example here today. we're looking at for some 70's tomorrow. same story, a couple degrees cooler. but >> pretty nice. and then we really going to a very different profile is get into friday. clouds moving in by saturday. rain headed our way. and that's going to really knock down temperatures because not only is it rain, but it's a front passing us by meeting that's ushering in some very cool air. now, the other side of that, we will start to kind of bounce back. but just to kind of clue you in to what's happening with this rain. our april showers will move in friday late in the evening to track in basically northwest to southeast. so it's getting very typical pattern and we will see those chilly temperatures, as i mentioned, as well, are been areas expecting between about a half an inch, an inch of rain. our coastal mountains could certainly see higher totals than that between about one and 2 inches. so let's take a look at the big picture here. you can see how we are today. obviously, a few clouds rolling in but looking pretty nice as we get into our evening tomorrow. same story. we stay dry. we should have some nice sunshine. it's a very warm temperatures by friday. here comes some cloud

cover rolling in and then it's later in the evening on friday. and i do think this will be after everybody gets home from work. right? and we've settled down for the evening that we start to see this role and it continues throughout saturday. you can see a little sierra snow rolling in there, too. and then it looks like a wraps up by sunday morning if it moves a little quicker than maybe will wrap up a little bit later on saturday. we'll have to see how that shakes out. but this is what we're looking at for totals. so it will definitely be significant amount of rain, right? and this is a little late in the season. we're also going to see some wind with this. so notice while tonight we just get a little bit of a sea breeze we get into tomorrow. we're going to start to see the wind pick up a bit at the coast in particular on thursday and then really continues into friday. that is what happens. we have a frontal passages. well, right, we get some of that wind really get. so there's your friday at about 6 o'clock. so you're be crossing bridges. you might notice that too. want to take a look at this because you might notice some parts of the country are still dealing with drought word. we in california and then very fortunate and we're looking great. so that's why i'm not mad about getting a little

rain, even though it is unfortunately on the weekend. and i know that's not great timing for a lot of activities. but, you know, we're at the end of that season where we pick up all of our rain and it's kind of nice to see a little bit of that gives us a little insurance policy as we head towards our summer months. so get ready for a big cool down to rain on your saturday. and then next week, it looks like we're in and some nice seasonal temperatures and some beautiful sunshine. one in 5, californians lack reliable and affordable internet service. the majority coming from people who are lower income either they're of color or they live in rural areas. so today in sacramento, the assembly, communications and conveyance committee discussed a bill that designed. >> to chip away at this form digital discrimination and assembly member be about to offered. the bill is joining us now to talk about it. thank you so much for joining us this afternoon on kron 4. thanks for having me. so as the coauthor of this, believe that internet connectivity is a social justice issue. can you tell us why?

>> be 20 to? 39 is essentially recognizing the fact that even still today around such a critical resource like broadband, we still have haves and have nots. and the reality is that the have nots right now, our communities of color, communities experiencing poverty and communities that happened districts for far too long and experiencing other kinds of adjusted. so broadband, if you really think about it, the essential nature of it is such a critical resources. it needs to be available to everyone. >> and so what does a be 20 to 39 due to get internet into those homes from the for the people who really need it. the most. >> be 20 to 39 essentially sets the standard of recognizing in california, digital discrimination. it's something that can't exist and encourages i i speak providers to meet that standard when they're receiving state funds in order to ensure that they are despite their best

intense, not running afoul of this idea every person should have access digital resources, including brought in. >> so how do you hold the providers responsible for this? if they have like policies and procedures in place that they purposely try to keep the internet out of these communities? >> i don't think that purposeful at all. quite frankly, i think it's years and years of genera ional redlining that has happened in our communities that has caused to build up an infrastructure housing resources in areas that better resources. and so this a digital divide that we see now is just yet another, you know, step in the wrong direction. should we not created not investing in our communities of color are not investing in our own time communities. i actually think a lot of isp providers have done a great

job of trying to provide resources to low-income communities by leah. there by way of low-income discounted programs that they but at the end of the day, the state of california needs to have a strong that sense digital discrimination. the impact is not a lot. >> and so they're discussing this bill right now. what happens after the discussions that you have today? where do things go from here? >> so right now we were able to have our first policy committee review at assembly communications and can vance we were successful in moving that bill out of the first with the vote of 7 to want and which we're very excited about. we had hundreds of advocates in the room supporting this bill and representing the critical importance of it. and our next step is to go to the assembly judiciary committee. and it's just a first step in long process in order to be able to make this policy reality. but at the end of the day, a

california has opportunity to essentially say digital connectivity is essential and we will not stand for there to be any kind of digital discrimination within that. >> assembly member mia bonta, thank you so much for joining us here on kron for this afternoon. appreciate time. and we've got to chance to learn something today. thank you so much. thank you so much. they care. and happening tonight, the santa clara county health officials are hosting a training event on how residents can help reverse an opioid overdose. with that life saving drug narcan. and there's a free narcan training workshop that's inviting the community to learn how to use the drug in case of an emergency. they're also be an opportunity to learn more about the opioid crisis. santa clara county supervisor. joe, some idiot hosting this workshop in partnership with santa clara's behavior. health services training starts tonight at 7 at mitchell park library. and anyone who goes well, also walk away with a free narcan kit. still ahead,

interagency council on homelessness said. >> the audit underscores need to continue to hold local governments accountable who are primarily responsible for implementing these programs and collecting data on outcomes. the state can use to evaluate program effectiveness. the council continues to improve its ability to ensure that taxpayer dollars spent traditional e and effectively as for what happens next, the audit is calling on the legislature to require state agencies to report the costs and outcomes of their homelessness programs. you know, we know what's broken. we go right to the cure. >> and make sure this doesn't happen any longer. we as a legislature should be very troubled by this report ready to take action at the state capitol. eytan wallace. >> arizona supreme court ruled to revive a 19th century law criminalizing all abortions except when the mother's life is at stake. the 18, 64 law which predates arizona's statehood offers no exceptions for rape or incest. instead,

it further restricts reproductive rights in the states where terminating a pregnancy is already banned at 15 weeks. critics say the law opens up the door for the prosecution of doctors who performed the procedure. >> 2022 abortion ban is extreme and the near total civil war era that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state refused to allow arizona become a state where doctors are going to be afraid. >> to practice to just do their job. >> in their 42 decision, justices wrote, physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal. the ruling comes just days after former president trump declined to endorse a national abortion ban and said the issue should be left up to the states. homeland security secretary all 100 majorca says spending the day getting grilled by members of congress hearings
