now. they re definitely talking about this taking over the characteristics of the hybrid storm it is predicted to become. they keep it as a category 1 hurricane and it s moving faster now to the north at 10 miles per hour. so that picked up a small amount of forward motion, but they think the center has been wobbly a little bit as we ve gone overnight. in the short term the track has shifted slightly to the east in the next, oh, say 24 to 48 hours. after that they still keep that hard westward motion as it likely will still make a landfall somewhere around delaware, southern new jersey. so the track essentially in the later hours did not change very much. it is well inland. you can see there tuesday at 8:00 with 50-mile an hour winds in south central pennsylvania and it moves up to new york state by wednesday evening with strong winds of 40 miles an hour, but again very heavy rain expected with the system. so essentially in the later hours and for our intents and purposes t
manassas, down to warrenton and culpeper. now we have a lot of new flash flood warnings. i think that s probably the greater concern. these waters are going to continue to rise after the storms and these heavy downpours move out of the area. let me show you on sentinel radar where these warnings are. they go from the roanoke area all the way up to baltimore and in closer on up the number of warnings you see north of 66, that includes most of the metro area and goes until about 4:30 in the morning. we ve been able to take that tornado watch down that was canceled. it will remain in effect down to our south because some of these heavier downpours may still be able to drop some big winds and maybe a little rotation. this is also an area to keep an eye on, culpeper to gainesville, a lot of heavy rain coming up through that region. this is all part of a massive system that s left a huge footprint across the country. gary mcgrady is standing by with the action we saw especially dow
the train and walked through a tunnel. find out what caused the mass confusion. we re live with the latest. let s begin with the storm system tearing through the d.c. area, the wind coming down fast, the rain at least and the wind fast and furious. thanks for joining us tonight. i m brian bolter. i m shawn yancy. sue palka is outside our studios to begin our coverage. how is it doing? reporter: we re still getting rain fairly light to moderate. we can see it here in the street lamp and the wind is not bad. that s been kind of a surprise tonight because we were expecting winds to be a lot worse, but we did not get thunderstorms. we ve had heavy downpours but nothing to reach up and grab those really strong winds and bring them to the surface, although there was a little damage in central virginia with trees down. it s really about the flooding tonight. we do have a number of flash flood warnings which means flooding is occurring. we ll start with that and then give you a
point as well. so you want to be aware of that on the southbound side of i- 270. at this point it s been cleared up, i m happy to say but just be aware of it if you re a commuter through 270 early, early in the morning. if you re planning to head over to the beltway, college park into silver spring, bethesda, we re in great shape. no issues on the great seneca half, route 29 from burtonsville. let s start off with a live look over on 270 here at father hurley boulevard. again, looking great right now. the lanes are open down to the point where the lanes divide. we ll go to virginia on the northbound side of i-95. volumes are building. i m happy to say that it looks normal because it s been so light early in the morning because of all those accidents we had. but right now the hanes are open coming up from lanes are open coming up from dale city to lorton. a quick look at 395 at the 14th street bridge. nice and quiet across the potomac river. thanks, monika. a cracked rai
