with a career high 52 points and the grizzlies beat the spurs 118-105. time now for the weather, and let s go to meteorologist bill karins for the forecast. great to see you again. what does it look like out there? yeah, too bad that someone like the knicks can t get someone like him. i don t mean to beat on knicks fans. so let s get into this forecast. the northwest has by far the worst weather in the nation. the rest of the nation is a quiet start to march. you know the old saying march comes in like a lion, out like a lamb. for the most part it s the lamb everywhere. the exception is the northwest. river flooding in many places. we have avalanche threats because of the heavy rain and the melting snow. everywhere in the maroon there which includes the seattle area to mt. rainier, all under flash flood warnings and river warnings, so a lot of troublesome weather in the northwest. that s where all the bad weather will stay for the day today with
reality that s coming? yeah, for a lot of vaccines, we need shots with some frequency, maybe once a year. i do think this booster is going to be necessary for many and we might need some again in the future. all right, dr. jha, thank you. in 2 northeathe northeast a hour, parts of pennsylvania, new york, up into new england and the severe thunderstorm watch. we re watching it. damaging winds possible and of course the flash flood watches across four states in the south tonight from louisiana to florida, because that system has simply stalled. so, let s get right to senior meteorologist rob marciano, tracking it all for us tonight. reporter: hey, david. summer-like heat fueling these severe storms. look at where the center of the low is now. it s pretty much where it was last night. flood watches remain up through new orleans, all the way from panama city through at least tomorrow. we ve had warnings around pensacola and river warnings, as well. in the northeast, we re looking a
they ve done it again. it is sliding eastward. look at the numbers. killeen, just below 21 1/2. austin, storm total over 16 1/4. they picked up 14 1/2 in a 24-hour period. that was a record that went back to 1974. over 350 calls for help in the houston area. small tornadoes have been in the parishes of louisiana mainly around at zero, enough to, you know, down a tree and cause some power outages, but if you head back into texas we had three fatalities in travis county, two in harris county, one in san antonio, and possibly two more to add in the houston area. now the conveyor belt is bringing the heavy flooding rains to parts of mississippi, alabama, into georgia. it will soon continue its way to south and north carolina. but, again, the rivers were already swelling in parts of texas so, that s why they had those water rescues. but there could be definitely some problems to be found here across the parishes of louisiana. river warnings still in effect back into texas but it s just a wa
so you know, and they re not going to be worried about storm surge. but this surge is going to be a big problem. even if you don t live along the coast, you are still going to be affected by this. the rain we re talking about, anywhere from five to 15 inches of rain. and here in the northeast, alex, as you know, we have been getting socked with rain for the month of august. there s nowhere for this water to go. the rivers can t handle it, the groundwater, the ground is already totally saturated. and so we re going to be looking at flooding. whether you live along the coast or you live inland. especially in fact, there are a lot of river warnings, flood warnings going up now. so this hurricane is going to really have a major impact over the next 72 hours. in fact, they re talking about some of the rivers, especially in new jersey, they may not crest until tuesday night into wednesday morning. so the impacts of irene are going to be felt long after she has gone away.
