00:00As we look at the overall tornado watch here for this area, we're looking at some areas from southern Indiana,
00:05southwestern parts of Ohio, southeast Illinois, and into central and western Kentucky where we're facing an ongoing tornado watch.
00:13This runs until midnight eastern time or 11 central time.
00:16And the tornado risk is the highest category here that we're facing.
00:20That's three out of four.
00:22Among wind, flooding, hail, and tornadoes, we're most concerned about tornadoes in this area.
00:26And the scale does go up to extreme, so a high risk for the AccuWeather Index is three out of four.
00:32So just be aware of that.
00:34And the risk area is greatest in a pretty confined zone right along the immediate Ohio Valley.
00:39Our forecast team did a really good job at highlighting this.
00:42And, again, that's where we've seen the bulk of the damage, the western end of that red zone.
00:47Let's go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania right now as we're dealing with also some heat
00:51and the chance for some intense thunderstorms eventually rolling into this area fairly soon into the day tomorrow.
00:58We have a lot of areas under heat advisories and excessive heat warnings for Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
01:03Excessive heat warnings for you.
01:05Heat advisories for New York City.
01:07Heat advisory for many areas trimmed away from Pittsburgh recently as you're getting a little cooler at this hour.
01:13But we're going to watch this humidity and heat continue to sail into the area.
01:17The flood risk, that's a big concern, from St. Louis to southern parts of Michigan
01:22and then eventually into parts of the northeast as well.
01:25So, overall, temperatures are still steamy, 94 in Washington, D.C.
01:29That 75 up in Portland looks pretty inviting compared to what's going on farther south.
01:33And the heat continues to bake parts of the northeast with heat and humidity.
01:36AccuWeather real field temperatures will be ranging between 95 and 105 in the red zones for Wednesday.
01:42But then the storms begin to break out as the tropical rainstorm burrow moves just to the north of this area.
01:50And it's going to generally ride just to the north.
01:52But, again, south of the storm track will be that area where there will be some rotating thunderstorms.
01:57And that's the big concern for upstate New York and northern and central Pennsylvania tomorrow.
02:01Let's watch this play out here.
02:0210 p.m. tonight, still some storminess there into Louisville and Cincinnati
02:06and drenching rain through Detroit and up into southwest Michigan.
02:09One area that's seeing some of that really persistent rain has been southwest Michigan.
02:12You may see some significant flash flooding develop there.
02:16Then tomorrow afternoon, these storms get going,
02:18and they're going to be pivoting through the area near I-80 and points northward
02:22with some steaminess driving storms farther south.
