The train involved in the incident will be take on the a rail yard and look closer for clues about what went wrong. Now, as far as that arcing that youre hearing so much about, the ntsb says sometimes that big spark, that electrical spark can start beating on itself getting bigger and bigger and thats when it leads to a bigger problem. In this case, it leads to a lot of smoke. Live from Lenphant Plaza, adam tuss news4. One of the passengers who may have been in the railcar with that woman who died shot this video.

The paperwork for that appeal was formally filed today. Mcdonnell and his wife maureen, were found guilty of taking thousands of dollars to promote a friends company. We have a beautiful weekend up ahead, but first we have a little problem to get through on wednesday. Kind of like last week the timing of this system is really the big thing about it. Its not the amount of snow well get because were not going to get a lot of snow. Last week we got some areas 2 to 3 inches, some more. This time if you get an inch thats going to be about it for most of us. And areas out to the west probably wont even see that much. Current temperature right now sitting at 32 degrees and this once again is why we have the issue. Look at the north winds at 13 Miles Per Hour putting our windchill in the low 20s. Current temperature 23 in gaithersburg 27 manassas 29 in huntingtown. So were already below freezing. Because of that when the snow does start it will once again stick on the roadways. Very very quickly. So heres what to expect tomorrow morning. Snow and ice. The ice mainly down to the south and east but everything mainly along and east of i95 so im not expecting much of this through the west of i95. Delays will be possible in areas like Prince Georges County Charles County maybe stafford Spotsylvania County over towards king george and the rest of the area to the south and east. Winter weather advisory is from 4 00 a. M. To 12 00. It includes Montgomery County and Howard County back towards eastern Loudoun County not western, but eastern Loudoun County and Fairfax County. Kind of surprised by this. Im not expecting much at all in this region. However, eve an dusting of snow with these conditions could lead to some slow commutes tomorrow so give yourself extra time. Down to the south and east around that Prince Georges County area Charles County even calvert and st. Marys county i think thats the area that will see the hardest problem early tomorrow morning with rush hour so heads up for that. Storm team 4 radar showing the system and once again not a lot going on down here. Not a very strong system but it is starting to gain a little bit of strength starting to pick up a little bit of moisture weather typing it out for us around 11 00, just dealing with the cloud cover. By around 4 00 in the morning, here comes the s thee snow and notice where it is. Waldorf, quantico fredericksburg Lexington Park huntingtown, dunkirk, prince frederick. To the north, washington, this commuter model not even bringing the snow that far north. I think d. C. Will see some snax snowflakes but most will be to the south and east and notice the area thats not even under the advisory this computer model giving the most down here. Again i think st. Marys could be ti even though youre not in the advisory watch out for this storm system. By 9 00 10 00, just about out of here. Not anticipating problems tomorrow evening. But wednesday forecast down to the south, d. C. Along i95 maybe a dusting, upwards of an inch but 1 to 2 inches waldorf, huntingtown, mechanicsville back down towards colonial beach, King George County snow changing to fleet south and southern maryland. Thats the area well see the biggest problem. 32 degrees on your wednesday, 36 on thursday 43 on friday then temperatures warming as we head to the weekend, saturday and sunday both looking pretty good but throwing in a chance of showers for sunday.

Why the fbi says it needs more time searching for clu. We are lering more about the woman who died from that underground emergency on metro. Meanwhile, there are many questions lingering about what went wrong. 61yearold carol glover of alexandria virginia was killed in the incident at the Lenphant Plaza metro station. National Transportation Safety investigators say it all started with an electrical malfunction along the third rail. The ntsb has wrapped up its work on the tracks at the station so the yellow line is now back in the control of metro officials. We have Team Coverage. Adam tuss will have more on when Yellow Line Service will return. Were going to begin with Scott Mcfarland with more on the issues created from passengers attempting to try to escape that smokefilled train yesterday. Yeah wendy. When the train isnt move, conditions are getting uncomfortable perhaps dangerous inside. Yesterday wasnt the first time passengers started venturing out of the train and onto the tracks. The iteam has received warnings from metro it could happen again too. January 2013 green line same initial problem as yesterdays incident on metro, an arc, electrical problem on the third rail hundreds of passengers stuck in a train between the anacostia and navy yard stations. Some safely evacuated by police but dozens of others didnt wait bailing out of the train on their own onto the track and Transit Police had to escort them through a tunnel vent shaft to safety into an empty lot in anacostia. A u. S. Park Police Copter was dispatched to keep track of them. The log shows the council recently recommended to met reese board it consider setting a formal time frame, a time limit after which people who have been stuck on trains that have not received instructions from metro be expected to selfevacuate. One council membe says in rare cases selfevacuations might be necessary, though he acknowledges theyre dangerous. A legitimate issue about once people evacuate the train, then what do they do. There are a lot of safety hazards in the tunnel that if people do not have guidance could become a problem. Reporter when we asked metro today about its evacuation procedures and passenger selfevacuations, th referred us to the National Transportation safety bod them they said they needed to complete their investigation into yeste before discussing. The iteam found inside a metro Board Meeting after the 2013 incident they discussed this danger. One Agency Executive said when riders become fearful theyd rather take the risk on the tracks. Customers were alarmed, some were frightened all inconvenienced and very uncomfortable by the heat and the crowding conditions on the board those trains. Reporter one former metro board member today told me he cant envision way way to recommend or create a system for selfevacuations. Visit our webpage for our past stories involving metro and its rails, nbcwashington. Com investigations. There you can also send us a tip if you see something you think we should be investigating. Jim . Thank you, scott. Some members of congress are wanting answers from metro about that incident and metros response to it. Adam tuss is at the Lenphant Plaza metro station now where the ntsb just wrapped up an inspection of the tracks earlier today. Adam whats the latest youve learned there . Reporter a couple of big developments today, jim. First of all, we found out the name of the victim 61yearold carol glover from alexandria. You heard in pat collins report she rode the yellow line every single day and certainly our thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and to her family. The second big development, people want to know when Yellow Line Service is going to be restored. There are no yellow line trains running right now. Its just blue line service. The fact that the National Transportation safety bod gotten in here figured out what they need to see and now theyre off metro property they can then release the property back to metro, essentially giving it back to them. Metro can then get in there, start making the repairs to the tunnel and im told there are repairs that need to be made in that yellow line tunnel before any sort of service can start. But metro can now start that process. And the third thing is that weve been hearing so much from the National Transportation safety b today and last night, everything pointing to e third rail and the power cables that connect to the third rail. Certainly that arcing issue youve been hearing a lot about. Theres a lot of technical terms that go along with a lot of this stuff. Arcing is basically a big flash, a big spark, and kit grow larger and larger. If theres any sort of water or snow down on the tracks that can certainly make it a bigger problem. And yesterday was certainly a very wet day here. Sthoez thoez are the big developments we learned about today. All of that being said, adam what can metro riders expect for the commute tomorrow especially those that might normally go that way . Reporter what i can tell you right now is that the incident train, the train involved in yesterdays episode, is still down there on the yellow line. They havent even moved it out of the way yet. They dont want to move it because it would impact rush hour service. Theyre going to get that out of the way, make the repairs to the tunnel and then they can make an assessment about getting Yellow Line Service back to normal. One more thing i want to mention, metro tells us there was a lot of personal property left on that train and riders are going to have the chance to claim that at metro headquarters tomorrow. Adam tuss our transportation reporter, we appreciate it. If you need help getting around while the yellow line is closed our traffic reporter Melissa Mollet has posted tips for you.
