The Memorial Day weekend is off to a rough start on Saturday, with severe weather across the eastern half of the U.S. bringing heavy rains and dangerous conditions. NBC News’ Priscilla Thompson reports.
Trending talks about what is currently going on in the world of Current News.
Breaking news is a news event that elicits nationwide coverage and requires a number of broadcasters to interrupt their non-news programming (or, in the case of national network newscasts, their current breaking news). The event may prompt the station to run a countdown sequence over the air, urging viewers to stand by as the program will be interrupted. Alternatively, the network may insert a “Newsflash” or “Special report” graphic, usually with a distinctive music cue, into their regular newscasts or lower thirds to indicate that the story is breaking.
