we could be facing a pumpkin shortage. farmer say the weather forced them to push back the planting season and all that rain caused a type of mold thats with a big problem for the crop. peanut butter prices are apparently going up. there are a few reasons for that. first, demand is up. the department of agriculture says peanut butter consumption has jumped by 10% as more people turn to it as a cheaper source of protein compared to meat. and the peanut supply is down. crops have been small are because many farmers decided to grow cotton instead of peanuts when cotton prices were higher. >> a simpler law of demand. when that price goes up, the demand will come back down again. >> it just shows how people -- how the times are right now and they are going to peanut butter just for protein. >> absolutely. >> do you have some good news for us though? >> well, it depends on what you consider good news. i hate to pile on. but we've got changes in the forecast. we'll get some rain in here. we've been rain-free for seven,

it is president-elect -- w e'll -- we'll see the smallest full moon of the year. it is pretty amazing. >> things will look a little differently later on today. >> we'll see more clouds later on today. certainly rain late tonight and through the day tomorrow. today is kind of the day of transition. let's take a look at what is happening. we'll start with the sentinel radar and nothing here in our area at this point. but not too far south in southern virginia, southeastern virginia, down around the norfolk hampton roads area, roanoke, some showers have pushed in from the south. that will be the continuing motion of this rain event as it works its way into our region from the south into the north. again, can't rule out a shower or two later on today but the

bulk holds off until late tonight and during the overnight hours. right now, reagan national airport reporting most hi cloudy skies. temperatures, 63 degrees. relative humidity, 87%. right now, the win are calm. forecast for today, mostly cloudy today. a few showers are possible late. 73degrees for your high. coming up in about 15 minutes, today's edition of ask the weather guy where someone has written in wanting to know why our temperature forecast on any given day will differ from the forecast that you may see in other places. so how come -- the question essentially is how come all the forecasts aren't exactly the same. aren't you all looking at the same data. >> we wouldn't need you if they were all the same.

>> don't go there. >> we'll explain why you need me. >> let's go to julie wright. we need her every day. >> as you travel northbound up towards the springfield interchange, you will find the lanes are open. 9 # on the slow side coming across the occoquan heading north from the prince william parkway and you will find traffic stacking up as you continue north of 7100 leaving newington heading up to the capital beltway with no incidents to report. 359 on the brake at duke street headed out towards seminary road. if you are travel ago long route 4 this morning west of silver hill road, that is where we have accident activity reported here. watch out for fire and rescue units responding. suitland parkway coming in already at branch avenue and naylor road. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. new this morning, police say a passenger stabbed a metrobus driver. the investigators say it happened around midnight. somebody on the bus reported

>> reporter: it could be a really long, cold wasn'ter for them and so many of them have slept out here in freedom plaza. it will be chilly for they do stay for that four months. for the moment, freedom plaza seems to be the home of several dozen protesters. they've been here sense thursday. they were expecting a potential confrontation as their permit to occupy the space ran out. park police hay discussion with the group and told them informally they would likely be extended a permit for about four months. group seemed pleased with. this we expect the park service to make that formal today. no permit has been written up at this point. but it all seems peaceful for now. both sides in agreement. that is in sharp contrast to what is going in boston where early this morning, about 100 protesters were arrested in a clash with police. i'm stacy cohan. back to you. >> thank you.

the protesters that sparked anti-wall street and anti-greed movement will be allowed to stay in a manhattan park. they can stay indefinitely as long as they obey the law. one of strat points these protests are focusing is on the economy and the financial struggle that many folks face now. >> new numbers show more household have small are incomes than they did during the recession. james rosen has more. >> reporter: president obama argues his policies helped avert a second recession but for many americans the recession is starting to look more and more like the good old days. real median annual household income fell during the recession by just over 3%. sin the so-called recovery began in june twoip, that income level has fallen by almost 7%. >> i think it is fair to say there really has not been a recovery at least in terms house hole income.

>> reporter: the economy has been growing since june 2009 although slowly yet incomes have fallen dramatically since then. how can that be? because stubborn unemployment is suppressing income levels. the average length of a worker's period of unemployment shot up by 45% from 16 1/2 week to six months. during our so-called recovery, average period a worker spent fining i new job rose by 6 #% to 10 months. >> many people to get ajob, they have to take a job that perhaps involves a pay cut for them or it is in a different line of work that they have to learn where they're starting at a lower level. so all of those factors combine together to produce a more difficult situation for people. >> reporter: as usual, those demographic groups already struggling felt the drop in incomes the hardest with african-americans registering the high of the rate of decline of any racial group. but the prime factor weighing down our economy is neither black nor white but red, ink. >> part of the reason we are in

such a dour economy is because the u.s. government is paying such a high interest rate to all the borrowing it is doing. >> reporter: through recession and recovery, today's report shows one thing remaining constant, the value of education. those were the bachelor's degree or high are saw their income levels drop by a full percentage point less than those who failed to complete high school. in wash, james rosen, fox news. bad news for basketball fans. first two weeks of nba season have been canceled. owners and players can't reach a labor deal. one of the prime sticking points is the salary cap structure. david stern says both sides are, quote, very far apart on virtually all issues. the detroit lions are one of two teams still undefeated. they beat the bears on monday night football, 24-13. best was the star of the game rushing for 163 yards. that included an # #-yard touch

will have to take the building apart from the top down and put it back together again. >> it is upable believe. it is absolutely unbelievable, i think. i don't know how long it's been here but to think that it shifted and to put it back together again is going to take a long time i assume. >> reporter: a long time and a lot of money. the cathedral must raise $25 million to pay for early restorations through next year. >> definitely and historic landmark and we should try to preserve it and do whatever we got for do to keep it intact. >> reporter: the pinnacleles are put together in pees. once inspection begins, any stones in danger of falling will be immediately removed by hand if possible. >> it is wonderful that the masons are here and the technology exists to make it right again. >> reporter: years say the inside of the building is sound. the cathedral reopens november 12th. the goal now is to make sure

the outside is safe for people to go in. in northwest, sherry ly, fox 5 news. now to europe where an icon inlondon landmark appears to have structural problems of its own. big ben is leaning at an angle of .26 degrees. the keeper of clock says she is not worried because experts say it would take thousands of years before the till matches that of the leaning tower of pisa. hope they don't have an earthquake then. >> a lot of trouble with the landmark. >> seeing that up close and personal in the video. >> that is scary. >> they got their work cut out for them. >> now, i understand when of what they were talking about in terms of the cost and how long it would take. let's jump right in and talk about our weather conditions. we've got not a bad start to

the day. our temperatures are good. it is mild i would say outside, 63 degrees the current temperature in washington. annapolis at 65 degrees. salisbury, 60 degrees. it is cooler out to our west where winchester is 54 degrees at this hour. here is a look at the sentinel satellite-radar as we continue to talk about moisture down to the south. area of low pressure well off to the south and west of us, we have this rain wrapping around that area of low pressure and as you can see, it is pushing into the mid high pressure atlantic states from the south to the north. rainfall now across southern portions of virginia and some rainfall beginning to develop in south central virginia so this will be pushing into our area later on today and tonight. could see a couple of showers push in here during the afternoon hours although the bulk of this would be during the nighttime hours and during the day tomorrow. we'll keep our eyes open and watch the timing of this. your forecast for today looks

like this. mostly cloudy skies, yesterday, we had the high cirrus clouds. those clouds will lower and thicken during the course of the day. a few late day showers are possible. 73degrees for your high today. then for tonight, more cloudiness. we will see rain develop during the overnight hours. 60degrees for your overnight low. so the temperatures aren't bad. five-day forecast, we'll show you tomorrow our temperatures are in the 60s. clouds, rain during the course of the day. could be some spots of heavy rain i think primarily out to the west. thursday, maybe some lingering showers, particularly in the morning. high into the low and mid-70s and tsaturday, we dry out. temperatures begin to drop off. there you go. hello, tucker barnes. >> good morning. >> tucker is at the desk so you know it is time for ask the weather guys. it is the segment where tucker and i put our big heard together to answer your most pressing questions, weather-

related or otherwise. today's question, quite fascinating from beverly in anisville, virginia. she writes i have sometimes done some weather serving and checking out the forecast on other steve stations. >> what until. >> ooh! >> she says, i know, shame on me. >> i feel like i've been cheated on. >> she probably just did it to see how much better you are. >> at least she is being honest. my question is why is this such a did you have rens from -- such a difference from one station to another. >> very simple answer, you're right, they're wrong. >> that is essentially the answer. we did watch for a while and we put together the accuracy rate. we had some interns assigned and we had them watch the other stayings and here what is we

came up with. we are accurate 84% of the time. all the other local stations combined only 57%. and that is combined. >> these are interns doing this. >> yeah, so -- this is not an actual scientific poll. >> and very subjective. in our view, we are far more accurate. forecasters, there is certain data put out by the national weather service. there are weather data providers that we and other companies subscribe to. you may get a difference rent misks models appear maps at different stayings or different outlets, newspapers are looking at to come up with the forecast. and then, a part of it is your own intuition. of a been forecasting here for 20 years. tucker certainly for a long time.

and it is your own knowledge of the area and what you think it will do on any given day. that factors into it as well. that is why you would come up with some differences. sometimes-- i'm very -- you know, i'm actually rather surprised at how often we will get right on the head what the high temperature is going to be. i'm very proud of that fact that we do so well with that. yesterday, we didn't do that well to be honest. we blew it. >> tucker tried to blame you earlier by the way. >> well, it was really him. we work together on this. yesterday, our forecast high was 78 degrees. it was actually 83 degrees. i'll tell you why we went with the temperature we went with. we thought the cloud cover will be there and it will hamper the ability of the sun to really heat us up. the clouds were thinner than we thought and the temperature went high year good thing you stopped that 84% poll before yesterday. that would have lowered that. >> right. so when you predict weather, it is sort of half science and half art in some ways because
