robert speta has more. >> let's start off talking about what is going on here. especially for those of you who have travel plans across the eastern u.s. it is going to be a slow go at the very least. towards the south, we're seeing thunderstorms, a few tornado watches still in effect in florida through north carolina in total. four tornados have been reported here. two in louisiana on your monday. one into mississippi and another one over towards georgia. conditi conditions along the eastern sea board will be improving through tuesday and over towards wednesday. especially out here towards the northeast because boo washington, into new york, i know a lot of you plan on flying, there have been significant delays. in washington, d.c., total ground stop for a few hours here on monday. definitely a lot of travelers being held up because of this. now, as you can see here, this goes off toward the east. we have that snowfall across the great lakes and the problem is this is going to be very isolated bands, coming down. typical lake effect, some area -- and then lookin

meteorologist robert speta gives us the details in world weather. >> yes, katherine.are seeing right now, this is one of the strongest of 2014 as far as typhoons go, not quite as strong as vongfong. this is up there at the violent typhoon category, however, as far as its intensity, on the satellite imagery has the circulation wrapping around here. i do think this is starting on its weakening trend. we are past the peak intensity. this is going to be tracking off toward the north and then the northeast. staying away from the southern islands of japan here, even including just toward the west of it. still could be seeing even flooding and landslides for these outer islands. i do think people are making preparations and i wouldn't be surprised if there were some evacwass with this. now, one thing keeping our storm further off is this high pressure ridge in behind, which has been bringing some blustery conditions across much of hokkaido over the sea of japan. winds as high as 140 kilometers have been reported. we could see winds gusting up towards 120 kilometers per hour.

you might want to wait until the weekend to enjoy this beautiful foliage where our meteorologist robert speta found these beautiful, vibrant colors. i'm sure it will be staying until this weekend to enjoy. moving on to europe, we have a few low pressure systems affecting this continent. this one is really bringing severe flooding across morocco. at least 32 people have died from this flooding. the good news is it will be dissipating for our wednesday. but another system could provide rainfall for thursday for similar locations. ongoing situation with severe flooding across france yet again will be in this area. the snowfall will be across the scandinavian peninsula up to about 15 centimeters. and the high pressure system dominates much of the eastern regions, quite chilly. moscow at minus 2. here and around buffalo we have flood warning with the melting snow and above-average temperatures and the rain. the western areas will see more snow, about 15 centimeters, and this massive low pressure system is bringing windy conditions as well. and the cold front sagging all the way into the deep south

for details here is our meteorologist, robert speta. >> this is typhoon nuri. it is starting to weaken. but this is one of those storm systems you don't want to be near the center of circulation. and good news is no one is really near the center of circulation unless you are on a boat and lost ahead of it. it is out to sea and winds upwards of 250 kilometers per hour. you see the center of circulation right here. but see all the cloud cover pulling off to the northeast? our storm system is going to follow in right behind that, pulling to the northeast missing much of mainland japan. that is the good news. the bad news about 24,000 people live out here south of tokyo and you are going to be taking a direct impact from this with a risk of damaging winds and flooding and landslides could come out of this as well the outer islands. do think at this time people are make preparations. and i wouldn't be surprised if there aren't evacuations issued with this. one thing that is keeping our storm farther off here to the east, nuri, that is, is that high pressure behind i

meteorologist robert speta joins us now with the latest weather conditions. >> yes, let's start off with this storm system, which has really been lingering for nearly a week now. it's been bringing torrential amount of rainfall. you can see on the satellite picture, you have your low pressure center off the coastline. that's starting to plof off to the east. it's really that front associated with this, dumping that rainfall across much of argentina through uruguay and southern portions of brazil have been reporting some flooding out here. let's go to video first out of buenos aires, where you have been seeing that rain really come down. and it's just an unrelenting across this area of the country. some cities throughout the province were flooded on tuesday. one section of highway was also destroyed. you see here people wading through water in front of their homes. and some had to use small boats for transportation. authorities reported about 5,000 people across 23 districts have been evacuated. some sport complexes as well-being used as evacuation shelters for those people that had to le

here's robert speta with the details. >> let's start by talking about what is going on out here. for those who have travel plans in the eastern u.s. it is going to be a slow go at the very least especially over the next 24 hours. especially in new england. in the south we have a few tornado watches in florida and north carolina and in total, four tornados have been reported out here, two in louisiana here on your monday, one into mississippi and another one over towards georgia. now all of this is continuing to pull off there to the east. the good news is that conditions especially on the eastern seaboards will be improving as we look ahead to tuesday and eventually over towards wednesday especially out here to the northeast. into washington and into new york i know a lot of you who plan on flying there have been significant delays. actually, at reagan international, there in washington, d.c., total ground stop for a few hours here on monday. definitely a lot of travellers being held up because of this. as you can see here, this all moves off to the northeast. but you still have

meteorologist robert speta explains. >> yes.'s start off talking about what is happening out here. we do have the typical high pressure overhead. that makes for very stagnant, still air. but let's go to some images coming out of beijing because what we are seeing on the ground right now is this very thick smog. just one week, as you mentioned, just after the apec summit. where you were seeing blue skies at the time, but a lot of those restrictions that were in place have been lifted since then. authorities are calling for pollution levels to be up near hazardous. typically, actually the world health organization recommends that a daily p.m. 2.5 level should be right around 20. what we are seeing in beijing right now. about 350. it's definitely one of those days where people are being advised to stay indoors, try to reduce any outdoor strenuous activities because that is what we're going to be expecting over the next 24 to 48 hours. we have a cold front actually pushing away from northeastern china right now. this didn't do too m
