also covering interview. Reporter the interview also covering musks depression and drug use, as well as the businessmans recent conversations with former President Trump. Did he ask you for money . He didnt reporter hours later, lemon says he received a short text from musk that read, contract is canceled they were a distribution partner, so he never was my boss, he never had any editorial control of the show. Reporter musk firing back on a post on x, saying the shows approach was basically just cnn but on social media, which doesnt work xs own account online defending its right to terminate the relationship, but adding, quote, the don lemon show is welcome to publish its content on x without censorship. The move reigniting the arguments about the balance of free speech and misinformation on the platform. Free speech is meaningless unless you allow people you dont like to say things you dont like reporter as for lemon, he was fired from cnn last year following controversial comments about women, including thenrepublican president ial candidate, nikki haley, that were seen as sexist and ageist nikki haley isnt in her prime, sorry when a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40 lemon publicly apologized at the time, saying he was committed to doing better as for whats next, a spokesperson for lemon tells nbc news he expects to still be paid for the partnership, but an x representative said there was no signed agreement between the don lemon show and x, setting the stage for a potential legal showdown, as far as the guys. All interview, lemon says he will post on monday on youtube as well as x, guys. All right, thank you, brian still ahead, an n sync performance more than a decade in the making.

Writing on instagram, i went from feeling completely fine one day to waking up in a hospital bed after a tenhour surgery the next munn, who many know from her role on hbos the newsroom writes, im lucky. We caught it with enough time that i had options she said her doctor saved her life when she did a Breast Cancer assessment. Munns score was high. 37 , according to the actress post a 37. 5 chance what does that 37 mean . In her case, 37. 3 was her lifetime risk for Breast Cancer. And the way i explain it to my patients, if you had a 37. 5 chance of boarding a plane that would crash, would you ever board that plane said she wasn to be going in for another mammogram for a year. What would have happened in that year, potentially . Her cancer would have grown. She had an aggressive cancer.

Her partner, john mulaney commenting on her announcement post, saying, thank you for fighting so hard to be here for us malc and i adore you steph, thank you. Let us bring in nbc news medical distributor dr. Tara narula so something so interesting in the olivia munn story, this cancer Risk Assessment tool, which is something that she credits for saving her life, along with her doctor. Tell us a little bit about that. So many women have not heard about this, its not really brought up with their ob gyn or primary care doctors provider, although you can do it on your own. It takes about five minutes, and really, what it does is give you a sense, are you lowrisk dwoching Breast Cancer, or are you high risk . At five years during your lifetime. The most common model, you can go on and look it up, is called the gayle model. It looks at seven factors. Your we know about mammograms, but you had a breast biopsy, has that shown atypical cells, your family history, when did you first get your first period and when did you have your first child. It will tell you your fiveyear risk and life time risk. The reason this is so important, if you have a high risk score, then it can help you in a sense that you may be asked to get genetic screening. You may be having conversations around surgery, around drugs like tamoxafin that can decrease the risk of developing it or getting mri as olivia munn did in this case it can change your management and its so great that were talking about it and her mammogram was fine, then her doctor took it upon herself to do this Risk Assessment thats right. Then she got checked out and finds out that shes got cancer. I feel like mammograms miss a lot. They are not perfect. They are one of the better tools that we have, but sometimes they will be combined with things like ultrasounds or mris in the right setting. Thank you, dr. Narula lets switch gears.

Its 8 10 with a family we just love and an update on their remarkable journey a set of twins born conjoined and separately successfully separated are living in fact, theyre celebrating a new milestone and well catch up with them in just a moment we will. Just one more moment, right after this story its been more than a year since ella and eliza fuller made their entrance into the world, from the very beginning, the je calling them their hugging twins, after spending months in the nicu, the girls had an inseparable bond. Their bodies conjoined at the abdomen. Their parents sandy and jesse calling them their hugging twins, after spending months in the nicu, the two were brought in for surgery at texas Childrens Hospital in houston late june. Dr. Alice king led a team of 17. Six hours later, dr. King delivered the news everyone had been praying for everything went very, very smoothly thank you so much we caught up with the family as they finally got ready to bring the girls home when they were 4 months old. Theyre beautiful and happy and seemingly very healthy tell us how they are this morning, sandy right now, this second, theyre a little sleepy. But overall, theyre good. Tell me about that moment when the surgery is successful and for the first time, you have a moment that so many of us take for granted, where the two babies are apart and in two different cribs and youre able to hold them separately. I was super excited to see them separate and doing good and its definitely getting easier as the days go on. Theyre getting better, stronger, and were doing great. Today, the twins are stronger than ever, and still love to be by each others side the girls are growing right on track, theyre eating, theyre doing fantastic. They just look absolutely perfect. Together with their big sister, emmy, the fuller girls continue to bring laughter and joy wherever they go and after a whirlwind journey, theres even more reason to celebrate. Just a few weeks ago, on march 1st, ella and eliza turned 1 sandy posting a touching tribute to her daughters on social media, writing, happy birthday to my sweet girls, today and every day we celebrate these miracle babies my heart is filled with so much gratitude. And this morning, we get to help celebrate proud parents andy and jesse are here with their 1yearold birthday girls, ella and eliza. So which ones ella . Which is eliza this is ella. And thats eliza so you guys say theyre truly identical. Hard for even you to tell apart, but they have very distinct personalities, which we are seeing right now tell us absolutely. Do you want to you go. Ella is she wants the attention all the time pick me, and eliza is more, i guess you would say, more laid back and, more of the quiet type shes chill its so hard to believe that its been 8 months since this surgery. And now, have we gotten into kind of a normal routine now and how are the girls doing . I heard the doctors say, theyre thriving theyre thriving, theyre fantastic, theyre doing all the things, eating all table food now. They got teeth . Teeth yes, were crawling everywhere, pulling up everywhere. So theyre doing great oh, my gosh and whats it been like what about your big girl, shes a toddler, shes 3 and how is she getting along with her Little Sisters . Oh, she loves it. She loves making them laugh, she tickles their bellies and shes always like, hi, baby, hi, baby. Love you, sister love you she had to adjust to the attention change yeah. But shes doing really great they were conjoined at the belly. It was a very difficult surgery, and i remember speaking to you guys right after and just how emotional that was the girls are clearly so close is that what you sense between the two of them. I mean oh, yeah. Yes tell us theyre very i mean, everywhere they go, theyre together every when every morning, when they wake up, the first thing they do, they stand up and they talk to each other and giggle to each other same thing going to bed, youll hear them in there talking. I cant take it anymore can we come see this lady. Oh goodness. Do you want to come, too . You feel like it shes like, oh, now, now i want my daddy back okay, thats not i dont blame you. Go over to dad weve got another one well, i guess weve lost our touch. Come here, what about you do you want mama okay, okay, well, we tried it was worth a shot. We couldnt resist it are you going to tell them their story . I would try to imagine what you would be telling them as they grow older, but how will you explain what happened . I think that that its going to be fun for them to even watch, just, you know, the videos, this, for them to look back and see this unfold, you know, and read about it. Their futures are so bright their prognosis is essentially, theyre like as though this never happened at all. Like it never happened at all. They dont expect any longterm effects and just continue on like normal. I love it im sorry, we really disrupted we broke up the most beautiful family moment. We couldnt help ourselves we hope you forgive us. Its okay. Its okay well make it up to you craig has a Little Something for you. We heard, because its so hard to tell them apart, you do kind of pink and green, the hospital colorses so we have little gift baskets we have pink for ella, and green for eliza right here oh, my gosh adorable how sweet can you say thank you would you like something .
