And on the tail end of this front, here is areas of tennessee, mississippi, on the tail end a big area of low pressure thats going to sit and spin and its not going to move very much at all over the next 24, maybe even 36 hours. Our rain chances will be going up. For the second half of the weekend i think a higher chance and especially monday early part of next week, so until then, just a very slight chance of a brief passing shower as youll see in just a cle temperatures are going to be coming down.

New general manager Paul Wiedefeld not happy at all about this most recent incident, and when we caught up with him today oneonone, he talked an awful lot about metro employees taking responsibility. This metro train operator may lose his job for running a red signal, and metros new leader clear across the agency that people are being are being held accountable. Reporter do you think people are afraid of you. Im not trying to get anyone afraid of me. I want them to buy in to you own this system. We all own this system together as the agency, so you should feel the pride to get it right. Reporter while the operator in this case did not get it right, he had the train on the wrong control setting. Here is what happened exactly. This train was entering whats known as a pocket track or middle track and thats when the problem started. Let me show you what the pocket track is. The pocket track is that one right in the middle. Its essentially a middle track that you can use for all sorts of things, but the train went into that area, went too far past the red light. Here is where it gets a little bit technical. Longer eightcar metro trains are only supposed to enter that pocket track in a human controlled manual mode. This train was in a computer controlled automatic mode, and the automatic mode told the thats a big problem for a Transit Agency thats trying to return all of its trains to a fully automatic mode of operation. Metro has now made an engineering change to its technology to prevent this from happening again. Now, these incidents can also slow things down on the tracks. When this incident did happen, everybody had to be offloaded. Metro says there was no threat to their safety though. Jim, back to you. Adam tuss. Thanks.

The postseason is all about mental toughness. This years team, you know, has lost close ones and struggled, and there is good experience so my hope is that well prepare as well as we can and there will be a level of toughness. Thats what you hope. Its about endurance at this point. Its about not believing your body is fatigued and playing through it and continuing to try to play the right way. You know, i think this team is tough. I wouldnt c with whether or not this team is tougher than last years team or anything like that. I think its two different teams and both of the teams are tough. Mentally were ready where we need to be going into the postseason so im looking forward to it. The winner will take on the winner of the game between miami and Virginia Tech tomorrow here at the Verizon Center. Im jason pugh, news4 sports. Thanks, jason.
