walk us through this, pedram. and a tornado in new jersey, you know, now just incredible. >> when you have tropical systems, yeah. when you have tropical systems as i mentioned the rotation within these storms spawns tornados, often about 70% of tropical induced tornados are about ef0, ef1. when you put that into new jersey and you see the damage left behind. >> there it is up on your screen, by the way. >> the threat tornado watch has been expanded until 6:00 a.m. that includes new york city, portions of of connecticut and also new jersey. plenty of storms into the overnight hours. what's really dangerous about these storms, nocturnal tornados they're about twice as likely to be fatal for obvious reasons, because people may be sleeping and they're not able to get to parts of their house quickly enough. >> there's a new tornado watch issued in the northeast that includes new york sity. third tornado watch has been issued by the northeast by the storm prediction center. the watch includes portions of of northern ne

. >>> pedram javaheri is joining us now for the latest on the conditions. is what we're seeing now in new york, new jersey, heading up basically to boston? >> it is, yes. the next couple of hours. we see the last of the remnants of ida. and it was about a week ago we began tracking this storm system as it developed near the grand caymans. and then you notice the last breath of it here producing significant rainfall and we know of course that it will reshape the landscape of the gulf coast around parts of louisiana and certainly rewrite the record books around portions of the northeast here. as far as the rains left in place, portions of connecticut into rhode island and eventually massachusetts, that is where we have the brunt of what is left. there is a tornado watch until 6:00 a.m. across portions of this region. all of this in line here to see strong thunderstorms and maybe rotation enough to produce a tornado. notice rainfall amounts 6, 7, 8 inches, these are remarkable numbers no matter where you put them. usually related to tropical landfalls around t

pedram, thank you. christine. >> yeah, you know, from 7:00 to midnight last night, just epic the conditions here. i spoke to a police officer about 45 minutes ago and they are just going around pulling the cars out of the streets, cars that have been smashed by water. nothing more than water smashing some of these cars up because these streets behind me here in clifton and over the border in montclair were literally rivers. cars have floated into the street here. and in passaic county where i am, there was a fatality, a man in his 70s, a passenger in a car. firefighters were trying to rescue him, firefighters were washed under the car, were unable to save him. just a desperate attempt to save that life and were unable to it so in again these raging floodwaters that turned streets in to rivers. the mayor of the city of passaic had this dire warning -- >> all restaurants, all businesses need to shut down, there should be nobody going out to go to restaurants or businesses or trying to travel in this weath

cnn meteorologist pedram javaheri is tracking the system. pedram. >> it is across the eastern united states, tapping into some tropical moisture. a frontal boundary coming in slowly that will develop this region into being a very wet set up of rainfall here going in through much of wednesday from detroit south into fort wayne, indiana, east to portions of virginia. certainly parts of southern pennsylvania, slight to moderate risk of excessive rainfall. today is the 22nd, which means the seasons are changing. in the northern hemisphere, it is the first day of autumn. certainly going to feel like autumn here once the front arrives. we have 12 hours of daylight, 12 hours of nighttime across the globe today as the eternal equinox kicks in at 3:20 eastern this afternoon. flooding in portions of the philly metro. the great lakes seeing flooding alerts. you can see how much rain is forecast here. lights up like a i didn't say mass tree. we're talking 4, maybe 6 inches in the next 24 to 36 hours. the front does come in with a lot of dryer and cooler

so let's turn to pedram javaheri, he is tracking the storm for us. so pedram, tell us what you are seeing now. >> still a category 1 hurricane. i do expect to weaken over the next several hours, but we have see it meander right along the coast and interact with land and as well as keep part of the storm still over open waters. so there is quite a bit of tropical moisture. houston getting lightning strikes and certainly quite a bit of rainfall. nearly 5,000 strikes in the past two hours. so you would imagine it is a loud night across coastal regions of texas and approaching areas of houston over the next several hours. but hurricane warnings in place towards freeport, and tropical storm warnings from port arthur on into houston for this current hour. but rainfall amounts, you can see the previous 24 hours, much of the heavy rain remained just offshore. we'll now gradually begin to see that heavy rain encroach on to some of the major metro areas and houston will be one of the first to see first rounds of heavy rains to see the outer bands of the storm

meteorologist pedram javaheri has the latest. pedram. >> good morning, isa.al day of september on us here and still feeling like summer across portions of the midwest here as warmth still in place, but along portions of the gulf coast we expect rounds of heavy rainfall. it has been a a soggy go the last couple days here. coastal louisiana points back to the west, into areas of texas, tremendous amounts of rainfall. 2 to 4 inches have already come down. we know it has been, of course, soggy for the tropical season there in recent months. but up towards the north, this is where temps are running about 5 to 10 degrees above average. indianapolis climbing up to 82 degrees. the lower 70s, what you would expect this time of year. chicago same story. lower 80s where the lower 70s where you expect to be until the last day of september. not too bad in portions of west virginia as well. 76 degrees. that warmth is expected to migrate a little farther towards the east. as it does, our friends around the northeast in the month of october on a splendid note, an incredible

>> thanks very much, pedram. activist greta thunberg laid into world leaders as she calls empty promises on climate change -- climate action. they met with policy makers to hammer out possible solutions ahead of the cop-26 climate talks in glass gou. some remain skeptical saying time is running out to avoid catastrophe. this is what she said. >> there is no plan b. there is no plan blah. blah, blah, blah. this is not about some politically expensive correct dream of bunny hugging or blah, blah, blah. build back better, blah, blah, blah. green economy, blah, blah, blah.

pedram, i know that we had expected bad weather.you predicted it after ida hit the -- the south and came up to the northeast. but this is something that is just beyond. >> it's remarkable. you know, and no one's going to forecast historic rainfall. we knew it's going to be as wet as it's possibly able to get. that's what the storm prediction center gave it a high probability for excessive rainfall. and forecast said 3, 4, 5 inches. but unfortunately, in some of these areas, and some of the more populated areas from newark all the way into new york city, we saw these amounts 4, 5, 6 inches in a matter of just a couple of hours. look at this. 8 -- 8 inches coming down. the wettest-single day in newark in recorded history on september 1st, today. so it really shows how things have played out here. and new york city picking up 3 inches of rainfall in one hour. national weather service in new york city issuing its first flash-flood emergency in its history. again, when you have flash-flood emergencies, it's not just flooding is occurring

pedram. >> good morning, isa. we have three systems across the atlantic that have potential to become named tropical systems. hurricane sam sitting in place 145 mile per hour sustained winds. this is a major hurricane, very organized. very compact. the hurricane force winds only extend 30 miles from the center. tropical force winds extend 90 miles from the center. the good news of the category 4 hurricane in the atlantic. at this point ft. meadian term, forecast keeps it away from any land. could be as early as friday into saturday where all eyes are going to be on bermuda. quite a ways out. could see vast changes with the forecast and guidance over the next several days. if you're tuned in or have interest across bermuda, it's something to keep an eye on over the next several days. temperatures compared to sunday climbing up 5 to 10 degrees. indianapolis up in the 80s. in pittsburgh from the 70s we shoot up to the 80s. the northeastern u.s., western u.s., these areas are cooling off rather sharply and get a hint

pedram javaheri has the latest details. so where exactly is it heading and how bad will it be? >> kim, the storm is pushing right through southern georgia at this hour. it made landfall late last night and it is really a storm system that will move out very quickly and that is excellent news. tropical storm-force winds right now at around 40 miles per hour, very small system and of course it will quickly move offshore within the next couple hours. but already seeing tremendous rainfall across southern georgia, parts of the florida panhandle. generally 3 to 4 inches and some pockets pushing up close to 5 inches just south of tall tallahassee. but you will notice flood watches are prompted, flooding widespread along portions of the south, so any additional rainfall leads to flooding and that is the concern. but the good news is this storm system unlike the previous one in ida is as quick moving as they come, it will be out of here and other open waters within a couple hours. and then do expect it to weaken quickly over the next several days. that is what is left of the system. it

meteorologist pedram javaheri is with us again for the very latest on the storm. where we're looking here we're seeing the rain easing up in parts but obviously it's now moving further away up to rhode island and massachusetts, right? >> that's right. around new york city, around portion that's have already been very hard hit across new jersey as well conditions beginning to grangly improve. the rain showers tapering off over the last couple of hours. but the energy, essentially the last area across the entire country here going to see what is left of ida, is going to be right across parts of rhode island, connecticut into massachusetts, boston one of the largest cities in line here to see another line of heavy rainfall before it's all said and done. this polygon here that is the tornado watch that is still in effect through 6:00 in the morning local time. this storm has produced at least five tornadoes in the past few hours as we often see moving over a region. the rotation in the atmosphere enough spin in the atmosphere to produce tornadoes. not too often to see

pedram javaheri has the latest forecast. >> yes, watching what is left of tropical depression nicholaseople often get caught up in the satellite depiction and wind speeds and kcategories but it really doesn't change the rainfall. it is still tapping into quite a bit of tropical moisture and you will notice in the past 24 hours, upwards of almost 14 inches of rainfall fell in galveston, houston about 6.5 inches. the concern is that it will be in an area that was very hard hit by hurricane ida. so notice radar still producing strong thunderstorms around southern portions of louisiana, at least 7 million americans nearly the entirety of the coast of louisiana under flood alerts as a result of the system moving off toward the east and frankly it is moving very slowly, 3 to 5 miles per hour over the next 36 hours. so as the system moves very closely, it will rain itself out across the region and it is really the last place you want to see heavy rainfall as people of course still in full recovery mode across this region. 4 to 6 inches widespread, some areas could get close to 10 inches of ra

pedram javaheri is live for us this morning.his is now weakening to a tropical storm, still sounds like a ton of rain for an area that has already seen a lot of rain. >> that is going to be the problem. when you look at these urban environments, 7 million people across the metroplex, whether a category 1 or category 5, the concern is the incredible amount of rainfall associated with it because the category really doesn't dictate how much rainfall comes down. just based on the track and how it has meandered along the coast of texas for so many hours here, we are still pumping in quite a bit of tropical moisture. so sustained winds about 70 miles per hour gusting close to 80 miles per hour, but you will notice widespread coverage of tropical storm warnings in place including areas around houston. and with the system again kind of hugging the coastline, we've seen 7 to 10 inches of rainfall, radar estimated just offshore. the concern is that it will gradually shift inland and we know at least 12 million people across this region un

let's bring in pedram. good to see you. this is absolutely the last thing the country needs.t are you seeing in the forecast? >> it is in a very warm area, and the water is conducive to further growth of the storm system. quite a bit of conventction. landfall, just about 12 to 15 hours away. certainly not far from seeing the direct impacts of the storm system, and the weather service taking it seriously. western louisiana through coastal areas of texas, brownsville, flood watches prompted in the region because the system will hug the coast and make landfall south of houston later on monday afternoon and monday evening with 60 to 65 miles per hour at landfall. should be just shy of category 1 hurricane, which is 73 miles per hour. that is not going to be the concern with the storm system. it is the amount of rainfall. the forecast models waivered back and forth with how much rain will come down but at least seven to eight inches, some could push ten plus inches and see pockets of heavy rainfall around the houston metro. these urban environments, that leads to a significant ris

pedram, certainly the storm is not going to be catching anyone unaware after you have given us a sensegerous do you think that it is? >> you know, it has everything it takes to strengthen and the latest observation from the aircraft shows that the storm is strengthening at this hour as it approaches the coast of texas. it makes landfall in about 15 hours. that is the best news because it does not give it enough time to strengthen beyond where it currently sits which is a strong tropical storm just shy of a hurricane, 74 miles per hour. very warm water, conducive to further develop the system. hurricane watches, parts of houston under tropical storm watches and we expect the system to make landfall sometime monday afternoon or monday night and widespread flood watches stretching from western louisiana to southern texas. heavy rainfall is expected. water temperatures climbing to the middle 80s. if it had enough time it would easily get to hurricane strength. so the least amount of concern i think will be associated with the winds. the storm surge threat three to five feet. points just to

pedram javaheri has more. >> good morning. the latest on this earth quick, a 7.0 magnitude occurring just ab about 20 kilometers northeast of mexico city. and you will notice strong to very strong shaking felt by over a million people, as many as 15 million people across mexico felt shaking associated with the quake although the vast majority of it on the lesser end of it, about 300 kilometers away in mexico city where we had some shaking felt as well. usgs an horizons what quakes can produce given the magnitude and its location and they put economic loss estimates around $100 million to as much as $1 billion. again speaks to thmagnitude of this quake and its high proximity to high population areas. anytime that you bring any quake between a 7 to 8 magnitude that is considered a major earthquake and you bring that into a shallow zone of around 10 miles, that also leads to major, major destruction as well. so you will notice our planet produces about 15 quakes of such magnitude 7 or greater every single year, and of course we k

. >>> and pedram javaheri is joining us with the latest on all of this. what are you seeing? >> rosemary, we'll start off with what is happening across portions of louisiana. as we noted here, massive power outages still remain in place for upwards of a million customers. but peak summer-like weather across the region with heat indices or what it will feel like close to 100 degrees in some areas such as baton rouge already exceeding 100 degrees wednesday afternoon. and heat advisories from the national weather service including much of southern louisiana, portions of texas into oklahoma, climbing up to 110 degrees. again, incredible heat if it was the middle of july when it is peak season for excessive heat, but here in september we're seeing them take place across portions of the south. what is left of the storm system? there it is, you kind of still see some organization with this, it is a tropical depression as it rains itself out across parts of the ohio valley into the northeast. and tremendous amount of rainfall in store here across the northeast. upwards of 70 million

here is pedram javaheri. >> good morning.ida as it works across the ohio valley and eventually into the northeast and a tremendous amount of rainfall in store for you around parts of the northeast here upwards of 70 million americans dealing with the flood alerts and the storm system really goes out with a bang. you notice excessive rainfall risk here as high as it gets, a 4 out of 4, that includes again some of the major metro cities, philly and into new york city for rainfall that could be 2 to 3 inches, pockets of maybe 5 to 6 inches possible into southern portions of pennsylvania. and even some severe weather to be had on the back side of this as well. so here is the coverage of excessive rainfall. flooding almost imminent across some of these regions. and you take a look at this level 3 for severe weather even a 10% chance of a tornado possible across an area in and around parts of the delmarva, southern new jersey, about a 25 mile distance or so from areas around washington, d.c. where tornadoes are possible. so certain

more now from pedram javaheri. >> good morning.ere as it pushes its way across georgia and obviously eventual shore in the next couple hours. it had 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds as it made landfall as a tropical storm. rainfall amounts, 3 to 4 inches have been observed just south of tallahassee, even higher amounts across the region. several parts of florida could see another round of strong thunderstorms into the morning hours and potentially the afternoon as well. coastal georgia also getting in on heavy rainfall but the system eventually moves over cooler waters and out of here fortunately very quickly and it is guided out of here by the incoming front that will bring some of the coolest temperatures in months across parts of the south and birmingham and atlanta dropping off into the upper 50s in the coming days. but notice back towards the west, fire weather risk in place, critical risk across the interior portion, temperatures climbing up into the upper 90s with extremely dry and gusty winds in the forecast there. >>> the stat
