has cleared right there, but that foggy blanket are really hovering up and down the coastline. half moon bay, for example, is very fogged in still my advice for you, if you want a little sunshine, the bayshore is kind of that sweet spot further inland areas. you're actually going to be on the warmer side of things today getting our first 80's of the season so far for inland areas today and tomorrow. this high will it last, though, low pressure dives back in and that's what we're alluding to this weekend. the big cool down the rainfall on its way, especially on saturday before we warm back up into next week. timing of all this friday we start to cool down. may see some very late friday showers, although saturday is the day i'm really looking at with our maximum rainfall. potential sunday gets here with clearing and drying conditions after some morning showers. and then we're smooth sailing into the week ahead after that. rainfall this weekend, preliminary models are showing around a half an inch to over an inch of rainfall depending on where you're talking exactly. most of our urban areas will hover around that half an inch to

three-quarters of an inch of rain. now, as for today, no rain just yet little bit of fog towards the coastline will 60's. where is the rest of us are pretty consistently and i did the 70's or the low 80's spots like san jose among our warmer ones getting up to 83 degrees today. fremont dublin livermore right at 80 with spots like oakland up to richmond hanging out in the mid 70's north day temps, upper 70's to low 80's for your daytime highs. cool out towards the coastline. if that's what you prefer. looking ahead tomorrow, just as warm if not warmer in london today. friday, beginning that cool down and by saturday it's only the 50's with the rainfall. pretty consistently sunday. we will see some morning showers before some afternoon clearing and eventual warming after that, michael. >> well done keep those 50's that will take those 80's right. good morning, everyone. and happy wednesday. taking a look right now at traffic tracker for you can see lots going going going and no delays. taking a look, though,

and we are going to need his expertise this morning. rob, i'm looking at the markets, nothing but a sea of red. it's like the red wedding. the dow up more than 500 points. calm down. what's going on? >> just got to be honest inflation is higher than we wanted it to be. yeah, in december we want at 6 interest rate cuts this year. that's what money was telling us that it became 3. now it's become to interest rate cuts will make it easier to get a home loan that's affordable. it will servicing the national debt easier. it will make service credit card that he's here. that we didn't get the hot. we've got a hot number, not a whole number. so we're still only 2 to 3% off our all-time high. so this is not panic because we have a strong economy. we've got good earnings. we just have sticky inflation. and that's the story in the 1970's, it did the same thing. it started to come down. it looks like it's going straight out of year. shot back up for a little bit forward back down. so i think that's the story. okay, youire

interested is at 4 and a half percent. so if you're saver, if you're a retiree, it's great. all my cash is already in 4 and a half to 5% beating inflation at 3 and a half percent. but yeah, this isn't great news. okay. well, have more about and second l is going say, well, let's let's talk about a consumer prices. >> they went up more than expected, right? that's the general. take away the top line. >> and this is the 3rd straight month. so i can't call a blip. you know, i got to say it's a said this dashes hopes on a club lowering interest rates, still inflation at 3 and a half percent. your rear isn't a bad number when you're coming from 99 and a half percent, which was where we were little over a year ago. so we've had great games. we're just not down to where we want it to be. i don't think when you get to 2% the fed wants we're going to like 2 and a half to 3%. so most, but not that close shelter in energy were the worst performers i eat up the most energy was up 1.1% gasoline, for instance, up

$0.23 a gallon month-over-month the $3 and shelter was up about 5.7% year-over-year. so that's that's fast. that's that's too much inflation shelter. tons to come down the slowest and it's the biggest component of cpi, food. a little bit of good news here up only 2.2% year-over-year. but each the chickens and the fish still sticky high. as far as side going up on a month-to-month basis. i don't like to see food prices going up because, you know, that's like pocketbook that literally like kitchen table. >> stuff that kind of weighs on people, especially in an election year when they're going in there thinking about, you know, whether they feel better or worse compared to the year before the administration before. so this may have some ripple effects as have to tighten their budgets a little bit right. that's right. medical costs are up 16%. so those are your senior voters. you know, there's ways that you can look at this and the people who hurt the most. for sure. and

now step talk about a june rate that we're talking about july right. and that may cause the markets to do well. if we get the numbers under control, that may give biden the last minute, you know, surge in popularity because people do vote with their checkbooks. yeah, but i think he was hoping for more like may june, not july august and doubt, no doubt. and it's not just the seniors to, but i guess teams. >> are starting to tighten their belts a little bit when it comes to spending because those numbers are down as well. yeah. >> let's see what we can say about this. 11% of teens think the economy is improving. 65% think that it's getting worse. remember that 65% number. come right back to they're spending about 6% last. now, here's the 65% brought up again. 38% of teenager participated labor force. i have jobs. that means 62% 60 persons normal. so it's half the normal amount of

teenagers in the that means 60% of teenagers are living off mom and dad or mom and dad get the money. so that's where we can see that. you know, 65% think it's getting worse. adults think it's getting worse. teenagers can kind of live in their false fantasy world, but apparel and footwear going down as far spending goes, that hurts lululemon american eagle. it hurts nike is also losing favors a brand compared to decker's hoka. my have couple pairs of hocus. didn't like. come on. kind of thing. cosmetics perfumes and haircare ongoing output. hilarious to watch my teenage boys put on hair care. but chick-fil-a is a big brand with the teenager says he's been down starbucks and put the mexican grill. so you can kind of see some investment trends here. yeah, teenagers tend to spend regardless, but this year they're spending a little bit last if you tend to invest teenagers are going to tends to be a very good

investment the longer term. some mixed data this month for sure. yeah, but will be interesting. you mentioned some of those fast food chance of interest to see how this uptick in the minimum wage and the >> hike in prices that we're seeing is going to impact some of those sales, especially for teams that are looking to eat on a budget. it's not some budget friendly anymore. and some of these fast food chains. so for that's only california, right? only california. all right, rog, if higher prices. thanks, james. thank you as always. so we're going to rob again tomorrow as always. let him know. now what you want to talk about it. there's a company, a story that you want his thoughts about let him know reach out to him on facebook. on twitter. you got his handles e-mail him directly. he's always happy to hear from you, rob at rob black dot com.

in question is roughly 200 million dollars out of the 350 million that's being paid for by nevada. well, some sad news for fans of rose in the hands bar in san jose. the owner announced on the company's web site that they're closing their doors at santana row on april. 20th, they say the rising costs, declining sales and the harsh realities of running a restaurant post-pandemic. it made it difficult for them to keep that business operation, at least at that location. rosa mccann's, though, does have other locations in santa cruz. >> lot of the kron morning news specialists are trying to quickly final. well with tangled in a net. why is it is a life or death situation for that whale? as state attorney general rob bonta plans to crack down corporations. the of criminal offenses. why feels they should be hit with heftier fines? we'll have that coming up. don't go anywhere.
