Soaking rain continues across the Northeast

Days of storms on the East Coast will continue this Thursday, with severe weather and flash flooding possible.

00:00For some areas, Anna, heading out the door tomorrow morning, there's going to be some

00:03flooding rainfall possible to contend with. Certainly something you want to give yourself

00:07some extra time for the morning commute, I would say. A good rule of thumb for the northeast as

00:12well. We'll talk about exactly why in a minute, but I'm going to catch you up on what's happening

00:15right now because we do have a flash flood warning still. It has been moved east a little

00:21bit here. We're right at about the tri-state area between Ohio, Kentucky, and here's West

00:29Virginia where we do have our flash flood warning ongoing here. Now, one thing to note as I click on

00:35the flash flood warning, we do have reports that are kind of behind why this was issued. I know this

00:41is a lot of words going on, but basically it's saying flash flooding is already ongoing or expected

00:46emergency management already reporting some flooding of roadways, and we do actually have the storm

00:51reports to go along with it. I mentioned earlier with that first flash flood warning, sometimes it

00:56takes a little bit for those storm reports to show up, and now here they are. We have two basically saying

01:00the same thing. It's flooding of roadways in this area, so certainly something we'll start to see maybe a

01:05little bit more as time goes on here, and we add on to our rainfall totals. We did have a couple of severe

01:11thunderstorm warnings in Virginia earlier, and we do have a couple different reports of trees down in this

01:17area here, a couple different roadways with that issue. Now, as we take a look at radar overall, one thing to

01:24notice, we do have some thunderstorms, but for most of us, it's really just rainfall and not even that

01:31heavy. There's some areas where we have the yellows popping up, maybe a little bit of orange indicating

01:36that heavier rainfall, but overall, this is beneficial at this point. Here's where I was talking about

01:41tomorrow morning, giving yourself some extra time. As we put future radar into motion, we stop at 7 a.m.

01:47Here's why, especially if you live in the state of Pennsylvania, widespread heavy rainfall across really

01:53most of the state. Scranton, maybe you're in the clear at 7 a.m. specifically, but the point is we're

01:59likely to see some slowdowns. You know how some rain and thunderstorms can really cause a headache

02:03during the morning commute, and I'd say tomorrow's probably no exception. The concern for severe weather

02:09though, it's going to be focused from New York down south towards the southeast. We're talking about

02:15damaging wind gusts, flooding downpours as the most likely concerns here. Further to the north, maybe some

02:21locally damaging wind gusts, but overall, it's just some heavy rainfall.
