chicago, as we learn about the mysterious note he left behind. those stories, plus, degrading and disrespectful. >> what i did was extremely unacceptable. >> cam newton's apology to women. o.j. formerly registers with police as part of his parole. and home run fever. cleveland and houston slug their way over wins over the yankees and red sox. a quadruple header today, on today, friday, october 6th, 2017. >> from nbc news, this is "today," with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today." nice to have you with us for a friday morning. happy to have craig in for matt this morning. >> it's been a very busy week. a busy friday, as well. lots to get to. we start with the newest storm threat that millions of americans face today. >> nate is expected to hit the gulf coast as a hurricane this weekend. but right now, it is cutting a deadly path in central america. that brings us al, who is over from looking at your maps. good morning. >> in central america, 20 people dead at least right now. this is a deadly storm. and it poses a real threat to the gulf coast, the central gulf coast. its current location right now, 60 miles east-northeast of honduras. it's moving north-northwest at 14 miles per hour. cancun in its path. we expect it to cross there late friday night, tonight, into early tomorrow morning. then, out into the gulf. it strengthens into a category 1 storm. now the cone of uncertainty extends out 120 miles either way, so a diameter of 120 miles per hour. sunday morning, it makes landfall as a category 1 storm. we put the u.s. model on top of it. the european model has shifted it a little further west. this would be the worst-case scenario for new orleans because it brings what we call the dirty side or the stronger side of the storm into new orleans, and that would be a big problem. right now we have hurricane watches up. heavy rain, flash flooding. tropical storm-force winds, storm surge and rough surf. last time new orleans had a hurricane watch up was back in 2013. so it's been a while since they've been in the crosshairs. a storm surge threat for five to eight feet above high tide in new orleans, along the louisiana coast. four so seven feet. alabama, two to four feet. and the rainfall amounts, two to three inches, locally five to ten inches. down through new orleans, pensacola. but this thing rockets up, and we're talking anywhere from five to ten inches of rain along that path of nate. in fact, tuesday we'll be looking at rain from nate here in the northeast and new england. >> thank you. now, to new developments in the las vegas shooting investigation. this morning, investigators are piecing together a clearer profile of the shooter. they are also learning more about other cities he may have been targeting for other possible attacks. miguel, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. the mandalay bay is being processed. investigators say some of the best leads could come from cell phones and computers, offering new leads. this morning, a look at the crime scene outside of mandalay bay, a bird's-eye view of the aftermath, the carnage that took place here just five days ago. new images from that night showing panicked concertgoers in a race to stay alive. this as law enforcement officials tell nbc news, that he searched online at fenway's park and at the center of the arts. he went as far as booking a room of a chicago hotel, overlooking the lollapalooza music festival in august, but never checked in. >> it happen appears he was looking for the right venue, the right time. it had to feel right for him. >> reporter: 12 of the guns in paddock's las vegas hotel room, were outfitted with bump fire stocks, that allowed his weapons to function like fully automatic rifles. enabling him to kill 58 people and injure hundreds more just over ten minutes. in light of sunday's shooting, even some top republicans in washington, and the nra, are calling for additional regulations on bump-fire stocks. fire chief greg cassell describing the chaos and initial confusion. >> is there a single event? where we have multiple things going on at multiple properties? >> reporter: the actions of the lone gunman now known. but why is still unclear. officials say his girlfriend, marilou danley, told authorities paddock may have suffered from mental health issues and sometimes would lie in bed crying out, oh, my god. this morning investigators trying to make sense of this senseless massacre. investigators say they received tips that paddock was spotted with a woman the day of the shootings but so far they have not been able to identify that woman. they also say there appears to be no solid evidence that paddock had an escape plan, so they are still working on that. craig and savannah. >> thank you so much. pete williams has more on the investigation. pete, let's pick it up where miguel left off. there's some kind of mental health issue with the shooter. what are you learning? >> that's something they want to dig into. they're getting different accounts of it. his brother said he knew of no mental illness. he was taking valium. some neighbors said he looked like he lost a lot of weight. and there's the girlfriend state of him crying out in agony at night. investigators say they have any health problems to find, physical or mental, that are grave enough to push him into being a killer. >> pete, what more do we know about the note that officials say was found in the hotel room? >> there was a note. you can see it in some of the pictures that were leaked by somebody in the police department. you see it there. local and federal officials say this was not a suicide note. it doesn't say anything about the shooting. it was apparently a bunch of numbers and they are trying to figure out what the significance of that is. >> and the sheriff said the other day, he thought the shooter had some kind of help. have we learned anymore about the working theory there? >> it remains a theory. it's a critical focus of the investigation. but they believe he bought all of the guns himself. and he bought thousands of rounds of ammunition. that's harder to track. in fact, they have already spoke to some of the dealers who sold him the ammunition. >> what about all of the explosives that were found in his car? do officials think he was trying to make a carbomb, as well? >> i've not heard that. they don't know what to make of the explosive material. none of it had been mixed, the stuff called tannerite. it comes in two parts, and you have to mix it together. just sitting in the containers, it wouldn't blow up even if somebody shot at it. there were not enough bomb parts. an investigation is coming from all of the electronic things he left behind. so far, they say, looking at that, they don't see an indication that he was looking on the internet for bomb-making instructions, craig. >> a lot of strands to sort out for investigators. pete, thank you. there's lots more to get to, including a cryptic comment from president trump calling the gathering the, quote, calm before the storm. what storm is he talking about? nbc's andrea mitchell has more on that. good morning. with his national security team in turmoil, president trump and the first lady hosting a dinner. this is the calm before the storm. >> what's the storm? >> could be the calm before the storm. >> what storm, mr. president? >> we have the world's great military people in this room. i'll tell you that. >> what storm, mr. president? >> you'll find out. >> reporter: white house officials did not explain what he meant. this, as the president was furious at his top diplomat, rex tillerson, wednesday. five senior officials tell nbc news, after learning for the first time from an nbc news report wednesday morning that the secretary of state had called him a moron on july 20th following a pentagon meeting on afghanistan. four officials say the president only learned of the insult from the nbc report. mike pence also fuming, according to several officials. he and tillerson talked. and tillerson came out trying to quiet the controversy. >> i have never considered leaving this post. >> reporter: tillerson never denied making the moron report. >> he did not say that. >> reporter: john kelly scrapping plans to travel with the president on wednesday to las vegas, in part, to contain his boss' fury. summoning tillerson and mattis. on thursday night, mattis and kelly were flanking the president when he delivered a warning to iran. previewing a new policy to be announced next week. >> we must put an end to iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions. they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement. >> reporter: at that same meeting with his military advisers just before the dinner we just showed you earlier, the president said, quote, tremendous progress has been made with respect to isis. the media will find out about that. a comment about a coming action, that neither he or his advisers would explain. savannah and craig? >> andrea, thank you. >> lots to shoe over with chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press". i hope you brought your crystal ball or tea leaves. what do you make of the comments? set the scene. the president with the military and their spouses saying this is the calm before the storm. what storm? >> well, i mean, look, i think the storm he's dealing with right now is the storm having to do with rex tillerson. his secretary of state, what to do? does he let him go? the iran deal is going to be a big deal as far as the world is concerned. and there's north korea. i get the idea that there's a bunch of potential avenues. but for what it's worth, internally in that white house, the storm is tillerson. >> do you think it's a question at this point of when, not if, secretary tillerson decides he's had enough? or the president decides he's had enough? >> it looks like a when instead of an if. they're in a situation that's a bit untenable. what is the world seeing here? this isn't the president having a dispute with his labor secretary. this is the president having a dispute with the person that is the face of american diplomacy for the world. so, that -- that's not good for the office of the presidency, to have the secretary of state disparage him. and it's not good for the president to have his leadership questioned like this for around the world. look, i think they're in a situation where it's just not a good place for either one of him. i don't think he can be an effective secretary of state right now. >> according to our reporting, the president was furious when rex tillerson called him a moron. and that's something he did not deny saying. >> that is, i think, what is -- this is why i think when he is referring to a storm, he's referring to that. you wonder if the secretary of state had denied himself saying that word on camera. as you recall, the president was midair when rex tillerson did this extraordinary news conference. he was midair, on his way to las vegas. he was watching live. as our reporting indicates, when he didn't deny that comment, it might as well have been a confirmation. and that just amped up, i think, the president's ire even more. >> the state department denied it but tillerson didn't. >> let's talk about bump-stocks. looks like congress is changing a bit. the nra perhaps behind the legislation that would end these things. do you get the suspicion that we might see more on guns? >> not at all. if anything, i think you will see -- i will be surprised if congress ever votes on this. i think the nra, they made it clear, this would be a regulatory decision by atf. why would they prefer that? they don't -- by the way, i think congressional republican leaders would prefer that. why? they don't want more votes on gun control measures, while they might fail, would be tough votes for some republicans to defend in some parts of the country going into 2018. i don't see this as any sort of first step into a larger conversation on gun regulations. this is a one-off. and it's an attempt to avoid an actual congressional debate and vote. >> chuck todd, with a lot going on, as usual. todd's got a lot more on sunday's "meet the press." todd's interview with steve scalise, what he is saying about gun violence after the las vegas shooting. he, himself, a tragic shooting victim, as well. an update on a story we first told you about on thursday, congressman tim murphy, a republican from pennsylvania is resigning amid a sex scandal. that coming as murphy urged his mistress to have an abortion, when she thought she was pregnant, despite his anti-abortion views. he previously admitted the affair last month, and he announced he will not seek re-election. paul ryan says he supports the resignation. that takes affect october 21st. the nobel peace prize was awarded to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. the nobel committee honored the geneva-based group that draws attention to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons. that's a quote. the committee received the second highest nominations ever. oscar-winning movie producer harvey weinstein is taking a leave of absence following a "new york times" report alleging decades of sexual harassment. in a report says accusers include rose mcgowan and ashley judd. two unnamed officials told "the times" eight women have received financial settlements over the years. weinstein is known for producing films "pulp fiction" and "shakespeare in love." nbc news has not been able to verify the allegations. his attorney says "the new york times" story is, quote, saturated with false and defamatory statements about his client. and he says "the times" ignored evidence presented to them. in his own statement, weinstein said, quote, i came of age in the '60s and '70s when all of rules about behaviors in the work places were different. that was the culture then. it is not an excuse, in the office or out of it. >> all right. let's turn back to al for the rest of your forecast. >> let's see what we have going on. again, in the northeast, a little more humid. october warmth, really setting in. we're looking for coastal flooding and thunderstorms down in florida, and they have nothing to do with nate. we're looking at severe storms we will look at in the next half hour in the central plains and high fire dangers out west. we'll have your forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. walgreens. at the corner of happy & healthy. good friday morning, i'm meteorologist, kari hall. we are waking up to sunshine again today and chilly temperatures. it's only 49 degrees in the tri-valley. 43 degrees in the north bay and san francisco, a milder 55 to start the day with a high today of 73 degrees. oakland will see a high of 78 and upper 80s and lower 90s for inland valley. the temperatures will be on the warm side over the next several days. >> thatt is a your latest weather. >> up an apology from cam newton. what he's saying about his controversial comments. >> also, know about hybrid cars, what about hybrid planes?
