AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS, DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY, AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> PLANS FOR A NEW FIRE STATION IN SAN DIEGO ARE COMING UNDER SCRUTINY.

YOU FOR JOINING US.

THOSE RAISING CONCERN INCLUDE LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS.

ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THE DISPUTE IS OVER THE STATION LOCATION.>> CITY OFFICIALS WANT TO BUILD THEIR NEXT FIRE STATION HERE, AT THE CORNER OF FAIRMOUNT AND 47th ST., IN THE WEBSTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE LAND IS UNDEVELOPED, AND SITS ATOP THE EDGE OF A PRISTINE CANYON.

RESIDENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS GATHERED ON WEDNESDAY TO VOICE OPPOSITION TO THE CITY PLANS.

THEY SAY THAT NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS A NEW FIRE STATION, BUT IT BELONGS ON LAND THAT IS ALREADY DEVELOPED, AND EASIER TO BUILD ON.>> WE NEED TO ANALYZE OTHER SITES.

A CHEAPER, BETTER ALTERNATIVE WILL PREVAIL.

>> THE CANYON BELOW WHERE THE FIRE STATION WOULD BE BILLED IS WHERE SAN DIEGO WANTS TO CREATE A NEW REGIONAL PARK THAT WOULD FEATURE HIKING TRAILS THAT WOULD GIVE RESIDENCE WITHOUT MUCH PARK SPACE TODAY GREATER ACCESS TO NATURE.

SAVANNA STALLINGS SAYS THE CANYON IS HOME TO MULTIPLE ENDANGERED SPECIES THAT WOULD BE DISTURBED BY THE NOISE AND LIGHT POLLUTION THAT WOULD COME FROM A FIRE STATION.>> BY REPLACING THE CANYON WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, WE ARE ALSO REDUCING FLOOD RISK, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN.>> THE CITY SAYS IT IS WORKING ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE FIRE STATION.

THE FIRST DRAFT IS DUE OUT SOMETIME EARLY NEXT YEAR.

IN THE MEANTIME, RESIDENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS SAY THE CAMPAIGN IS JUST GETTING STARTED.

>>> YESTERDAY, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT MADE MOST MIGRANTS WHO ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY AND ELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM.

JOINING US TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS DEPARTMENT IS GUSTAVO, TELL US WHAT THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES.>> IT ESSENTIALLY CREATES AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, ANYTIME MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY, THE NEW RESTRICTIONS KICK IN, AS HE SAID, TO MAKE PEOPLE WHO CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY INEVITABLE FORCE ASYLUM, AND ACCESS WILL BE RESTORED UNTIL NUMBERS DROPPED ONTO 1500 PER DAY.

JUST FOR CONTEXT, THAT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC.

IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THIS EMERGENCY SITUATION WILL GET RESTORED ANYTIME SOON.>> WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESPONSE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE?>> NOT GREAT FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE VULCANS ARE HANDWRINGING, SINGER DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH, DEMOCRATS SAY IT GOES FAR TOO HARD.

ADVOCATES ARE CALLING THIS A BETRAYAL, JOE BIDEN RAN A CAMPAIGN ON RESTORING A SYSTEM THAT THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION HAD DONE AWAY WITH, REALLY NOT GREAT, OAKLEY, TODD GLORIA IS SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT IN HIS EFFORTS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE SHIFT.

WHY IS IT HAPPENING NOW?

>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATS, AND WHO IS CROSSING, AND APPREHENSIONS, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE DOWN ALL SUMMER.

CYNICAL MINDS SAY THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE UPCOMING ELECTION.

THE FIRST DEBATE IS AROUND THE CORNER, BIDEN WANT SOMETHING TO POINT TO AND SAY HEY, LOOK, I'M DUMB DUMB - - HEY, LOOK, I'M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE BORDER.

THEY HAVE TO DO THIS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE, THEY ARE BLAMING PUBLICANS FOR OBSTRUCTING THE BIPARTISAN IMMIGRATION BILL, THAT'S WHAT SIN EAGLE COUNCILMAN MARK LEVIN HAD TO SAY.>> BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF RATIONAL ACTION, I THINK THE PRESIDENT WAS LEFT WITH VERY LITTLE CHOICE HERE, THE SITUATION AT THE BORDER TODAY IS UNTENABLE.>> GUSTAVO, I'M SURE THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE REACTION ACROSS THE BOARD IN TIJUANA.>> WE WON'T KNOW FOR DAYS OR WEEKS TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT ON THE GROUND.

IN TIJUANA, THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT A BOTTLENECK SITUATION.

TIJUANA IS A CITY OF MIGRANTS.

THEY ARE GETTING PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH TRYING TO GO NORTH, THEY ARE GETTING DEPORTEES HEADING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.

THEY ARE WORRIED WITH THE ASYLUM BAND, MIGRANTS WON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO, THEY ARE GOING TO BE GETTING MORE PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH, MORE PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH, THEY MIGHT GET IN A SITUATION WHERE THE MIGRANT SHELTERS GET FILLED UP.

THERE ARE MORE CAMERAS ON THE STREETS, LIKE WE SAW A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

THEY ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT.

>> I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE OF YOUR REPORTING, THANKS, GUSTAVO.>>> FORTUNATE, WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW OF 62, NOT TOO SHABBY, WE ARE STILL HANGING ONTO THOSE LOW CLOUDS NEAR THE COAST.

THAT WILL OF COURSE CAUSE SOME TRAVEL PROBLEMS LATE AND EARLY IN THE DAY, SO HEADS UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING IN THOSE AREAS.

A LITTLE BIT FURTHER EAST, INLAND AREAS ARE HEATING UP, WE WILL TELL YOU HOW HOT THESE AREAS ARE GOING TO GET OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

>>> SOME LOW INCOME SENIORS WHO HAD BEEN LIVING IN A HOTEL FOR THE LAST YEAR FINALLY MOVE BACK INTO THEIR HOMES IN CATHEDRAL PLAZA, BUILT IN THE 70s.

THE TILTING - - THE BUILDING HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO FOR 50 YEARS.

THE GROUP UPGRADED FLOORING, WALLS, ELECTRONICS, AND PLUMBING FOR 225 UNITS, EACH OCCUPIED BY A LOW INCOME SENIOR.>> OUR SENIORS VERY LITERALLY BUILD THIS COMMUNITY FOR US, THE VERY LEAST WE CAN DO IS MAKE SURE IN THE SUNSET OF THEIR LIFE, AFTER THEY'VE PROVIDED FOR US, WE GIVE THEM A SAFE AND SECURE WAY TO ENJOY THEIR SUNSET YEARS.

>> THE $93 MILLION AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY PRIVATE INVESTMENTS, STATE TAX CREDITS, AND BONDS.

>>> THE OTAY MESA BATTERY STORAGE FIRE WAS FULLY ASKED TO US LAST WEEK, BUT THE FALLOUT CONTINUES.

SOME RESIDENTS SAY FIRE HIGHLIGHTS THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT A PROPOSED BATTERY STORAGE FACILITY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

ALEXANDER TALKS TO AN EXPERT ABOUT THOSE CONCERNS, AND HOW A RECENT NEWS DEVELOPMENT COULD DERAIL THE PROJECT.>> AT THE HOSPITAL, RIGHT THERE, A QUARTER OF A MILE AWAY, THIS WOULD EXTEND ALL THE WAY DOWN THIS DIRECTION, PAST THAT HOUSE.>> JOE IS THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT.

HE HAS DEVELOPED LARGE-SCALE ENERGY FACILITIES FOR THE COMPANY, INCLUDING BATTERY STORAGE.

HE SAYS THE BATTERY STORAGE PROJECT IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHERE A POTTERY FACILITY SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED.

SO THEY SHOULD NOT BE NEAR RESIDENCES, HOSPITALS, OR SCHOOLS.

>> HE SAYS LARGE-SCALE FACILITIES SHOULD BE IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS 22 1/2 ACRES.

IT'S ALSO NEAR PALOMAR HOSPITAL.

>> THE LARGER THE FACILITY, THE MORE LIKELY FIRES WILL OCCUR, AND THE MORE FREQUENTLY FIRES WILL OCCUR, SO TO PUT A FACILITY LIKE THIS, JUST A QUARTER-MILE DIRECTLY UPWIND FROM A MAJOR MEDICAL FACILITY, RIGHT NEXT TO RESIDENCES ON ALL THREE SIDES, IT'S REALLY A BAD IDEA.

>> AND THESE ARE NOT TYPICAL FIRES.

>> ARTERIES BURN WITH HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, HYDROGEN CYANIDE.

>> WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH WATER, IT FORMS HYDROFLUORIC ACID.

IT'S ONE OF THE STRONGEST ASSETS KNOWN.

THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY RESIDENTS HERE ARE OPPOSED TO THE PROJECT, AS EVIDENCED BY THE SIGNS THAT LINE THE STREET NEAR THE PROPOSED SITE.

IT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY PALOMAR HEALTH IS AGAINST IT, RECENTLY ANNOUNCING THAT THEY WILL NOT APPROVE AN EASEMENT FOR THE BUDGET.

RIGHT THERE IS THE PROPOSED SITE, 1300 FEET FROM THE HOSPITAL.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE UPWIND.

THE TOXIC FUMES CAN BE SEEN HERE.

>> THERE'S ONLY TWO WAYS THE DISTRICT CAN RESPONSE TO AN EMERGENCY, EITHER SHELTER IN PLACE, OR TOTAL EVACUATION.

JOE GRIFFIN IS A FORMER FIREFIGHTER.

HE SAYS THE OTAY MESA BATTERY FIRE REALLY CEMENTED THE DECISION FOR HIM.>> WE ARE ON THE WINDWARD SIDE OF IT.

THE BILLOWING WIND WOULD MOST LIKELY CARRY ANY TOXIC SMOKE BYPRODUCTS RIGHT INTO THE CAMPUS.

WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOOD TO PUT THE COMMUNITY AT RISK, AND DIFFERENTLY NOT TO PUT PATIENTS AT RISK.

>> THE PROJECT MAKES THE EASEMENTS CONNECT THROUGH PART OF THE PALOMAR PROPERTY.

DEPENDING - - THE PERMITTING DIRECTOR FOR THE PROJECT SAYS IT IS EVALUATING ALL VIABLE OPTIONS.

WE ARE EAGER TO CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS AS WE ADVANCE THE DESIGN AND PERMITTING FOR THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT.

>>> DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN CLOSE IN ON THEIR PARTY'S NOMINATIONS, DESPITE CONCERNS OVER A 2020 REMATCH.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 P.M., AFTER EVENING EDITION, ON KPBS.>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN FRANCE, COMMEMORATING EIGHT DECADES SINCE AMERICAN TROOPS WERE AMONG AN ALLIED COALITION THAT STORMED NORMANDY IN 1944, TERMING THE TIDE AGAINST GERMANY DURING WORLD WAR II.

AS LAURA EXPLAINS, THE PRESIDENT WILL BE JOINED BY VETERANS WHO REMEMBER D-DAY FIRSTHAND.>> PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TOUCHED DOWN IN PARIS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.

IN THE DAYS AHEAD, HE AND FIRST LADY DR. JILL BIDEN WILL JOIN THE FRENCH PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE FOR A NUMBER OF EVENTS HONORING THE BRAVERY AND SACRIFICE OF ALLIED TROOPS DURING WORLD WAR II, SPECIFICALLY D-DAY, JUNE 6, 1944, WHEN AMERICANS WERE AMONG THE COALITION FORCES THAT ENTERED FRANCE THROUGH THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY ON A MISSION TO PUSH BACK THE ADVANCE OF GERMANY.

SOME OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN HAVE ALSO RETURNED, THEY ARE AMONG THE FEW REMAINING WORLD WAR II VETERANS STILL ALIVE TO TELL THEIR STORIES.>> ALL THESE PEOPLE, THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE VETERANS AND WHAT OUR COUNTRY TRULY MEANS.

>> TONY WAS IN THE NAVY WHEN HE TOOK PART IN THE NORMANDY INVASION.

HE IS NOW 101 YEARS OLD.

HIS PRIDE IS STILL AS STRONG AS EVER.

HIS DAUGHTER TRAVELED WITH HIM.>> IT'S PROBABLY HIS LAST TIME, HONORING ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED.>> THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE PRESIDENT WILL DELIVER A MAJOR SPEECH ON FRIDAY THAT FOCUSES ON GLOBAL THREATS TO DEMOCRACY, THREATS THAT REVERBERATE WITH MANY VETERANS, ONE OF WHOM HAS THIS MESSAGE FOR HIS FELLOW AMERICANS.>> I ONLY WISH THAT PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD APPRECIATE THIS COUNTRY.

>>> BILL NYE, THE SCIENCE GUY ONCE SAID TO LEAVE THE WORLD BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PICK UP OTHER PEOPLES TRASH.

WE SPOKE TO A RETIRED SCIENCE TEACHER WHO STARTED A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM TO DO JUST THAT, CLEANING UP OTHER PEOPLE'S LETTER.

>> SOMETIMES, YOU GO THROUGH A FIELD LIKE THIS, AND IT LOOKS CLEAN, YOU CAN FIND A BANDAGE OR A HAIR TIE, YOU WONDER WHAT ATHLETE WAS HERE, WHAT HAPPENED.

IT'S STILL LITTER.

MY NAME IS GARY BLOOM, I STARTED AN ULTRA STICK CONSERVATION PROJECT.

THE NAME OF THE PROJECT IS THE TOTAL ALL TOURISM PROJECT.

IT IS ABOUT MAKING IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE TO PICK UP LITTER IN A PARK AND EXPRESS THEIR ULTRA STICK NATURE.

I STARTED IT IN 2017.

A PERSON WALKING THROUGH THE PARK COULD PICK UP A LITTER GRABBING TOOL, THEY CAN PICK UP LITTER AND PUT IT IN THE NET, COME TO THE TRASH CAN AND DEPOSIT IT.

THE PROJECT CAME AFTER 23 YEARS OF AN ISSUE I WAS TRYING TO DEAL WITH, WITHIN MYSELF.

CAN BE AN ISSUE THAT MANY DEAL WITH, IT CAN BE SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, IT COULD BE WEIGHT LOSS OR HEALTH ISSUES, JUST THINGS THAT WAY ON YOUR MIND ALL THE TIME.

IN THIS CASE, IT WAS AN ISSUE I HAD WITH MY PARENTS, OKAY?

AND I HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP THAT DRAGGED ME DOWN FROM 23 YEARS.

LIKE I SAID, IT IS AN ISSUE THAT EVERYONE HAS IN THEIR LIFE.

I FOLLOWED A PROCESS, I OVERCAME IT, AND WITHIN A DAY OR SO, THIS IDEA CAME TO ME, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, I WAS FOLLOWING MY HEART, THAT'S WHAT I DID, AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE BARRIER ON THIS PROJECT.

DOORS ARE OPEN.

I MEAN IT'S NOT EASY TO GET INVOLVED IN A PARK, BUT THAT WAS JUST SO EASY TO DO, EVERYTHING JUST WORKS OUT.

I WAS WALKING IN THE PARK ONE DAY WITH MY DOG, I PICKED UP A PIECE OF LITTER, I WENT TO THROW IT AWAY, AND SOMEONE THANKED ME FOR IT.

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WELL, THAT MADE ME FEEL GOOD, MADE THEM FEEL GOOD, MADE ME FEEL BETTER, HOW CAN I REPLICATE THAT, SO MORE PEOPLE CAN FEEL GOOD?

THE TOTAL ALL TOURISM PROJECT STATION IS A CITY REGULATED SIGN WITH CONDITIONS AND SLATS IN IT, I HANG UP THESE LITTER GRABBING TOOLS IN THE SLATS.

I USUALLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR OF THEM PER STATION, TO ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH THE PARK TO HANG THEM UP ON THE EXTRA ONES, AND PEOPLE JUST WALK AROUND WITH THESE THINGS AND HANG THEM UP WHEN THEY ARE DONE.

USUALLY VERY CLOSE TO A TRASH CAN, TO MAKE IT EASY TO DO.

WHAT I'M HOPING FOR IS THAT SOMEONE WILL WALK BY THE SIGN, STOP AND READ IT, AND TRY IT OUT.

THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT.

I HAVE THESE GRABBERS IN FOR CITY PARKS, IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HERE.

I HAVE PERMISSION TO PUT THEM IN MANY MORE PERKS.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE THAT ADDED, THEY MIGHT SAY IT'S NOT MY TRASH, I'M NOT GOING TO PICK IT UP.

IN THE COMMUNITY, MOST PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HEARTS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

WHAT ALSO FEELS GREAT HIS HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT ON NEXT DOOR, AND SAY DID YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PARK WITH THESE LITTER GRABBING TOOLS?

WHAT I WAS REALLY HOPING TO COMPASS WITH THE TOTAL ALL TOURISM PROJECT IS FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL CAN REALLY MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE WORLD BY FOLLOWING THEIR HEART AND DOING GOOD THINGS, AND THE SMALLEST ACT OF KINDNESS, PICKING UP A PIECE OF LITTER IS HAVING A RIPPLE EFFECT.

>> AS THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER KICKS OFF, THE HEAT DOME IS BRINGING US TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES.

HEAT ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

JENN SULLIVAN HAS DETAILS ON HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST.>> A SIZZLING START TO METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER, AND PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST, TEMPERATURES ARE SOARING INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

MORE THAN 17 MILLION AMERICANS IN CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, UTAH AND ARIZONA ARE UNDER EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS.

TEMPERATURES COULD BE NEAR 112 DEGREES, AND THIS IS THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER.

>> THIS IS WHAT THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, GOING FORWARD.

>> THESE TEMPERATURES ARE 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, DANGEROUS TEMPERATURES CAUSED BY A HEAT DOME, WHICH IS A LARGE HIGH- PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT SITS OVER A SPECIFIC AREA, AND TRAPS IN AIR AND HEAT.

LAST SUMMER, 645 PEOPLE IN ARIZONA DIED FROM HEAT RELATED DEATHS, MAKING IT THE DEADLIEST ON RECORD ACCORDING TO COUNTY OFFICIALS.

MANY WORRIED THIS COULD BE ANOTHER DANGEROUS SUMMER FOR HEAT.>> ALL SIGNS POINT TO THIS SUMMER BEING HOTTER THAN LAST YEAR.

THE UNSEASONABLY HOT WEATHER IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING AREAS PRONE TO WILDFIRES.

IN TRACY, ONE HOUR DUE WEST OF SAN FRANCISCO, FIREFIGHTERS ARE BATTLING THE CORRAL FIRE, WHICH HAS BURNED 14,000 ACRE SINCE SATURDAY.

THE SEARING TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY MAKING CONDITIONS WERE.

>> AS TEMPERATURES RISE, SO DOES THE RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS, AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS CAN MAKE A PERSON EVEN MORE VULNERABLE TO THE HEAT.

MANDY HAS MORE ON WHAT MEDICATIONS DON'T MIX WELL WITH THE HEAT, AND WHAT PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE TO STAY SAFE.>> HIGH TEMPERATURES, HEAT AND HUMIDITY, IT CAN ALL AFFECT THE BODY.

SOME MEDICATIONS CAN POSE AN ADDED DANGER.

>> MEDICATIONS THAT DECREASE YOUR BODIES ABILITY TO SEND BLOOD OUT TO THE SKIN AND THEN SWEAT OFF THAT FLUID TO HELP RELEASE A LOT OF THAT HEAT, THAT'S REALLY WHY.>> DR. KEVIN WATKINS SAYS MEDICATIONS THAT CAN CAUSE HEAT INTOLERANCE INCLUDE DIURETICS, HEART MEDICATIONS LIKE BLOOD PRESSURE DRUGS, ANTIHISTAMINES, DECONGESTANTS, ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIDEPRESSANTS, AND ANTIPSYCHOTICS.>> WE WORRY MOST ABOUT HEATSTROKE ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE HEAT WAVES.

>> EVERYONE CAN PROTECT AGAINST EXTREME HEAT BY WEARING LOOSEFITTING CLOTHING, KEEP YOUR HOUSE COOL, FINDING AIR CONDITIONING IN A PUBLIC PLACE IF YOUR HOME DOESN'T HAVE IT.

AVOID STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS IN HIGH HEAT, AND STAY HYDRATED.

IF YOU GET A HIDE - - IF YOU GET TRAGEDY, YOU ARE REALLY HURTING YOUR BODY.>> EXPERTS SAY MAKE SURE TO STORE YOUR MEDICINE PROPERLY.>> IN A PLACE THAT IS AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT, IDEALLY IN A CLOSED AREA.

>> I WANT TO START YOU OFF WITH THE WEATHER HEADLINES, AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK.

WE DO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THROUGH THE DESERTS, THAT MEANS THIS HEAT IS DANGEROUS, LIFE-THREATENING, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF WITH THIS EXTREME HEAT.

THE HEAT WILL REACH A PEAK ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ACROSS THE REGION.

COASTAL AREAS REMAIN COOLER.

WE WILL HAVE THOSE LOW CLOUDS, THE MARINE LAYER KEEPING THINGS ON THE MORE COMFORTABLE SIDE AS OPPOSED TO AREAS FURTHER EAST.

AS FOR TONIGHT, OCEANSIDE, SAN DIEGO, 62, RAMONA, 59, BORREGO SPRINGS, 74.

AT LEAST WE ARE DROPPING DOWN THROUGH THE 70s, CATCHING SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT, BUT WE STILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT WARMING, AND THIS IS GOING TO LAST THROUGH FRIDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE THE HISTORIC AVERAGES.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IN THE HEAT.

ALSO, THERE IS AN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER RISK, IT'S STILL DRY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST, AND EVEN THROUGH PARTS FURTHER NORTH, MAKE SURE, OF COURSE, THAT YOU ARE TAKING PRECAUTIONS.

THE HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT ACROSS THE INLAND EMPIRE, BUT EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS ARE UP AND DOWN THE DESERTS, FROM BORREGO SPRINGS TO COACHELLA VALLEY.

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE LAST THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

WE ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE STAYING HYDRATED.

WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE , IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THINGS ALONG, BORREGO SPRINGS AT 109, SAN DIEGO, VIRAGO SPRINGS AT 71.

IF YOU WANT TO COOL OFF, HEAD TOWARD THE COAST.

INTENSE HEAT ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

I WANT TO BRING OUT THE TEMPERATURES AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE FEELING EVEN HOTTER ACROSS OUR DESERTS.

ANYWHERE OVER 100, WE ARE DIPPING INTO THOSE TRIPLE DIGIT TEENS ACROSS ARTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

ALONG THE COAST, YOUR FIVE DAY OUTLOOK, TEMPERATURES ARE REALLY NOT SO BAD, THAT WE ARE STILL HANGING ONTO LOW CLOUDS.

SIMILAR STORY TELLER FURTHER INLAND, HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80s, ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL GOING TO BE WARM.

OVERALL, THEY DON'T REALLY CHANGE MUCH, EVEN HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES DROP A LITTLE BIT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND FOR THE MOUNTAINS, THAT REALLY NOT BY MUCH.

MONDAY, WE ARE IN THE 80s.

AS FOR THE DESERTS, 109 ON THURSDAY, 108 ON FRIDAY, IT IS GOING TO BE HOT, HOT, HOT.

TEMPERATURES DO COME DOWN SLIGHTLY, BUT IT IS STILL GOING TO BE HOT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.>>> AFTER CLOSING DOZENS OF STORES ACROSS CALIFORNIA, RUBIO'S FINANCIAL WOES CONTINUE.

THE COASTAL GRILL ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT IS FILING FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY, CITING RISING COSTS IN CALIFORNIA.

THE FAST FOOD MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE THEY SAY WAS THE FINAL STRAW.

CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY DEFERS FROM CHAPTER 7, IN WHICH A BUSINESS GOES BELLY UP.

OUR MEDIA PARTNER, KG TV SPOKE TO A BUSINESS LAW PROFESSOR, WHO EXPLAINS THAT CHAPTER 11 IS MORE LIKE A PAUSE.>> WHAT IT DOES RIGHT AWAY, IT CREATES AN AUTOMATIC STAY, CREDITORS CAN'T COLLECT ON DEBTS, YOU CAN'T REPOSSESS PROPERTY OR ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF FORECLOSURE, AND SO IT PUTS THE ASSETS BASICALLY UNDERNEATH A SHELF FOR THE TIME BEING.

CREDITORS CAN'T REACH THEM.

>> RUBIO'S IS ALSO CLOSING 48 UNDERPERFORMING LOCATIONS IN THE STATE, INCLUDING 13 STORES HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

THE FIRST EVER RUBIO'S RESTAURANT OPENED ON MISSION BAY MISSION BAY DR.

IN PACIFIC BEACH, BACK IN 1983.

OUR KPBS REPORTER SAYS CHEFS ARE CELEBRATING WITH GALAS, A FESTIVAL, AND A BOOK LAUNCH.>> IT'S A DISH YOU CAN FIND IN RESTAURANTS ACROSS THE WORLD.

ROMAINE LETTUCE, CRUNCHY CROUTONS, DRESSING MADE WITH LEMON OR LIME JUICE, ANCHOVIES, PARMESAN CHEESE, AND BLACK PEPPER.

IT'S NAME MIGHT MAKE YOU THINK OF AN ITALIAN EMPEROR, BUT THE CAESAR SALAD HAS ORIGINS IN TIJUANA.>> THE CREATOR OF THE SALAD CAME TO THIS PLACE WITH A PROVISION IN 1994, HE OPENED CAESARS RESTAURANT, THAT'S WHERE THEY CREATED THIS WONDERFUL RECIPE.

>> THE CHEF AND HIS FAMILY NOW RUN THAT RESTAURANT.

HE SAYS THEY MAKE 2500 SALADS PER WEEK, AND IT IS BEST EATEN WITH YOUR HANDS.

CHEFS FROM AROUND THE REGION ARE JOINING TO CELEBRATE THE SALAD NEXT MONTH.

FESTIVITIES INCLUDED GALA DINNERS AND THE LAUNCH OF THE COOKBOOK.

THE CHEF IS HELPING TO MAKE ONE OF THE DINNERS.

SHE SAYS SHE IS PROUD THAT MEXICO IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF A GLOBALLY BELOVED DISH.

>> IT HAS TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD, SO HAVE I, I SEE IT EVERYWHERE I GO, IT IS SUCH A PRIDE POINT FOR ME, TO SEE MY LITTLE MEXICAN FLAG IN EVERY SINGLE CAESAR SALAD.

OURS IS BETTER.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT SENSE OF PRIDE IN HOME.

>> WHAT TAKES OTHER CAESAR SALADS NOT UP TO SNUFF SNUFF?

DO THE WRONG MUSTARD, THE WRONG SECTORS, THE WRONG TEXTURE, IT SHOULD NOT BE MAILED, IT SHOULD BE RUNNING, IT SHOULD BE WELL- DRESSED, NOT JUST TOSSED.

YOU SHOULD EAT IT WITH YOUR HAND , IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ENJOYED.

>> THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION CONCLUDES WITH A FESTIVAL IN TIJUANA ON JULY 7.

A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO THE TIJUANA WITHOUT HUNGER FOUNDATION.

>> OH, BOY, THAT LOOKS GOOD.

HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON.
