GOOD MORNING. IT IS 5:43. WELCOME BACK TO CBS2 NEWS THIS MORNING. WE HAVE OUR FIRST ALERT WEATHER TEAM STANDING BY. LET'S START WITH TONY SADIKU AT LONG ISLAND. >> Reporter: WE HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO WITH SUNSHINE AND 60s, REMARKABLE WEATHER. IT IS JUST NOT TODAY. TODAY ESSENTIALLY A REPEAT OF YESTERDAY WITH HEAVY RAIN AND STRONGER WIND LEADING TO MORE IMPACT, SO BE READY FOR IT. HERE AT FREEPORT WE HAVE THE MOBILE WEATHER LAB AS THE WIND CONTINUES TO BELOW. 44 RIGHT NOW WITH 6 MILE AN HOUR WIND MAKING THE WINDCHILL IN THE 30s. IT FEELS BETTER THIS

MORNING THAT IT WILL FEEL MOST OF THE DAY BECAUSE THE WINDS WILL BE INTENSIFYING, KEEPING THE TEMPERATURES STUCK IN PLACE. WE HAVE A RED ALERT FORECAST FOR TODAY. WHAT THAT MEANS FOR TODAY IS A THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN. WE HAVE A THREAT OF GUSTING WIND JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. MORE PRONOUNCED ALONG THE COAST WITH THE FLOOD RISK, A COASTAL CONCERN AS WELL AS INLAND CONCERN AS WELL. CHRISTINE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT POTENTIAL ISSUES ALONG THE PASSAIC WITH 2 TO 3 INCHES TOMORROW MORNING WITH WIND GUSTING UP TO 60 MILES AN HOUR. WE HAVE THE THREAT OF TREES COMING DOWN WITH ISOLATED POWER

OUTAGES NOT OUT OF THE POSSIBILITY. RAIN INTENSIFYING OVER THE CITY. IN BERGEN COUNTY APPROACHING ROCKLAND. WE HAVE DECENT DOWNPOURS BUT IT WILL LIGHTEN UP BEHIND IT. HOUR-BY-HOUR FORECAST, RAIN CHANCES SOLID JUST ABOUT ALL DAY. ANY BREAKS WILL BE BRIEF. LIGHT RAIN TURNING HEAVY TO STEADY AT TIMES WITH TEMPERATURES STUCK IN THE 40s AND OF COURSE THE WIND MAKING IT FEEL EVEN COOLER. LET'S SEND IT OVER TO JOHN FOR MUCH MORE ON WHAT WE EXPECT TODAY, THE TOP THREATS AND JUST HOW LONG THE RAIN WILL STICK AROUND FOR A TOUGH DAY AHEAD. >> ALSO SNOW TOO WITH A VARIETY. WEATHER WATCHERS

COMMENTING ON THAT. NUMBERS MISLEADING PICK -- AND WE KNOW IT ALWAYS APPEARS COOLER WITH THE WINDCHILL. LOOK AT THIS. TONY HAS THE SNOW GEAR OUT AND READY TO GO. PARTS OF SULLIVAN AND ULSTER COUNTIES COULD SEE SOME SNOW. A REMINDER TO KEEP THE DRAINS CLEAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DRAIN UNDER DRIVEWAY. MAKE SURE TO THE DEGREE YOU'RE ABLE AND THE DRAINS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, TO KEEP THEM CLEAR. THAT WILL HELP WHEN WE SEE INDIVIDUAL CELLS GOING OVER WITH RAINFALL NUMBERS SPIKING IS WHEN WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH FLOODING. HERE IS A PICTURE WE HAVE WITH A LIVE VIEW COMING IN. NOT MUCH ELEVATION BUT LOOKING DOWN IN

THE CLOUD WITH VISIBILITY A CONCERN TOO. IF YOU CAN AND HAVE THE LUXURY TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE HER TRAVEL PLANS, IT WILL BE A CHALLENGING DAY TO GET AROUND. BUT FEELS COOLER WITH THE WIND OUT OF THE EAST. FOLLOWING UP WITH THE WEATHER WATCHER AND CONCERNS ABOUT SULLIVAN AND ULSTER IS WE HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WITH SNOW MIXING IN. PARTS OF THE HUDSON VALLEY COULD HAVE A COUPLE OF INCHES WE HAVE TO SHOVEL AND MANAGE IT. NOW FROM INCHES TO FEET. LET'S TALK ABOUT BE ON THE COASTAL FLOODING ALERT. I HAVE OUR METEOROLOGIST TONY REMINDING US TOO ABOUT 1 TO 3

FEET INUNDATION CONCERNED ABOUT ALONG THE COAST. HIGH TIDE CYCLE THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN 4:00 AND 8:00 BETWEEN SANDY HOOK AND GLEN COVE. TOMORROW MORNING HIGH CYCLE IS THE KEY TO WATCH AS WELL. SO AS THE HIGH TIDES MIGRATE ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE AND OVER THE SOUND, YOU HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT. THE WIND ADVISORY CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND WITH WIND GUSTING UP TO 60 MILES AN HOUR FOR PARTS OF LONG ISLAND. IT ALL FEEDS INTO A FLASH FLOOD RISK. NOT ONLY DEALING WITH COASTAL FLOODING BECAUSE OF THE WIND BUT WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS GOING OVER

RAINFALL RATES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH ENOUGH WITH URBAN FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING. WE WILL WATCH THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS WELL. LET'S WRAP IT UP WITH WHAT TONY STARTED WITH. WE HAVE GREAT WEATHER TO LOOK FORWARD TO IF YOU CAN JUST HANG ON. WE WILL NAVIGATE THROUGH THE RED ALERT DAY TODAY. UNSETTLED THURSDAY WITH FRIDAY THE PICK OF THE WEEK.
