Opposite. how cheery is that? not cheery enough. ruth marcus and chris cillizza, thank you both very much. and this terrible accident in ottawa, canada. six people are dead. a passenger train collided with a double decker bus during the peak of rush shower. passengers were yelling at the driver to stop just before impact. several passengers on both the commuter train and the bus were injured in this crash. has it s ups and downs.
During the peak of the rush shower. so it will be a difficult morning. this is how much our computers are projecting. this is a significant rain event. we have flood watches up for areas of new jersey, upwards of three inches of rain in the next 24 to 48 hours. so that s a good chunk of rain in a short period of time. not quite as much up in northern new england. d.c. you can expect an inch to two inches over the next 48 hours. so there is your forecast today. not like yesterday where it was just showery and then we saw a lot of drizzle. today we ll see downpours and maybe even thunder and lightning. i would not count on any sunshine today or tomorrow. there is your wednesday forecast throughout the region. and this extends back to buffalo and pittsburgh. this isn t just along the coast. we re okay in the middle of the country and much of the southeast is okay, too. but it s stormy in the east. all right, bill, thanks.
