Torrential rain throughout the Northeast led to dangerous flash floods on July 6, but the threat isn't over yet.
Transcript
00:00We've got some big storms popping in west-central Pennsylvania. This is kind of a nasty setup as well.
00:05Let's turn some storm reports on. We've had some flooding here, and you can see some of the recent flood
00:11reports up into Kane, Pennsylvania.
00:13Two reports of flooded basements, Marionville, PA, Galtonville Road and Salmon Creek Road flooded.
00:20Seneca, PA, there in Benango County, flooded basement. It's been really, really wet.
00:23We have seen some tremendous flood reports, though, into parts of the area around Kelly's Island, Ohio.
00:31I don't see any plotted here. We may just be beyond the 12-hour window of that.
00:35I'm going to show you some reports from Kelly's Island, just incredible rainfall in a moment.
00:39Elsewhere, though, we have some downpours that are a problem here into other parts of North Carolina and Virginia.
00:45Some of these storms have been severe here as well with damaging wind.
00:49So as we take a look at some of these reports, this was a localized but extraordinarily intense event.
00:569 to 15.86 inches of rain in the past 24 hours.
01:00Most of this fell last night with just a stationary, exceptional downpour here on this island that is inhabited 12
01:07months of the year just north of the Marblehead Peninsula.
01:11So kind of northeast of Port Clinton, east of Toledo, northwest of Cleveland or west of Cleveland.
01:16Incredible rainfall there.
01:18And that's that maroon there on the map.
01:21Beyond that, you can see that we've had other areas in the northeast outside of Kelly's Island.
01:27Milford, PA, 7.09 inches.
01:29Near there, Walker Lake, just a mile or two away, 6.23 inches.
01:33Otisville, New York, 6.92.
01:35Barryville, 6.82 inches.
01:36Montgomery, New York, 6.49 inches of rain.
01:39Way too much rain.
01:40And we have some severe weather, as I mentioned, there in northwest Pennsylvania right now, West Virginia, Virginia, into parts
01:46of the Carolinas, eastern Kentucky.
01:48Damaging wind and flooding are the concerns.
01:50And tomorrow, we still have some rain continuing through tonight into tomorrow.
01:55This map is really something that we've been carrying Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
01:58And at this point, we're just phrasing the subtitle there, through Tuesday, because the rain still continues.
02:04And Tuesday is very wet in New England still.
02:06In fact, it may waver a little farther north back into Boston during the day tomorrow.
02:11Severe thunderstorms Tuesday into Virginia.
02:14North Carolina, parts of South Carolina.
02:15And damaging wind and flash flooding will be the issues there.
02:18It's a summer risk, one out of four, on the four-tiered AccuWeather Severe Threat Index.
02:22But there's that rain in New England tomorrow.
02:24Kind of a nasty time.
02:24If you have a tight connecting flight in and out of Logan Airport, just beware.
02:28There could be delays.
02:29Take that into consideration.
02:31And we're going to have more thunderstorms.
02:33Overall, the three-day window, Sunday plus Monday plus Tuesday.
02:37Some areas with four to eight inches of rain.
02:39Eastern Poconos, Sussex County, New Jersey, Long Island, southern Connecticut, southern parts of,
02:43out near Buzzards Bay in southern Massachusetts.
