>>> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE RAIN WE HAVE. WHAT A NIGHT AHEAD. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT SAY IT IS RAINING LIKE CRAZY. SO WHAT? REMEMBER THIS. THE CENTER OF THE STORM, OF WHAT WAS IDA, IS STILL IN PENNSYLVANIA. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF HOURS TO GO. OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, THAT IS NOT A GREAT-LOOKING SHOT. WE HAVE SOME HEAVY RAIN THAT HAS EXPANDED. IT IS 68 DEGREES. THE TORNADO WARNING HAS ALSO BEEN EXPANDED. IT IS INTO MORRIS COUNTY AND FOCUSING ON WARREN COUNTY. WHERE YOU SEE THE BRIGHT BLUE COLOR, THAT SHOULD DRAW YOUR ATTENTION. THAT IS HAIL AND INDICATIVE OF

STRONG UPDRAFT THAT OFTEN PRECEDES A TORNADO. THIS LINE IS BEING PUSHED OFF TO THE NORTH, NORTHEAST. ALL THE TOWNS LISTED, YOU ARE CATCHING HEAVY RAIN. ON THE TIMES I HAVE LISTED, THIS IS WHEN YOU COULD POSSIBLY SEE SOME TWIST. RIGHT NOW IT IS ABOVE THE SURFACE BY 3000 FEET. IF IT DROPS DOWN, WE GOT A BIG PROBLEM. THEN I TAKE YOU DOWN SOUTH INTO MARYLAND AND WE KEEP GETTING MORE REPORTS OF TORNADOES. MARYLAND HAS HAD REPORTS OF FIVE TORNADOES. IT HAS BEEN ACTIVE. THAT SAME PORTION OF THE STORM IS MOVING INTO OUR AREA. WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE THE TORNADO WARNING IN PORTIONS OF

OUR AREA. A GOOD CHUNK OF NEW JERSEY IS UNDER THE TORNADO WATCH. THE RAIN IS A BIG STORY. DUTCHESS COUNTY HAS PICKED UP 1.7 INCHES OF RAIN. IF YOU JUST GO OVER THE BORDER, JUST OUTSIDE OF PIKE COUNTY, I SAW A REPORT OF CLOSE TO FOUR INCHES OF RAIN. 4.9. IN WAYNE COUNTY. RIGHT ON THE BORDER. THAT STORM IS NOT MOVING DUE NORTH, IT IS MOVING EAST NORTHEAST. IS THIS REALLY A REMNANT STORM? YOU BET. THE REMNANTS OF IDA. IT HAS WIND, FLOODING, HUGE CONCERNS. A TORNADO THREAT IS OUT THERE. IT IS MUCH BETTER BY THE TIME WE GET TO TOMORROW MORNING.

IN TERMS OF THE WIND AND FLOODING, I WANT TO GET TO MY COLLEAGUE JOHN WHO IS IN NEW JERSEY. NEW JERSEY IS GETTING POUNDED WITH HEAVY RAIN. TAKE US THROUGH THE TIMING OF THIS WHOLE STORM.>> Reporter: THE CONCERN IS THE WIND. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT TORNADOES MAKE HEADLINES, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT GUSTY WIND. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE STREET FLOODING CONTINUES. IT IS POURING. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING. YOU CAN SEE THE GRAPHIC. IT HAS ERUPTED. THAT MEANS FLASH FLOODING IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THAT MEANS THE RAPID RISE OF

WATER. THAT MEANS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW DEEP IT IS, DON'T DRIVE THROUGH IT. SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT LONNIE HAS SHOWN YOU, THE RAIN THAT IS AT THE GROUND, WE ADD RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR. YOU WILL SEE MAJOR PROBLEMS. A BIT OF GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO SHOW YOU, THE WORST OF THE RAIN WILL BE WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS THE NORTH AMERICAN MODEL FOR WIND GUSTS. BY CONCERNED, LOOK AT SOME OF THE PEAK GAS. 30, 40, 50 MILES PER HOUR. PEAK WIND WILL BE OVERNIGHT. BE MINDFUL OF THE RAIN AND WIND.

>> I WANT TO GET TO HOW I SEE THINGS PROGRESSING. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO TOMORROW, IT WILL BE A BETTER DAY. 73 DEGREES. YOU WILL HAVE A FINE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, THERE IS A RAIN CHANCE. BUT OVERALL, IT IS MUCH BETTER WEATHER AS EARLY AS TOMORROW. PROBABLY MIDMORNING.
