brown grass, depleted rivers and stunted crops evidence of a brutal summer, and it's getting worse. >> a tree just like a human will turn around and protect itself when it gets stressed. so part of that stress is to drop fruit prematurely. >> reporter: keith bishop has witnessed the impacts firsthand on his family farm in connecticut. parts of the state entering an extreme drought this week. >> as you can take and see, the berries are not the size of a dime like they normally would be and they drop off very easily. >> reporter: similar scenes in new jersey under its first statewide drought watch in six years. >> this was a beautiful cornfield that was at least this tall last year by this time. it was beautiful. >> reporter: farmers are worried that without rainfall soon, their crops will dry up and with them, profits. >> i was asking my mother, have you ever seen this she was like, not this bad. >> reporter: not a single part of massachusetts, rhode island or connecticut is free of drought. and in new york, high

temperatures and little rainfall have prompted officials to limit water usage in rockland county, where a key water source runs low. >> let's reduce the outdoor water use. we can all do this we all love green grass, but there's always next year. >> reporter: meanwhile across the country, another kind of extreme. parts of the southwest could see up to 6 inches of rain, as millions brace for flooding. and in zion national park friday, flash floods sent hikers scrambling for dry ground, with similar conditions expected this weekend. just as death valley national park reopens in nearby california severe downpours there caused millions of dollars of damage to roads and facilities in recent weeks. historic conditions heightening concerns around climate change and the west drought only exacerbates flash flooding concerns with that extra dry soil easily washed away by any kind of precipitation. meanwhile in the northeast, waiting for rain, water cuts are

being implemented here in rockland county. residents can only water their lawn on certain days and restaurants are banned from serving customers water unless they specifically ask for it guys, back to you. >> just remarkable to hear that warning from new york's governor thank you for that. >> too dry the water just pours by. time to check our forecast right now. we want to turn to that. this is extreme weather of all kinds. >> we are kicking monsoon season into high gear today and those burn scars we see in the southwest are going to exacerbate the situation so 8 million people are waking up to the risk of flooding today from arizona into new mexico and parts of texas let's superimpose the radar on here and there are copious amounts of rain already falling in areas like albuquerque, down into el paso and roswell we actually have an elevated risk in areas like truth and consequences down to el paso and tucson for flash flooding today. we're at a moderate risk level

it's much more elevated than we've seen in past weekends. let's go ahead and take a look right now at the culprit behind all of this. it's an upper level disturbance that's bringing heavy rain into parts of arizona and new mexico and that's going to kick off today, stick around through tonight. we'll see excessive runoff that will cause this flash flooding and then we see it start to transition to parts of northern texas as we head through your sunday you know what else will help bring moisture into texas? a tropical system. right now we have the potential fourth tropical storm, named tropical storm of our season if it becomes named we're looking at tropical storm danielle and that will bring moderate to heavy rain into areas like we're waking up to pretty much partly clear skies in san francisco. 58 degrees right now. temperatures will bump up into the 60s by the afternoon. the interior valleys can expect to see a pretty big warmup. here's a closer look at some of the headlines that we'll be

propose, the plant, the problem will be solved. >> reporter: undersecretary of state bonnie jenkins telling nbc news that radiation could spread far beyond ukraine. >> the best way to deal with the situation is for russia to give control back to ukraine of the zaporizhzhia power plant, or if not that, to certainly allow for a demilitarization zone around the power plant. >> reporter: russia has rejected both of those ideas. but in a friday phone call, president putin told french president emmanuel macron that russia is willing to let the u.n. send nuclear experts to the plant. the big question is when, and will it be soon enough here in zaporizhzhia, ukraine's nuclear energy company has encouraged pregnant women and childrento leave because they could be at the highest risk for radiation. president zelenskyy saying if russia's extortion with radiation continues, this summer may go down as one of the most tragic in european history ukraine also stepping up its counteroffensive to wrest back territory and put russia on the

defensive, with strikes deep in russian-held territory, including in crimea. russian officials reporting more drone strikes overnight. a ukrainian official telling nbc news that recent explosions in crimea are the work of pro-ukrainian saboteurs and hinting at more to come. a key concern at that power plant is that russian shelling could cause damage to the massive amounts of spent nuclear fuel there but experts say perhaps the biggest risk is that shelling would knock out the power supply to the cooling systems that keep the nuclear reactors from overheating. a disaster there could send radiation spreading deep into europe, kristen and peter. >> and the world is watching closely. josh lederman in ukraine, thank you. there is some important news this morning for apple users the company just announced a serious security vulnerability with those popular devices and computers. george solis is in philadelphia with more on what you need to be doing right now to protect yourself and your data george, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, peter.

if you own an apple device, this is something you definitely want to pay attention to. apple warning of that security vulnerability that could allow hackers to take complete control of your device that means a hacker could pose as you to access your information and run programs acting as you. apple saying it was an anonymous researcher that tipped them off to the security vulnerability. we're talking it affects a whole host of your devices, from your ipads to your mac books to even your iphones which devices specifically, apple putting out a list to give a little guidance. they say anyone that owns an iphone 6s and later model should pay attention. anyone with a fifth gen ipad and later models should look at this update any ipad and all ipad pro models should consider looking at this update imac and mac books running that monterey system should do the update as soon as possible how can you tell if you're at risk apple is generally pretty good about letting you know when your

system needs an update if you need to check, and you should, on a mac book it's pretty simple. go to your system preferences and go ahead and look for the software update tab. looking at mine, it looks like this is good to go go to the systems tab, general and right there you would be able to find the system update preference a little bit more advice here, you want to do this with a full battery. nothing like doing an update and having your device die of course having a little wi-fi helps, although it's not a total requirement. i ran these updates yesterday and generally depending on the device took about five to ten minutes. guys, look, we are all dependent on these devices so this is definitely not an update that you want to postpone peter and kristen. >> yeah, this is me looking at > well, we do want to tell you about a scary scene at south carolina's most popular beach when two swimmers were attacked by sharks at myrtle beach in separate incidents

according to police, one of the victims suffered a serious injury to the arm while the other a less serious bite to the leg. the attacks happened about a half a mile and an hour apart, but authorities say there's just no way to know if they are related. now to a bizarre scene in massachusetts where an elderly woman drove her suv through the second floor corridor of a mall in boston. the driver who was confused went from a pedestrian bridge from a parking garage and went right through the automatic double doors. she was able to get through because a safety post had been removed earlier after a separate accident she then drove about 60 yards into the mall before getting stuck. the good news is nobody there was hurt police have now asked that that woman's driver's license be immediately suspended. let's lighten things up and get our weekend morning boost. joe? >> hey there so graduation season, turns out it's not over yet. this is a different type of graduation day with folks who are taking an oath to serve and protect. and for cleveland police academy graduate stephanie martinez, her
