>>> MAJOR FUNDING HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY COMPANIES PROVIDED BY SAN DIEGO, FLOODING AND REMODELING SERVICES FOR OVER 30 YEARS, VISIT HOW.COM.

AND BY THE CONRAD FOUNDATION AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> THE PADRES FACED THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS TONIGHT, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

EXCITEMENT HAS BEEN BUILDING ALL DAY AROUND THE BALLPARK AND REPORTER JOHN IS LIVE.

YOU TALKED TO SOME DIEHARD FANS THAT GOT IN LINE HOURS EARLY FOR A GOOD SEAT.

>> I SURE DID, LET'S SET THE SCENE.

NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT AS YOU MAY KNOW IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARK BUT LET'S TAKE A VIDEO ON HOW DIFFERENT IT LOOKED WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE, THAT WAS AT ABOUT 1230 THIS AFTERNOON AND THERE WAS NO ONE IN LINE AT THAT POINT BUT, IT WASN'T LONG UNTIL FANS STARTED SHOWING UP IN THE LINE STARTED GROWING.

AT ONE POINT IT STRETCHED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BLOCK AND THEN THE BIG MOMENT, 3:30 P.M.

WHEN THE GATES FLUNG OPEN, I AM TOLD THAT APPARENTLY THERE AREN'T THAT MANY ACTUAL SEATS, A LOT OF THE AREA IS STANDING ROOM ONLY.

THEY ARE HERE WITH THEIR MOM ALL THE WAY FROM HAWAII AND ANDREW GERMAN HAD A MUCH SHORTER DISTANCE TO TRAVEL.

WE WILL HEAR FIRST FROM THE BROTHERS 11 AND NINE YEARS OLD ABOUT THEIR WISHES TO THE GAME, I ASKED HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE TROUBLES WHEN SOME L.A.

FANS THROUGH THINGS.

>> HE HIT A GRAND SLAM.

>> HOME RUN.

>> JUST SORE LOSERS AND A LITTLE BIT OF ALCOHOL.

>> BACK OUT HERE LIFE WITH A SHOT THERE OF MR. PADRE.

THE GREATEST PADRE TO EVER PLAY THE GAME.

IT'S JUST BEEN ABOUT AN HOUR FROM NOW, OF COURSE THEY ARE HOPING TO SEND THE BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW HOME BACK TO L.A., THEY WILL BE HERE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S GAME BUT THE PADRES ARE HOPING THAT IT WILL BE A DISAPPOINTING END TONIGHT.

>> COMING UP TONIGHT AFTER ANOTHER WARM DAY WE WILL TALK ABOUT A GRADUAL COOLING TREND LOWER NEXT WEEK, WE WILL ALSO SEE THOSE DAILY WARNING CLOUDS, THOSE COULD HEAD A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WEST AS WE HAD TO THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS AND MORNINGS.

HE WILL HAVE IT ALL COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

SURGICAL CREWS ARE MAKING PROGRESS ON THE CAMPO FIRE, IT STARTED YESTERDAY AND HAS BURNED 350 ACRES, EVACUATION ORDERS AND WARNINGS ARE STILL IN EFFECT.

FIREFIGHTERS TOLD OUR MEDIA PLAYER THE FIRE RISK IN THE AREA WAS LIMITED TODAY.

>> THEY PLAY MULTIPLE FACTORS ON THE CONTAINMENT, ANYTIME YOU HAVE HIGHER TEMPERATURES, LOWER HUMIDITIES AS WELL AS WIND THAT INCREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER FIRE BEHAVIOR.

>> TWO PEOPLE WERE INJURED BUT NOT HAVING TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

>> HURRICANE MILTON IS EXPECTED TO DOUBLE IN SIZE BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL IN FLORIDA LATE TOMORROW.

LEE WALTMAN IS IN TAMPA WHERE MOST PEOPLE APPEAR TO BE LISTENING TO THE DIRE WARNINGS TO LEAVE NOW.

>> IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY, YOU ARE STAYING AT YOUR OWN RISK.

>> MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT HELENE BROUGHT ON FLORIDA'S GULF COAST LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO.

TAMPA FLORIDA IS A POSSIBLE LANDFALL SITE, THAT THEY ARE EVEN MORE BLUNT REGARDING THE DANGER.

>> IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY IN ONE OF THOSE EVACUATION AREAS, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.

>> THEY ARE ON THEIR 46th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

>> AND ALWAYS GOING TO THE SAFE PLACE THAT YOU CAN GO.

>> ALSO CRITICAL, CLEARING OUT DEBRIS LEFT BEHIND BY HELENE.

>> THIS MOVING COMPANY IS ONE OF MANY BEING COMMISSIONED TO WORK THE COASTAL AREAS.

>> WE COLLECTED CLOSE TO 100 TONS OF DEBRIS JUST YESTERDAY ALONE.

>> SOON THEY WILL HAVE TO STOP HELPING OTHERS AND SAVE THEMSELVES.

>> IF YOU ARE IN AN EVACUATION ZONE, PLEASE GET OUT.

>> JOHN MORALES MAY OFFER SOME CLARITY.

>> I APOLOGIZE, THIS IS JUST HORRIFIC.

>> IN TAMPA FLORIDA, KPBS NEWS .

>> LAWMAKERS ARE ALREADY PLAYING A POLITICAL BLAME GAME WITH ONGOING RECOVERY EFFORTS FROM THE LAST STORM.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THAT LATER.

OCEANSIDE POLICE HAVE PUT OUT A PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY AFTER A STRING OF ATTACKS TARGETING HOMELESS PEOPLE.

TWO OF THOSE ATTACKS WERE FATAL.

POLICE SAY THEY ALL HAPPENED WITHIN TWO MILES OF EACH OTHER IT IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER THEY ARE RELATED.

THE TWO MEN WHO WERE KILLED WERE FOUND THIS PAST WEEKEND, BOTH HAD SUFFERED BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA.

THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER ATTACK IN THE AREA JUST THIS LAST MONTH AND ONE MAN WAS STABBED.

>>> THERE WAS RECENTLY A VETOED BILL THAT COULD'VE SIGNIFICANTLY BOOSTED VOTER REGISTRATION.

LOCAL ADVOCACY GROUPS ARE UNDETERRED.

>> Reporter: THE SAME TO TARGET THE ELIGIBLE BUT UNREGISTERED VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA, WHEN PEOPLE WENT TO THE DMV TO RENEW THEIR LICENSE INSTEAD OF GETTING THE CHOICE TO OPT OUT, THEY WOULD'VE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED.

>> 50% OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PRESENTED WITH THIS QUESTION DO WANT TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

DURING THE TRANSACTION, 50% OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY DECLINED.

>> THAT WAS SYDNEY FROM THE CALIFORNIA GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY COALITION.

SHE IS ONE OF THE ADVOCATES WHO SAY A SECURE AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM WOULD'VE IMPROVED REGISTRATION.

VOTERS HIT HISTORIC LOWS WHICH IS WHY FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS RESPONDED WITH MOTOR VOTER LAWS.

WHILE THESE LAWS BOOSTED REGISTRATION IN CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES, IT WASN'T BY AS MUCH AS MANY HAD HOPED.

THAT IS WHERE THIS BILL HAD COME IN.

THEY HAD CRITICS, A COST AND A LACK OF CHOICE REGISTRATION FOR MAIN CONCERNS.

IT IS WHY HE VETOED THE BILL.

THE COST ARGUMENT ISN'T VALID.

>> I KNOW THERE WAS A MENTION ABOUT THE BUDGET CYCLE BUT, THE INTENTION OF THE AUTHOR OF THIS BILL WAS THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION OF SP 299 ALL THE WAY TO 2030 AND SO THIS BUDGET CYCLE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED AT ALL.

>> ALLIANCE AND THE DEMOCRACY ARE STILL FIGURING OUT NEXT STEPS.

>> THIS BATTLE DOESN'T END HERE, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE FIGHTING TO IMPROVE OUR SYSTEMS AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE SYSTEMS ARE PROTECTING THE MOST VULNERABLE AS WELL.

>> TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE, GO TO REGISTER TOVOTE.COM.

>> A FOLLOW-UP TO AN ONGOING STORY, THREATS AGAINST LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, LAST MONTH WE REPORTED ON NEW RESEARCH SHOWING THAT INSTAGRAM DOES LITTLE TO STOP HARASSMENT OF WOMEN POLITICIANS.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO HAS EXPANDED ITS STUDY OF HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION.

SHE JOINS US NOW.

YOU HAVE REPORTED ON THIS TOPIC QUITE A BIT.

>> WE HAVE QUITE A BODY OF WORK ON THIS ISSUE, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK RECAP OF THE PASS REPORTING, LAST YEAR USTR ASKED PEOPLE ABOUT HOW OFTEN PEOPLE TRY TO INTIMIDATE THEM.

THAT SURVEYED THEM REPORTED BEING THREATENED OR HARASSED COMPARED TO 82% OF THEIR FEMALE COUNTERPARTS AND TWO THIRDS OF THOSE POLLED SAID THE INTIMIDATION IS WORSENED SINCE THEY FIRST ENTERED OFFICE.

THE U.S.

HE BROUGHT UNDER THE PULL OF ELECTED OFFICIALS, IMPERIAL AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES AS WELL AND HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS.

TWO THIRDS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE THREE COUNTIES REPORTED BEING THREATENED AND HARASSED AND MORE THAN HALF THOUGHT IT WAS ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE TO CONTACT POLICE.

69% OF WOMEN SAID THEY WERE TARGETS MONTHLY COMPARED TO 30% OF MALE POLITICIANS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THAT WOMEN ARE BEARING THE BRUNT OF THE HOSTILITY, BACK IN MAY, I SPOKE TO JOHN, HE IS A RESEARCHER FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE WHICH OVER SAW THE STUDY AND HE ELABORATED ON WOMEN POLITICIANS AS TARGETS OF THREATS.

>> WOMEN ARE EXPERIENCING A VOLUME OF THREATS ALMOST A MAGNITUDE WORSE THAN MEN.

THE SECOND THING THAT I REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT OVER THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE STARTED TO HEAR MANY MORE REPORTS ABOUT HOSTILITY WITHIN THE BOARD.

THAT SOME OF THE HARASSMENT AND THREATS ARE COMING FROM PEOPLE WHO SERVE ON THE BOARD WITH PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO OUR SURVEYS.

>> SOME SOBERING INFORMATION.

WOMEN HAVE BEEN IN POLITICS FOR DECADES, ARE THESE KINDS OF THREATS REALLY THAT NEW?

>> THAT IS THE QUESTION AND THE ANSWER IS NO.

LAST YEAR I INTERVIEWED FORMER NATIONAL CITY MAYOR ALEXANDRA THE LEASE AND SHE SAID THERE WAS A MAN IN 2014 WHO USED TO REGULARLY HARASS HER AT COUNCIL MEETINGS AND SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS BEING ENCOURAGED, EGGED ON TO DO THIS BY A POLITICAL., A FELLOW MALE COLLEGE.

HERE SHE IS DESCRIBING HOW THAT MAN SPOKE TO HER OUTSIDE A COUNCIL MEETING 10 YEARS AGO.

>> YOU ARE A DOG ON A LEASH, YOU'RE WRONG.

>> OKAY SO TELL US, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY?

>> USD STATES THE PURPOSE IN THAT STUDY AND IT REITERATES THAT LOOK, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS DISSENT ANOTHER DELIBERATE USE TO INFLUENCE POLICY.

THE UNIVERSITY IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER WE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL ARE APPROACHING THAT LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF CROSSING THAT LINE OR HAVE ALREADY CROSSED IT INTO WHAT THEY CALLED FEAR-BASED GOVERNMENT.

THEY HAVE COLLECTED SOME DATA ON THE AFFECTIVE THREATS AND THAT INCLUDES A FINDING THAT ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY CENSORING THEMSELVES OR BEING SILENT ON POLICY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THIS INTIMIDATION AND MAIA, I HAD A SOBERING CONVERSATION LAST MONTH HE STARTED THE CENTER FOR COUNTERING DIGITAL HATE AND STUDYING HIGHLY TOXIC INSTAGRAM POST RELATED TO 10 WELL-KNOWN WOMEN POLITICIANS INCLUDING VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN AND HE HAS FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN, IF THIS ABUSE OF WOMEN POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS IN GENERAL IS LEFT UNCHECKED.

>> A COLLEAGUE OF MINE IN THE BRITISH ELEMENT WAS MURDERED BY A MAN WHO THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD USE BULLETS, KNIVES, AND HIS FIST TO BEAT TO DEATH A WOMAN WHO BELIEVES -- WITH THE BELIEFS THAT SHE HAD.

IF WE SEE THE NORMALIZATION OF EXTREME HATE AGAINST WOMEN.

>> MAIA, THE NAME OF THAT POLITICIAN IS JOE COX WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT UNTIL SHE WAS STABBED AND SHOT TO DEATH BY A WHITE SUPREMACIST.

ONE WAY YOU START TO DEAL WITH THE TOXICITY AIMED AT POLITICIANS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, IS TO REQUIRE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO ENFORCE THEIR OWN RULES ON THREATS AND HARASSMENT.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERY NECESSARY CONTEXT FOR -- TO AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.

>> THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP, YOU CAN FIND MORE OF OUR STORIES AT KPBS.ORG/PUBLIC MATTERS.

>>> VOTERS IN EAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL SOON CHOOSE A NEW ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO REPRESENT THEIR REGION.

KPBS REPORTS THAT IT IS DOWN TO TWO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES IN A GENERAL ELECTION.

>> REPUBLICANS ARE FACING ON TO REPRESENT ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 75.

THE DISTRICT ENCOMPASSES MOST OF THE COUNTY INCLUDING A 50 MILE STRETCH OF THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

>> HE PREVIOUSLY SERVED ON SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL AND HAS SINCE RUN UNSUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGNS FOR SAN DIEGO MAYOR AND TWO CONGRESSIONAL SEATS.

>> HE CAST HIMSELF AS A POLITICAL MAVERICK ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT.

>> WHAT WE NEED IS MORE TRANSPARENCY ON WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN THE STATE CAPITAL.

OUR STATE LEGISLATURE DOES NOT OPERATE IN AN OPEN MATTER WITH TRANSPARENCY.

AND THE SPECIAL INTEREST DOMINATE ALL OF THE DECISIONS, THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS RARELY HEARD.

>>'S TOP ISSUES INCLUDE ADDRESSING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN THE REGION, REDUCING CRIME AND PASSING LAWS THAT SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.

HAYES IS CURRENTLY PRESIDENT OF THE LAKESIDE SCHOOL BOARD.

HE PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS DISTRICT DIRECTOR FOR THE SENATE MINORITY LEADER, BRIAN JONES.

THIS EXPERIENCE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO GET THINGS DONE EVEN WHEN HE IS IN THE MINORITY.

>> I WANT TO FIND ISSUES OF COMMON GROUND.

THAT IS GOING TO TAKE ME WORKING THE PAVEMENT WHEN I FIRST GET ELECTED AND INTRODUCING MYSELF TO ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO ARE NOT REPUBLICAN AND SAYING A, WHERE DO WE AGREE?

AND THAT WILL HELP MY DISTRICT ON NUMEROUS ISSUES.

>>'S TOP ISSUES INCLUDE ADDRESSING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, INCLUDING FIRE ASSURANCE FOR VISITORS.

THE WINNER WILL REPLACE REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER WALDRON WHO IS SET TO TERM OUT.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> SAME-SEX MARRIAGES, THE LAW OF THE LAND, THE CONFLICTING LANGUAGE IS STILL IN CALIFORNIA'S CONSTITUTION AND VOTERS CAN FIX THAT.

EXPLAINING PROP THREE.

>> Reporter: DID YOU KNOW THAT WHILE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE HAS BEEN LEGAL FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, THE STATE CONSTITUTION STILL SAYS IT IS LIMITED.

THAT IS WHY SOME ADVOCATES FOR LGBTQ RATES ARE ASKED TO REMOVE THE OUTDATED LANGUAGE ONCE AND FOR ALL.

POLITICS REPORTER PROP THREE IN A MINUTE.

>> IT ALL STARTED IN 2004 WHEN SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR ISSUED MARRIAGE LICENSES TO SAME-SEX COUPLES.

IT SHOCKED THE NATION AND WITHIN MONTHS THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT SHOT IT DOWN.

>> MY HEART IS HEAVY BECAUSE TODAY, BASED UPON THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISIONS, THEIR RELATIONSHIPS AS IT RELATES TO THEIR STATUS AS A MARRIED COUPLE HAVE BEEN INVALIDATING.

>> CALIFORNIA VOTERS APPROVED PROPOSITION EIGHT DEFINING MARRIAGE OF STRICTLY BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.

A LEGAL BATTLE ENSUED.

IN 2013, A FEDERAL COURT ALLOWED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE TO RESUME IN CALIFORNIA.

THEY EQUALIZED MARRIAGE NATIONWIDE IN 2015.

AS A RESULT, PROPOSITION EIGHT IS NOW A ZOMBIE LAW, SOMETHING THAT IS VIRTUALLY UNENFORCEABLE BUT STILL REMAINS ON THE BOOKS IN CALIFORNIA.

>> A COUPLE OF STATE LAWMAKERS INTRODUCED PROP THREE LAST YEAR TO REMOVE THE LANGUAGE.

SUPPORTERS ARGUE THAT ESTABLISHING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WOULD GUARD AGAINST RULINGS THAT COULD UNDERMINE IT.

>> THEY ARGUE THAT THE PROPOSITION WITH FAMILY VALUES, CHILDREN DO BEST WHEN RAISED BY BOTH MOTHERS AND FATHERS.

THEY ALSO SAY THE MEASURE WOULD -- THEY FOUND NO SUCH THING.

>> VOTE YES ON PROP THREE IF YOU WANT THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION TO REFLECT.

BUT KNOW IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE LANGUAGE ON THE BOOKS.

>> WHAT IS A -- IT IS DOING IS PUTTING FEAR IN PEOPLE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM.

I WORRY THAT THEY WILL NOT REGISTER FOR ASSISTANCE FOR US.

>> Reporter: A WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS REACHED OUT TO FLORIDA'S REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MULTIPLE TIMES.

HE HAS NOT TAKEN HER CALLS.

>> AT THIS MOMENT, THESE BRIGHT SITUATIONS, THESE ARE THE HEIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN SITUATIONS IT IS JUST UTTERLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND IT IS SELFISH AND IT IS ABOUT POLITICAL GAIN.

>> THEY SAY THEY HAVE, QUOTE, NO ROLE AND SUGGESTED THAT SHE IS INSERTING HERSELF DUE TO THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

>> I HAVE HAD STORMS OVER BOTH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN, I WORK WELL WITH BOTH OF THEM, SHE IS THE FIRST ONE WHO IS TRYING TO POLITICIZE THE STORM.

>> HE HAS TOLD REPORTERS THAT HE IS THANKFUL FOR APPROVING EVERYTHING HIS STATE HAS NEEDED SO FAR.

WHEN BIDEN WAS IN FLORIDA LAST WEEK TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE ON THE GROUND, THEY DECLINED TO JOIN HIM.

AND SAID HOLDING HIS OWN PRESS CONFERENCE IN ANOTHER CITY.

>>> LET'S LOOK AT THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A GRADUAL COOLING TREND HERE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, THE VALLEY SHOULD BE ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES LOWER NEXT WEEK COMPARED TO WHERE WE HAVE BEEN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS ALONG THE COAST.

YOU ARE ALSO SEE TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES LOWER.

WE WILL KEEP THE LOW CLOUDS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHTS AND EARLY MORNINGS, THOSE WILL LIKELY SPREAD AS WE HAD THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

TONIGHT FORECAST ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WE ARE BACK DOWN TO THE LOWER 60s IN SAN DIEGO.

AND OCEANSIDE WILL DROP TO 50 DEGREES.

MOUNT LAGUNA, A COOLER 54.

PLENTY OF THE HEAT STILL ACROSS THE LOT OF THE SOUTHWEST INCLUDING OF COURSE THROUGH THE DESERT, WE WILL BE DEALING WITH THE HEAT CONTINUING AND WE WILL SEE THAT ACROSS A LOT OF THE FOURTH QUARTERS.

IT WILL BE ANOTHER TRIPLE DIGIT DAY, MOUNT LAGUNA INTO THE LOWER 70s, SAN DIEGO, 75.

YOU WILL ALSO SEE TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID-70s.

OUR PATTERN AS WE HAD LATER INTO THE WEEK, WE WILL SEE TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY COME ON DOWN.

ACROSS THE COAST HERE BUT THEN LOOK BY SUNDAY, TEMPERATURES ARE DOWN INTO THE UPPER 70s.

IT IS MUCH COOLER AS WE HEAD INTO THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

A HOT STRETCH ACROSS THE DESERT.

104 ON THURSDAY WE WRAP UP THE AND START THE WEEKEND >> A NEW CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES HAIRSTYLING BARBER AND COSMETOLOGY COURSES TO TRAIN FOR ALL TYPES AND TEXTURES OF HAIR.

>> Reporter: WHEN BRITNEY MOVED TO SAN DIEGO 10 YEARS AGO, SHE STRUGGLED TO FIND A STYLIST WHO KNEW HOW TO WORK WITH HER TIGHT COILS.

SHE RESORTED TO WHAT SHE CALLS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, WAKES.

SHE DECIDED TO BECOME THE STYLIST SHE COULDN'T FIND.

SHE WENT TO A WELL-KNOWN HAIR SCHOOL WHO SAID THEIR TECHNIQUES WORKED BEST ON STRAIGHT HERE.

THEY CUT THE HAIR WET.

>> THE WAY THAT CURLY HAIR REACTS WHEN IT'S WET IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, IT DOESN'T LIVE ANY TWO- DIMENSIONAL SPACE, AND LIVES IN A 3-D WORLD SO, YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SHRINKAGE.

>> SHE ENDED UP TEACHING HERSELF, SPENDING HOURS ON YOUTUBE AND FINALLY FELT CONFIDENT TO SHOW HER NATURAL HAIR.

>> TO NOT HAVE TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO PUT ON A HAT OR HIDE BEHIND SOMETHING TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN JUST WEARING WHAT IS NATURALLY MINE, IT'S LIBERATING.

>> SHE IS CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THIS NEW LAW.

>> I JUST HOPE THAT THESE SCHOOLS HIRE KNOWLEDGEABLE EDUCATORS AND REALLY INVEST IN PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE DOING CURLY HAIR.
