INCREDIBLE THING. HATS OFF TO THEM. I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. JOHN ELLIOTT, THIS MORNING, WITH US HERE IN STUDIO, AND HE MADE HIS WAY OUTSIDE, I'M LED TO BELIEVE, TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT IT IS LIKE ON MIDTOWN, ON THE WEST SIDE OF MANHATTAN, WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES AROUND THE AREA WITH FLOODING AND POTENTIAL TORNADO WARNINGS. JOHN? >> Reporter: I HAVE TO TELL YOU, IT'S FASCINATING TO BE ON THE STREET. TO THE EAST, THREATENING SKIES, AND CHRISTINA FAN, RIGHT OVER THERE, TORRENTIAL RAIN, BUT WEST 57th STREET, OBVIOUSLY

THE STREETS ARE WET, AND WE HAVE HAD SOME RAIN. THAT IS THE VARIETY OF THE WEATHER IN THE AREA. LIGHTS ON SO MOTORISTS CAN SEE THEM. PUTTING THE NEW ADVISORY INTO PERSPECTIVE TO WATCH YOU THROUGH THE CHALLENGING DAY. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WITH A TORNADO WATCH FOR THE AREAS YOU CAN SEE SHADED IN YELLOW. THAT MEANS THE CITY IS OUT OF THE AREA, AND, AGAIN, THAT'S ALWAYS A SMALL CONSOLATION. ATMOSPHERE IS CHARGED AND READY. THE WATCH, THE PARAMETERS OF THE WATCH ARE RIGHT THERE, IN EFFECT UNTIL 3:00 P.M. NEW ADVISORIES TO TELL YOU ABOUT WITH WARNINGS. A WATCH MEANING CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO, AND FLASH

FLOOD WARNING FOR SUSSEX AND WARREN AND HUNTERDON, MORRIS, AND THESE ARE IN EFFECT UNTIL 9:00 OR 9:30, AND REPORTS A LANDSLIDE IN WARREN COUNTY. THAT FLASH FLOOD WARNING NOW FOR PARTS OF FAIRFIELD AND NEW HAVEN AND PUTNAM AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AND THAT'S IN EFFECT UNTIL 11:00. THIS IS THE NEW FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR SUFFOLK. IN EFFECT UNTIL 11:30, AND REMEMBER, WHEN WE SAY WARNING, THAT MEANS FLASH FLOODING IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW, AND LET'S SUPERIMPOSE AND PUT THE RADAR TO WORK. THE BRIGHTER COLORS INDICATING THE HEAVY RAIN FOR WESTERN CONNECTICUT RIGHT NOW, AND YOU'RE SAYING IT'S NOT RAINING IN WESTCHESTER.

COUNTY. WHY ARE WE UNDER THE WARNING? THE WATER FALLING CAN LEAD TO THE STREAMS AND CREEKS RISING. LOOK RIGHT THERE. THAT'S NASTY. THE FOCUS OF SUFFOLK COUNTY, REALLY HEAVY RAIN, AND IN THE CITY, VARIETY. RIGHT THERE, YOU CAN SEE ON THE WEST SIDE A BREAK. TO THE SOUTH, JERSEY CITY. BAYONNE, HEAVY RAIN, AND MORE OF STATEN ISLAND, AND THEN YOU EXPAND THAT VIEW, AND THERE'S THE SECOND LINE WEST, AND FIND PHILLY, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS HEADED OUR WAY. ALSO IN OCEAN COUNTY, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DELAWARE AND MARYLAND, AND THAT IS GOING TO HUG THE JERSEY SHORE. AGAIN, NOT WALL-TO-WALL

WET, BUT COMPLICATED AND INTENSE SYSTEM. THE BIGGEST CONCERN, HEAVY RAIN, STRONG WINDS NEXT AROUND THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS, AND NOW, OBVIOUSLY, AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL MORNING, THE RISK OF SOME HAIL, BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE TORNADOES, 90 MILES AN HOUR FOR THE WIND. USE THE FUTURECAST AND COMPUTER GUIDANCE. THEY HAVE BEEN VERIFYING WELL, AND THEY ARE INDICATING MORE OF THE RAIN BY MIDDAY. BRIGHTER COLORS TO THE SOUTH NOW, AND THIS IS MIDDAY THROUGH PARTS OF CENTRAL JERSEY, AND THAT WILL PUSH THROUGH. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE ISSUES ALONG THE JERSEY SHORE, AND THEN INTO QUEENS,

NASSAU, AND YOU WILL SEE IT AS WELL, AND THEN SUFFOLK COUNTY INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES, AND YOU CAN WATCH THE BOTTOM OF THE TV SCREEN, CBS NEWS NEW YORK FOR UPDATES, AND WE SHOULD SEE THINGS CALM INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VANESSA WILL THEN TAKE OVER AND SHOW YOU WHAT IS HEADED OUR WAY. MONDAY RIGHT NOW, LOOKING RELATIVELY QUIET WITH THE RAIN. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE WORKWEEK. MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY FOR THAT. CREEKS, STREAMS, ALREADY SWOLLEN. ROCKLAND, ORANGE COUNTY, OVER 10 INCHES OF RAIN IN A WEEK. THAT'S WHY ANOTHER 1 TO 2 OR 3

TO 6 JUST HAS NO PLACE TO GO. THAT'S WHY WE ARE ANTICIPATING, WELL, WE ARE ALREADY SEEING THE FLOODING IN OUR AREA. THEN, WE ARE NOT DONE WITH IT YET. THE CONCERN IS GOIN
