>> SINCE 2022 SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAD A PROGRAM THAT HELPS IMMIGRANTS WHO NEED LEGAL ASSISTANT.

NOW A COUNTY SUPERVISOR WANT TO CHANGE OR EXTEND THE PROGRAM.

JOHN CARROLL SAYS WHETHER THAT HAPPENS LIKELY DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME OF TODAY'S RACE SUPERVISOR.

>> JUST THREE SUPERVISORS LISTEN TO DOUBLE SPEAKERS BY PROPOSING TARA LAWSON.

SHE WANTS TO MODIFY AND EXTEND THE IMMIGRANT LEGAL DEFENSE PROGRAM, THE I LDP.

LAUNCHED IN 2022, LAWSON SAYS THE PROGRAM PROVIDED LEGAL HELP TO AROUND 2500 PEOPLE BUT THE PROPOSAL FAILED DUE TO A LACK OF A QUORUM.

SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND WASN'T THERE.

>> NO FATE, NO FEAR.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE.

>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AT SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO TAKE A STAND AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> RIGHT NOW THE ILDP IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE IN DETENTION, SHE WANTS TO CHANGE THAT TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO ANY IMMIGRANT WHO NEEDS HELP IN DETENTION OR NOT.

RIGHT NOW THE PROGRAM IS FREE.

AUSTIN REAVER WANTS TO INTRODUCE A SLIDING FEE SCALE TO STRETCH PROGRAM DOLLARS.

>> WE KNOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO IS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ATTORNEY SO YOUR DUE PROCESS RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED.

THAT'S A CORE TENANT OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

>> LAWSON REAMER SAYS THE NEED FOR RENEWED ILDP HAS ONLY BECOME MORE URGENT SINCE DONALD TRUMP TOOK OFFICE.

>> THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T JUST RAID YOUR HOUSE AND LOCK YOU UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.

YOU GET YOUR FAIR DAY IN COURT.

>> THAT'S ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR MIGRANT CHILDREN WHO FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT ANY ADULTS TO HELP THEM.

>> THE PROGRAM WOULD MAKE SURE THAT KIDS WHO ARE HERE DON'T HAVE TO STAND IN A COURTROOM.

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD BY THEMSELVES.

>> LAWSON SAYS IT'S TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON THE UPCOMING FIGHT OVER THE COUNTY BUDGET.

SHE SAYS THE ILDP PROVIDES A LOT OF BANG FOR THE BUCK.

>> ONE THING LAWSON REAMER IS NOT ASKING FOR IS MORE MONEY.

IF THE PROPOSAL FOR REORGANIZE ILDP PASSES, IT'S BUDGET WILL STAY THE SAME AT ABOUT $5 MILLION.

LESS THAN 1% OF THE COUNTY'S OVERALL APPROXIMATE $8 BILLION BUDGET.

>> LAWSON REAMER SAYS SHE WILL BRING IT BACK UP AFTER A NEW DISTRICT ONE SUPERVISOR IS ELECTED JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS .

>> THE NEWS WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST THREE OR FOUR DAYS SHOWS THE MARKET IS GOING DOWN QUITE A LOT.

>> CHARLES IS THE CITY'S INDEPENDENT BUDGET ANALYST.

HE SAYS THE CITY DOESN'T THAT ON THE STOCK MARKET ITS PENSION FUND DOES.

WHEN STOCK MARKET RETURNS DON'T MEET EXPECTATIONS THE CITY HAS TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.

MONICA SAYS TARIFFS COULD ALSO DRIVE UP INFLATION, WHICH IS THE CITY JUST LIKE A HITS CONSUMERS EVEN WORSE IS THE THREAT OF A CONCESSION.

>> THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE CITY IN THAT FOLKS ARE SPENDING LESS ON CONSUMER GOODS SO THE CITY SALES TECH RECEIPTS WITH POTENTIALLY LESS BUSINESS THAN USUAL.

TRAVEL, DECREASES TO TAX REVENUE.

COMING UP, WHAT IS EXPECTED TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE?

>>> LINDA McMAHON SPOKE AT DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO, KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER SAYS PEOPLE GATHERED OUTSIDE TO PROTEST STAFFING CUTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND ITS THREATS TO WITHHOLD FEDERAL FUNDING.

>> LAST WEEK THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TOLD STATES IT COULD WITHHOLD TITLE I FUNDING FROM SCHOOLS OVER THE USE OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION PRACTICES.

McMAHON WAS ASKED ABOUT IT TODAY AT AN EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE AT THE GRAND CHESTER GRAND HYATT.

>> WE HEAR THE I IS A BAD THING IT IS CONFUSING.

HELP US UNDERSTAND.

WHY THAT MEMO WAS SENT, WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE?

IN THE SPIRIT OF SERVING ALL STUDENTS WE WANT TO ENSURE ALL OF OUR KIDS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THE AMERICAN DREAM.

>> WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND JUSTICE AND EDUCATION.

>> J STEIGER TEACHES HISTORY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

>> I COME FROM A PURPLE FAMILY, WE WERE ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.

THE THING THAT UNITED US IS WE WERE ALL IN FAVOR OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.

SEEING IT BECOME A POLITICAL FOOT WALL IS DISHEARTENING AND DISTURBING AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE STANDING UP.

>> CODY PETTERSEN SAYS THE DISTRICT RELIES ON TITLE I FUNDING FOR ITS MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS.

HE SAYS IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERS TO BE A LEGAL DE I PRACTICE.

>> AS A FUNCTION OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY WE NEED TO PROVIDE FOR EQUITY AND EQUALITY IN OUR EDUCATION.

IN TERMS OF INCLUSION WE HAVE TO INCLUDE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

IT'S A LITTLE UNCLEAR HOW A DISTRICT IS VERY COMMITTED TO ITS RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS AND PROVIDING ALL STUDENTS THE RIGHT TO THRIVE.

>> THEY HAVE ASKED AGENCIES TO SIGN A LETTER DECLARING THEIR SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE A LEGAL TRENTON PROGRAMS.

HE PRAYS THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR BECOMING THE FIRST TO DO SO.

KATIE AND ESTES, KPBS NEWS.

>> THE SUPREME COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF ALLOWING THE TRUMP TEAM TO USE ALIEN DEPORTATION ACT BUT WITH SOME STIPULATIONS.

JULIA BENBROOK HAS THE DETAILS.

>> THE SUPREME COURT ALLOWED PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO ENFORCE THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT FOR NOW, HANDING THE WHITE HOUSE A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY THAT LETS IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS RELY ON THE SWEEPING WARTIME AUTHORITY TO RAPIDLY DEPORT ALLEGED GANG MEMBERS.

THE UNSIGNED DECISION IN THE CASE LET'S TRUMP INVOKE THE 1798 LOT TWO SPEED REMOVALS WHILE LITIGATION OVER THE ACTS USED PLAYS OUT IN LOWER COURTS.

THE COURTS THREE LIBERAL JUSTICES DISSENTED FROM THE DECISION AND JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT, A MEMBER OF THE COURT'S CONSERVATIVE WING PARTIALLY DISSENTED.

SONJA MAYOR, THE COURTS MOST SENIOR LIBERAL ARGUED THE TRUMP'S CONDUCT IN THE CASE POSES AN EXTRAORDINARY THREAT TO THE RULE OF LAW.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM ARE PRAISING THE DECISION.

>> THIS DECISION PROVES THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OUR ADMINISTRATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.

HE WILL CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT TO REMOVE FOREIGN TARRIFF .

>> THE COURT DID STRESS GOING FORWARD THE ACCUSED SHOULD RECEIVE NOTICE THEIR SUBJECT TO RAPID DEPORTATION AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR REMOVAL REVIEWED BY THE FEDERAL COURT WHERE THEY ARE BEING DETAINED.

THERE ARE GROWING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RECENT DEPORTATION WITH REVELATIONS THE ADMINISTRATION MISTAKENLY DEPORTED A MARYLAND FATHER TO EL SALVADOR BECAUSE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR.

THAT DEPORTATION TOOK PLACE UNDER A DIFFERENT LEGAL AUTHORITY, NOT THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT BUT UNDERSCORES THE TENSILE RISK OF RAPID DEPORTATIONS.

REPORTING AT THE WHITE HOUSE, JULIA BROOKE.

>> FIVE YEARS AFTER THE COVID- 19 PANDEMIC BEGAN MANY SAN DIEGO'S ARE STILL LIVING WITH THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS.

HE GOT COVID AT WORK BEFORE THE VACCINE WAS AVAILABLE.

>> AS A RESULT I HAVE RESIDUALS I AM STILL SEEKING TREATMENT FOR.

EXPERTS SAY IT'S HARD TO TRACK, MANY PATIENTS ARE UNDIAGNOSED OR DON'T REALIZE WHAT'S WRONG.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COGNIZANT ISSUES, THEY ARE FORGETTING THINGS, CALLED BRAIN FOG.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH ENDURANCE ISSUES, MAINLY RESPIRATORY ISSUES, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARDIAC ISSUES.

>> CHRISTOPHER MANAGES THE LAW MESA REHAB CENTER.

HE SAYS THEY TREATED MORE THAN 120 LONG COVID PATIENT SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.

THEY PROVIDE PULMONARY THERAPY AND PHYSICAL REHAB.

PEOPLE COME INTO TEARS SAYING, I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK BUT I'M NOT THE SAME ANYMORE.

I DON'T HAVE THE ENDURANCE, THE STRENGTH >> THE REHABS CLINICAL DIRECTOR SAYS THERE IS NO OFFICIAL TEST TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION OR A STANDARDIZED TREATMENT PLAN FOR LONG COVID, WHICH CAN IMPACT NEARLY EVERY SYSTEM IN THE BODY.

SHE SAYS TOO OFTEN PATIENTS ARE REFERRED TO PHYSICAL THERAPY WITHOUT BEING PROPERLY EVALUATED FOR BREATHING ISSUES.

>> I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEND THE MESSAGE OUT TO DOCTORS THAT IF A PATIENT COMES IN WITH SHORTNESS OF BREATH DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SEND THEM TO PULMONARY REHAB.

>> LAW MESA REHAB IS ONLY ONE OF FIVE CLINICS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

>> THE SAD THING IS THERE'S ONLY 300 CLINICS LIKE THIS IN THE UNITED STATES.

WE SHOULD BE MORE PREPARED THAN THAT AND WE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE TAKING BETTER CARE OF THE PATIENTS WHO HAVEN'T RECOVERED FROM THE COVID.

>> DEV IS STILL DEALS WITH BLURRY VISION, LOSS OF TASTE OR SMELL AND RELENTLESS COUGH.

>> I HAVE HAD LONG COVID SINCE DECEMBER 2021.

>> CALIFORNIA, 1159 USED TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR WORKERS COMP IF THEY CAUGHT COVID ON THE JOB, THAT PROTECTION EXPIRED IN 2024.

NOW WORKERS HAVE TO PROVE THEY GOT COVID AT WORK.

PB SAYS, THAT MAKES IT TOUGHER FOR LONG COVID PATIENTS TO GET COVERAGE.

>> WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND ASKED FOR MORE VISITS, THESE ARE LONG- TERM PATIENTS.

>> DR. ALAN LEE IS A PSYCHIATRIST.

>> IS ANOTHER MEDICATION MY DOCTOR WANTS TO PRESCRIBE ME, IT IS 3000 A MONTH.

>> HE SAYS EVEN WITH HIS MEDICAL BACKGROUND IT'S HARD TO GET CARE AFTER BEING INFECTED WITH COVID IN 2022.

>> ONE OF THE STRUGGLES IS OF COURSE JUST WORKING WITH INSURANCE TO TRY TO GET THINGS AUTHORIZED, BECAUSE THESE TREATMENTS CAN BE EXPENSIVE.

ESPECIALLY FOR A NOVEL ILLNESS WHERE A LOT OF THE TREATMENTS ARE NOT YET APPROVED.

>> AFTER HEART RATE MONITOR CLAIM WAS DENIED BY HIS INSURANCE ARE NOT BEING FOULED PROPERLY, ALAN SAYS THE COMPANY SENT INTO COLLECTIONS.

>> AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, BEING REALLY TIRED AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, IT'S REALLY HARD TO TAKE CARE OF THESE KINDS OF THINGS.

>> FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR LONG COVID RESEARCH IS ALSO DWINDLING.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS PLANNING TO CLOSE THE OFFICE FOR LONG COVID RESEARCH AND CRACK THIS.

>> DR. LEE CANNOT WORK ANYMORE AND FINDS HIMSELF STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH HIS KIDS.

A FEW MINUTES ON THE PLAYGROUND CAN KNOCK HIM OUT FOR UP TO 14 HOURS IN BED.

REGARDLESS OF HOW TIRED I AM, THESE MOMENTS YOU ONLY HAVE SO LONG WITH YOUR CHILDREN SO IT'S ALWAYS WORTH IT.

>> WITH NO CLEAR ROAD MAP HEALTH EXPERTS SAY LONG COVID PATIENTS ARE LEFT TO NAVIGATE A SYSTEM THAT IS STILL LEARNING HOW TO MANAGE THIS COMPLEX CONDITION.

HEIDI DiMARCO KPBS NEWS .

>>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S SWEEPING TARIFFS PLAN SENT SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE GLOBAL MARKETS.

THE NEXT BIG IMPACT COULD BE ON CONSUMERS BOTTOM LINE.

KAREN IS IN WASHINGTON WITH A LOOK AT WHERE TARIFFS COULD PINCH CONSUMERS WALLETS.

>> SOME SAY THE FIRST PLACE COULD BE THE GROCERY STORE.

>> HAVE A LOOK AT WHERE EACH OF THE GROCERY ITEMS YOU FIND CAME FROM.

WORD OF THE AVOCADOS COME FROM, WHERE DOES THE PARSLEY COME FROM?

A LOT OF IT COMES FROM ABROAD.

>> ESPECIALLY THE PRODUCE AISLE BECAUSE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES HAVE HIGH TURNOVER AND BANANAS FROM COSTA RICA AND GUATEMALA AND GRAPES FROM CHILE.

ALSO SEAFOOD, ABOUT 80% OF SEAFOOD COMES FROM COUNTRIES LIKE CANADA, CHILE, INDONESIA, VIETNAM ACCORDING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

FURTHER OUTLOOK A COFFEE PRICES PERKING UP.

THE NATIONAL COFFEE PRICES MORE THAN 99% OF U.S. COFFEE IS IMPORTED.

AT BIG BOX RETAIL IS THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION ESTIMATES CURRENT RETAIL INVENTORIES OF ITEMS LIKE LAPTOPS AND LET TABLETS WILL LAST ABOUT 3 TO 4 MONTHS.

PRINT PREDICTS HIGHER PRICES COULD ARRIVE IN LATE SUMMER IN TIME FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON.

THE TORREY ASSOCIATION SAYS A SIMILAR TIMELINE FOR TOYS, WHICH THEY SAY THE U.S.

IMPORTED BY THE BILLIONS FROM CHINA AND VIETNAM LAST YEAR.

THAT UNDERSCORES WHY ECONOMISTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW BROAD TARIFFS COULD CRIMP CONSUMER SPENDING'S, BUSINESSES, AND THE U.S. ECONOMY.

>> MASSIVE TAX INCREASE ON AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

MILLIONS OF HOUSEHOLDS, AND IT CRUSHES INSTANCES TO SELL TO THOSE CONSUMERS BUT YOU BUY A LOT OF PRODUCT THERE PRODUCING.

ONLINE MARKET ENSURE A FIGHT EXPECT THE COST OF FULL COVERAGE CAR INSURANCE TO INCREASE BY 8% BY THE END OF 2025.

THE ANALYSIS LOOKS SPECIFICALLY AT HOW MUCH CARS IN INDIVIDUAL PARTS WILL COST.

>> INSURANCE I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY HIGH SO I WENT WINDOW SHOPPING FOR OTHERS AND THEN I REALIZED THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE NORM RIGHT NOW.

SO YEAH, THAT'S A LITTLE SCARY BUT IT'S ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK.

I CAN WALK BUT DO I WANT TO SPEND THREE HOURS GETTING FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER?

>> THE INSURANCE INFORMATION INSTITUTE SAYS IF AUTO INSURANCE TO SEE PREMIUMS THEY WON'T SEE RATE CHANGES UNTIL THEY ARE UP FOR RENEWAL.

NEW CHANGES WON'T BE IMPLEMENTED ON EXISTING POLICIES.

THE EXPERTS SAY THE SOONER YOU START THE BETTER BECAUSE IT CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO COMPLETE.

>> I'VE SEEN SOME PEOPLE TAKE UP TO 30 HOURS JUST BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE TIME SLOT IS CONFUSING.

>> TRAVIS IS A TAX ACCOUNTANT AND HE SAYS YOU CAN FOUL FOR AN EXTENSION BUT ONCE THERE MAY BE FEES.

>> THERE IS A PENALTY FOR UNDERPAYMENT IF YOU HAVE AN UNDER AMOUNT OF THE THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE.

IT IS CALLED UNDERPAYMENT PENALTY.

>> IF YOU OWE MORE TAXES THAN YOU CAN AFFORD YOU CAN APPLY FOR A PAYMENT PLAN THROUGH THE IRS'S WEBSITE BUT THE IRS RECOMMENDS YOU PAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE DOING THAT.

>> THE AGREEMENTS ARE USUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE UP TO 18 MONTHS AND CAN BE SPENT OVER TIME.

>> ACCORDING TO THE IRS THE PENALTY TO FOUL LATE IS 5% PER MONTH ON THE UNPAID BALANCE, BUT IF YOU WORK WITH THE IRS AND PAY AT LEAST SOME OF WHAT IS OWED YOU CAN MINIMIZE THE LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES.

BE WARNED, THE INTEREST RATE IS 7% PER YEAR.

>> ENCOURAGED TO PAY AS SOON AS YOU CAN IN ORDER TO AVOID ADDITIONAL PENALTIES OR CONSEQUENCES.

>> FILING YOUR TAXES WILL TAKE LONGER FOR ANYONE WHO'S HAD A LIFE-CHANGING EVENT IN 2024 LIKE GETTING MARRIED OR HAVING A CHILD.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH I AM JENN SULLIVAN.

>>> RENTERS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL BE PROTECTED FROM INFECTION DURING LOCALLY DECLARED EMERGENCY.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS GAVE FINALS APPROVAL FOR AN ITEM BROUGHT FORWARD BY MONICA MONTGOMERY STAFF.

HER DISTRICT IS THE ONE THAT WAS HEAVILY IMPACTED BY LAST YEAR'S FLOODING.

THE NEW PROTECTION TAKES PLACE IN 30 DAYS AND IT PREVENTS EVICTIONS FOR AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS FOR THOSE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTER OR OTHER EMERGENCY.

YOU WOULD ALSO PAUSE ANY EVICTIONS THAT ARE ALSO PENDING.

>>> A FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM THAT WOULD REDUCE WILDFIRE RISK IN CALIFORNIA WINE COUNTRY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.

FEMA ANNOUNCED THE CANCELLATION OF BUILDING RESILIENCE INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITIES LAST WEEK IN A STATEMENT CALLING THE PROGRAM, WASTEFUL AND INEFFECTIVE.

NAPA COUNTY OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE MOVE IS PART OF A DOGE CUTS.

FARMERS AND OFFICIALS SAY GETTING RID OF THE PROGRAM PUTS FUNDING FOR WILDFIRE PREVENTION AT RISK.

>> THIS IS ABOUT A $50 MILLION INVESTMENT TOTAL FOR THE COUNTY OF NAPA.

ALL FOCUS ON REALLY MITIGATING LARGE-SCALE WILDFIRES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

>> IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN.

FIRES IS A CONSTANT REALITY WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IN NAPA COUNTY.

IF WE DON'T GET AHEAD OF THAT EARLY WITH PREVENTION THEN YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCE.

>> ACCORDING TO FEMA'S STATEMENT, FUNDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISTRIBUTED WILL BE RETURNED TO THE DISASTER RELIEF FUND OR THE U.S. TREASURY.

AFTER THAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND THERE WILL BE A CHANCE AND SOME RISK OF FIRE DANGER SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY ACROSS PARTS OF THE ROCKIES, SO HEADS UP FOR THAT AS WE HEAD INTO THAT WE CAN.

OVERALL HERE FOR YOUR COLD STORE FORECAST IT WILL BE PRETTY NICE ON TRACKING SUNNY SKIES, HIGHS IN THE 70s FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A DIP AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60s FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BUT OVERALL IT'S LOOKING LIKE AN A+ FORECAST.

IT WILL BE VERY WARM FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY BUT TEMPERATURES TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF A TUMBLE ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BUT STILL IT'S GOING TO BE NICE AND SUNNY HERE ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS.
