Around this afternoon in Southern Maryland and the Northern Neck. Ill be walking you through your afternoon forecast hour by hour, and also, i have updates on the snow for tuesday. So, ill have the latest on that all coming up in about ten minutes, richard. See you then, amelia. Just about an hour ago, we learned one person was killed in an earlymorning accident involving a shuttle bus on i95 in lorton. More than a dozen others were taken to area hospitals. News4s derrick ward is live at the scene. At this point, what are you seeing out there, derrick . Reporter well, pretty much whats happening now and ill direct you to look at the road were along 95 just south of lorton road. As you see, there are two state Police Officials up there, documenting this scene and preparing to have repairs made to that section of guardrail where the bus struck that guardrail, rode the guardrail for a few yards, rolled over and ended up in that ravine. Now it was about 3 45 this morning about this accident happened, and according to state police, a witness said this bus was cut off by a white, fourdoor sedan, a car they are looking for. Again, this is southbound i95, just south of lorton road. We are told that there were 16 people on the bus. 15 went to the hospital and one, of course, has died, one of two people who were medevaced away. And again, police are looking for that white fourdoor sedan. Now, this is a limo bus. It can hold up to about maybe 20 people. It doesnt have traditional bus seats, but sort of couch seats along each side. Now it was around dawn when they got that bus up on the right end and got it on a truck and towed it away from here. The scene, indeed, is clear, but of course, you will see those cones put up because you dont have any guardrail here. And it looks like that guardrail did what it was supposed to do, which was slowed that vehicle up for some distance. But at some point, the bus mounted the rail, went over the rail and ended up rolling over into that ravine. So, Virginia State police now are indeed they want to talk to anyone else who may have witnessed this crash, but they certainly do want to find that white sedan that, according to a witness, may have, indeed, caused this crash. We dont have any of the identities of the folks who were involved in this accident. The bus, we are told, was operated by a company outside of mclean that does some government contracting, also does things like wine tours and what have you. We dont know the destination or where it was coming from, again, and we dont know the identity of any of the people who were injured, whether the driver was among the injured. Well have more details as they become available. Right now we are live in lorton, virginia. Derrick ward news4. A lot of new information there. Thanks, derrick.

Reporter no one was hurt, but they did do damage to several vehicles. Witnesses inside the arena for the shriners circus, say they got spooked and busted out the doors.

A slow escape. In that instance. We should note, a lot of those cars were in the parking lot of the venue, and they belonged to the shriners and also the handlers. So, maybe no hard feelings, right . Maybe not. Hard feelings about the weather, though. I know. The springlike weekend we saw is a thing of the past already. Yeah, it was a oneday spring weekend. The other part of our weekend, today, the much colder part, over 20 degrees cooler today. So, we are out and about today. Not only will there be plenty of clouds but a High Temperature of only 49 degrees. A look outside, overcast skies across the area. The National Cathedral here, you can see plenty of clouds around. And today, not just cooler, but most of the workweek will feature belowaverage temperatures. It wont be toward the end of this week on into next weekend when our temperatures start to recover. Theres a chance of some scattered showers around the midday and afternoon hours, mainly south of washington. And im also tracking the threat of snow on tuesday. Talking about the cooler temperatures, its hard to believe our average high this time of year about 60 degrees. It feels like we have been nowhere near that for the most part lately, except for yesterday, of course. But aside from that, we have been cold, and the cold trend continues through thursday. Again, friday and saturday, our temperatures wont be too bad. Slight chance of showers today, mainly around the Northern Neck areas like fredericksburg on into Southern Maryland. So, here we are at noon. Notice this rain down around fredericksburg, charlottesville, maybe even little bit of wet snow mixing in. We continue to see rain make its way through leonardtown, over to the Eastern Shore around 2 00 this afternoon. About a 20 chance those of you in washington are dealing with an afternoon shower. By 4 00, still plenty of clouds across the area, mainly dry. 7 00 p. M. , were cloudy, were dry and were chilly. Temperatures will drop tonight into the 20s. So, it will be a cold start tomorrow morning. Heres a look at the most recent radar. Storm team 4 radar. You can see the immediate d. C. Metro area is dry, but back to the west, around the i81 corridor, some light snow just to the south. As this moves towards the east and temperatures are above freezing, this will change over to mainly rain. But again, we cant rule out some wet flakes mixing in. No accumulation. This is just conversational stuff were dealing with today. Temperature in rockville of 40 degrees. Reston also at 40 degrees right now. Washington at 45. And High Temperatures today only in the upper 40s. Areas like la plata, mechanic mechanicsville, a shower for the afternoon hours. Areas further north like camp springs has a good chance of remaining dry. Alexandria, you could be dealing with a shower or a temperature there of 50 for a high today. Otherwise, clouds hang on strong today. Northern virginia, areas like culpeper, fredericksburg and orange have a better chance of dealing with rain, whereas i think leesburg and manassas will remain dry. For tomorrow, plenty of sunshine, but were still cold. A High Temperature of 43 degrees tomorrow. Tuesday, snow will likely arrive during the midmorning hours, i think around 8 00 a. M. , and then well have the threat of snow throughout the day, maybe mixing with some rain during the afternoon as our temperatures warm to above freezing. Accumulation amounts i think will be minor, maybe 1 to 2 inches. Any snow we get will melt by wednesday. Yeah, so that temperature, were talking above freezing, that stuffs just going to melt as it hits the pavement, right . That should be the general trend, but this year the cold air has always won out. Our last snowstorm, it was snowing when the temperature was 45 degrees. Unreal. Thanks.
