THE AUTHOR SAYS IT'S IN RESPONSE TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S OWN SANCTUARY POLICY.

OUR VIDEO JOURNALIST REPORTS THE ANNOUNCEMENT DREW PROTESTERS.

>> ON ONE SIDE OF THE ISSUE .

>> FAMILIES SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED BY OPPORTUNISTIC POLITICIANS.

>> ON THE OTHER.

>> IT WAS WRONG THEN AND IT'S WRONG TODAY.

>> BOTH SIDES OF THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE MAKE THEIR CASE FOR AND AGAINST THE CALIFORNIA VALUES ACT.

BRIAN JONES INTRODUCED A BILL TO COUNTER THE 2017 LAW.

HE SAYS HIS BILL DOES TWO THINGS.

>> IT PROHIBITS LOCAL JURISDICTIONS FROM FURTHER RESTRICTING COOPERATION WITH IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS BEYOND WHAT CURRENT SANCTUARY LAW ALLOWS.

IT MANDATES COOPERATION FOR SPECIFIC VIOLENT CRIMES THAT ARE CONVICTED.

>> IN DECEMBER SAN DIEGO COUNTY PASSED A POLICY TO STOP COUNTY AGENCIES FROM COOPERATING WITH OR ASSISTING I.C.E UNLESS THEY HAVE AN ARREST WARRANT SIGNED BY A STATE OR FEDERAL JUDICIAL OFFICIAL.

>> IN 2017 CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHED SB 54 WHICH STATED LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND STATE AUTHORITIES IN ONLY LIMITED CAPACITY, SHOULD THEY COLLABORATE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS.

>> THIS BILL EXPLOITS THEM TO ALLOW CRIMINALS INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.

>> CHRISTIAN MILLIONAIRES RAMIREZ SAYS THOSE STATEMENTS ARE ANTI-IMMIGRANT AND ANTIWORKER.

>> IN THIS CITY WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE FAR EXTREMIST POLITICIANS TO ATTACK THE VERY PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS ECONOMY WORK.

>> MAYOR BILL WELLS FIRES BACK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.

>> WHITE ARE YOU SO WHY ARE YOU SO CONNECTED TO YOUR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY THAT YOU COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE INNOCENT OF OUR STATES, OUR GOVERNMENT, AND OUR LOCAL CITIES?

>> IT WAS INTRODUCED AND STILL NEEDS TO BE ASSIGNED TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE FOR A HEARING.

>> CHAOS, UNCERTAINTY, AND SOME CASES., EMOTIONS RUNNING HIGH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS THOUSANDS OF FORMER WORKERS REAL FROM RECENT JOB LOSSES.

MANY MORE WAITING TO SEE IF THEY ARE NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.

WE REPORT ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S UPENDING OF THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE.

>>> THOUSANDS OF FEDERAL WORKERS HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM ROLES AT MULTIPLE AGENCIES INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, VETERANS AFFAIRS, HOMELAND SECURITY, AND THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE ALSO THE CDC WERE OFFICIALS SAY THE EXACT NUMBER OF JOB CUTS IS UNKNOWN.

>> TEAM MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FIRED BECAUSE THEY EMAILED THEM AND GOT A BOUNCE BACK SAYING THE EMAIL ADDRESS NO LONGER EXISTS.

>> Reporter: THE IRS IS EXPECTED TO LOSE AROUND 6000 EMPLOYEES THIS WEEK IN THE WAKE OF TAX SEASON WHICH COULD IMPACT AROUND 50,000 EMPLOYEES AT THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT, PUT ON HOLD THIS MORNING PENDING A THOROUGH REVIEW OF WHAT THE CUTS COULD MEAN FOR THE U.S. MILITARY READINESS.

>> I DON'T SUPPORT THE PROCESS THAT THEY ARE EMPLOYED WHICH A WRECKING BALL.

>> OR PERHAPS A CHAINSAW LIKE THE ONE ELON MUSK CEREMONIOUSLY WIELDED ON STAGE AT THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL ACTION CONFERENCE ON THURSDAY NIGHT .

CONSTITUENTS OF RICH McCORMICK NOT HOLDING BACK AT A TOWN HALL IN ROSWELL LAST NIGHT.

>> WHY IS THIS BEING JAMMED DOWN THE PIPE SO RUSHED AND SLOPPILY?

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN YOU SAY THIS HAVE THIS MANY EMPLOYEES YOU HAVE TO CUT THAT ORGANIZATION DECIDES WHO THEY WILL CUT .

>> THERE'S RISING CONCERN THAT THIS IS KIND OF A MINDLESS AND RECKLESS -- THERE'S NO PATTERN TO IT.

IT WILL HURT AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILIES ESPECIALLY IN THEIR CONSTITUENCIES.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING A PLAN TO MOVE THE U.S.

POSTAL SERVICE TOWARD PRIVATIZATION.

THE WASHINGTON POST REPORTS TRUMP PLANS TO DISBAND THE POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION, THE INDEPENDENT BOARD WHICH OVERSEES THE USPS.

THE REPORT SAYS HE WOULD PUT THE AGENCY UNDER DIRECT CONTROL OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT.

NEITHER THE WHITE HOUSE OR POSTAL SERVICE HAVE COMMENTED BUT A WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL DENIED TRUMP PLANS TO SIGN SUCH AN ORDER.

IT'S UNLIKELY THE PRESIDENT WOULD BE ABLE TO PRIVATIZE THE USPS WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.

>>> IN NORTHERN IMPERIAL COUNTY A TINY TOWN IS STILL FIGHTING TO GET ITS POST OFFICE REBUILT.

RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN CUT OFF FROM DAILY ACCESS TO THE MAIL FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS.

>> SINCE FEBRUARY 22, THIS RESIDENT HAS BEEN PAYING FOR A PO BOX THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.

>> I GUESS I'M PAYING TO GET MY MAIL WHEN IT SUPPOSED TO BE FREE ANYWAY BUT I PAY FOUR DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR THE PO BOX AND WE DON'T HAVE THIS ANYMORE.

>> THE POST OFFICE WAS DESTROYED IN A FIRE CUTTING OFF DAILY SERVICE FOR SEVERAL SMALL BORDER COMMUNITIES ON THE NORTH END OF THE IMPERIAL VALLEY.

THE POSTAL SERVICE PROMISED TO REOPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS SENATORS URGE THE POSTMASTER GENERAL TO ACT.

COMMUNITY LEADERS HAVE HELD PROTESTS WHILE OFFICIALS OFFERED TO DONATE BUILDINGS TO HELP BUT THE POST OFFICE IS STILL CLOSED.

>> IT DEVASTATED A LOT OF PEOPLE.

>>> THE WOMAN WHO OPENED FIRE AT IN THE BOUNDARY SCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET FROM HER HOME IN SAN CARLOS WAS DENIED PAROLE TODAY.

IT'S BEEN NEARLY 5 DECADES SINCE SHE OPENED FIRE KILLING TWO ADULTS AND INJURING EIGHT STUDENTS AND THE POLICE OFFICER AT CLEVELAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SPENCER WAS 16 AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING.

WHEN ASKED WHY SHE DID IT SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T LIKE MONDAYS.

>>> A LOCAL HISTORIAN WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE BLACK AND IN SAN DIEGO 40 YEARS AGO OUR REPORTER SAYS IN THE PROCESS, HE FOUND A HERO .

>> WHEN HE BEGAN TO EXPLORE THE ARCHIVES IN THE FALL HE PULLED BOXES FROM THE LATE 80s AND EARLY 90s .

ONE PER BURST THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS.

>> A SPITFIRE, A TINY PERSON BARELY OVER 5 FEET WITH BIG GLASSES.

>> MARTIN ARRIVED IN 1988 AT 38 YEARS OLD THE STORY GOES HER CAR BROKE DOWN AND SHE DECIDED TO REMAIN FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CITY AND WITH PHYLLIS JACKSON.

>> PHYLLIS WAS A DESIGNATED MOTHER DEDICATED MOTHER AND A BRIGHT ACTRESS HERSELF.

THEY BECAME QUITE A TEAM.

>> Reporter: LATER THAT YEAR, MARTI WAS WRITING FOR A LOCAL PUBLICATION.

>> MARTY QUICKLY BECOMES ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND CONTROVERSIAL WRITERS.

>> SHE CALLED HERSELF A MEMBER OF THE ANTI-FLUFF BRIGADE AND THOUGHT THE U.S. , SAN DIEGO ESPECIALLY, LOVED TO HIGHLIGHT THE POSITIVE BUT GLOSSED OVER ALL OF THE WORK THAT WAS LEFT TO DO.

SHE WROTE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FROMMER'S PROVERBS.

SHE WROTE ABOUT THE GULF WAR.

"WE FILL OUR GAS TANKS WITH THE BLOOD OF THE CHILDREN WHO ARE SLAUGHTERED OVER THERE AND LAUGH BECAUSE THE PRICE IS SO LOW."

OF THE LA RIOTS, "I COULD FORGIVE YOU ONLY IF YOUR FOOT IS FINALLY RELEASED FROM MY THROAT."

PEOPLE CALLED HER A TROUBLEMAKER.

THE ARCHIVES ARE FILLED WITH HATE MAIL TO MARTY AND HER COMEBACKS.

>> IN RESPONSE TO A THREE PARAGRAPH LETTER THAT WAS DEEPLY WHITE SUPREMACIST AND SAID BLACK PEOPLE HAD NO INTELLECTUAL ABILITY OR ANY BUSINESS WRITING, SHE SIMPLY WROTE, I GIVE IT A D. IT'S GOT A BEAT BUT YOU CAN'T DANCE TO IT.

WHEN I SAW THAT I SCREAMED.

>> SHE FOUNDED A BRUTE A GROUP.

>> TALLEY SAYS IT WAS THE FIRST FORMAL ORGANIZATION OF ITS KIND LOCALLY.

>> DID NOT ONLY THE GROUP CREATE A SPACE FOR BLACK, LGBTQ SAN DIEGO RESIDENTS TO SAY I'M BOTH OF THESE THINGS, RIGHT?

IT ALSO REALLY TOOK UP SPACE IN PRIDE AND IN HILLCREST IN GENERAL.

>> THE GROUP RAN A SOBER CAFI AND CONNECTED PEOPLE TO RESOURCES FOR HIV, AIDS, AND DRUG ADDICTION AND HELD WHAT THEY CALLED RAP SESSIONS.

>> IT'S BEEN HARD HERE, HOW DO I NAVIGATE RACISM AT THE BARS OR EMPLOYMENT?

>> TWO OF THE MEMBERS MARSHALL THE 1990 PRIDE PARADE AND MARTI PUT ON A SHOW ABOUT BLACK LGBT LIFE WITH BIG MOMENTS OF VISIBILITY FOR A TINY DEMOGRAPHIC IN SAN DIEGO.

IN 1991 PRIDE IS NAMED HER WOMAN OF THE YEAR.

>> IT'S SHOCKING TO THINK THAT IN FOUR YEARS SHE COULD DO ALL THAT.

>> FOUR YEARS AFTER ARRIVING IN AUGUST 1992, HER WEEKLY COLUMN DISAPPEARS FROM THE LAND OF ARCHIVES WITH FUNDRAISERS FOR HER MEDICAL BILLS APPEARING IN OCTOBER AND IN DECEMBER, OBITUARIES.

SHE DIED OF CANCER AT 42.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S THE HARDEST ABOUT BEING A HISTORIAN IN THE ARCHIVES IS THAT YOU'RE INVESTED IN YOUR MATERIALS AND IN THE PEOPLE YOU READ ABOUT.

THERE'S THIS MOMENT WHEN YOU KEEP FOLLOWING AND MOVE ONE MONTH AHEAD THEN THERE'S NOTHING YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT IS NO LONGER THERE.

I CAME HERE TO DO INVESTIGATIVE HISTORICAL THOUGHT AND I FOUND A HERO.

WHAT'S WILD ABOUT THAT IS THAT MARTY WOULD BE WILDLY UNINTERESTED IN ANY OF THIS.

SHE WOULD BE ADJUSTING HER GLASSES AND THE LIKE SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IS IT BETTER?

WE HAVE PHONES NOW?

THE PHONES DO ALL THAT?

DID IT FIX POVERTY OR AIDS?

SO WE STILL HAVE WARS?

THEY ARE STILL RACIST?

I THINK SHE'D BE LIKE OKAY STOP PRAISING ME AND GET TO IT.

>> TALLEY SAYS MARTY'S WORDS STILL RESONATE.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPLY REASSURING AND ALSO SO HORRIFYING THAT MOST OF THE THINGS SHE WROTE ABOUT ARE UNCHANGED.

>> SHE SAYS THE RENEWED PUSH FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN 2020 GAVE HOPE THAT.

>> WE COULD TALK ABOUT THINGS AND PEOPLE WOULD LISTEN BUT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE FATIGUE.

>> WITH THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PEOPLE MIGHT FEEL THAT THE ERA IS OVER.

>> I THINK SHE WOULD SAY SO PEOPLE LISTEN FOR A MINUTE AND THEN THEY GOT TIRED?

WORK IS STILL THE SAME.

>> AS THE NEW ADMINISTRATION RECOGNIZES ONLY TWO GENDERS, BANS TRANS PEOPLE FROM SERVING IN THE MILITARY AND ENDS DIVERSITY INITIATIVES, TALLEY LEANS ON MARTI.

>> I'M OVERWHELMED THAT I'M JUST ONE PERSON AND I'M DEEPLY FLAWED BUT SO WAS MARTIN MACKEY AND THAT GIVES ME HOPE.

>> THE DIGITAL ARCHIVE OAFS OPENS IN APRIL AND HOPES THAT IT WILL MAKE OTHERS FEEL LESS ALONE TWO.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS PREPARING TO LOWER SPEED LIMITS ON A HANDFUL OF COMMERCIAL STREETS.

OUR REPORTER SAYS THIS IS PART OF A LARGER PLAN TO MANAGE SPEEDS AND IMPROVE TRAFFIC SAFETY.

>> AMONG THE STREETS THAT WOULD SEE A NEW 20 MPH SPEED LIMIT, SEGMENTS OF 30th STREET IN NORTH PARK AND NEWPORT AVENUE IN OCEAN BEACH.

3 1/2 YEARS AGO THE STATE LEGISLATURE GAVE CITIES SLIGHTLY MORE AUTONOMY WHEN SETTING THE SPEED LIMITS WHICH ARE TYPICALLY BASED ON THE ACTUAL SPEEDS THAT PEOPLE DRIVE AND NOT WHAT IS SAFE.

A COUNCIL COMMITTEE VOTED THURSDAY TO ADVANCE THE SLOWER SPEED LIMITS TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL.

>> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO MAKE THE STREETS SAFER.

THE PASSAGE OF ASSEMBLY BILL 43 GIVES THE CITY GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO LOWER SPEED LIMITS BASED ON SAFETY AND RESIDENCE IN MY DISTRICT HAVE CONSISTENTLY CALLED FOR SLOWER TRAFFIC AND SAFER SPEEDS.

>> THE LAW INCLUDES STRICT CRITERIA FOR WHEN THE CITIES COULD LOWER SPEED LIMITS IN SO- CALLED BUSINESS ACTIVITY DISTRICTS.

FEW STREETS IN SAN DIEGO ACTUALLY MEET THOSE CRITERIA AND IF THEY DO, IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW BLOCKS.

SEVERAL STREET SAFETY ACTIVIST TOLD THE COMMITTEE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS ALONE DO LITTLE TO SLOW DRIVERS DOWN.

>> WE NEED TANGIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES.

NARROW LANES, SPEED HUMPS, RAISED CROSSWALKS AND PROTECTED BIKE LANES WHICH ENFORCE SAFER SPEEDS.

>> STAFF SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON A COMPREHENSIVE SPEED MANAGEMENT PLAN WHICH COULD LOWER SPEED LIMITS ON EVEN MORE STREETS AND IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE FULL CITY COUNCIL ONE YEAR FROM NOW.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> TODAY IS NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY.

THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS SAYS 37 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

PROVIDE UNPAID ELDER CARE FOR A LOVED ONE.

IT IS A JOB WHICH COULD TAKE A TOLL ON THE CAREGIVER, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND FINANCIALLY.

>> Reporter: IT'S A JOB THAT COULD BE REWARDING BUT BEING A CAREGIVER COULD ALSO FEEL EXHAUSTING AND OVERWHELMING.

>> TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN NEEDS HAS TO BE SEEN AS A NECESSITY AND NOT AS SOME GUILTY INDULGENCE.

>> A PSYCHOLOGIST WITH CLEVELAND CLINIC SAYS MANY TIMES CAREGIVERS THAT SHE WORKED WITHIN HER PRACTICE FEELS LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO FOCUS ON THEMSELVES BUT IT'S CRITICAL TO AVOID BURNOUT.

>> YOU FEEL LEST STRESSED.

YOU'RE MORE LIKELY GOING TO BE PATIENT WITH YOUR LOVED ONE AND ATTEND TO THEIR NEEDS BETTER.

>> TO START, START WITH SELF- CARE, PRIORITIZE SLEEP, EAT A HEALTHY DIET AND ENGAGE WITH OTHERS.

THOSE WANTING TO OFFER SUPPORT COULD ASSUME CARE FOR A SHORT TIME TO ALLOW THE CARE OF HER CAREGIVER TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK.

>> SO THEY COULD ADJUST THEIR NEEDS AND ABILITIES WITH PEACE OF MIND THAT THEY ARE OKAY AT HOME.

>> GIVE THE GIFT OF SERVICE WHETHER IT'S OFFERING TO HELP WITH SMALL PROJECTS AROUND A LOVED ONE'S HOUSE, FINDING COMMUNITY ASSISTANT PROGRAMS LIKE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OR LENDING A HAND TO GET THEM ORGANIZED, NO AMOUNT OF AID IS TOO SMALL.

>> THIS COULD MAKE SUCH A BIG IMPACT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE CARED ABOUT AND THAT THEIR HELP HAS BEEN VALUED AS WELL WHICH COULD GO AN INCREDIBLY LONG WAY.

>>> A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES PARTNERING WITH THE SCRIPTS INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY TO COLLECT DATA ON ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS THROUGH WEATHER BALLOONS.

KAYLA MUELLER HAS THIS STORY.

>> Reporter: A PARTNERSHIP SPANNING ACROSS SEVERAL AGENCIES , THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, THE U.S. AIR FORCE, AND SCRIPTS INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY IS WORKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS.

>> THE ONE THING WITH CALIFORNIA IS THAT IT'S REALLY THE LAND OF EXTREMES.

IT'S EITHER FEAST OR FAMINE.

THE VARIABILITY IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS IS THE MOST VARIABLE COMPARED TO ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES.

>> THIS COULD BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR OF FLOOD OR DROUGHT SO RESEARCHERS ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THEM TO HELP WITH THE FORECAST AND OPTIMIZE WATER MANAGEMENT.

>> IT'S A GOOD LOCATION FOR US TO DETERMINE HOW THE WEATHER IS HERE.

WE COULD COME IN AND COME OUT.

>> ATMOSPHERIC RIVER RESEARCH FLIGHTS ARE DONE FROM JANUARY THROUGH MARCH.

TEAMS FLYING OUT FROM EITHER AIRBASE TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

>> IT'S VERY DATA SPARSE.

THESE ARE THE BEST WAY TO GO OUT AND OBSERVE THESE STORMS.

THEY WON'T FORECAST THEM WELL AS THEY ARE MAKING LANDFALL OVER CALIFORNIA.

>> DURING A TYPICAL MISSION THERE'S ABOUT 25 DROP ZONES AS THEY COLLECT DATA THROUGH THE STORM.

>> AS IT DROPS THROUGH THE STORM , THIS COLLECTS DATA WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO DRAW A VERTICAL MAP OF THE STORM.

>> WE HAD A COUPLE OF ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS THAT ARE PRODUCING A LOT OF RAIN THEN THEY TRY TO CONSERVE MORE WATER IN CERTAIN AREAS BUT IF IT IS GOING TO BE A HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT THEN MAYBE THEY MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT RELEASING WATER.

>> THE DATA COLLECTED FROM THE FLIGHTS ARE SENT TO WEATHER CENTERS TO COMPILE AND COMPARE.

ULTIMATELY IMPROVING STORM PREDICTABILITY AND FORECASTING.

>> WE ARE SEEING THE VARIABILITY THAT'S BECOMING EVEN MORE SO CALIFORNIA HAS BECOME MORE DEPENDENT ON THESE RIVERS TO PROVIDE THE WATER NECESSARY FOR AGRICULTURE AND DRINKING AS WELL AS OTHER USES ACROSS THE STATE.

>>> CERTAINLY WE HAD SOME COOL WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY BUT GOING INTO THE LAST STRETCH, THERE ARE BIG CHANGES IN THE NUMBERS AS WE WARM UP.

THAT BEGINS AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND WITH WIND DYING DOWN OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUING FOR US AND IT REMAINS WARM THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

OUR NUMBERS AND SOME SPARK SPOTS 10 DEGREES ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HOT AS WE GET TO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

SAN DIEGO, THE LOW IS 50 DEGREES, TOWARD OCEANSIDE WE ARE IN THE MID 40s.

COMING DOWN TO 35 DEGREES AS WE TRANSITION THROUGH SATURDAY.

YOU'LL NOTE THIS WARMING TREND ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST AS WE KEEP DRY AIR MASSES IN PLACE.

ALL THE ACTION WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH SOME SOAKING RAIN SO WE WILL MISS OUT ON ANYTHING GOING ON 72 DEGREES FOR THE HIGH.

A COUPLE OF CLOUDS.

CHULA VISTA INTO THE LOW 70s.

MID 80s BUT THERE'S MORE TO COME GOING THROUGH THE UPCOMING DAYS.

TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-70s BY THE TIME WE GET INTO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

DRY AND BRIGHT MOVING THROUGH THE WEEK TO COME.

IN THE INLAND COMMUNITIES WE ARE CLIMBING RIGHT BACK TO THE MID-80s BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY.

IT'S WARM EVEN FOR SUNDAY AS WE HOLD ONTO THE 80s HERE.

A TREND THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

AN UPWARD TREND TAKES OFF INTO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

THE MID-50s GOING INTO THE MID 60s BY THE TIME WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

THE WARRANTS WILL COME TO AN END THE WARMTH WILL COME TO AN END.

WE SHOULD VENTURE NEAR OR INTO THE LOW 90s ON WEDNESDAY.

>> CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRICE FOR EGGS?

>> THERE'S A LOT OF REMARKABLE THINGS ABOUT THIS MUSEUM.

ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE IS THAT WELL NORTH OF 90% OF THE THINGS IN HERE ACTUALLY WORK LIKE THE STEAM ENGINES.

SOMETIMES THEY NEED A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT, AND AT THE STEAM WHISTLE.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE LIKE THOMAS VOLUNTEER HERE AS A DOCENT.

>> BEING HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT REMINDED ME OF MY CHILDHOOD.
