Well have more sunshine than weve seen in the last couple of days. So it should be fairly nice looking out the window. Still on the cold side. Highs only about 40, maybe 42. Lets go right to radar. Weve had a few light showers and sprinkles overnight south and east. Youre getting it across the bay down towards cambridge and ocean city. Im looking at the last 15 minutes or so, looks like the last of it has exited to the east. So quiet conditions area wide here. Cloud cover, it is hanging tough for parts of the area, but we should see a gradually clearing trend during the Morning Hours and be mostly sunny by afternoon. Therell be a bit of a breeze, as mentioned, a cold front has come through and weve got some colder temperatures on the way for the next couple of days. Current temperature at Reagan National 36 degrees. 34 out at dulles, bwi marshall 33 degrees. So temperatures currently hanging out in the mid30s in parts of the region, particularly north and west were at or below freezing your there you go. Not a bad looking day. Plenty of sunshine, highs in the low 40s. Well be cold tonight but we will be dry and be dry the next couple of days. Well have details on that coming up in the next couple of minutes. Tucker, thanks. Time now to get over to julie wright and see whats happening with the commute. Reporter smooth sailing back to work just came to an end. Here we are live inbound on the dulles toll road before you reach route 7, two left lanes squeezing by at the scene of this crash. Delays are starting to form now as you guys work your way inbound this morning. Head up coming from hunterville road past wolf trap, past the capitol beltway. Two lanes squeezing by. Already lanes are volume building headed for the capitol beltway. Lets continue now with the cameras and show you what else is happening on the roads. 395 looks good leaving the beltway to the 14th street bridge. Well pull that up in just a second.

Heres a live shot of traffic coming across the 14th street bridge. Nice and easy across the potomac headed toward the southwest freeway. Thats a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. Now to a news alert for you this morning, the house has approved a last minute deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. The bill was approved late last night in a vote of 257167. Fox 5s melany alwick is live on capitol hill this morning with the very latest. And, melanie, even though a deal has been reached at this point, clearly Congress Still has a lot of work ahead of them, right . Reporter absolutely, wisdom. What we saw here on capitol hill over these last few weeks just to get the fiscal cliff bill passed is just one battle in this big fiscal war where compromises are really hard to reach, even in moments of crisis. It was literally the 11th hour, after 11 00 at night when House Speaker john boehner finally put the senate plan up for a vote. As i said 267157 with mostly democratic support. Republicans voted against it almost 21. For Pompano Beach of the day House Republicans for most of the day the House Republicans debated on spending cuts. Senate leaders warned that would blow apart the entire deal. The deal does mean taxes will only go up on americans making 400,000 or couples making 450s. These fewer people than president obama initially wanted. It also extends longterm Unemployment Benefits, fixes the alternative minimum tax and prevents a spike in dairy prices. It delays the 109 billion in automatic spending cuts for just two months. Now, those cuts are the result of congress naibility to agree on inability to agree on deficit reduction measures the last time the debt ceiling had to be increased, that was just five months ago. President obama last night warned republicans not to hold the government hostage over the debt ceiling again. We cant not pay bills that weve already incurred. If congress refuses to give the United States government the ability to pay these bills on time, the consequences for the entire Global Economy would be catastrophic, far worse than the impact of a fiscal cliff. Reporter now, the u. S. Went over its debt limit of 16. 4 trillion debt limit on monday. Yesterday treasury secretary Timothy Geithner sent a letter to congress telling them that the treasury has begun to take extraordinary measures to keep paying its debts but warned that those measures will run out on february 28th. Wisdom and sarah. All right, melany, thank you. After days of dealing with fiscal cliff negotiations, president obama will return to hawaii to finish his vacation. The president left last night and the obamas began their annual endoftheyear vacation back on december 21st, but the president , of course, forced to return to the white house last week for fiscal cliff talks. The obama family returns to the white house this weekend. Well, one piece of business the house failed to act on in a bill to help the victims of superstorm sandy. That particular move has left some new York Lawmakers furious with their fellow colleagues for failing to take action. I truly feel betrayed this evening. Ive left this floor i left this floor with an understanding that this bill was going to be brought to the floor. One of congress most basic responsibilities is to help families, communities, businesses recover. And now i have to go home and tell them their new years gift is that theyre going to wait even longer, even longer for something they should have had over a month ago. The bill calls for more than 60 billion to be directed to the relief effort. And it already passed the senate, but now the house must way wait for the new congress to be sworn in before any further action can be taken. The d. C. Council is set to begin its new session today by officially welcoming its newest member. David grasso, an independent won the atlarge council seat back in november. He has said education and Ethics Reform will be his priorities. Five incumbent councilmembers will also be sworn in to new terms today.

Sandy hook Elementary Students and teachers prepare to return to school.

I havent seen you since last year. Reporter oh, yes, its been a while. Good morning. Happy new year to you. Happy new year. Lets talk about how the markets did respond to this news. Reporter brace yourself, wisdom, i have so much good news for you, i dont think youre going to be able to contain yourself. So monday, that was our last day of the old year. It was the best last day in history. Dow up 166 points, up more than 7 for 2012. Thats behind us now. But as january goes, so goes the year. Guess what the dow is up right now, 185 points. We are going to have a big bounce at the open on this first trading day of 2013, and the reason is that the fiscal cliff deal has been made, for the most part. We do still have some problems ahead, but many investors definitely breathing a sigh of relief, not just here in the u. S. , but around the world. That is some good news to start off the new year. So were glad to hear about that. Reporter yeah. Lets talk about some of the things that could be going up in price in 2013. Reporter yeah. This is the fotsogood news, but if you expected to save money, everyone makes a new years resolution to save money, right . You might be a little bit disappointed this year. So healthcare premiums will go up by an average of 6 . Food expected to go up by as much as 4 . Electronics like high end tvs, theyre going to hit record prices. Smart phones at tmobile are going to lose their subsidize, so theyre going to cost perhaps full price, some cars like certain luxury lexus models because of upgraded engines, theyre going up. And finally, and this is a a big one, copper prices are going up. But that affects everything copper is used in, your pots and pans, your home water pipes, and your beer can because much of the brewing equipment is used for beer, copper is used in. A lot of things are going up. Thats not good, you cant watch tv, its going to be phones i mean, phone, food, beer . I mean, thats bad news. Reporter i know. I gave you a pretty broad sector of the economy that we use everyday. We started with good news today. Thats good. Well just hang onto the good news. Lauren simonetti, good to see you, have a good day. Coming up on fox 5 morning news, a big sigh of relief this morning for millions of americans. Thats because late last night the house finally reached a deal to avert the fiscal cliff. But its what condepress failed to do that still has some people up in arms today. Also ahead, weve got the morning line. Dave ross joins us to talk about the redskins as we inch closer to the playoff matchup against the seahawks and another rookie quarterback. Were back in a moment. back now on fox 5 morning news. As most of us head back to work today, president obama is trying to salvage a few more days of holiday vacation. Shortly after addressing the nation last night following the fiscal cliff vote, the president boarded air force one to head back to hawaii. Mr. Obama will rejoin his wife and daughters before the first family returns to d. C. This coming weekend. Not like hawaii here now, thats for sure. Thats a lot of frequent flyer miles. Yeah. He sure was. Locally, hey, we look fieb around here today. Not going to be hawaii weather. Our high is only going to be about 40 or so. But we should see more sunshine than weve seen in the last couple of days. So getting better. And the good part is well be nice and dry later today, not expecting any rain and or snow anytime soon. The pattern nice and dry. Good. Lets get to satellite and radar, take a look at whats happening. Here we go, cloud cover continues across the region. One or two sprinkles south and east of town down towards ocean city early. You can see that slipping out to sea. And if you look carefully, were starting to get some breaks in the clouds. And after some Morning Cloudiness, we should gradually turn mostly sunny by afternoon. It is going to be on the chilly side. Right now the temperature at Reagan National 36 degrees, as we switch maps, magically, there we go, 36 at Reagan National. Look how cold it is to our north. New york city 22. Binghamton 10. 15 in columbus. Theres a lot of very cold air just north and west, and that will continue to work in here over the next couple days. In fact, for the remainder of the week here our temperatures are going to actually trend a little below average for early january. 41 today, becoming sunny, cool afternoon. Should be dry for you. Winds north and west at five to 10. Coming up in a couple of minutes ask tony and tucker. Tony is back with a few questions. Football related, of course. I knew it. Just for him. Weve had a lot of football questions and we figure this week we might as well get them in. Thats a good idea. Lets check in with julie right now. Reporter all right, you guys, we got troubles again this morning on thed of town. Earlier the accident was inbound on the toll road before route 7 and that has cleared. This is eastbound 66 before you commit to the capitol beltway. The accident activity was tying up that left h. O. V. Lane, plus the shoulder. Now you can see the activity is still here along the left side of the road. Heads up as you guys travel inbound this morning. Again, it is the left lane thats going to be blocked, and, of course, the shoulder with fire and rescue units still on the scene. Overall 66 is backing up through manassas and centreville, and, again, leaving fair oaks headed eastbound all the way in towards the capitol beltway. So a slow start on the west side of town. A crash on the eastbound dulles toll road before route 7 has cleared. Thanks, chopper brad. Well show you the maps and show you what else is happening on the roads. For those continuing northbound along route 5, beantown road before you reach pinefield, before that intersection of 301 interchange. The accident is in the right lane. Thats causing slowdowns for you guys traveling on north 5. Northbound i95 not a bad ride. We are slowing through staffford leading courthouse road headed toward the quiet harbor, across occuquan and again at the beltway. Thats a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. A deal for the socalled fiscal cliff is now on its way to the president for his signature. This comes after the house approved a plan late last night. If no deal had been reached, the nation faced billions of dollars in tax hikes and spending cuts. Fox 5s Melanie Alnwick is live on capitol hill with more now. Good morning, mel. Reporter good morning, sarah. This bill halts the big tax hikes on all but the wealthiest americans. It also extends longterm Unemployment Benefits for a year. It fixes the alternative minimum tax and it also prevents a spike in dairy prices. But by merely offering a promise of spending cuts to come, most republicans were not happy with the compromise. On this vote the yeas are 257, the nays are 167. The motion is adopted, without objection a motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Reporter the republican controlled house of representatives has moved to pass the fiscal cliff bill. The central premise of my campaign for president was to change the tax code that was too skewed toward the wealthy at the expense of working middle class americans. Tonight weve done that. Reporter republicans dropped their demands for additional spending cuts, clearing the way for the vote. But not all were in full support of the deal. And the problem is we set up three more fiscal cliffs. Were going to have to deal with the debt ceiling, were going to have to deal with the continuing resolution expiration and were going to have to deal with the sequester. And all thats left is spending cuts. Were gonna look back on this night and regret it. Reporter Senate Lawmakers voted 898 overwhelmingly in favor of the legislation in the early Morning Hours of new years day. And although the house has finally supported the bill as well, representatives from both sides suggest it now sets the stage for more work in the coming weeks. Virtually no one believes that what we have before us tonight is a longterm solution to this problem. This legislation is far from perfect, and the process that has led us here is an utter disgrace. Yet in this time of crisis, we must act first and foremost to try to protect the american economy. And todays legislation will do that. Reporter and there is another financial crisis brewing. In just two months, the new congress will have to vote on whether to increase the u. S. Debt limit or risk government default. And, wisdom and sarah, that new Congress Gets sworn in tomorrow. All right, melanie, thank you so much. And it is being hailed as a victory for middle class families, but youll still take a hit on your pay check this year. The Social Security tax cut is ending, so the payroll tax will return to 6. 2 . For an average family making about 50,000 a year, that amounts to about 1,000 less that youll take home in 2013. Were talking about this on our Facebook Page right now and want to know, do you plan on changing your budget this year . Were getting a lot of comments on this one. Denise ferguson says there are always adjustments in life, just add this to the list. Good way to look at it, denise. Sharon thomas puts this on facebook. Just search us on fox 5. The d. C. Council is set to begin its new session today by officially welcoming its newest member. David grasso, an independent won the atlarge council seat back in november. He has said education and Ethics Reform will be his top priorities. Five incumbent councilmembers will also be sworn in to new terms today. They include evet alexander, marrian berry, meurial bouser, jack evans and vincent orange. A check of this mornings other top stories now, a Prince William county community paid tribute to a Police Officer killed in the line of duty. Officer chris young died in a fiery crash on route 28 in bristo on new years eve. Police and residents came out for a candlelight vigil last night. Youngs motorcycle collided with a minivan that was turning left from nokesville road. Both of those vehicles caught on fire. Two citizens pulled the officer from the wreckage you see right there in that photo, but he died at a local hospital. Youngs brother, brian, reminded the crowd at the vigil of chris sense of selflessness. This wasnt all about him. He wanted this to be about all the fallen officers, all the fallen firefighters, all the fallen emts, all the marines. Officer young worked with the department for seven years. He leaves behind a wife and three children. The two women in the minivan will be okay and no charges have been filed. Fire investigators still dont know what caused a church in prince georgias county to go up in flames. The fire broke out in at First Wesleyan Church in oxen hill. Fortunately no one was hurt in this. But due to severe damage, members will have to look for a temporary place of worship. Time for the morning line. Dave ross, tucker barntion barnes. Finally a guy in here that knows sports. We talk about the ravens. Were going to talk raven . Actually, no. Wisdom, get in here. Yay. Sorry, tucker. I thought i had my chance. Hows your agent doing . You dont want to know. Getting a raise . You dont want to know. You know whos getting a raise . Rwi. Whos the hottest team in the nfl right now . Seattle. Wrong. That would be denver. Thats why i wanted Tucker Barnes in here. Ill tell you this, it should be one heck of a game come sunday. The redskins have won seven in a row, seattle has won five in a row, and, again, yes, theyre a favorite, if you can believe that at fed ex field. Have the redskins won more than denver in a row . No. The redskins have won seven in a row, denver has won 10 in a row. We dont care about denver, why are you talking about denver . Because i asked you a question. Are we in denver . No. But theyre still the hottest team in the nfl. Thats a fact. Do you like the way the nfl is going with this wave of rookie quarterbacks, with bringing the young bucks in here that can run this pistol offense here we have here with rg3 and they have with rw1 . Its a Long Time Coming. Its overdue. Now coaches are actually having to coach the talent instead of having the stupid concept of im going to have a system and im going to grab some guy and im going to stick him my system. Why dont you fit the player into what the player is comfortable with and thats whats happening with tease rookies, thats whats going on. Thats whats happening with shanahan. Thats whats happening with these coaches and the shanahan. Big coach wisdom martin. I agree, wisdom, its about the time we see rookie young talent taking over, not sitting on the bench for a couple of years and learning behind the veterans. The nfl coaches for the most part are all copycats. They do what the other coaches do and thats why they always get fired. The good ones are the ones that create their own thing. What did your agent say to snu you dont want to know, trust me. What was your favorite bowl game yesterday . Northwestern and mississippi state. Im kidding. It was wisconsin. Speaking of productive quarterbacks, have you seen this aaron murray kid for georgia . Yep. Dow like him . No. Why not . Hes a combine guy. Hes going to get in the combine and run over everybody. Taylor martinez steps off his back foot here. We had a shootout going on between these two teams, 3123 nebraska, but heres your prototypical quarterback. Theres your inthepocket, throwitdeep quarterback. You dont like him. 427 yards, thats a bowl record, and georgia beats nebraska 4531. Im not impressed. And his dock goes up. Of course it does. Quickly, wizards yesterday taking on dallas. The reason why i want to show you this is because we have an old man sighting. Hes a young kid, still a teenager. Knocking down the three here. Wizards let by led by as many as 14 points. A teenager, isnt that weird . Shawn marion is not a rookie, veteran, a guy in his 30s. The next guy is your guy, vin sanity. Hes one of the top five game dunkers of all time. Here we go at 35. Oh, wisdom. You know what he says . Coconuts. Dallas gets a win 10394. 35 year old years old and he can still get up like that. He like 68. Yeah, but hes 35. Hes like right there. Can you touch the rim . Of course i can. You cannot. Theres no way that martin can dunk nor touch the rim. Vince carter still can. Thats the end of this edition of morning line. Late get tucker back in here. We need to bring a rim in and see for ourselves if he can do that. All right, dave. No chance. Thanks.

So not a bad you know, this is january, not bad at all. Thats right. Hey, welcome back. Happy to be back. Happy new year to you. Happy new year to you. Happy new year, everybody. Can i tell you how happy i am to hear you say redskins game on sunday in january, thats unbelievable. The happiest of new years. Absolutely right. At home too. Thats right. Fantastic. Good morning, everybody. Guess what its time for . Ask tony and tucker with a little help from our friend dave ross. This is a segment, of course, where we all put our Heads Together answering questions, weather or otherwise. The question from nicole johnson, she writes in, im a football fan, mostly the redskins. As i watch games, i notice the players will give their touchdownwinning footballs to a group of their prospective fans in the crowd. I am curious to know, if they, the players have to pay the nfl for the lost balls and if so how much . Excellent question. Good question. I notice this more and more this year than in past years that theyre giving them away . Yeah. They used to give them away all the time. Then they stopped for a while. Thats right. And now often if its a significant touchdown, the player will keep the ball. But sometimes they flip them up into the stands. From my understanding, yes, it does come out of the player pay check. Thats what i understand too. I understand its not very much, like a 25 deal. Thats it . Its not like an exorbitant amount of money these guys pay. Youre right, these guys are doing this more often this year. In the grand scheme of things, what is that . Its just a minimal amount of money. Have your fun, throw the ball in the stands, do what you want to do. I always think of Terrell Owens because t. O. Was the king, the signed ball. It was always a show. Now, they would fine him. I think where people were getting confused, they would fine him for the celebration. For the theater. But the actual ball itself phenomenal theater. Exactly. Now, many, many years ago, the players didnt pay for it, the nfl just paid for it. Correct. But then i think it became happening every time, what do you care if its not coming out of your check. I got a question. If you keep a football after scoring a touchdown, do you pay for it then . Yeah. Thats your ball. Thats the nfls property and youre taking the property, you gotta repay for the ball. Thats my understanding. Now, are more and more players keeping the balls, after a typical touchdown . I think so. I think a lot of these guys emmitt smith back when he played for the cowboys kept every one of his touchdowns and thats a lot because he scored all the time. You could sign them and give them away to charity or something. He would keep them, an equipment manager with hold onto those things. Certainly for any milestone touchdown the guys are going to keep it. Even if they dont ask for it, theyll say, heres the ball. I dont know that everybody keeps every one of them, unlime em et smith. He happened to be a guy that packratted every single score. I happened to see on the nfl channel during the last week or so their whole conspiracy thing about the emaculate receptions. You know that guy has that ball and has it in a vault . A fan, who knows how much that ball is worth. But hes got it in a climate controlled vault. Did you and connor get any of the touchdowns sunday night . No. Highlights. Well, it was 90,000 of us out there. It was fantastic, one of the best games ive ever been to, so happy to be there with my son connor to share that moment with him. Its the loudest ive heard fed ex field. It was amazingly special to beat the cowboys, to really beat them, it meant something and on the board it went up nfc east division champs, the place just went crazy. My favorite moment from the game was as its winding down and the cowboys are desperately trying to do something and the clock is ticking down, it was like new years eve, everyone is counting, nine, eight, seven, and at zero the place erupted. Who probably wasnt counting is tony romeo. Hey, tony, heres your third interception. Dpl they might be charging him for all kinds of things. Hey, im a redskins fan through and through. So glad we beat the cowboys. Feel bad for tony rommiesto. As we talked about before we started this second, 30 or 40 years from now connor will look back on and say i was there with my dad that night before he won those 10 super bowls, i was there when it all started. Do you have any idea what the value of a football that the player throws in the stands is . Well, it really depends on whose it is. Certainly if rg3 throws the ball in the stands, thats going to go. They gotta be able to verify too. But if you can verify its the actual football with rg3, boy, you put that sucker on ebay, look out. Dave, thank you for joining us. Appreciate. Absolutely.

When they did that twopoint conversion, werent you, like, okay, this is getting interesting . I plead the fifth. Reporter i just knew it. I knew it. You deserve it, julie. Reporter i was thinking were going to tie this up, were going into overtime, this is whats happening, and he throws an interception. Guess what. It didnt happen. Reporter you know what . I will say this, though, it was very, very just words cannot express seeing rg3 in person, honestly. That was awesome. I did enjoy that. Its like seeing the beetles. Reporter well leave that to wisdom. Earlier tony we played here comes the sun, he didnt know who sang it. Oh, wisdom. Reporter thats okay.
