Most of the water has receded after Thursday's flash floods, but meteorologists say the rain is expected to continue on and off over the next 24 hours and temperatures will stay chilly through Memorial Day weekend.

Temperatures Friday are expected to linger in the mid-60s, and tri-state residents should keep their umbrellas handy because spotty showers are forecast throughout the day. 

Saturday starts out damp but with a chilly feel more reminiscent of early fall than the unofficial start of summer. Temperatures aren't expected to break out of the 50s, and a biting wind out of the northwest will make it feel even colder. Occasional drizzles are also possible.

The soggy weather ends Sunday, with morning clouds giving way to afternoon sun and temperatures back in the high 60s. Memorial Day is expected to be even nicer, with temperatures in the 70s and sunny skies. 

Humid weather returns later in the week, along with the chance of scattered thunderstorms. 

Five armed suspects accosted a driver as he stopped at a Long Island traffic light early Thursday, hitting him in the head with a gun before robbing him and stuffing him in the trunk of his Mercedes sedan, authorities said.

Police said the suspects drove around with the 35-year-old victim in the trunk for a brief time after the carjacking on North Long Beach Avenue in Freeport.

Then they stopped the car, tied up the victim's hands and feet, put Duct tape over his mouth and dumped him in the backyard of a home on Jefferson Avenue in Lakeview.

The victim managed to free himself and walked to a friend's home. He was taken to the hospital with a laceration to the head where he was hit with the gun. 

The suspects are described as being between the ages of 18 and 20. All were wearing hooded sweatshirts during the carjacking. 

Police ask anyone with information to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at (800)-244-TIPS.

Actress Amanda Bynes was arrested by police in her midtown apartment Thursday night after officers said her room reeked of marijuana and caught her throwing drug paraphernalia out the window, law enforcement sources said.

The doorman at Bynes' building on West 47th Street called police to report she was smoking marijuana in the lobby, sources said. When officers arrived, Bynes had returned to her apartment on the 36th floor.

Officers observed a bong inside Bynes' apartment as she opened the door,  the sources said. That's when she allegedly grabbed it and tossed it out of the window.

Officers also noted a "heavy" smell of marijuana and smoke inside the apartment, according to the sources. 

Bynes was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of marijuana. 

She was taken to Roosevelt Hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, then to a Midtown police station to be processed, according to the sources. She was expected to spend the night in Manhattan central booking and appear in court Friday. 

A message was left with Bynes' attorney late Thursday night.

Bynes, whose increasingly bizarre behavior has been the subject of tabloid scrutiny in recent months, is already under probation for driving with a suspended license. The plea deal secured in Burbank, Calif. earlier this month placed Bynes under three years probation. 

The former Nickelodeon star also has a DUI case pending in Beverly Hills. 

A New Jersey police officer is accused of firebombing a police captain's home where the captain was inside with his wife, two children and elderly mother, prosecutors said. 

Officer Michael A. Dotro, 36, was arrested at his home in Manalapan Thursday. He faces charges of attempted murder and aggravated arson.

Prosecutors said Dotro, who worked with Captain Mark Anderko in the Edison Police Department, intentionally set fire to Anderko's home in Monroe Township at about 4 a.m. Monday. The blaze was extinguished within about 15 minutes but heavily damaged the two-story colonial. 

Anderko was inside the house at the time with his wife, two children and 92-year-old mother, prosecutors said. The children's bedrooms were in front of the house, their windows inches away from where the aluminum siding melted from the heat of the flames. 

Neighbor Haarika Reddy said the smoke detector couldn't pick up on the fire immediately, but the family dog sensed the flames and woke Anderko's wife, who in turn alerted the rest of the family. 

No one was hurt. 

Dotro, who has been an Edison police officer for nine years, was suspended from his job with pay. Bail has been set at $5 million.

Lawrence Bitterman, the attorney for Dotro, told NBC 4 New York it was "completely incomprehensible that Mike would be capable of something like this." 

Officials did not disclose a motive.

Anderko, who has been on the Edison police force for 24 years, is one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by another captain in the department, which has been embroiled in controversy for decades and internal lawsuits for the last several years.

The Star-Ledger reported in December that the Edison Police Department's internal affairs unit is accused of failing to pursue officers accused of brutality, and had collected information on civilians and politicians. Dotro, according to the Star-Ledger, was the subject of some brutality complaints.

Both the Middlesex County prosecutor's office and the state attorney general's office, who have been investigating the Edison Police Department, are looking into the arson. 

Capt. Bruce Polkowitz, the president of the local police union, said Wednesday he was stunned by the attack on Anderko's home.

"It's unprecedented. I've never heard of anything like this, an attack on a police officer," he said. "Mark is a genuinely good person, a great family man. This whole police department, from a union point of view, we're doing whatever we can to help him out. I spoke to him yesterday, he's as good as can be expected. Our hearts go out to him."

A 17-year-old high school student on his way to prom with three other friends was killed when his car hit the back wheels of a tractor-trailer as he merged onto a New York highway Thursday night, authorities said.

State police say Armando Colon, a student at Middletown High School, tried to merge onto I-84 from State Route 17 at a speed too fast for the wet road conditions that plagued much of the area around rush hour.

His Acura skidded into a tractor-trailer in front of him, then veered off the road. 

Colon was killed in the crash. A 19-year-old man in the passenger seat was treated for minor injuries at the hospital, and two other passengers in the back seats were not injured, police said.

No tickets were issued.

The NYPD is investigating after a 28-year-old man was found stabbed to death in Chelsea Friday morning.

Police say the victim was found with a stab wound to the stomach around 2 a.m. near Eighth Avenue and 26th Street after a taxi driver saw the man bleeding in the street and called 911.

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died.

Witnesses told NBC 4 New York they heard two men arguing before the victim was stabbed.

As Anthony Weiner launched his first day on the trail for New York City mayor Thursday, his campaign scrambled to explain why the homepage of his website featured the Pittsburgh skyline instead of the Big Apple.

After the gaffe was reported Thursday afternoon, the image was changed to a generic skyline and then changed again to a photo collage of city landmarks.

The website designer, NGP VAN, claimed responsibility for the error.

"This is our fault," said VP of Marketing John Brougher. "Our designer got the image from a set of images that included New York City images, but obviously this image was not of New York City, as the Weiner campaign had requested." 

Before the swap was made, the Roberto Clemente Bridge and Pittsburgh skyline were clearly seen in the campaign website header, as first noted by Richard Lampasone on Twitter.

"I love to be reminded of Pittsburgh every time I visit @anthonyweiner's website and see a huge image of it above the campaign logo," he tweeted.

At right, compare the original campaign header on top with the Google Street View image from Pittsburgh at the bottom.

Weiner, who has sought to portray himself as the champion of the outer boroughs, grew up in Brooklyn and represented parts of Brooklyn and Queens in Congress until he resigned two years ago amid a sexting scandal.

The campaign did not comment beyond the statement from the website designer.

Weiner did not address the gaffe Thursday night at a Democratic candidate forum in the Bronx, ducking questions from reporters and hurrying out into a waiting vehicle after he made his remarks. 

Earlier in the morning, Weiner made his first campaign stop, greeting commuters at a subway station in Harlem, where he said he knows he has a lot of work to do.

"I have to prove myself," Weiner said. "I want to get things done and solve problems."

Weiner told reporters he was encouraged by the number of people who expressed support for him during his first stop on the trail, which was the same location as his last campaign stop during his 2005 mayoral bid.

He said he knew he had to do more than just ask for endorsements in order to be a competitive candidate. 

In an op-ed for the Daily News Thursday, Weiner wrote one of his primary goals is to help elevate the middle class -- and make it easier to get there -- by taking innovative approaches to issues like health care costs, education and taxes. He said campaigns too often end up with voters choosing among politicians who point fingers at one another rather than the issues.

"We do a disservice to our city when the campaign for the second-toughest job in America becomes a contest of who can say, 'I ain’t the other guy' the loudest or whose goal is to collect the most interest groups," Weiner wrote. "I’m running for mayor this year because I still think we need to do things differently, and I think New Yorkers agree." 

He also acknowledged that some voters may question his ability in the aftermath of the Twitter sexting scandal. He welcomed voters to ask him those questions, and said he hoped they'd give him a second chance.

"I understand that I may not be the perfect messenger," Weiner wrote in the News op-ed. "I have made some big mistakes that I may spend a lot of time apologizing for on the campaign trail. And if some citizens want to ask me questions about my private failings rather than public policy, I understand."

Brides who planned to marry at a beachfront wedding venue on Long Island abruptly learned the club was closing in mid-April, and are angry that the owner, who they say owes them tens of thousands of dollars, appears to be opening a new restaurant. 

Barbara Lewis, the mother of a bride who had booked her wedding at the Waterview Club in Bayville, is still stunned at how suddenly the business closed, causing her to lose $19,000. 

"We went to a tasting the Friday before he was shut down," said Lewis. "Everything seemed to be fine." 

Tammy Pagnillo, a bride who had a wedding booked at the Waterview Club, said she lost $16,500 and that its owner, Paul Burnup, claimed he can't afford to pay back what he owes.

Burnup's attorneys said he tried to find another caterer to take over the venue but didn't succeed because of a landlord dispute. The attorneys said they are working with the Nassau County District Attorney's office to give the brides their money back and have already paid back some couples.

The district attorney's office would not confirm if it is working with Burnup on a plan to repay the brides but said it is investigating to see if any criminality occurred.  

The brides, meanwhile, are shocked to learn Burnup appears to be planning to open a new restaurant on the other side of Long Island, in Freeport.

"I can't believe it," said Pagnillo. "If this guy claims he has no money and he can't pay us back, how does he have enough money to open a new place?"

Burnup's attorneys say no money from the Waterview Club went to the new venture.

A man who claimed to be the co-owner of the new restaurant, WET Waterfront Dining Lounge, told NBC 4 New York that Burnup was only its manager, but a permit filed with the county health department lists him as its president.

Burnup declined direct requests for comment, saying "it's a legal issue that's being taken care of in the courts."

Flash flood warnings remain in effect for parts of the tri-state as a round of storms moves through the area, forecasters say.

Westchester County, Fairfield County, and Hudson, Passaic, Bergen and eastern Essex counties in New Jersey are being warned that heavy rainfall could lead to flash floods into the overnight hours.

Other areas of the tri-state that have already received heavy rain and flash flooding could see additional showers and thunderstorms through the night. 

The National Weather Service warned residents: "do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches of rapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle."

Some areas saw as much as 3 to 4 inches of rain by Thursday night.

The Saw Mill River Parkway remains shut down between exits 17 and 15 on the southbound side, and exits 13 and 15 on the northbound side. 

The FDR southbound at the RFK-Triboro Bridge has reopened after flooding forced its closure earlier Thursday night. 

Track all severe weather alerts for our area here.

Temperatures aren't expected to get much higher than 60 degrees Friday. Periodic rainfall is expected to move out by Friday night, but forecasters say the area could still experience some drizzles on Saturday, which will remain cool.

Temperatures Sunday don't get much better with a predicted high of 60 degrees, but the sun is expected to be out for some of the day so it will be a bit warmer.

Memorial Day looks to be the best day of the weekend at this point, with highs reaching back into the 70s amid partly sunny skies.

Police are questioning a 16-year-old boy in the shooting of a14-year-old girl on a Queens bus last weekend, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Thursday.

The shooting on Saturday was believed to be over a dispute with another gang, and he was allegedly firing at other gang members on the street when the gunshot went through the window of the bus and hit Daja Robinson in the head.

Kelly said police had been looking for the suspect since "shortly after the shooting, and we're speaking to him now."

The boy was picked up at his home in the Rockaways, police said.

Robinson was on her way home from a sweet 16 party, police said. She was sitting about three rows from the back of the bus when she was struck.

The mother of the girl who was killed said earlier this week that she "can't accept that she's been shot."

"She didn't deserve it, at all," Shadia Sands said.

Police are searching for two men who allegedly assaulted and robbed a man in a Bronx subway station.

The NYPD released surveillance video showing the suspects walk by the victim, who was asleep in the Buhre Avenue station on the 6 line in Pelham Bay at around 2 a.m. on Saturday.

Police said the men awoke the victim, led him out of view of the surveillance camera, then assaulted and robbed him of his iPhone and wallet. 

Both suspects are believed to be 18 years old, 5 foot 9, and between 160 and 170 pounds. One was wearing a purple t-shirt and black jeans and the other was wearing a black baseball cap, a black t-shirt and black jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or at nypdcrimestoppers.com. 

A 25-year-old woman has been arrested in the death of 12-year-old Gywan Levine Jr., who was shot as he dribbled a basketball while walking with his father on a New Jersey street last week, prosecutors said.

Janice Everett, of Rahway, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the fatal shooting of the boy on Rutgers Avenue in Jersey City Friday night.

Detectives believe Everett and two men were involved in a robbery attempt when the boy was shot; authorities are looking for the two other suspects. Witnesses had previously said two men approached the victims and three shots were fired, but it wasn't clear if those two men are the ones police are seeking.

The boy, Gywan Levine Jr., was shot in the shoulder area and his father was hit in the leg. Both victims were taken to the hospital, but the boy was pronounced dead a short time later. His father was expected to be OK.

Investigators believe Everett and the two male suspects were involved in at least one other robbery in Jersey City on the day of the shooting. Everett faces charges in that robbery as well.

Everett was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on charges including felony murder, armed robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card. Information on an attorney for her wasn't immediately available.

A contracting company in charge of renovating a garage that was the site of a deadly accident Thursday will conduct an investigation into the incident.

A 50,000-pound section of the Westfield Montgomery Mall's garage collapsed just before 2 p.m., killing one construction worker with Whiting-Turner Contracting Co.

The mall's garage, near Macy's and the food court, was under renovation. Only construction workers were inside during the accident.

The second worker was trapped for more than four hours before being hospitalized with serious injuries. He gave News4's David Culver a thumbs-up as he was being transported.

Several other construction workers suffered minor injuries.

Emergency medical personnel from the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore responded to the scene, as did as many as 100 other emergency responders.

• PHOTOS: From the Scene of the Parking Garage Collapse

Maryland's Go-Team, an advanced resuscitation team from Shock Trauma that can respond to seriously injured patients and those that face extrication that may last an hour or more, was called to the scene as well.

One woman who had parked close to the parking garage told News4's Tom Sherwood that she had gotten into her car and was driving away when she heard a "loud crash."

There was no structural damage to the mall. But one section of the mall was closed, and entrances near the parking garage were taped off. 

Westlake Drive and Democracy Boulevard is closed to traffic at this time.

The collapse happened on the first level of the multi-story garage, Segraves reported. There was no immediate information as to the cause of the crash.

The Westfield Montgomery Mall opened its doors in March 1968. It originally featured a Hecht’s, Garfinckel’s, Sears and 58 smaller shops. The mall, located on Democracy Boulevard near  I-270 and I-495, is the largest in the Bethesda area.

In 2007, The Montgomery County Planning Board approved plans to add 360,000 feet of retail space to the 1.2 million-square-foot mall.

There are plans underway to construct a 16-screen, 60,000 square foot ArcLight Cinema above the parking garage on the west side of the mall that was projected to open in spring 2014. Redevelopment plans also include a new and expanded dining terrace.

This renovation project closed the food court parking garage, which is expected to reopen in fall 2013.

Representatives with the Westfield Mall released the following statement Thursday evening:

"As has been reported, earlier today a construction-related accident occurred at Westfield Montgomery. The accident occurred in a parking deck that was closed for redevelopment. Unfortunately, the accident resulted in serious injuries to what is believed to be two victims, including one fatality. Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies go out to the victims and their families.

Emergency responders continue to operate on site, Westfield is working closely with these authorities and is grateful for their rapid and comprehensive response. Responders and investigators are working in and around the closed and quarantined parking structure."

Authorities are investigating after two people were found dead in a home in a gated New Jersey community Thursday morning.

Police responded to Kinnelon's Smoke Rise community after a report came in that involved a home on Long Meadow Road shortly after 8 a.m.

Prosecutors and other law enforcement agencies were called to the scene when the bodies were found.

Nearby streets were closed for a time to assist in the investigation. 

A 12-year-old Manhattan girl was grazed by a bullet that came through her window while she was sitting on her bed in her home Monday night. 

The girl was doing her homework in her family's sixth-floor apartment in Morningside Heights when she said she heard a noise and then felt something hot on her neck.

Police believe someone fired shots on the street and that one of the bullets ricocheted off the fire escape outside the girl's window, came through the glass and grazed her neck.

"I just hear, 'Pow, pow, pow.' I got scared and by the time I got up, a bullet went in my hair," the girl told NBC 4 New York. "I ran out and I said, 'I've been hit. I've been hit.'"

The girl's father said: "That's like lightning coming through the window and hitting you. That's crazy. Even the cops were saying that's crazy." 

The girl was taken to the hospital and treated for a burn.

Police are still looking for whoever fired the shot. 

More New Yorkers find themselves addicted to doctor-prescribed narcotics, and increasingly the city is treating the problem as a public health crisis.

“Physicians have been taught for a long time that these drugs are safe -- that they can use them in large doses over a long period of time and that people will not get addicted and they will not have a drug overdose. That is not true,” said Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City's health commissioner.

To combat pain pill addiction, Farley’s office is launching a campaign that looks a lot like the city’s highly publicized assaults on sugary drinks, salt and smoking.

One prong of the attack features public service announcements, with grim depictions of opioid addiction running on Staten Island cable television.

This summer, the city will also send teams of educators to individual doctor offices to instruct prescribers on the dangers of opioids. Farley is concerned too many physicians are thoughtlessly writing oxycodone prescriptions for chronic pain, when the pills are more appropriate for acute pain associated with end-of-life ailments like cancer.

“We don’t want someone who is suffering from low back pain to turn that into dependence, addiction, or even worse, a drug overdose,” Farley said.

This month, the Health Department released a report showing opioid overdoses increased 65 percent – from 2 to 3.3 deaths per 100,000 residents – between 2005 and 2011.

The problem is especially pronounced on Staten Island, which has seen a steep rise in the rate of overdoses. While the rate of pain pill deaths rose across all boroughs, Staten Island’s rate was four times higher than in Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn. Staten Island’s overdose rate was three and a half times higher than in the Bronx.

Among the pain pill casualties was Nicholas Clohessy, 18, a Tottenville High School football star. Shortly after his senior season ended, Clohessy, a team captain, began showing signs of opioid addiction. His older sister Kristen Clohessy said her brother was preparing to join the U.S. Marine Corps in a few weeks when he suddenly died.

The autopsy showed OxyContin and Percocet in his system.

“It’s the worst feeling in the world. I wouldn’t wish it for anybody,” Kristen Clohessy said.

“To see what my parents go through every single day. One of their children isn’t here," she said. "No parent should have to bury their child. Children should bury their parents.”

The Clohessy family is now calling for more oversight of doctors that prescribe high volumes of opioid pain killers.

“For a toothache, do I really need something like OxyContin?” Clohessy asked.

Last year, an I-Team investigation revealed many of the doctors who prescribe the most pain pills under New York’s Medicaid program are also the subjects of criminal and regulatory penalties. More recently, ProPublica found 10 of the top 20 prescribers of OxyContin under Medicare have been criminally charged, convicted, settled fraud claims, or have been disciplined by their state medical boards.

Tony Salters, a spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told the I-Team his agency has only limited authority to revoke Medicare billing privileges for high-volume opioid prescribers.

“Payments may be suspended to a provider pending an investigation of a credible allegation of fraud,” Salters said.

That limited authority leaves many of the most flagrant opioid prescribers in apparent good standing with Medicare, even though they may be facing other criminal or regulatory charges.

For example, there’s no record that Felix Lanting, 86, was ever placed on the national Medicare exclusion list, even after he was criminally charged for running a pill mill that flooded Staten Island with 3,000 oxycodone prescriptions in just six months. Lanting ultimately admitted to illegally distributing oxycodone and surrendered his medical license.

A lawyer for Lanting had no comment for this story.

Salters says Medicare administrators recently submitted a proposed rule that would expand the program’s authority to suspend doctors.

Aside from efforts to educate doctors on the dangers of over-prescribing, the Bloomberg administration is pushing the Food and Drug Administration to revise opioid labeling to better reflect the dangers of addiction and overdose death.

When asked why Staten Island overdose rates are so much higher than other boroughs, Farley admitted he is flummoxed.

“I was surprised, and I don’t fully understand it. But I am very worried about it.”

An Oklahoma tornado survivor with New York City roots is thankful he and his family escaped serious harm but now faces the devastating dilemma of whether to abandon the life he has built in Moore.

Saad Muhammed lives in the western part of Moore, close to the Oklahoma City border. Originally from East Flatbush, he left Brooklyn in the late 1980s and has been living in Oklahoma for the last 18 years. 

He was inside his home with his wife, Desiree, and their twin teenage boys when the tornado swept through. Saad ushered them into a tiny closet.

"I put the blanket on them, and I jumped on top of the blanket -- just in case something came down and hit me first, so I could protect them," he told NBC 4 New York. 

"Our ears started popping, and we just went in there and we were like, 'It's coming now,'" his wife said. "And we could hear, it was almost like a train." 

Saad walked NBC 4 New York through his tornado-ravaged home on South Robinson Avenue in Moore Wednesday. Debris was scattered everywhere, and part of his roof was ripped off. The ceiling was caved in, with a 2-by-4 protruding through the living room ceiling. His children's bedrooms were turned upside down. 

With 18 years of memories, Saad and his wife aren't quite ready to say goodbye. 

"It's now hitting me, how difficult it is to know that you're not coming back," said his wife. "And I keep wanting to come back here."

"This is the hard part: We're at a friend's house, and I wake up and I'm thinking I'm in my bed. But it takes that few seconds and then I just keep wanting to come here, and I don't want them to tear this part down," she said. "I know it's just a house, but it's my house." 

The Muhammeds have homeowners insurance and are faced with three choices: they can rebuild on their existing property, rebuild elsewhere in Moore or take a lower cut and move somewhere else.

The Miami Heat opened the Eastern Conference Finals with a dramatic overtime win, securing victory at the buzzer in overtime on a LeBron James layup.

With 2.2 seconds to go, James took an inbounds pass from Shane Battier and made a beeline for the rim to hit the final shot, making it a 103-102 win over the Indiana Pacers.

James notched his ninth career playoff triple double with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.

PHOTOS: Heat Top Pacers in Game 1

"Two teams fought hard," James said. "We were able to make one more play."

Dwyane Wade scored 19 points, Chrish Bosh had 17 points, and Chris "Birdman" Andersen scored 16 points off the bench.

Seconds after Ray Allen missed one of two free throws that could have iced the game, Paul George forced overtime when he hit a 3-pointer from 32 feet with under a second to go in the fourth quarter.

He also appeared to give the Pacers a win in overtime when he drew a questionable foul call on Dwayne Wade while throwing up a desperation 3-pointer. He hit all three free throws to give the Pacers a one-point lead, but the reigning MVP made sure it would not last.

George scored 27 points, David West scored 26, and Roy Hibbert had 19 with 9 rebounds for Indiana.

Complete Miami Heat Coverage

Quizzically, Pacers coach Frank Vogel benched Hibbert on defense in the final two Heat possessions, likely fearing he would not be able to defend an outside shot from Chris Bosh. In both possessions, James drove to the hoop for go-ahead buckets.

"I would say we would probably have him in next time," Vogel said.

Early on it looked like the Pacers had lulled Miami into the kind of defensive slugfest that would normally favor Indiana. They led 42-37 at the half, forcing 13 Heat turnovers limiting James' and Bosh's minutes due to foul trouble.

Miami picked it up in the second half with a healthy dose of Andersen. Playing in a big lineup alongside Chris Bosh for stretches, he got multiple easy baskets at the rim by sneaking up on Hibbert on the weak side.

"Welcome to the Eastern Conference finals," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Back and forth the whole way."

The Heat were out-rebounded by Indiana 43-38, but Miami had 16 offensive rebounds, including one in the final minute of overtime when Bosh made a putback (only his second rebound of the game) and got fouled, tying the game on the ensuing free throw.

"We're excited about the win," James said. "But we have to get better going into Game 2.

 The series continues with Game 2 on Friday night in Miami.
