Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Matt shoveled his way and made it back. New storm coming. I know, sunday. It is a whole different world 90 miles to the east where dylan dreyer is. Lets start with our top story, that new message from isis militants overnight as two countries try to free hostages the terror group is threatening to kill. Nbcs katie tur has the latest on this. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. The japanese say they believe the voice on this latest recording is that of kenji goto, asking for his life and the life of a pilot in exchange for a would be suicide bomber. The deadline is right about now. I am kenji goto. This is a voice message i have been told to send to you. Reporter isis claims this is the voice of kenji goto explaining the recent demands. The lives of isis captives, a jordanian military pilot. For the release of would be suicide bomber on death row in jordan and if it ises not met, they say they will kill him immediately. In japan, vigils, while japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe responded angrily, saying, these lowly acts of terror are something we cannot forgive. Speaking to reporters, gotos mother says the Prime Minister is doing everything he can to bring her son home. As for jordan, they have agreed to release an iraqi woman in prison for trying to blow herself up at an amman hotel for their Fighter Pilot but made no mention of goto. They claim they have beheaded the other hostage on saturday after initially demanding a 200 million ransom. The japanese government says they have been in close contact with the jordanian government but wont specify what moves they may make. Right now, japanese journalists are lined up at the turkey border hoping to see their colleague again. Matt, even if the prisoner release goes as planned, it is unclear whether goto or the jordanian pilot will be released as well, only that they wont be executed. Katie, such a disturbing story. Thank you very much. Closer to home the wig story remains the weather, the impact of tuesdays weather across the northeast. Today dylan dreyer has made her way to nantucket. First al has his eyes on two new systems is that could bring more snow. Its a onetwo punch. Nobody wants to hear. I hate to be the one to tell you about it. Already, look at this, we got winter storm warnings up already from maine, freezing rain added advisories all the way back into the ohio river valley. This weak area of lp lp comes out. Are already seeing frozen precip by thursday afternoon. It makes its way into the east. So by early tomorrow morning, we got snow here in the northeast. We are looking at maybe one to two, possibly three inches of snow. It means heavy snow for maine right now. We are talking 9 to 12 inches for maine. If that second low strengthens, we could see some of the heavier snow slip down towards new york city. We are watching that. Now, heres the other storm we are watching. Sunday morning, this storm developed in texas. Its going to be the one that brings rain into the southwest. The track of the storm still uncertain. You look at the main models, the european model. The track is further to the south. Its mostly dry in the northeast. More of a midatlantic, southeastern atlantic coast. The american model, which did better in this last storm, had the trap further to the north. That means the heavier snow in the midatlantic into the east. An icy mix. We have to watch. We have a few days out. We will be watching these models closely. First, i forgot. I have to go talk to dylan dreyer. I like being with you guys. I have to see dylan dreyer. She was on the first ferry in nantucket after they got cut off from this big storm. Reporter al the last thing Everyone Wants to hear about right now is more bad weather, considering we are just finishing up digging out from the first storm. So here in nantucket, the quintessential new england town completely cut off and in the dark during the storm is finally getting back up and running. Power is restored, schools are open today. The ferries are running. This whole community is ready to move on. A summertime get away, nantucket is encased in snow and ice. It started out a plain old winter storm. Then it has become an ice storm, then a hurricane, then a flood. Reporter the first ferries are back up and running but much of the space has been reserved for power crew ss. Those as far away as canada. Things are ripping off your house, what is that sounding like as the storm is happening . It sounds like a train is coming through your living room. Reporter they say people in nantucket stick together during a storm. Its such a Big Community when storms happen that people tend to almost embrace them. You definitely feel like a Community Thing that you can just go to a neighbors house reporter look at this. A photo of what some faced on tuesday, walls of waves crashing ashore. Thats the sound of the ocean being chipped away in marshfield, nearly everything was doused, the water freezing in place. The upstairs i think is okay, but the downstairs clear through. Reporter high tide smashed through this home sending debris into his face. If i got knocked out, i probably would be kill. Reporter he survived but his home is an icy ruin. The scope of the storm brought into focus by a satellite photo showing a blanket of snow across the northeast. In portland, maine, people on sidewalks are shielded by snow banks. Its taking a toll on snow blowers. Business is booming at this repair shop. Belts are going, people are pushing the machines a little too hard. Reporter there is plenty to do. And with snow in the forecast, perhaps more to come. Everyone is trying to do their part. There is one shoveler who is getting a lot of attention. This boston man was anonymously shoveling and clearing away the snow from the finish line at the Boston Marathon. Obviously, an important symbol in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. And guess what . We found him. We will talk to him in a bit. I saw that picture online, i started to choke up. There is something so wonderful and kind about that gesture. Dylan, thank you very much. The fbi is intensifying its search for the person or persons behind a series of threatening tweets aimed at commercial planes in the u. S. Made in the name of isis, that mentioned spes specific flights. Reporter hi, matt, good morning. What makes it so concerning, its happened so many times in the past two weeks, more than 20 sometimes times since saturday. Often they are coming while the plane is still in the air. The radio traffic between the tower and pilots, anything but usual. This is fbi just doing a check. Hows conditions on board . Flight deck secured . Over. The flight deck is secure. Passengers are pretty well behaved, starting to get a little bit antsy. Reporter its happened nearly two times, bomb threats posted on twitter by someone claiming to represent isis. On january 17th, delta flight 1803 atlanta to raleigh. There were dogs sniffing us on and off the plane. Yeah, it was a little crazy. Reporter on sunday jetblue 1006 long beach to seattle, and phoenix to seattle and delta 1061 los angeles to orlando diverted to dallas after someone tweeted we are isis, we are here. Onboard sarah saw the tweet while in the air. So to see that and say we are isis, we are here, were on the plane, i mean, that was absolutely terrifying. Because you dont know what you are looking for. You dont know if someone looks suspicious or not. Reporter once on the ground the plane and passengers isolated and searched. Everyones going to have to be cleared. The entire aircraft is going to have to be cleared due to the possible credibility of a threat. Reporter Law Enforcement say its the work of pranksters and copycat, not terrorists. Penalty if caught, up to five years in prison and a 250,000 fine. The fbi is an leading the twitter feeds looking for the foot prints that could lead them to a suspect. Every time its creating a little profile. That gives authorities more information so they can make better decisions. Reporter for passengers, of course, its a huge inconvenience, missed connections, missed appointments, but for the airlines, we are talking tens of thousands of dollars per flight. This is very expensive. So as you might expect, the fbi is being very aggressive on this. Back to you. Tom costello at reagan national. Meantime, there is new concern on that measles traced to disney parks in california. The number of confirmed cases is now approaching 100. Hundreds more are warned to watch for signs of the virus. Halle jackson has the story in mesa, arizona, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah, Arizona HealthOfficials Say a thousand people may have been exposed in this state from the seven patients that had the virus here, including one woman that visited this childrens clinic where signs warn about the symptoms of measles. Because the virus is so contagious, it can survive a couple hours in the air or on surfaces. That one case may have put exponentially more people at risk. This morning, some 200 people who may have been exposed to measles are monitoring children and themselves, after people are visiting Health Care Centers in california and in arizona where they live. I have been informed it was an adult woman unvaccinated who exposed my child at a facility thats for high risk children. Its sad because this was preventible. Reporter its not just unvaccinated adults who could be spreading the highly contagious virus. A california man told Health Officials he thinks he was immunized when he was younger, but he became infected with the virus anyway. A single measles shot can be 95 effective. Two can boost it to 99 . The Measles Outbreak is a concern for everyone, adults and children, because its galloping from state to state. If are you not vaccinated or not sure if you had the infection, play it safe and get the vaccination. Reporter even if you were immunized as a child, you may want to consider a booster. As we get older, our immune systems arent as strong, that makes everybody a little more vulnerable. Reporter its why adam winetraub visited his doctor for a shot. I am 37 years old, and the last time i had a measles shot i was 13. When the doctor recommended it, i said, yeah, this is a good idea. I should do it. Reporter he lives in southern california, where half of measles cases, 61 , affect adults and every reported measles cases in nearby Orange County is over the age of 18. Experts are bracing for more measles cases, but some states hope to stop them in their tracks. One high school, for example, sent home more than 60 students who havent been immunized for up to a week. One dad wants his sons school to ban any kids who dont have the vaccine. Matt, savannah.
