The downpours will mostly affect Florida and coastal Georgia. Farther north, the same storm responsible for severe weather much of the past week will linger around the Great Lakes. However, only spotty showers are in the offing from the Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic and New England, along with considerable clouds and cool conditions for early May. A front sagging southward from Canada will bring spotty showers from Montana to Minnesota.

The lat- est in a string of fiery oil- train wrecks brought re- newed demands Thursday that the Obama administra- tion quickly tighten regula- tions governing the burgeon- ing practice of transporting highly combustible crude by rail. With production boom- ing in the Bakken oil field along the U.S. northern tier and in Canada, some experts say stronger rules to head off a catastrophe are long over- due. In the latest crash, a CSX train carrying Bak- ken crude from North Da- kota derailed Wednesday in downtown Lynchburg, sending three tanker cars into the James River and shooting flames and black smoke into the air. No one was injured, but the wreck prompted an evacuation and angered local residents and officials. There have been eight other significant accidents in the U.S. and Canada in the past year involving trains hauling crude, and some of them caused considerable damage and deaths, accord- ing to the National Trans- portation Safety Board. Bak- ken crude ignites more eas- ily than other types. The NTSB and members of Congress have been urg- ing the Transportation De- partment to work swiftly on new standards that would make tanker cars more rug- ged. "Everybody is waiting on them and expecting some significant action," Grady Cothen, a former Federal Railroad Administration official, said after Wednes- day's wreck. "It's a front- and-center concern on the part of everybody in rail transportation." Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has told law- makers that regulators are working as quickly as they can to get tougher tanker car regulations written and approved. But he said some oil com- panies have failed to pro- vide the data he requested, and he complained that the agency within his depart- ment that regulates flam- mable liquids is under- staffed. "We have a million ship- ments of hazardous materi- als moving around this coun- try every day, and we have 50 inspectors," Foxx told The Associated Press re- cently. The cause of the accident is under investigation by the NTSB. CSX said it is cooper- ating fully. NTSB investigator Jim Southworth said the train was going 24 mph in a 25 mph zone at the time. On Thursday, crew used cranes and other heavy equipment to clear the wreck, and workers put a boom around the cars in the water. All the train's cars were carrying crude, and each had a capacity of 30,000 gallons, officials said.
