OF IT IS FRIDAY, APRIL 2.

THANK YOU, FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

AS MORE CALIFORNIANS ARE BECOMING VACCINATED, MORE AND MORE OF CALIFORNIA IS REOPENING BUT WITH SPRING BREAK UPON US, LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE URGING CAUTION.

KPBS REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN FOUND SOME COVID-19 RELATED DEATHS FROM LAST SUMMER COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.

>> WE STARTED COLLECTING THIS DATA EARLY ON.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THAT IF SOME RESTRICTIONS WERE NOT LIFTED LAST SUMMER THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN HOSPITALIZATIONS THAT LED TO AT LEAST 45 DEATHS.

>> IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THAT REOPENING AND THE INCREASE CAPACITY OF INDOOR GATHERINGS, WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALIZATIONS WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

>> Reporter: AT SCRIPPS OFFICIALS SAY THEY RAN THOUSANDS OF SIMULATIONS TO REACH THE CONCLUSION.

>> WE LOOK AT HOW IT GOES THROUGH STAGES OF BEING SUSCEPTIBLE, TO HAVING COVID TO BEING INFECTED AND THEN RECOVERED.

>> Reporter: THEY LOOKED AT FIVE CAMPUSES.

>> WE CAN ONLY SAY WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE DATA THAT WE HAVE AND ONE COULD SPECULATE IT MIGHT EVEN ACTUALLY BE LARGER.

>> Reporter: WITH SPRING BREAK UPON US, APRIL 15, CONVENTION CENTERS IN MOVIE THEATERS WILL BE ABLE TO REOPEN.

SCRIPPS OFFICIALS SAY PEOPLE STILL NEED TO BE VIGILANT, DESPITE INCREASING VACCINATIONS.

>> OUR MESSAGE HERE REALLY IS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING TO SAVE LIVES.

AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW THAT WORK.

>> THE SIMPLE CHOICE OF WEARING A MASK AND DECIDING TO STAY HOME, THAT MAKES ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

>> STATE OFFICIALS ARE ANNOUNCING THAT BEGINNING ON APRIL 15, GATHERINGS OF UP TO 25 PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED OUTDOORS.

ALSO IN MID APRIL, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES LIKE RECEPTIONS CAN HAVE UP TO 100 ATTENDEES IF PEOPLE HAVE PROOF OF VACCINATION AND A NEGATIVE TEST.

>>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM TOURED A POP-UP VACCINATION SITE TODAY.

KPBS REPORTER MAX RIVLIN-NADLER SAYS HE WAS THERE TO SHOW OFF THE EFFORTS.

>> Reporter: HE WAS PROMOTING THE EFFORTS THAT THE STATE HAS MADE IN REACHING THE MOST VULNERABLE AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO VACCINES AND THE PROGRESS THAT SAN DIEGO HAS MADE ON THIS FRONT.

>> THE COUNTY AND CITY IS LEADING THE WAY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: THE VACCINATION SITE CAME AFTER DAYS OF EFFORTS BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO SIGN PEOPLE UP FOR APPOINTMENTS.

THEY SAY TARGETING COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY COVID-19 MEAN SAN DIEGO IS ON THE WAY TO A FASTER OPENING.

>> 40% OF ALL FIRST DOSES HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE UNDER AN EQUITY FRAMEWORK AND THAT WILL ALLOW CITIES AND COUNTIES, LIKE SAN DIEGO, TO MOVE MORE QUICKLY THROUGH THESE TEARS ULTIMATELY GETTING TO A GREEN TIER WHICH WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT NEXT WEEK.

>> Reporter: THOUSANDS OF UNDOCUMENTED OLDER PEOPLE WERE IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE STATE IS POISED FOR A FULL RECOVERY BUT HE DID NOT COMMIT TO THAT EXPANSION IN MAY.

>> WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE BECAUSE OF SUPPORT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUT A LOT OF THAT IS ONE TIME SO WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL AS WE PRIORITIZE AND SET ASIDE THOSE INVESTMENTS HOW WE DO THAT.

>> THE CITY HEIGHTS MAYOR TOURED VACCINATION SITE WITH THE GOVERNOR.

THEY SAY THE LACK OF A PERMANENT VACCINATION SITE SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF GETTING THE VACCINE.

>> IT COMES DOWN TO THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THE VACCINE.

AND THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO CUT THROUGH THE BARRIERS.

WHETHER THAT MEANS TRANSPORTATION OR WHATEVER.

AND BEING REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE OUTREACH NECESSARY.

>> THE VACCINATION SITE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY EVENTS IN OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.

MAX RIVLIN-NADLER, KPBS NEWS.

CONSTRUCT WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW AND WHERE TO GET YOUR SHOT AT WWW.KPBS.ORG.

DOES GO TO OUR HOMEPAGE AND THEN CLICK ON THE VACCINES TAB.

>>> NEW TRAVEL GUIDELINES RELEASED BY THE CDC ARE DIRECTED AT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19.

>> WE HAVE SEVERAL STUDIES DOCUMENTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COVID-19 VACCINES.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 CAN SAFELY TRAVEL.

THE AGENCY DISCOURAGES UNVACCINATED AMERICANS FROM TRAVELING BUT SAYS THAT THOSE WHO MUST SHOULD GET TESTED 1-3 DAYS BEFORE THE TRIP AND 3-5 DAYS AFTER.

THE CDC DIRECTOR SAYS SHE IS RECOMMENDING AGAINST NONESSENTIAL TRUFFLE.

TRAVEL.

PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS WARN AGAINST DOING TOO MUCH TOO SOON.

>> IF WE CAN JUST CONTINUE TO EXERCISE SOME OF THE PRECAUTIONS WE HAVE TAKEN AND CONTINUE WITH VACCINATIONS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

>> ALL-AMERICANS SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAR MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCE.

>>> ANOTHER DEADLY INCIDENT AT THE U.S. CAPITOL.

WHAT OFFICER IS DEAD AND ANOTHER IS SEVERELY INJURED.

18 YEAR VETERAN, BILLIE EVANS, AND ANOTHER OFFICER EXCHANGED GUNFIRE WITH A MAN WHO RAMMED HIS CAR INTO THEM AT A SECURITY CHECKPOINT.

INVESTIGATORS ARE WORKING ON A MOTIVE BUT DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO TERRORISM.

LAWMAKERS ARE ON RECESS.

THE CAPITAL REMAINS ON EDGE THREE MONTHS AFTER A MOB OF ARMED INSURRECTION US STORMED THE CAPITAL.

>>> TODAY WRAPPED UP AN EMOTIONAL WEEK INSIDE THE COURTROOM AT THE TRIAL OF DEREK CHAUVIN.

>> IF YOU KNEEL ON SOMEBODY'S NECK, THAT CAN KILL THEM.

>> THE MOST SENIOR MEMBER OF THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS DEREK CHAUVIN WENT AGAINST TRAINING DURING THE ARREST OF GEORGE FLOYD.

>> IN ALL OF THE YEARS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE YOU BEEN TRAINED TO KNEEL ON THE NECK OF SOMEBODY IN THE PRONE POSITION?

>> AND WHAT KIND OF FORCES THAT?

>> THAT IS DEADLY FORCE.

>> HOLDING HIM TO THE GROUND FACE DOWN IN THE KNEE ON THE NECK FOR THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, IT IS JUST UNCALLED FOR.

>> THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY ALLOWS A POLICE OFFICER TO USE WHATEVER MEANS ARE AVAILABLE TO HIM TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND OTHERS, RIGHT?

>> YES.

>> DID YOU SEE ANY NEED FOR THE OFFICER TO IMPROVISE BY PUTTING A KNEE ON HIS NECK FOR NINE MINUTES AND 29 SECONDS.

>> IT DID NOT.

>> OFFICERS ALSO HAVE A DUTY TO PROVIDE LIFE-SAVING CARE FOR PARAMEDICS ARRIVED.

>> YOU NEED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE FOR A PERSON IN DISTRESS.

>> REPORTING FROM MINNEAPOLIS I AM CAMILLE BURNELL.

>> THE SHOWING OF THE VIDEO WHERE GEORGE FLOYD WAS KILLED HAS BEEN RE-TRAUMATIZING FOR SOME.

ONE WOMAN SAYS THAT, IF YOU ARE SUFFERING EMOTIONAL STRESS AND TRAUMA, THIS WOMAN HAS ADVICE.

>> IT IS ABOUT LOVING OURSELVES IN A DEEP AND PROFOUND WAY.

I THINK IT IS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT TRUTH AND EXCEPT THAT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND THEN DEVELOPING PERSONAL STRATEGIES.

>> IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN NEED OF HELP CALL 211.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY THAT CAN PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH RESOURCES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

>>> EASTER IS THE HOLIEST DAY OF THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR.

AND TODAY, GOOD FRIDAY, THERE ARE MANY IN PERSON WORSHIP SERVICES TAKEN PLACE.

>> THIS TIME LAST YEAR PEOPLE CELEBRATED THE EASTER HOLIDAY FROM HOME BUT THIS YEAR, WITH SAN DIEGO IN THE RED TIER , CHURCHES CAN HOLD SERVICES WITH 25% CAPACITY.

>> WE NEED TO HUMANIZE EACH OTHER.

THIS IS WONDERFUL.

>> BUT I AM HAPPY WITH WHAT THE CHURCH CAN DO FOR US DURING THE PANDEMIC.

>> Reporter: PARISHIONERS SAY THEY ARE HAPPY TO BE BACK EVEN WITH COVID-19 LIMITATIONS.

>> THEY ARE VERY EXCITED.

AND A COUPLE OF THEM WOULD CRY AND SAY THEY MISSED CHURCH >> Reporter: BUT FOR THEIR WORSHIPERS NOT QUITE READY, VIRTUAL SERVICES ARE BEING OFFERED.

ONE WILL BE THE ANNUAL SUNRISE SERVICE TAKING PLACE ON EASTER SUNDAY.

I'M MELISSA MAE FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE POPE SPENT THE DAY VISITING THE POOR IN NEED OF VACCINATIONS.

AND HE IS URGING PEOPLE TO GET VACCINATED WITH ANY BRAND OF VACCINATION AVAILABLE WHICH IS IN CONTRAST TO WHAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED IN THE UNITED STATES.

>>> KPBS REPORTER MAX RIVLIN- NADLER IS HERE TO TELL US HOW BLACK IMMIGRANTS ARE BEING TREATED DIFFERENT.

>> Reporter: TIJUANA RUNS HAVE BEEN IMMIGRATED FOR DECADES.

MANY HAITIANS ARE STUCK IN TIJUANA FEARFUL THAT BY CROSSING THE BORDER THEY WILL BE SENT BACK TO HAITI BUT UNABLE TO MAKE A LIFE FOR THEMSELVES IN MEXICO.

ONE OF MY GREAT CAMP WAS ESTABLISHED IN FEBRUARY, HUNDREDS OF HAITIANS SET UP TENTS HOPING THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO DECLARE ASYLUM IN THE UNITED STATES.

DOREEN IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE MET WHEN THE CAMP OPENED.

HE HAS BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR.

HE HAD SPENT FIVE YEARS WORKING IN CHILE BUT THE DISCRIMINATION THERE WAS INTENSE.

HE WAS TRYING TO GET INTO THE UNITED STATES EVEN THOUGH HE FEARED POSSIBLY BEING RETURNED TO HAITI.

>> A RULE KNOWN AS TITLE 42 DOES NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO SEEK ASYLUM DURING A PANDEMIC.

BUT, NOW MORE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO ENTER THE UNITED STATES.

ENTER YOUR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN SCALED BACK BUT THAT HAS NOT HELD TRUE FOR HAITIAN MIGRANTS.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS REMOVED OVER 1200 HAITIANS FROM THE UNITED STATES.

AND THAT IS MORE THAN WAS DONE DURING ALL OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.

WHAT WAS FOUND THERE WAS NOT REASSURING.

THE HAITIANS WERE LEAVING THE CAMP BECAUSE THEY FELT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY THE CENTRAL AMERICAN MIGRANTS.

>> A LOT OF HAITIANS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE AND BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SPEAK SPANISH OR THEY SPEAK IT WITH AN ACCENT.

>> Reporter: CHRISTIAN NESTER IS A HAITIAN LAWYER.

HE SAYS MANY HAITIANS HAVE GONE BROKE IN MEXICO.

>> A LOT OF HAITIANS ARE STUCK HERE AND THERE WORK AUTHORIZATION HAS EXPIRED SO THEY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO MAKE MONEY.

>> Reporter: BUT MANY HAITIANS THAT CROSS THE BORDER ARE SENT BACK TO HAITI.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE AFRAID TO RETURN TO HAITI BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR THEM.

PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER.

>> Reporter: HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT THE TREATMENT OF HAITIANS IN THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM HAS DETERRED ANYONE FROM COMING TO THE UNITED STATES.

>> EVEN WITH A CHECKERED HISTORY, THE UNITED STATES IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY AND PEOPLE REALLY WANT THAT CHANCE TO LIVE THAT AMERICAN DREAM.

>> Reporter: MANY HAITIANS HAVE JUMPED THE BORDER FENCE IN RECENT WEEKS.

TIRED OF RACISM AND WILLING TO RISK BEING RETURNED TO HAITI.

WE CAME BACK LOOKING FOR -- AND HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

>>> LIKE THAT STORY YOU JUST SAW?

ALL OF THOSE STORIES ARE POSTED TO THE KPBS YOUTUBE PAGE AND THAT INCLUDES PODCASTS AND FULL EPISODES OF KPBS EVENING EDITION.

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS HOME TO 18 NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS.

THE MOST TRIBES OF ANY OTHER COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES.

UNDER A NEW PROPOSAL THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY COULD CHANGE.

SUPERVISORS JIM DESMOND AND NORA VARGAS ARE CALLING FOR THE REPEALING OF STRICT CRITERIA TO OBTAIN LIQUOR LICENSES.

THEIR PROPOSAL INCLUDES CREATING A TRIBAL LIAISON POSITION AS WELL.

>> THEY SHOULD BE DEALING WITH US IN A GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNMENT RELATIONSHIP.

WE ARE EQUAL TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT.

I APPLAUD THIS FIRST STEP AND WE SHALL SEE HOW IT GOES.

>> COLLECTIVELY THE TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE CREATED OVER 10,000 JOBS RESULTING IN A $1 BILLION PER YEAR INDUSTRY.

THE BOARD IS SET TO TAKE UP THE PROPOSAL NEXT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7.

>>> THE PUBLIC AGENCY THAT MANAGES THE TITLE LANDS AROUND SAN DIEGO IS LOOKING AT DOING BASE BUSINESS DIFFERENT.

THEY STARTED LOOKING AT THE PLANNING DOCUMENT THAT COULD INCLUDE A FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.

>> Reporter: WHEN TRUCKS RUMBLED THROUGH BAYSIDE SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOODS SOME SEE ECONOMIC VITALITY.

AT THE ECONOMIC PAYLOAD COMES WITH A COST.

A COST THAT IS FREQUENTLY PAID BY THE COMMUNITY.

>> LOGAN IS ONE OF THE WORST POLLUTED AREAS IN THE AREA.

>> Reporter: DARLENE HAS PUSHED BARRIO LAGO RESIDENTS TO CLEAN UP OPERATIONS.

SHE SAYS POLLUTION PUSHES LOCAL ASTHMA RATES UP.

AND THAT IS NOT THE ONLY HEALTH IMPACT.

>> WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF COVID-19 INFECTIONS, MORTALITY.

THIS IS SERIOUS.

PEOPLES LIVES DEPEND UPON THIS.

>> LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE BEGGING FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN.

THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT TRUCK TRAFFIC FOLLOWING THE OPENING OF A NEW MITSUBISHI PLANT.

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL TRANSITION TOWARDS COLLABORATION.

>> Reporter: JASON GEFFEN SAYS THE AGENCY IS CONSIDERING DOING SOMETHING RARE.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT BEING ONE OF THE FIRST PORTS IN CALIFORNIA TO AT AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT TO THEIR MASTER PLANNING DOCUMENT.

HE SAYS THAT WILL HELP.

>> THEY HAVE MORE THAN THEIR FAIR SHARE OF IMPACT WE LOOK AT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY AND AS A WAY TO GUIDE THE FUTURE TOGETHER TO REDUCE IMPACT SPECIFICALLY AROUND SOME OF THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: THE CHANGE WOULD FORCE THEM TO CONSIDER PROJECTS AND LEASES IN THE TIDELANDS.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW POLICIES AND PROJECTS IMPACT NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN SET THE BALANCE FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS AND REALLY FOCUS ON IMPROVING AIR QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.

WE HAVE SEEN AN INVESTMENT BY THE COURT AND AN ACCELERATION INTO ADVANCING THESE PROGRAMS.

>> Reporter: THE PORT IS MOVING TO ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES AT MARINE TERMINALS AND THERE ARE EFFORTS TO MOVE TRUCK TRAFFIC AROUND RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

IS ALSO A PUSH TO INCREASE ACCESS TO TRANSIT.

BUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH COALITION LEADER LOOKS AT THE MOVE WITH SKEPTICISM.

>> IT IS A GOOD SENTIMENT AND AN IMPORTANT GOAL BUT WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY MATERIALIZE THAT IN THE ACTIONS THAT THEY TAKE.

>> Reporter: THE PUSH TO KEEP ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FROM BEING JUST A PAPER CHANGE ON THE BOARD CHAIR SAYS THEY WANT HEALTHY THRIVING NEIGHBORS.

HE SAYS CLEAN AIR IS IMPORTANT TO HIM AND HE THINKS ELECTRIFICATION OF PORT VEHICLES IS AN IMPORTANT STRATEGY.

>> WE WANT TO BE A LEADER ON THAT FRONT BECAUSE WE ARE A PUBLIC AGENCY.

AND THOSE WHO LEAD ON THIS ISSUE WILL GET THE FUNDING AND THE SUPPORT NEEDED TO MAKE THESE TRANSITIONS.

>> THE BOARD OF PORT COMMISSIONER NEWEST MEMBER, SANDRA NAVARRO, WANTS TO SEE THIS HAPPEN.

>> AS PORT COMMISSIONER I WANT TO PUSH FOR THAT SO THAT WE CAN BE BLEEDING.

NOT JUST IN THE STATE BUT ALSO NATIONALLY.

>> Reporter: SHE IS EXCITED THAT THE MASTER PLANNING DOCUMENT WILL HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT.

>> THIS IS PART OF THE LENS OF HOW WE ARE LOOKING AT THINGS.

>> RECOVERING FROM THE FINANCIAL HIT FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WILL GRAB A LOT OF ATTENTION AT THE PORT THIS YEAR BUT THEY COULD KEEP BAYSIDE NEIGHBORS IN THE DISCUSSION IF THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE BECOMES PART OF THE BUSINESS EQUATION.

ERIK ANDERSON, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE ARE KEEPING THINGS DRY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

BUT THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN AND THAT MEANS COOLER TEMPERATURES.

TEMPERATURES ARE CRANKY BECAUSE OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM HANGING OUT OVER THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST AROUND PHOENIX.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE NUMBERS MAKE IT INTO THE 90s AND THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

SO THERE IS HEAT COMING BACK INTO PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST.

WOULD KEEP THE COASTAL CLOUDS OUT THERE.

AND AS YOU LOOK TOWARDS MOUNT LAGUNA, 62 DEGREES.

WE HAVE COASTAL CLOUDS.

BUT THEY WILL TAKE A BIT OF TIME TO BUILD.

THE COASTAL FOG WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM BECOMING SCORCHING.

SO, FOR SOME OF OUR INLAND LOCATIONS, WE ARE HEADED UP.

CAMPA WILL BE 80 IN SAN DIEGO 80 DEGREES.

AGAIN, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE CAUTIOUS.

THIS IS WHEN WE ARE STARTING TO GET INTO THE SEASON WHERE THE WARMTH COMES IN.

WE KEEP THE CLOUDS TOWARDS THE COAST FOR THE START OF THE DAY.

WE WILL SEE COASTAL CLOUDS AT LEAST FOR THE MORNING ON SUNDAY AND THEN SEE MORE OF THAT PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

SO THAT PATTERN IS ON REPEAT.

WE WILL BE AT 70 DEGREES FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

MEANWHILE, INLAND LOCATIONS, WE ARE GOING TO BE IN THE LOWER 80s ON MONDAY AND THEN BACK TO THE 70s AND BASICALLY PRETTY CLOSE TO THOSE WARM TEMPERATURES.

AND BACK TO THE 60s.

THE DESERTS ARE HEADED TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS ON SUNDAY.

FOR KPBS NEWS I AM METEOROLOGIST MELISSA CONSTANZER.

>>> MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IS NOT JUST CRITICIZING GEORGIA ON VOTING LAWS.

WE TELL YOU WHAT THAT COULD MEAN .

>>> SAN DIEGO WOULD BE A WONDERFUL LOCATION.

IT IS A GREAT BASEBALL PARK.

IT WILL GIVE A LOT OF FOCUS TO THE PADRES COME MIDSEASON.

AND IT WILL REALLY HELP FROM A TOURISM STANDPOINT.

BEING IN SAN DIEGO IN THE SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO BE IN SAN DIEGO.

THE WEATHER IS PERFECT.

IT IS NOT HOT AND HUMID AND THIS WILL BE A TIME FOR THAT TO BE MADE.

THIS WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY .

SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT IF HE HAD TO MAKE A LAST-MINUTE CHOICE IT WOULD BE EXCEPTIONAL.
