O ba c comeol on, where are the 60s, 70s . I remember when they sent taeshon, you could see himd se moving around in there and a looked a little frantic. So i think theyoked probably changed so we wouldnt have toun look at it, what the scheck this were looking at . A renovation. R oh, rent a crate. And this is our sky shot. H. It looks a little bit like a thunderstorm to me for just a second. But dont worry, folks, weveve got clear skies out there. And that sun is not going down until 5 53 tonight. You know whatun else i was justt checking on, Daylight Saving time when we set our clocks s forward, couple of weekends away, march 12.

Love to see what you get, well show it tonight at 10 00 t it early enough. Heres where the cloud cover will come from tonight. From mix of sun and clouds today, you can see some tantalizinglyaa close rain, thats probably pro not going to get in here, although we cant completely rule out sprinkle or shower, and in the next 24 hours, but most of us are going to be dry the heat continues, yesterday we hit t 68, or suny we hit 71, on into saturday. Mid 50s, feels pretty goody for this time of year, certainly well above average. Fiftytwo right now in gaithersburg, 54 frederick, winchester, still 59 culpeper, and fredericksburg coming in at 58. Notice it is cooler at annapolis, close to the water. That will makes, c difference fe this time of year. Y but the winds direction has now shifted again, today, out of the northeast, and east, now weve got the south wind and that means we are on tap for a warm up tomorrow. Just let me give you idea i while it is not about the wind speed, which is pretty light today, it is about the wind direction, and what is it able to tap . Some warm air just down to the south, including mid 60s, for nashville, 64 atlanta, del rio r already up to 85 degrees, so here comes a lot of warmth that we see across the middledle part of the country, and tomorrow is just beginning as we climb right back up to the upper 60s, record challenging heat on thursday, and friday,y, as we soar into the 70s again. For this evening, it is kindning of cool. 7 00 temperatures should be right around tempe 53 degrees. And again, this is relative terms comparing the temperatures tonight to what teatur past several nights. 52 degrees at 9 00 and by 11 50. Were keeping clouds around,ds a we will likely start with some clouds tomorrow. Ds and then we will see that kind of clear out for more sunshineuh tomorrow afternoon, on wednesday, which will get th temperature pumping right backgi up to 67 degrees. S. Well have the seven day coming up in just a few minutes. Jim, sarah, back to you. To all right, thank you, sue. Right now at 5 00 stabbing at a caught on camera. C break in the case, new details ahead. They didnt want to be mean, mom. But then again, i wanted to certainly teach a lesson. N. She look like somebody who will play dirty . Dirt because this mom did. She sent her son a care package, filled with trash. Tra oh, thats a nice mom. Come see how she explains exp to fox5 why that punishment fits the crime. First, whats going on, gary . Reporter hey, thanks, jim. Have youter heard . This lovable Little Planet pluto, wait, i called it a planet. It is not a planet any morement tech nick will a dwarf planet of gigantic interest. But you know what, there is a i chance that pluto may be becoming a big boy planet again. More details, more news on that, live this evening from e the air and space museum here in d. C. Well have more coming up on fox5 news at 5 00. Stay with us. Us. For all those pokers, prodders, shuckers and sniffers, [ inhales ] all giant produce is triple checked. Farm, crate, and store. Were focusing on fresh. So you dont have to guess. My giant. Welcome back, it is anlc issue thats divided the scientificome th community. More than a decade ago, the international astronomicalstro union shocked a lot of people,tf remember this one, now the t group no longer considered pluto a planet. In fact, sarah and i were having intense discussion about it during the commercial break. We will pick it up a little later on, group of nasa scientists cents fightingight back. They want new definition thatito would once again recognize pluto as a planet. Fox5s gary mcgrady live tonight at the smithsonian airan and space museum with more, hey, gary . In your toss you summed it up a little bit. All of the bickering about this, then that means, and i think you guys are kind bribing row cam of what really the viewership, and the Space Shuttle experts out there. And i think it is really a division on is pluto a planetlae or is pluto not a real planet . T . And so i came out to the air and space museum. Wonderful exhibit. Ibit covers all of the planets, talks a lot about this. So just come out. Not just pluto, but listen, i want to show this real quick. This is new horizon. Izon this was launched, and itnd i is deep explorer. Exp and it is pick up on a lot of o new pictures from pluto. And a lot of evidence out there. And you agree . Theyre thinking ofan nasa, that why in the world was pluto w ever givenas the distinction of a dwarf planet . Like it has got to be it fits all of the parameters, so they come up with new definition, im telling you right now, most of the people p we talked to today, theyre glad about that. What do you know about pluto the planet . Pl dwarf planet . More we grew up with it, just wantg same, you know, the way they used to be. Through all of the probes we sent out into space, the one that went off in the solar system it, actually saw pluto. And given that, i think it deserves to be called a planet too. Plus i grew one it, it screwst up my whole thing of the solar system. It was a nine now a eight. Ht. Oh, my goodness. S. Now they may add a tenth. I think it would be reallylly cool because pluto is like a planet. Well, it was a planet. And i think that was really cool. But then it was sad when they took it away because now it matches up to everything. You know, really does, it was nine, number nine, now it i is not, now eight planets. Now but again nasa, nasa really thinks it should be made a big boy planet again, back to number nine. The astronomers took the distinction of planet away, made it a dwarf planet. So actually the planetary scientists hold on, we are the ones who should make this distinction, so what theyve done, i have to read this to you, okay . They came one new definition, now, listen to this, the new proposal is a planet in a substellar math body never undergone nuclear vision, and it has sufficient self graph takes to assume a shape absolutely and adequately described by triaxial, blah, blah, blah watch it means is this. It has to beah ws is round. It has to be smaller than a star. Not a new tron star. Not a black hole. So im sure, jim, sarah, these,h were the things that you guyss were debating. Correct . Co oh, intensely. So that means thats whatt it means to be a dwarf plane
