Officials say Long Island Rail Road trains could soon be equipped with cameras.

The Federal Railroad Administration is calling for video cameras to be installed on all trains across the country. 	 	The move comes after a train derailed in the Bronx last month. 	 	The cameras would be used to monitor engineers and record any unsafe behavior. 	 	A proposal for the new plan is expected to be introduced sometime this year.

LIFORECAST

To your weather. Now, we are in storm watch mode for the weekend, but the whole weekend won't be a washout here. No, I'm saying now it's a 5050 weekend. Saturday is the great day. I'm so excited for it. We're going to be in the fifties. So we've got this nice warm start for you guys and even Sunday will be warm. But on Sunday, that's when the stormy weather will get here, it's looking more likely now that we'll see scattered showers kind of on and off through the day.
