hour and it is in lower bucks county to trenton and these are areas where we have seen heavy rain continuing the move over areas where we have already seen heavy rain and sparked a flash flood warning shown by the maroon color. in multiple counties, up into philadelphia, trenton until about 2:00 empty morning and wall that said, we have street and creek flooding right now because of the heavy rain and never drive through flooded roadways. turn around. it's way too dangerous especially when it's dark out. flash flood warning for the lehigh valley. upper bucks county until 2:00 a.m. same situation and street and creek flooding. we have very heavy rain and thunderstorms and these storms will continue moving along the shore kind of following each other so we could start see a threat of localized flooding there, as well. delaware, these will be moving

up into south jersey and moving quickly so cape may, you can expect them by 11:30. ocean city shortly after midnight. more storms down to around maryland and parts of virginia. those will start to move up into part of the area late tonight even after this 11:00 show is over so the tornado threat has been extended for south jersey. so we are looking at a tornado watch extended to 1:00 in the morning for all of new jersey and means any isolated tornadoes are still possible with any strong thunderstorms so we'll be here watching this for you. coming up, a timing of what you can expect for the rest of the overnight hours and into the morning commute and weekend forecast straight ahead. >> all right. see you then. meantime, live to denise nakano. >> checking out the damage in lancaster county. denise? >> reporter: yes. i am live just outside chester county in lancaster county and see the destruction around me. this barn collapsed into the house at the height of the storm

two. with the damage assessed at this hour, there were no reports of any injuries. reporting live in lancaster county, denise nakano, nbc 10 news. and a gust of heavy wind sent this old tree tap ling down on to a car. before 8:00 tonight. the driver was not hurt. now, let's go to randy gyllenhaal live at a home just hit by a falling tree in montgomery county. when's the damage like there? >> reporter: well, this house had one tree fall on the roof and crews tell me another tree on the property is structurally not sufficient, as well. you can see the branches on the roof. nobody was hurt but the winds and the heavy rain really picked up here about 9:30 and just let up about 20 minutes ago. in parts of the township, power

was out and many roads flooded and blocked to traffic. trees knocked down. at this home, a tree on the roof. nobody inside was injured but rescue crews tell nbc 10 they have had a very busy night and expect it to get worse. even before the main squall line hit gusts blowing in northeast philly, a sign of things to come as people were out shopping. >> i don't know. just came out of nowhere. a tornado seemed like. >> reporter: the heavy winds toppling over this large sign at a burger king at lawn crest. and i can tell you we have been driving around abbington township and the area and the concern going forward is flash flooding. roads closed. where we are parked, there's a lot of water flowing through the streets and a divot in the road. it's dangerous and of course you will see a lot of road closures. officials telling me they're seeing most of them along rivers

at very heavy rain falling across the area. we have, however, that severe thunderstorm warning i told you about a little bit ago. mercer to tenton. until 11:45 tonight. the precip rates in the heavy rain close to 4 1/2 inches an hour and starting the really move out of mercer county, at least the brunt of it. either way, could be seeing damaging winds near 60 miles per hour, lightning, heavy rain again and the potential for hail. this storm is moving to the northeast around 100 miles per hour. that is extremely fast for an isolated storm. we typically don't see it that fast and dealing with a very unstable weather pattern today. flash flood warning continues for areas in delaware, extending up through philadelphia along the major interstates to the trenton areas. we are looking at flooding in these areas, roadway flooding, street and creek flooding occurring in many locations

already because of the heavy rain. you never want to drive through flooded waters. always turn around. same thing up through parts of the lehigh valley. upper bucks county. flash flood warning until 2:00 in the morning. also more storms right along the shore. in atlantic city, seeing the storms, lots of lightning. cape may with rain that way and look at suffolk county. a lot of rain. millford up towards dover. we still have a lot of activity here and this is going to last for the next few hours so with this cluster of showers and storms in delaware, moving into new jersey and mostly to the northeast here. cape may expecting it close to 11:30, gloucester close to 11:40. so we still have a very active weather situation for dell we are and south jersey at the moment and really new jersey we are going to pay attention to overnight tonight because the tornado threat has been extended until 1:00 a.m. and still the

chance for an isolated tornado with any strong storms for new jersey and going to watch it very closely as we go over the next few hours. storm reports from today because we did have a lot of storm reports, downed trees and power lines and mostly wind damage, a lot of this occurred west of philadelphia, through the philadelphia area, into new jersey and one in particular, mount laurel for example, trees an wires down and caused power outages and we are looking at power outages with the high winds we had today and we still are looking at high winds. now, as far as the rainfall is concerned, philadelphia two inches. allentown, 2 3/4 inches. mostly half an inch to an inch and those areas of the rain first about an inch and a half, a little over that in pottstown and dealing with lot of rainfall in the area. new jersey and delaware dealing with in a next couple of hours. this is future weather, midnight, still expecting the

storms in parts of new jersey. possibly delaware but then we get closer to 1:00 a.m., it clears out and the weather pattern starts to change much better as we go into tomorrow. now early tomorrow morning for the morning commute. there's a chance to see a couple isolated lighter showers but the severe threat will be over for the morning commute so at least it won't be the type of weather we saw tonight. winds are still gusting right around 30 miles per hour. take a look at atlantic city. winds gusting near 50 miles per hour. very strong south winds. we have a very tropical area mass over us. look at the temperatures, too. these are all ingredients that have been giving us the strong storms in the night tonight and we do expect them to continue for new jersey. look at the temperatures. 62 degrees right now in atlantic city. close to 60 in millville. philadelphia still sitting at 63 degrees, even northeast philly and we are going to stay on the warmer side with that strong south wind until we finally see a change in wind direction but that wouldn't be until tomorrow.

for tonight, though, the storm strongs continue mostly in new jersey with the tornado watch extended until 1:00 in the morning. this will be ending overnight tonight so mostly after 1:00 a.m. 52 for the low in philadelphia. and wes by tomorrow morning and the afternoon a very different day. temperaturings of mid to low 50s, drier and windy. gusts near 40 miles per hour. still a chance of showers around and conditions really improving going into your weekend. saturday, 43. sunny, kind of cold and with the morning lows in the 20s and by sunday, look at this, near 60 degrees, nice and sunny. >> you have to keep an eye on the weather, wake up tomorrow, tune in starting at 4:00 a.m. for the traffic trouble. tonight's storm left behind. plus how weather conditions look for your morning commute that's tomorrow on nbc 10 today.
