thanks so much for that, karen maginnis. long day for you. >>> new video just into cnn from the collision of two freight trains in missouri. one train then smashed into a pillar supporting a highway overpass, causing its collapse. two cars then drove off the edge in the dark. in all, seven people injured, one hospitalized. ntsb, national transportation safety board, sent a team to investigate that accident. >>> new developments tonight from london after this week's murder of a british soldier. police made three arrests, and we're learning new details about the past of one of the prime suspects. sources in kenya say he traveled there in 2010 and was arrested for trying to cross the border into somalia. that area has seen attacks by islamic militants in the past several years. no charges filed against him according to kenyan media. it is not clear whether he may have traveled to the region on more than one occasion. france defense minister says a soldier stabbed was targeted because he was in the military. the attacker fled th

let's ask meteorologist karen maginnis how long this will stick around. e are getting nice weather. some maybe not. >> we have entered a fairly quiet period, but, as you know, always a little hiccup and we start the morning out in new york and boston. maybe a few little showers here and there and it will move out. temperatures warming up fairly nicely. it will be in the 60s. 66 degrees expected for new york and showers will move through, as i mention, fairly early. you get kind of that dreary overcast look as you start the day out. denver 77 and seattle, i point out seattle because the winter was horrible, gray, overcast. the typical things you think about seattle. that's how it was. but, exceptionally so. and temperatures yesterday 80 degrees. the day before it was 84 degrees. those were record high temperatures. well, we move back to the east, area of low pressure moves away, moves across southern canada. takes that cold front along with it. on the back side of this, it's going to start to fill in. so, that cold air, exceptionally cold for this time of y

and karen maginnis has been following this very closely. good morning to you, karen. are things looking there now? >> we are expecting a round of rainfall. but let me qualify this. and that is we're watching this cluster of showers and a few thunderstorms making its way along interstate 10. it is been holding together fairly well. maybe just weakening just a little bit on this eastern edge, but we expect within the next hour it is going to trek its way across interstate 10 across san antonio. you may see some brief heavy rainfall or moderate rainfall, but i think in the overall picture we're not looking at anything that is going to make things worse as far as flooding goes. there's already a flood watch as well as a flood warning all around the san antonio metro area. so watch out for that. the rainfall totals are expected to be maybe an inch, possibly two inches. that's the worst case scenario. this is coming out of the west. yesterday, that eight to ten inches of rainfall was fueled by moisture that was coming in from the southeast from the gulf of mexico. so that b

meteorologist karen maginnis, looking good for mom? >> for the most part, it does.have little hiccups as an area of low pressure treks across the northeast and new england and as it does, in its wake we'll see showers for new york and boston and that will move out fairly quickly. behind this area of low pressure, this cold air will be located and temperatures chilly than they should be for this time of year. well, most of the midwest and the great lakes will see readings about five to ten degrees cooler than where they should be and snowfall has occurred across the great lakes and that video that we saw out of winnipeg, they saw 50-mile-per-hour winds and the wind pushed the ice on those homes. essentially gobbled up by the ice and they were saying the ice was about 30 feet high in some areas. all right, over the last several days, exceptional hot temperatures across the pacific northwest, but seattle, no, not today. your temperatures have been in the 80s the last several days. today, a high of only 66 degrees. but we will see the threat of freezing temperatures all

but right now i want to bring in our karen maginnis in the cnn severe weather center. good morning, karen. tell us how it looks today because i know yesterday you were telling us you were seeing that record level for the river. >> yes. and we did. we saw lots of records yesterday. poppy, something has changed between the last time that we spoke and now, and that is a cluster of thunderstorms has moved out of west, texas san angelo and is making its way towards san antonio, and what we're expecting over the next several hours is that this activity will start to move on in towards san antonio. as it does, we may see brief but heavy rainfall here. to the tune of one or two inches of rainfall. now, this is not going to do any more damage than is already there. we've seen the worst of it. a lot of the floodwaters have rece receded. some have not, we understand that, but here we go, looking at this cluster along interstate 10. san antonio, i think it will be in the next one to two house, you'll be right on the edge of that precipitation expected to move through the region. it

. >>> hello, everyone, i am meteorologist karen maginnis.you are looking at are live pictures coming out of san antonio. there have been numerous reports of water rescues taking place here and as you can see very swollen rivers and this is inundated it looks like that may be a shopping mall, but we had reports of as much as ten inches of rainfall. that is a one day total reported. that is rivaling the flooding we saw back in 1998 that killed dozens of people. already one fatality reported and we are looking at most of that rainfall in the corridor from interstate 37 to interstate 10 to interstate 35 on the eastern edge of san antonio. so the bulk of the precipitation has ended. there was a water rescue earlier and we'll show you that. there were people in a rescue boat. they were looking for this gentleman sitting on this roof of his home or perhaps secondary building, and they did successfully rescue him. there was a wait. they were trying to navigate through the dangerous flood waters, and they are saying now that there is a flash flood em

karen maginnis is in the weather center and this flash flooding coming as a result of a whole lot ofrlier, right. >> this is a one-day event. back in 1998 it was several days. some areas picked up about 22 inches of rain. there is a comparison between these two. this ten plus inches of rainfall around san antonio, this happened just today. it has set a daily rainfall total. want to show you one of the broader pictures. why did this happen? all of this moisture being attacked from the gulf of mexico and this was essentially training, meaning one cell would move over and then another one and i am sure it was frightening for people to see this volume of rainfall and currently there is a flash flood emergency. the one fatality that we have reported so far, a woman, who was found in the flood waters and her abandoned car. they say don't drown, turn around. that's what you need to do. what do we expect for san antonio as we go through the afternoon and evening hours? this is already tapering off. already this has been severe. earlier we did see some rescue operations. numerous rescues, wat

let's bring in karen maginnis to look at the holiday forecast. what's ahead?just about everyone will see a little bit of everything. right now we're watching out for flooding that is taking place right around the san antonio area especially along interstate 410. that's the perimeter around san antonio. they are saying that the rivers there are really going to be running out of their banks by several feet. there have been localized flooding reported there. 8 to 9 inches of rainfall. about 8.5 at the international airport there. and so it looks like the rainfall may last the next several hours. this could be a 10-inch rainfall. that is going to be fairly significant. in the meantime, snowfall across interior sections of the northeast. bet you didn't expect that for late may weather. now, that's the higher peaks. not a lot of snow but there's snow. and then we move across the central plains and from omaha to des moines also some pretty big thunderstorms rumbling around there. a risk for severe weather today. i say severe. high winds and it looks like large hail a

. >>> karen maginnis, how is our mother's day weather looking?et except in the northeast we start the morning out with some showers as a frontal system sweeps through. on the backside of this enough cold air that we did see some snowfall yesterday. over two inches of snow. it will start to warm up across the central united states with temperatures by monday and tuesday in the 90s. until then, seattle, 66. los angeles, 86. brianna. >> thank you, karen. and thank you so much to all of you for watching today. "state of the union with candy crowley" starts right now. >>> double trouble for the administration, benghazi and the irs. today, the irs admits its agents targeted tea party groups for extra scrutiny. >> i don't think you accidentally focus on the tea party, but it wouldn't be the first time the irs has been used for political purposes. >> our sunday exclusive with republican susan collins. >> the irs has done everything possible to deny access to the information that would outline the truth. >> before, after and during the attack thomas picke

karen maginnis with more on that.remarkable record that broke one that took many days to set. this one just took one. >> it does. this is less than a 24 hour time period, about 12, maybe 14 hours and this morning we saw a record rainfall amount at 3:00 this morning in san antonio. they already had three inches of rain and have seen close to ten inches and it looks like the train of moisture is going to continue but i don't think you will see the volume of rain that we have seen in the past 12 hours or so. it will be there. it will start to shut down going tomorrow morning. now, having said that, look at what happened. i know this doesn't look very interesting. essentially this tells us a lot. look how the river here, the san antonio river just spiked out of nowhere. it jumped up to a record 34 feet plus. the old record was at 32. you may have seen those pictures of the person being rescued off of the golf course. right to the side of your screen you can see live pictures coming out of san antonio from our affiliate ks

meteorologist karen maginnis is in the weather center with today's forecast. ou, it has taken a dip here in the temperatures in cleveland. we're expecting colder air, too. >> it may be record setting cold that we see across the midwest into the great lakes. but the big storms rumbling along the coastal regions of texas and also into ohio. into louisiana. ohio is picking up some showers all along the eastern seaboard. this is where we are watching a frontal system move through. as it moves through, that colder air is going to dip towards the south. but along the gulf coast regions from galveston into the hill country of texas, they saw large-size hail, very heavy downpours and in some instances as much as eight inches of rainfall. low ceilings of visibility are producing delays at jfk and philadelphia and in newark. up to hour and a half delays being reported there. if you're watching us because of the reduced visibility maybe sitting at another airport, but they're not going to jfk because visibility is so low. back-to-back frontal systems, this one a little sl

i want to bring in meteorologist karen maginnis to talk to us about what's going on there.rous situation and remarkable in just how quickly the situation developed over the last several hours. this is a water vapor imagery. i want to point out this region right here. this is where they are seeing the brunt of the storm training thunderstorms meaning one develops right after the other. this is an area where some folks may see record setting levels but already a record has been set right around the san antonio area at the international airport. they are closing in on 10 inches of rainfall. i want to show you something. you may not find this that interesting to look at but it gives us interesting information. follow this line right here. this is where the san antonio river set a record. it is now right here. it is an all-time record high. look at what happened. we go from the early morning hours in this river level just went straight up almost vertically. i don't know that i've ever seen a situation like that. it is very intense right now. we're taking a live look out of our a
