Morning D.C. Now isn’t this weather better than yesterday? The Nats are scheduled to play a double header, a great day for two games. It might be a bit windy today, but this is certainly the kind of weekend spring day we’ve been waiting for.

>> An electrical fire started in the Mall at Prince George’s County yesterday, causing it to be evacuated for a short period of time. There was a fire in the mall’s shipping tunnel underneath the building. There have been no injuries reported.

>> Homelessness is on the rise in the District region. The number of homeless men, women, and children has rise 2 percent since 2007, with near 12,000 homeless people in the region. Prince William County had the most drastic change in the homeless population, with a 38 percent increase from last year while Arlington had the biggest drop, with 13 percent fewer homeless.

>> D.C. students have pretty high truancy rates: a new report shows that 13 percent of students have missed more than 15 days of school without a valid excuse. Police picked up 3,700 truant students and returned them to school during the first semester of the school year.
