night. it's already tapering off. visibility is getting better around the philadelphia area as the rain gets lighter. you can see the heaviest of the rain moving through burlington county into ocean county. we still have rain covering a good bit of the area. most of it is on the light side now. especially compared to what we saw a couple of hours ago you can see the yellows and the oranges moving away and in some places very invest light rain or no rain at all. that is the first time we've seen that in a couple of hours. as we look at the wider view we see where the heavy rain is moving. ocean

the locomotive cab after the accident. in separate interviews his co-workers described him as professional, and loving his job. after the crash bostian described going to the hospital in a police van with other crash survivors, in his second interview six months after the derailment he provided more detail but said he didn't know how the train accelerated to 106 miles per hour. he said, quote, my practice is to i gradually then the throttle. i don't slam it open when i'm going slow. he told investigators he remembers traveling 70 miles per hour on a straight stretch of track shortly before the curve. dr. allen ziremski says finding out what happened next is key. >> it takes time and takes acceleration. and it takes a significant amount of acceleration. each an engine as powerful as the train it still takes a significant amount to go from 70 to 106 miles an hour. >> bostian told investigators one of his earliest memories take his cell phone out and calling 911. there have been

the state reportedly broke the law by not treating the watt wer a cheap chemical that could have protected families. the water is now unsafe. residents develop rashes and the future effects for children exposed is uncertain. you see this, the water company brings this to thousands. they have a command center monitoring pressure and quality and they are constantly checking the water in their lab to make sure it is safe. artesian says nation wide our drinking water is generally pretty safe but say when that water gets into our homes pipes and faucets that's where lead can leech into the h 2o. most water companies treat water with a corrosion inhibitor. that didn't happen in flint. >> before you use it let it run for a minute or so. that allows that initial bit to come through and avoid an issue such as any lead that may have leeched in overnight in your plumbing. >> you should also check your water company's quality report and call your local or state health department if you have

warm spot. and we did have some places up to 60 today. and much of the area has a flood watch. now for the rain that happened this afternoon but for wednesday and into thursday, it's combination of the heavy rain plus the warm temperature melting the snow plus the high humidity melting snow when you combine that moisture it may be enough to cause some of the creeks and rivers to go up. so something will have to be watched. you can see the general area moving through, really never really reaching the poconos. which is fine with them to not get rain. they are going to get it wednesday. and patches of a little moderate rain left, but nothing like that heavier rain area that moved through and there are some areas without rain for once. there is a patch near broomall, king of prussia

later in the day, possibly affecting the afternoon rush. and if it comes down that hard for a period of time with all of the melting snow, we could see some flooding as a result of that. we're also going to see some record warmth, philadelphia's record is 62 degrees on wednesday, predicting 66 and in southern delaware going for 70. beating the record by 7 degrees. for the rest of the night
