washington. we know ten railcars have overturned and are leaking hazardous materials. this is all happening in the 900 block of rhode island avenue right near the rhode island metro station. the spill was contained to the track bed and what we've found out is that there is no impact on waterways or storm drains or any risk to public health. cleanup, though, this is important, we've learned that it could take more than two days or one to two gadays. red line service is suspended between noma and brookland. they are bringing buses into help out the situation. they don't mean that metro station will be shut down for two to two days, but we'll stay on top of that. and some more moderate rain is about to move into the metro area after we've had generally light rain since late last night. now looking at storm team 4 radar, close-up view showing patches of yellow where it's coming down a little

the metro area. it will be right into the district here in about another 15 minutes or so. and then some more maybe a little bit later on around noontime. then drying out this afternoon. a look at when we'll finally see the sun, that is coming up. now to politics. president obama took as many shots as he could at the presidential candidates at the correspondents continue he. >> and chuck todd joining us live. did he take a shot at you? >> oh, yeah. a big one. no i did a quick little thing in the video. not every day that the leader of the free world says certain words. >> and it was bleeped out. >> i have in order why what he said. i think he said fine job, chuck todd. >> that' what he said. >> watch "meet the press" at 10:30 on channel 4, chuck todd. >> do you think he will miss doing that? because he's pretty good at it. >> he's have good at it. actually, our last three

presidents have all been very good. bush was good. it's something about -- and you wonder is it something that you just sort of -- maybe successful politicians in the modern era develop timing. because what is amazing about all three is how good they were with timing. president obama even with the video with speaker boehner, you gets the look, he can speak without talking. with the way a good actor can. >> and sound effects and everything that goes along with it. >> but i would say best supporting actor to john boehner. >> sure. >> that was good stuff. got to say, that was good stuff, too. >> when they offered him a cigarette, his whole facial expression. >> they have good writers. i'll say that. >> you have to be able to deliver, too. real quick, though, want to talk about then because all eyes are on the state come tuesday. ted cruz, is this this make or break for him? i know he won't say it, but -- >> his actions are saying it. they cld

they got that agreement done. and whether it's a pact that is worth anything, kasich is not campaigning there. he announced a running mate in indianapolis. yes, not getting national buzz, but perhaps local buzz. he has the endorsement of the state's governor. so he is acting as if it's make or break. of course he one of the say it because politicians, they can't make themselves say something definitive anymore. it's obviously a frustration. you'll pick up on that. my frustration in our interview -- but it is. what's the rationale if you lose. how does he keep going forward. >> and the fiorina to me didn't -- i know that's a strategy that reagan had used, but -- >> but the reagan strategy in ' '76, it was with a specific goal in mind. getting delegates. he picked a senator from pennsylvania because the delegates, most up bound delegates that he could find were pennsylvania delegates. so the problem with the carly

good one in a general election, may make a lot of sense in october. did he get the delegates? what state does she help him win between now and june 7 and how many delegates can she bring to him. hub would have brought 150. john kasich would have probably 120. those would have made more sense in this moment of need. >> talking about bernie sanders who was actually at the dinner last night, a lot of jokes made about him will and he's such a good sport about it, but we know that he's dialed back his campaign. first sign of an exit strategy? >> i would say a wind down strategy. i think he's going to go through to june 14 thanks to the district of columbia voting a week after all the other primaries on june 7. but i think it's a tone down of the rhetoric. he might win indiana on tuesday. the problem is if he wins he will win it by three points and he won't make a delegateim

he know it is. so how does he reconcile with clinton. that to me is going to be what we have to follow the next six weeks. how does clinton get him on board with her campaign. and i'll have john brennan, director of the cia. five years today of the bin laden raid. >> it was on a sunday. >> on a sunday, too. there is the president laughing it up at the dinner and literally within six hours, he's giving the final go-add to this raid th that capped off probably the five strangest days in the obama preside presidency. but we talk about the threats in europe, rise of isis. how it was missed. and, boy, do we get in to saudi arabia and this issue of do we release these redacted pages. >> a lot of ground to cover. and you can se

every sunday right here on nbc 4. receipts let's turn our att the weather. it's soggy out there. need the umbrella all day? >> not all day. it looks like it will taper off and getting questions about what about the game in baltimore for the orioles. it looks like there may be a little bit of drizzle. p they play in that. between now and then, moderate showers coming through. the pockets of yellow is where it's coming down pretty hard generally from richmond down to north carolina. that is going to pass just south and east of the metro area. and we're getting one pocket of moderate rain, this area in yellow now just coming into central fairfax county, and that will be tracking right across falls church and then come inside the beltway through mclean and then get arlington and then right into the district here just in the next ten minutes or so, it will be rolling right on through. and there is still quite a chill in the air. we're just in the 50s from the

chesapeake bay. here is the timing on the showers coming through. there is that one wave this morning. and then as we go across the eastern shore by 2:00, 3:00, beginning to pull away. and the round of showers and thunderstorms coming in this this evening by 9:00, coming into the shenandoah valley, panhandle of west virginia. and between 10:00 and midnight rolling right through the metro area, heavy downpours with thunder and lightning, and then it moves east of the bay after that by dawn tomorrow, just clouds around the hour by hour forecast, we stay in the 50s through the afternoon and this evening as we get the showers and thundershowers coming on through. and then they'near 80 tomorrow afternoon. maybe more showers tuesday and again wednesday and thursday. recapping, csx train has derailed. at least ten cars have gone off the tracks. hazmat teams working to contain that situation. no evacuations have
