One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

QUICK FACTS

After several days of heat, Southern California is finally cooling down.

Cloudy skies are in the forecast all day as we anticipate some light rain this afternoon, about a tenth of an inch, that could carry into Wednesday morning.

Temperatures at the beaches will reach the upper 60s to low 70s, and in the low to mid 70s for the valleys and inland areas.

The National Weather Service has also issued a wind advisory for the San Bernardino and Riverside County mountains, including the Coachella Valley, where wind gusts could reach up to 50 mph.

Winds are expected to pick up tonight around 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. Wednesday.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
