Severe Weather Overnight Across the Northeast

Overnight, dangerous flash flooding and severe storms slamming the northeast. The downpour swapping streets across the tri-state area. The thing was completely flooded. You couldn't see the road. In Queens, New York, this expressway flooded, water up to the window of this submerged car. Police wading through the waist-deep waters, bringing that person to safety. On the Bronx-Queens Expressway, these men sought shelter on the top of their truck. A fire truck plowing through the deep water to reach them. Water bursting into the subway station, soaking commuters as cascades of water pour downstairs. Cars driving through flooded streets in downtown Manhattan. The flash flooding surging into homes. We were trapped down there. As soon as we opened the door, it started flooding right in. In New Jersey, vehicles abandoned in the high water in Newark. I could have drowned in there. This tow truck driver wading in the waist-deep water and debris after his own truck got stuck. The water got hot. It started raining more. Everything just went dead on my truck. The weather even disrupting the World Cup preparations. This time-lapse video showing storms moving over the New York-New Jersey Stadium. Spain's practice canceled. The storm also triggering major travel headaches. Passengers on both airplanes since 9.30 this morning, and they're getting pretty business. The FAA issuing ground stops across the storm zone with at least 2,300 cancellations and more than 8,000 delays across the country Saturday. And hundreds of cancellations already in place for today. Now, days after all that wildfire smoke smothered the region, the rain finally pushing all that toxic air out of the Northeast. But with those dangerous wildfires still burning in Canada, millions along the Great Lakes will face much more smoke and air quality concerns through tomorrow. And out West, devastating monsoon flooding. Authorities confirming that the missing 29-year-old Arizona man was killed after being swept away. Meanwhile, in Texas, cleanup and recovery efforts still underway after last week's intense flooding. Arkansas sending search and rescue teams to help. And still thinking about those communities there. The weather threat shifts today. Monsoon moisture will keep flash flooding a concern in the Southwest, as you saw, while severe storms are expected to stretch from Southern Virginia to Northern Georgia. So another round on the way, guys. I mean, it's just so much weather and we're seeing so many effects of it and the damage and all of that. Thank you so much, Morgan. Let's get more on the severe weather risks now. Meteorologist Leslie Lopez is here now with what to expect. Leslie, good morning. Good morning. We're just showing you more of what we saw yesterday. This is over into Queens yesterday. That severe line of storms moving through, dropping in so much heavy rainfall. Now that same system is shifting South. It is getting down into areas of Virginia, all the way into Atlanta, bringing with it the same type of weather. We're talking about heavy amounts of rain, the opportunity for damaging winds, which we did see yesterday as well. And we're going to continue to see the opportunity for this wet weather, even stretching all the way down into Hattiesburg. We're going to call this a two out of five threat level in that yellow. Again, we could see that heavy rainfall, even an isolated tornado as a possibility as we're moving forward. And then we're going to see the opportunity for this rainfall to really just continue to move in as we're heading into it looks like even by the time we're ending tonight. So we're going to keep the wet weather going.
