He also thinks Hazardous Materials should be routed around the district. Sunday morning c. S. X. Says sodium hydroxide is one of the chemicals that leak and has been plugged since. Its a chemical used in household products like soap and detergents according to c. S. X. The council legislated in this area a decade ago saying there could not be Hazardous Materials coming through the district and there would be a strict liability on the railroad and the railroad went to cour said it was a federal issue and won. So we have not been able to assert any local control with regard to the safety or the National Security issue. Diane now Officials Say the water and the air quality has not been impacted in the area so far. Again, no injuries were reported in this. C. S. X. Receased a statement saying in part, though, it does not move certain categories of Hazardous Materials through the district. Northeast d. C. , diane cho, abc7 news. Michelle thanks.

Now we are getting a taste of rain. In the metro area, the next few hours are fine. Go are a lot of rain. We will lay it out. Potential we could get significant rain tonight. The threat of the nasty ugly Severe Weather will miss us to the south. And west. Give you a time lapse from Cardinal Ridge in centreville. 77 right now. Started with a lot of rain. Cloudy skies. In the course of the afternoon, sun came out. Warmed up. 77. Absolutely delightful. What we will find in general is those areas that have the warmest temperatures all day, they will be the areas that have the potential to get heaviest storms tonight. Not so much. Columbia heights where it is 71 or 76 in largo or waldorf. Its the areas farther southwest and west in the low 80s. Some areas in mid80s will get on the heavy downpours tonight. 81 in ashburn now. 81 in dale city. So we are looking at the leading edge of the severe thunderstorm watch up until 10 00 tonight that extends through west virginia, kentucky, carolina. It does not affect our area. We think Th Development will be the areas south and east of us. We will closely monitor this area, Eastern Kentucky and southwestern section of west virginia. This is going to start moving in our direction. We think it will weaken some in terms of severe potential in your area. But later this evening and tonight, 10 00 to 11 00, midnight we could get heavy rain around the area. Something to watch closely for you for the rest of our weather cast this afternoon. Potential is rainfall. Heavy rain that is a possibility. Maybe wind. But rain with the storms as they approach. As a result we will see the heaviest downpours late tonight and into the army overnight hours. We will into the early overnight hours. We will get a break and then isolated thousander tomorrow but in isolated showers tomorrow afternoon and then it will start to rain substantially.

Amy chatter brewing over megacoffee chain starbucks. Im fascinating as it has gone this far already. A joke. Amy is lawsuit claims that starbucks underfill the iced drinks claiming you get less coffee and more ice. A little ridiculous. I feel like you can always ask for amy they advertise a vente iced coffee as 24 hours. The suit claiming that you get less coffee than that. It seems like there is better ways than using the justice system. We checked it out ourselves. First at a starbucks in arlington. We got a measure cup and a strainer. After dumping the drink, we found there is more than two cups of liquid. Then i came to maryland and i bought the same drink. This was over two cups as well. This is ridiculous. People have become petty with these things. Another way to try to make a buck. Amy in a statement starbucks says, we are aware of the plaintiffs claims that we believe to be without merit. They go on to say if a customer is unsatisfied with their drink they will remake it. Amy aubert, abc7 news. Michelle you can always ask for less ice. I dont get it.
