Q: Answer-Find out the error according to the grammar and context of the given sentences. If there is no error...

Rain is an uncountable noun, and with uncountable nouns, we use the singular verb was, not were.The sentence is talking about heavy rain singular, so the correct verb form is was.Thus, the error is in 3, and the corrected sentence would beForecasters warned of dangerous winds from Florida all the way north to New Jersey, while heavy rain was likely across New York and New England.
