setting up shop in san francisco. [music] reaction to bloomingdale's decision to leave the city. plus. [music] >> i have one message for president trump. i'll see you in court. we are filed. our case is filed now as we speak. >> less than 24 hours into president trump's new term, the legal battle begins. california and more than a dozen other states lining up in court trying to block trump's move to end birthright citizenship. [music]. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is the four. >> president trump signed that executive order declaring that the u.s. government will no longer automatically grant citizenship to the children of undocumented parents, or even those who are temporarily lawful residents in this country that move to end birthright

citizenship, which has been a long standing guarantee in the constitution, is part of the president's immigration crackdown. welcome, everyone to the four this afternoon. i'm alex savage. >> and i'm greg lee. the executive order prompting immediate legal action. >> stands to impact more than 20,000 babies born each year in california. birthright citizenship is foundational to our nation's history. it's not new. not at all radical. >> california attorney general rob bonta announced california. 17 other states, the district of columbia and the city of san francisco are suing to block this executive order. birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the u.s. constitution under the 14th amendment, and has been for 150 years. legal scholars across the political spectrum agree that birthright citizenship is not something the president can eliminate with the stroke of a pen. >> this has to be purely symbolic, because any constitutional scholar or anybody who can just read the 14th amendment will will tell you that it's very clear. if you

are born in the united states, you are a u.s. citizen. it is in the very first sentence of the 14th amendment, and there is no way that this could possibly be anything other than signaling to his base about the importance of the immigration issue. >> now, to change the u.s. constitution, two thirds of both the house and senate need to approve it, and three fourths of the nation's state legislatures would need to ratify any change. the white house press team released a statement saying it is ready to face the states in court. >> president trump's border czar, tom homan said ice agents are looking for public safety threats, as the administration is promising to follow through with large scale deportations as many cities brace for raids. a bishop at the inaugural prayer service made an appeal directly to president trump. today. >> they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. they pay taxes and are good

neighbors in the name of our god. i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. now, after. >> president trump and vice president j.d. vance were in attendance for that service at washington national cathedral when the bishop asked for mercy for undocumented immigrants and for members of the lgbtq community. >> for more, we're joined live by bill hing, a professor of immigration law at the university of san francisco. professor, certainly appreciate the time. 22 states are suing to block president trump's effort to end birthright citizenship. what does the legal battle over this issue look like from here? >> well, as everybody has commented and has talked to other legal scholars, the president has a long road to go before he can declare birthright citizenship wrongful because the constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born here

under the jurisdiction of the united states. and that includes people who are undocumented. and so i don't think that this is going to be very difficult for the courts to resolve pretty quickly in favor of the children who are born here. >> yeah, but clearly it does send a signal to his supporters about how seriously he is taking the issue of immigration. and to that end, professor, just late today, in terms of the president's immigration enforcement actions, we learned that he has tossed out policies that limit where immigration authorities can make arrests. this means that ice agents can now arrest migrants at sensitive locations. these are places like churches and schools. these policies have been in place for more than a decade. what do you think the implications are of the trump administration getting rid of them? >> i'm so disappointed in that because the primary places that were protected were churches, schools and hospitals. and can

you imagine ice going into a hospital when somebody or somebody is suffering and or delivering a baby or going into a school, into a classroom, or for goodness sakes, into a church? the fact that they're willing to lift that restriction is just mind boggling to me. and it's already scaring people. i have calls from school teachers and parents who are afraid to send their children to school. and these are folks, some of them are u.s. citizens, but they are from minority communities that think that they're going to be racially profiled. so already it's having devastating effect. >> yeah, certainly having an impact, professor, as part of mr. trump's efforts related to immigration, he's reinstating the remain in mexico policy, forcing asylum seekers to remain in that country while their cases are processed. opponents may argue this violates international law and u.s. law protecting migrants. do you see an opening for a legal challenge of this policy? >> yeah, the remain in mexico

policy was challenged successfully during the first trump administration that it violated our obligations under international law. that's one problem that he faces. the other problem he faces is that he's going to need the cooperation of mexico, because mexico is being asked to let people stay in mexico, and mexico doesn't have that responsibility either, if they're applying for asylum in the us. and so the new mexican president is going to have a big role and a big say in whether or not the remain in mexico policy is going to actually happen. >> all right. another aspect of the incoming president, president trump's immigration policy changes here is that the president is moving at this point to end what is known as the humanitarian parole program. this is a biden era program that allows migrants from four troubled countries to come here to the u.s. and then remain here as their legal proceedings play out. trump ordered the head of

homeland security to end this program. what are the implications of this? what does this mean for people who have already used this program to come into the country? and what does it mean for people who are trying to get from some of those troubled countries here to the u.s. to seek asylum? >> well, as the name suggests, humanitarian parole, these are for people that are probably in some of the worst situations. and historically, the country has exercised discretion to let people come in who have very sympathetic things going on. for example, ukrainians. that was one group that president biden granted humanitarian parole to people who might be devastated from an earthquake or from famine. certain groups might be able to come in under humanitarian parole. i must say that again, this is a shocking move because it's not that many people. it's maybe tens of thousands, not hundreds of

thousands. and it it demonstrates our humanity as as a nation. and to foreclose that possibility is very disappointing. >> yeah, certainly a lot to discuss in a conversation we will continue having with you. professor bill hague, director of the immigration and deportation studies at usf. thanks so much for the time, sir. >> thank you. >> a new study found president trump's mass deportation plan could take a devastating toll on the u.s. economy. the pew research center found undocumented immigrants currently comprise 4.8% of the entire u.s. workforce. the largest number of those workers live here in california and in texas, researchers found removing those workers could dramatically drive up the cost of living. the same study also points out undocumented workers are taxpayers who play a critical role in funding the u.s. government. researchers at the pew center found the u.s. collects more than $96 billion in taxes from these workers every year. therefore, deporting

undocumented workers could put a tremendous drain on the u.s. economy financially and in terms of the work they do. >> in his first full day in office, president trump said his focus on artificial intelligence announcing billions of dollars to build ai infrastructure. >> but it will ensure the future of technology. what we want to do is we want to keep it in this country. china is a competitor and others are competitors. we want we want it to be in this country, and we're making it available. i'm going to help a lot through emergency declarations because we have an emergency. we have to get this stuff built. but it's technology and artificial intelligence all made in the usa, beginning immediately. stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in ai. >> the private sector investment, called stargate, is a joint venture between bay area companies openai, oracle and japanese company softbank. the

company is committed to investing $500 billion over the next four years to, among other things, build data centers in the u.s. for powering ai. mr. trump also met with the leaders of the republican controlled congress, speaker mike johnson and senate senator john thune, about his priorities, including trying to expand his 2017 tax cuts. senate democrats, critical of trump's sweeping actions. >> on day one of his presidency. it's clear donald trump's golden age is not for the working and middle class. in fact, it's a golden age for special interests, for wealthy elites, and for corporate executives of big corporations. >> within hours of taking office, the president also revoked u.s. secret service protection for his former national security adviser, john bolton. bolton's life had been threatened by iran. trump also took executive action to start revoking the security clearances of bolton and other intelligence officials, including former

secretary of defense leon panetta. the order targets officials who signed a letter claiming emails found on hunter biden's laptop had the hallmarks of russian disinformation. >> the voters decide the course of our nation, both domestically and abroad, and they have elected donald j. trump as our president when it comes to foreign policy on a very clear mission. and that mission is to ensure that our foreign policy is centered on one thing, and that is the advancement of our national interest, which they have clearly defined through his campaign as anything that makes us stronger or safer or more prosperous. >> secretary marco rubio addressed his new staff at the state department today, the first confirmed member of president trump's cabinet addressed the crowd in the same lobby where antony blinken delivered farewell remarks on friday. senate committee hearings continue today for other trump nominees. his pick for u.s. ambassador to the united nations, elise stefanik, took questions from the senate foreign relations committee today. during her opening

statement, she said the country must demand more from the u.n. former georgia congressman doug collins appeared before the senate veterans affairs committee. the air force veteran said he is ready to lead the department, which employs about 370,000 staff members. >> a small group of republicans are criticizing the president's decision to pardon more than 1500 people charged for their actions during the january 6th attack on the capitol. senator susan collins from maine released a statement saying in part, quote, there is a great difference between violent crimes and nonviolent crimes. i do not support pardons given to people who engaged in violence on january 6th, including assaulting police officers or breaking windows to get into the capitol, for example. ktvu james torres reports that some of those defendants began to be released. >> we hope they come out tonight. frankly. >> president donald trump spending hours signing nearly 100 executive orders of the most significant pardoning more than 1500. january 6th capitol rioters. approximately 1500

people, 66 commutations. >> and those accused of those crimes heard the news immediately. >> looks like it will be a couple more hours for them to get the paperwork processed. i'm actually a january 6th defendant to, but i've never been convicted. >> oath keepers founder stewart rhodes spoke after being released from prison this morning. >> i think it's a good day for america that this is being all the wrongs are being undone. so none of these people should have been here in the first place. none of them were ever tried in a fair and fair trial. they should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. another proven guilty in front of a fair, fair jury. >> these pardons range from people convicted of criminal activity to others still waiting for their days in court, facing lower level charges. political experts say this is exactly what president trump promised on the campaign trail. >> he's doing exactly what he said he was doing. this is not a surprise. he telegraphed this very aggressively. i will pardon all of those people. on day one, he said, i'm going to have 100

executive orders on day one, and everything he's doing now is something he said he was going to do. >> some worry about the precedent these pardons could set over the next four years. >> makes you wonder if donald trump will use this for people who are acting as vigilantes in the future, particularly with some of these executive orders and the deportations that we're going to see. one has to wonder if some individual citizens will take it upon themselves to act as authorities, and therefore think that they might get some sort of pardon from donald trump. >> i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> up next this afternoon here on the four as those large wildfires continue to burn in southern california. up next, we are going to show you the scene from the palisades fire, where crews are making sure that high winds don't fuel any more flames, as thousands of people still cannot return to their homes. >> and another major retailer announced it is closing in san francisco when bloomingdale's will close up shop. >> and barry weather out to a

very chilly, chilly morning. lots of sunshine out there this afternoon. we're going to cold thing. chill things. cool things off once again. so i'm trying to say overnight onight and freeze warnings

francisco. bloomingdales says it will be closing its flagship store, the san francisco center mall, on market street, in late spring. the store has been at the location for nearly 20 years. bloomingdale's tells shoppers that its other bay area locations in palo alto and san jose will remain open. the retailer said in a statement that they are saddened to close. they added, quote, we are hopeful to be back to serve the san francisco community in the future and look forward to introducing new ways to provide enhanced service to our loyal local shoppers. san francisco mayor daniel lurie said, quote, there are massive changes happening across the country in retail, and we know there's a lot of work to do in our city. although this closure is disappointing, i'm energized every day by businesses of all sizes opening and growing in our

city. >> san jose city officials are touting a soon to be completed tiny home site for unhoused residents as a step toward ending homelessness. it also has the added benefit of protecting a central waterway from pollution. ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary is joining us now live from the blossom hill section of the city, with more on this project and its potential impact. jesse. >> alex, good afternoon to you and residents living in this section of south san jose have been complaining for years about problems associated with a large encampment of unhoused residents. that's just on the other side of the fence behind me. today, city and community stakeholders and leaders attacked the problem from the ground up. >> one, two, three. >> san jose officials hailing this groundbreaking photo op tuesday as the next step on the path toward ending homelessness. >> it's time for the city to actually step up and do something about it. it's

unacceptable to have people unhoused in our city. >> this two acre parcel of land owned by valley water will, if the construction schedule holds, become home to a $100 million, 136 bed interim housing site. >> by helping out get people out of their trees, get them into homes where they belong and sheltering. and it helps the neighborhoods. >> it's wonderful that they're putting tiny homes here because there's people here and down there and further down, and it's going to fill up. >> residents of the erickson neighborhood say the problems with unhoused people living along the southern end of the guadalupe river have grown exponentially over the past ten years. >> a lot of trash. just lots and lots of trash. a lot of noise generators, a lot of environmental destruction on the waterway here. >> san jose's mayor says a no encampment zone will be established for 40 acres around this site. he says other efforts that mirror this one are having an impact, reducing the number

of unhoused residents. >> we will run those sites to get people off the streets and help them turn their lives around. we see that 70% of people who step into an interim housing community do not return to the streets. >> the city of san jose is on track to be the first major u.s. city to end unsheltered homelessness. i really believe that it's possible. >> do you want any cheese. >> at the encampment where the unhoused already live in cramped quarters, there is optimism the soon to be built interim housing site will solve two problems and lead to lifetimes of possibilities. >> but i want to move over here because i work right here at samuel alito. >> it's inconvenient for you. >> yeah. >> and city officials stress there will be rules. there will be security, and there will be programs to help those who move into the interim housing sites transition into permanent housing. this site is scheduled for completion in september of this year. we're live in the blossom valley section of san

jose. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. alex, back up to you in oakland. >> all right. we'll keep following it as the project moves forward. jesse. thank you. still ahead this afternoon on the four. a strong winds return to southern california. we have the details on a couple of new fires that broke out in the overnight hours in th n

- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

extreme winds and high fire danger. the lilac fire has burned about 80 acres or so, and right now it stands at 35% containment. authorities say the fire did force evacuations in the bonsall escondido area, and the pala fire broke out west of interstate 15. it burned about 17 acres and it is fully contained right now. there was also another fire in the san diego area. this was called the friars fire. it burned about two acres or so. the causes of all of those fires remain under investigation. >> it has been two weeks since the firestorm began in los angeles county. and as we said, that danger is still not over. strong winds have returned and added to the region's fire risk. ktvu roberta gonzalez reports from the fire zone. >> we're here right off pacific coast highway in malibu. the air temperature has been fluctuating between about 56 and 59 degrees. it's the winds we've been really concerned with. let me take a look. it looks like the winds have been anywhere from about 5 to 10mph. but it's the gusts. the gusts have exceeded 20mph today. and that's why we have

high wind advisories and high wind warnings in effect for this tuesday. now, meanwhile, when you come on out here and let me tell you, it's very difficult. and i did just talk to a homeowner who wouldn't go on camera because he's heartbroken, as you can imagine, and very tearful. he said his family has lived here for over 50 years, and all that is left now is this fire hoses, damaged fire hoses. and i did pick up this also, this bottle of champagne from happier times. so fire danger here around the los angeles area today, ventura, riverside and san bernardino counties, but also to the south in san diego. two fires did break out overnight. the palo fire just off i-15 in the palo mesa area. you jog over to the bonsall area that's about 12 miles southeast of oceanside. that fire is burning out of control. evacuations have been taking place and schools are closed for the day. then in hemet, we had the chambers fire that popped up

overnight, and firefighters have been working diligently and around the clock, and they were able to knock down that fire as well. back here on pacific coast highway in malibu, what we have been noticing is a lot of activities. we've been noticing fire strike teams from utah, from idaho, from washington and oregon, also from las vegas, as well as the bay area. they're all here, and you can see them as they go by. and also we have workers putting up these brand new electrical poles here for communications, again, as they try to restore and rebuild here in malibu. reporting from a very sad, sad situation here in malibu. i'm roberta gonzalez, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. we want to talk about the weather here. and this is a live look at the oakland estuary. things looking pretty calm out there on the water as we look toward san francisco. let's bring in meteorologist mark tamayo. mark, you are tracking the weather here in the bay area. and of course, the

wind situation down there in southern california. >> yeah, here in the bay area, chilly morning out there. and in southern california, they have the gusty winds and they still have a red flag fire warning in place. and for the rest of today, tomorrow and into your thursday. so down from up, as you can see from from ventura county approaching los angeles county, approaching san diego as well. a red flag warning until 8 p.m. thursday. winds have been trending down over the past few hours, so that's a good sign. but they could pick up once again tomorrow and the top gusts could be approaching or topping 50 miles an hour. so it's that dry offshore wind, the santa ana wind that will redevelop into your wednesday forecast. and it's very dry, dry relative humidity down right around 2%. so the high fire danger threat will continue in southern california. and it will basically be a factor as we move into wednesday and into thursday. we are actually beyond 15 days with the last rainfall here in the bay area. so the dry weather stretch continues and slight chance of some showers as we head towards saturday. here is the forecast model. here we are. this is saturday morning.

some clouds and the slight chance of some rain showers here. so this is a cold system moving in to start off the weekend and then into monday. still no major rainfall in our forecast. so once again we have lots of clear skies over the region right now. a bit of a chill in the air for the morning hours. and once again tomorrow morning. we are talking about freeze warnings and frost advisories. current numbers in the 50s and the 60s. san jose checking in at 66 degrees. here's our live camera from the south bay. picking up on some high clouds out in the distance. so we'll have partly cloudy skies for this evening, but definitely a cold start this morning. 20s and 30s out there to start off the day and heads up tomorrow morning. a freeze warning and a frost advisory for portions of the north bay. so this was the case this morning into tomorrow morning. we have the coldest locations back down into the 20s, and we'll have more on that chilly forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> mark. thanks. we'll see you soon. coming up, a trailblazing chef in san francisco has died. still ahead on the four, a look at the impact of charles fan. one of the city's most prominent

january 6th riot at the u.s. capitol. >> and many of those orders and actions are expected to be challenged in the courts. for more, we are joined live now by michelle goodwin, who is a

professor of constitutional law and global health policy at georgetown university. professor, thank you for the time. it's good to have you on. let's start with the action that president trump took when it comes to the january 6th riot at the u.s. capitol, in really a move that stunned many people. the president pardoned most of the january 6th defendants here, including those who attacked police officers on that day. and it does sound like, you know, according to a lot of folks, that this was well within the scope of presidential power. is there is there any legal avenue that that anyone sees here to challenge these pardons at all? maybe, maybe from some of the victims of the capitol attack? >> well, of the executive orders that were released by the newly elected president, this is one that is more soundly within his authority. it still one that is alarming, including of members of his party who've had a very difficult time justifying why there would be the release of

what is nearly about 1500 individuals that stood trial and were convicted of the crimes against the united states when they stormed the capitol. this itself was something that was a crime, that was that affects us all in many different ways, because this was the kind of crime where it was an attack on our democracy on the capitol, which is why there are republicans who've also been very deeply concerned about this particular executive order. >> professor, another trump eo focused on gender identity, said the federal government only recognizes two sexes, male and female. lgbtq advocacy groups, the aclu, are signaling they will take legal action related to this order. what do you imagine that might look like in a challenge? >> well, what's taken shape is that during the biden administration and across multiple u.s. states, there's been greater attention to what the medical science has been, which is that individuals are not necessarily just male and

female. they're individuals who are bi, nonbinary. and in fact, there are individuals who are actually born intersex, which is also very interesting in this executive order, which is that it doesn't necessarily pay attention to health and science. there are individuals who are born of both sexes, intersex. and there it's not as if there is an overwhelming population of individuals who are born that way, but it is real. and one even hears these matters when it comes to matters of the olympics, where there are determinations of how how many chromosomes an individual necessarily has. and so it's something that will be painful, i think, to many people who have been able to move forward in the expression of their gender identity. it is inconsistent with health and science and also may pose various legal problems. the united states supreme court, in a case called bostock, said that it was unconstitutional, a violation of title seven for individuals to be discriminated against based on their

transgender identity when it comes to employment. clearly, this executive order is inconsistent with where the supreme court has even landed. >> let me ask you about another order by the president that is getting obviously a lot of attention, and that is part of his crackdown on immigration. president trump has issued this order that intends to end birthright citizenship in this country. already, as we talked about earlier in the show, this is facing legal challenges from a number of different states, including california, that have already filed a joint lawsuit here. the 14th amendment to the constitution guarantees that anyone born here in the u.s. is a citizen. it appears to be a settled question from a legal standpoint, but do you see any other way that the courts potentially could interpret the language in the constitution? >> well, this has been settled since the reconstruction. the 14th amendment was part of the reconstruction after the civil war and after the end of american slavery. it was a very important part of america. being

able to move forward after the civil war was in response to the fact that there were black individuals who were born in the united states, but not granted the status of citizenship. so the 14th amendment in its very first citizen, the very first sentence recognizes individuals that are born in the united states as being citizens. and this has been a mark of the united states being a country that many others have thought an aspirational ways about, and that the president now seeks to do away with, this will definitely be challenged. we already see states lining up to challenge this. it should be an easy case for the united states supreme court, given that it's a court that leans into originalism and textualism, and you find original in the 14th amendment in its text, birthright citizenship. those oral arguments, if it reaches the court, will be ones that we will all be listening to quite closely. >> no doubt about that. >> yeah, certainly a lot to

watch as that legal battle is just beginning. we have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for joining us. michelle goodwin, professor of constitutional law and global health policy at georgetown university. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> happening today, alameda county supervisors are interviewing the seven finalists who are in the running to be named district attorney. each candidate was able to make a presentation before facing questions from the supervisors. the board will appoint a replacement after voters recalled da pamela price last fall. the candidates include several current and former alameda county prosecutors, along with a superior court judge and a city attorney. before the public interviews, the grassroots organization that organized the recall campaign held a rally in oakland, save alameda for everyone or safe has endorsed three of the new da candidates. two of them are still in the running. they are judge ursula jones dixon and contra costa county chief assistant da annie esposito. advocates said supervisors should listen to the input of

residents. >> but remember, the reason why we are replacing this da. we want to make sure that they will not be replacing another problem that we will be dealing with again. and we also want to make sure that this is a right and fair process, not being influenced by many, many powerful politicians. >> the board of supervisors meeting is still underway right now. they expect to choose a new da by the end of the month. that person will serve until an election is held in 2026. >> one of san francisco's most prominent chefs and a leader in reinventing vietnamese food in america has died at the age of 62. charles phan came to san francisco as a vietnamese refugee when he was a child. in 1995, his family opened phan's best known restaurant, the slanted door. the restaurant became a nationally acclaimed location, earning fans several awards. he went on to open several restaurants around the bay area and to write two cookbooks. critics have said phan had more impact on

vietnamese food than any other chef in the u.s. in a statement posted to instagram, fans called him a trailblazer and, quote, a dreamer who refused to settle for the status quo. >> well, tickets are now available for the celebration of life for rickey henderson. this is scheduled to take place on saturday, february 1st, between 1 and 3 in the afternoon at the oakland arena. the event is free with open seating, but fans do still have to register for tickets online. the baseball hall of famer died last month at the age of 65. >> snow is falling in parts of the country that would normally see sunny skies this time of year. coming up, the crippling effects of a blizzard warning on the gulf coast. >> and a barrier weather. we have a bit of a chill as well, with freeze warnings and frost advisories posted for tomorrow morning with temperatures in the 20s and

upper 20s, so 28 to 32 degrees. but other parts of the bay area under a frost advisory for the same period tomorrow morning. and that means temperatures could be in the low to mid 30s. that's out toward the bay shoreline here for the inland valleys and the santa clara valley, san francisco and parts of the coast. not under that frost advisory, but a very cold start tomorrow morning. some more frost out there, and santa rosa could be starting out the day in the upper 20s. lots of 30s. so definitely a bundle up and plan on some frost first thing tomorrow morning. our dry weather stretch continues here in the bay area. this big area of high pressure is not losing its grip just yet. tomorrow we have a sunny wednesday cold start in the morning, but a nice recovery into the afternoon hours. lots of 60s and maybe a few neighborhoods approaching the 70 degree mark. and then we're going to watch out for this system that's going to move in on saturday. this will definitely drop off our temperatures, boost the winds and the chance of a few scattered showers moving here into the bay area. but probably the biggest impact will be the gusty winds and the cooler conditions headed our way. temperatures only in the 50s.

here's a forecast model. we have that chilly start tomorrow morning. it will be clear and then more sunshine tomorrow afternoon and take a look at the numbers after that. very chilly start. a nice recovery into the afternoon hours, maybe a few neighborhoods inching closer to the 70 degree mark tomorrow afternoon. so take a look here. your five day forecast. more sunshine into thursday. partly sunny into friday. saturday clouds more. some gusty winds and cooler temperatures and that slight chance of a few showers. so some cooler conditions on the way, but at least
