at 6:00 this morning, we have a lovely view of the sky. beautiful out there this morning. thank you for waking up with fox 5 morning news. i'm sarah simmons. >> thank you for being with us this morning. talking about the flood waters and the mississippi and its tributaries submerging streets and homes across the delta region. the mississippi governor urging people to leave even if they think there is just a chance that their home will flood. many of the victims already don't have much. nine of the eleven counties that line the mississippi river in mississippi have poverty rates that are at least double the national average. very tough situation down south now. bracing for more all the way to new orleans. >> will be a mess. >> and it will go on if a while t will take a couple of weeks for the waters to subside. >> then the clean-up -- it will take months. >> it has been a difficult spring across portions of the country, that is certainly true. here in our area, thankfully, we have another nice day today. you saw the live shot as the sun came up. let's take a look at the bus stop forecast as you get the kids ready for school. we have some clouds out there. this says sunny skies but there are some clouds out there along with that sunshine. temperatures in the mid-50s for the most part. right now, at reagan national, we are getting a temperature of 54 degrees. relative humidity, 90%. winds are calm. forecast for today, we'll see a good a sunshine during the course of the day today, look if highs again into the 70s. 75 in washington. 75 in winchester and 73 in annapolis. we'll have more on the weather coming up in just a little bit. let's check with julie and get a look at traffic this morning. >> we'll say good porning to the crew in sky fox. they are checking out your ride along the baltimore-washington parkway. as you travel southbound out of laurel making your way past 197, you will find the lanes are open continuing down past the capital beltway. northbound looks good if you have a trip out of bwi this morning. no problems to report there. let's continue with the maps so can you update your ride elsewhere. if you are traveling along 210, that is where we have the crash at swan creek road. once you work your way past the scene, the pace improves up onto 295. outer loop of the beltway at colesville road starting to slow just a bit through silver spring. no incidents to report and that change in our traffic pattern coming across the 14th street bridge. here is the barrier right here in the center. you can see it flashing just a little bit. take two lanes to the left and two lanes to the right. four lanes maintained coming across the bridge. it is split in the middle as you work your way across the potomac. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. we continue to follow breaking news from prince george's county this morning. a 7-eleven store clerk has been shot and killed during a robbery. this happened at the store in the 9200 block of oxon hill road around 3:30 this morning. detectives are still on the scene. no word at the moment about any suspects. we do have a crew there. we'll bring you more information as soon as we get an update. another big story that we're following. the fight to d.c. rights taking center stage on capitol hill today. >> mayor vincent gray and council chairman kwame brown are set to testify before a house subcommittee about the budget. some are concerned questions about d.c.'s recent string of scandals may be coming up. congresswoman eleanor holmes norton says she is worried the committee might ask chairman brown about his controversial suv and ask mayor gray about the sulaimon brown investigation. >> i think they probably won't be able to resist but they claim that is not what they are interestedded in. let's see whether they stick to what the subject matter of the hearing is and that is making sure the district is doing well fiscally. many are concerned today's hearing could be a step towards congress gaining more control over the district. just yesterday, eight district residents were arrested while rallying for equal voting rights. also on the hill today, top executives from the nation's five biggest oil company will go before a senate committee. they will likely get an earful about earning massive profits while americans struggle with high gas prices. democrats are pushing to get rid of big tax breaks the oil companies enjoy. those tax breaks average about $2 billion every year. d.c.'s attorney general investigating the region's largest owner of gas stations for possible antitrust violations. attorney general irvin nathan says he is looking into allegations that capitol petroleum group was engaging in practices that could be leading to inflated gas prices. the company is based in springfield, virginia and operates 164 gas stations in the tease area. drivers in the meantime continue to deal with the pain at the pump. according to aaa, the average price if a gallon of regular gas in d.c. is now up to $4.21. maryland now over the $4 mark to $4.04 and virginia just shy of $4 a gallon at $3.90. some other top stories we are following this morning, the battle over the national deficit. president obama says lawmakers may have to rely on automatic spending cuts and tax increases in order to reach a deal on deficit reduction. both republicans and democrats agree something needs to be done to reduce the growing deficit but are at odds over how to do it. house republicans announce plans to cut $30 bill wrong from day to day budgets of cabinet agencies. gop leaders have also proposed restructuring medicare and medicaid and are calling for trillions of dollars in cuts. democrats have proposed raising taxes on those making $200,000 or more and wanted an end to tax subsidies for big oil companies. that issue will be taken up on the hill today. >> the american people do not favor more taxation. we need to establish that we can contain spending and will do so before we ask them to give any more to washington. >> we totally reject their approach of saying we're going to do it by ending the medicare guarantee. >> congress has until august to increase the $14 trillion debt ceiling. we're finding out more about what was discovered in osama bin laden's compound. officials say the terrorist leader kept a journal. that journal and other documents detail directives for planning future attacks and provide proof that bin laden was still very much involved in running al-qaeda. among his orders, consider tax smaller cities, not just high profile targets like new york city. president obama has said the white house will not release photos of osama bin laden's body. >> however, a select few will have access to those images and we'll tell you who coming up next. also ahead, back-to-back earthquakes strike spain killing at least 10 people. we'll have the latest on the scene there this morning when we return. somewhere in america, a city comes to life. it moves effortlessly, breathes easily. it flows with clean water. it makes its skyline greener and its population healthier. all to become the kind of city people want to live and work in. somewhere in america, we've already answered some of the nation's toughest questions. and the over sixty thousand people of siemens are ready to do it again. siemens. answers. two back-to-back earthquakes killed eight people in spain. they were not very powerful. the first measuring 4.4 and the second two hours later was a 5.2. you can see some of the damage. major damage to buildings. spain usually doesn't get this type of earthquake. the last earthquake this strong there, more than 50 years ago. president obama is getting ready to make a key speech for the muslim world next squeak. a group of senators pushing him to speak out about the brutal crackdown that is going on in syria. they are using a resolution in the senate calling for tougher u.s. action. u.s. lists four countries as state sponsors of terrorism. several people will get to seat photos of bin laden's body. cia is granting access to the house and senate intelligence committees and armed services committee. they will only be available for viewing at cia headquarters in lackly. coming up next, more tsa outrage. why a baby was subjected to a security patdown. we are checking in with tony for your forecast. a little rain heading our way just in time for the weekend. looks beautiful out there now. get out and enjoy it. take a look at. this that little youngster right there get a full patdown from tsa, a security patdown at kansas city international airport. apparently the baby's stroller set it off. a fellow passenger took the picture and we ?ashed it off the internet. >> you can see the tsa agents are smiling and it looks like they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. >> this was a threat out there that they could potentially do things with children as well. it is kind of awkward. let's take a look at our weather. >> let's start with the pollen count. we'll get you informed as to what is going on out there. it is the tree pollen again. that is the culprit. the number is much lower than it has been but it is still in the high range. i don't make these things up. that is how it is. 327 for trees. grasses are moderate. mold is still low. not just here but we'll broaden this and show you temperatures around the country. 54degrees in the nation's capital. 60s not too far out for the south and west. 73 right now in st. louis. del rio, texas, 77 degrees. denver, colorado, 35 degrees at this hour. cold start to the day there. here is a look at the satellite- radar for the region. we do have some clouds out there this morning but they will be breaking up during the course of the morning, of course. and we will see more in the way of sunshine. but reagan national reporting mostly cloudy skies now. still quiet conditions across most of the eastern united states. an area of low pressure out to the west will gradually work its way in here but it won't be today. could be a few stray showers overnight tonight into tomorrow and then a better chance of rain develops late friday night into saturday. for today though, here is what the forecast looks like. morning clouds will give way to mostly sunny skies. another warm one, high about 75 degrees today. that will be pretty good. for tonight, an overnight low of about 06 degrees in town, 50sout side of ght chance for a overnight. five-day forecast, tomorrow, not bad but the clouds do start to build in and we could see a shower or two here or there. the best chance of that is really super late friday night into saturday and saturday we do have i would say a 60% or so chance of showers and thunderstorms at this point. i would say a better chance saturday night into sunday and then continuing threat of showers and thunderstorms on sunday. now, here is julie wright with an update on traffic. >> reporter: off of twitter, people are telling me not only do we have an accident traveling northbound along 210 approaching swan creek road but in the backup, there is also a stalled car. the accident activity is tying up the two right lanes. just before the accident scene, we are receiving word of a disabled vehicle tying up the late side. delays are forming back at farmington road. southbound 270 below speed mere in germantown headed south towards mva. no incidents, just volume delays. the outer loop slowing between university boulevard and colesville road. we all have some delays now at the beltway headed past duke street. boundary channel drive across the 14th street bridge where the overnight change in our traffic pattern has occurred. that is where they have the barrier set up here. you can see it flashing. it pushes two lanes on the left, two lanes to the right crossing over the potomac. what is important to make note of is if you are coming across the 14th street bridge, and you want to head eastbound on the freeway towards south capital street, you want it line up in the two right lanes. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >> thank you. fox 5 continues to monitor metro with a new study from the brookings institution that ranks transit systems in 100 major cities. the d.c. region took the 17th spot.

will you and san jose. new york was ranked 13th. some trouble with smart trip cards for metrobus riders. we have heard from at least one passenger would told us he loaded fare onto his card but it didn't work. apparently, a larger problem mostly affecting customers in the silver spring area. according to the "washington post," metro says there is likely a software problem and it may be several weeks before it is fixed. if you see something wrong on metro, we want to know about it. send your news tips or your pictures or video to fox 5 metro at gmail.com. our business beat is next. we'll

oil refiners -- associated with commodities and oil companies, they all sank and so did the dow. i would like to tell thought arrows are green this morning but they're not. dow few you ares are lower by 70. >> we are not seeing this reflected at the gas pump. >> this is an interesting story. because of the high price at the pump, demand is actually cooling off. the energy department reported that demand for gasoline was the lowest in seven weeks. it fell last week and supply out there is plentiful for both crude oil and for gasoline. there is typically a lag in the price of oil and the price of gasoline once it is refinded. f i nd -- refined. it has been a very volatile market the last two weeks. we have aseep huge fluking with -- huge fluctuations in the price of oil. we have on cavuto

thinking it. >> i mean yeah, i think i would like to know 5 days out. i think it would be kind of cool. >> who wouldn't? >> we'll discuss. >> and the powerball number too while you're at it. on the roads, you will fine the crew in sky fox hovering above southern maryland. they are checking out the ride along northbound 210. we mentioned there was not only a disabled vehicle but an accident

the meantime, the top executives from the nation's five biggest oil companies will object capitol hill today where they will go before a senate committee and most likely will get an earful about

would remember him. >> now, he has to step it up and get them to come in here when they come in town. >> well, there you go. >> all right. you want to know what is going on in the weather? >> why not? >> the weather looks fantastic in nice but we'll have our own nice weather here as well. not a bad start to the day. we are used to the routine now as it has been this way all week long. temperatures in the 50s. we have a current temperature of 54 degrees in washington. 54 in gaithersburg. baltimore, 51. fredericksburg, 55. cambridge is at 45. winchester is at 55. now, i want to take a look into the few if you are -- into the future. it is our futurecast. today, not bad. a couple of clouds coming through during the afternoon hours. there is a little frontal boundary out to the west. that could bring some showers to us. high pressure moves out. for the most part tomorrow, we're fine. we just get the clouds building in maybe a shower late but a better chance of rain showers around here on saturday. if you've got morning outdoor events, you might get those in but then in the afternoon, we'll get the rain and thunderstorms on saturday. mostly sunny today. warm this afternoon, high about 75 degrees. same routine. we'll take it. tonight being becoming cloudy. slight chance for a shower late tonight. 60degrees. probably overnight if we see it at all. then for your five-day forecast tomorrow, as i said, clouds build in. 72degrees. i think any rain holds off until friday night is what i believe thank you point. we'll wasn't ad see -- we'll wait and see how that develops. saturday and sunday, both bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms. there will be some periods of showers and thunderstorms moving through. there you go. that is the latest on the weather. now, it is time to ask the weather guys. it is the segment where tucker barnes and i work very hard to answer your most pressing questions weather-related or otherwise. let me say this. we have currently in the bin hundreds of questions. we are doing our best to get through as many as we can. it will take a while though. today's question comes from alicia in rockville. she writes, you normally give also five-day forecast but i'm wondering how far into the future can you determine what the weather will be? could it ever be weeks or months? good question. i'll the let tucker handle this one. generally speaking and this probably goes without saying, the further out you try to forecast, the less accurate you are going to be. >> it who be difficult. >> yeah. we like the five-day forecast because we feel like we've got a good hand handle on that. these seven and nine day or longer forecasts we see, they're just making stuff up. tucker there are reasons for this. tucker actually has some in- depth insight into this. >> i do? >> don't you? >> i like to think i do. as much as we take pride in our work, the truth of the matter is we can't accurately give you a forecast much more than about five days out. let me just -- i'm trying to think about the right ray wei to put this. here is the deal. i can't tell you whether it will rain or snow. i can give you what the temperature trend will be like several week out. looking towards the end of next week into the next weekend and the following week, temperature are likely to be well above normal. i can tell you that with some accuracy. i can't tell you whether or not it will rain saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. right now or saturday afternoon at 2:00. so we can get parts of the forecast right well in advance. but other parts, there are a lot of question marks. >> and there are trends. for example, we have models. it is very funny. you all know this because you are here. during the wintertime, tucker gets very excited about the models and he will say look at this, look at this and it is for like two weeks out. we're going to get hammered with snow and i always say to him talk to me two days before. some of the models do a fairly good job. it who be irresponsible to come out and say two week from now, it will relate lay snow like crazy. there are certain trends that we can tell. >> another big hint we get in the world of weather, we can look back at past seasons. i can look back at the past 10 years on may 12th and tell you swat weather was like. i can have a pretty good sense of what the weather will likely be like. it gets into a lot of deep thoughts about butterfly effect, real simply, that is the idea that a butt are fly flapping its wings in arizona will affect the weather in washington four days later. it is just impossible. the system is too complicated for any one person or group of people even to be able to forecast too far in advance. >> generally speaking, i do want to let you know we don't tend to use butt are flies. >> i was going to say where it that come from? >> there is a better chance that say a seven or nine-day forecast who be highlien accurate. >> i wouldn't even pay attention. five-day forecast is what you want. >> can you put your guarantee on it? >> as much as i can. >> a five-day is good. a seven or nine-day is bad. >> if you see this somewhere, it is being made up. if you have a question you want answered, go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tab. we will answer it for you. >> i guarantee you all that julie wright heard about was tuck are saying but
