>>> AFTER THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP 'S TERRACE LAST MONTH, HE QUICKLY MOVED TO PUT NEW TARIFFS ON COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.

THE CALIFORNIA AND STATES AROUND THE COUNTRY SAY THOSE ARE NOT LEGAL, EITHER.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL LOOKS AT THE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE TARIFFS.

>> AT ITS CORE, THIS LAWSUIT IS ABOUT PROTECTING EVERYDAY AMERICANS FROM THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF UNLAWFUL TARIFFS.

>> CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB BONTA JUMPED ON A ZOOM CONFERENCE THIS MORNING WITH HIS FELLOW AG IS TO ANNOUNCE A NEW ANTITERRORIST LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

>> TRUMP IS TRYING TO USE AN OBSCURE LAW TO PUSH THROUGH TARIFFS THAT IS COEQUAL BRANCH OF CONGRESS, NOT THE TERROR ALONE HIS KNEES TO AUTHORIZE.

>> THE PRESIDENT MOVED QUICKLY TO USE THE TRADE ACT OF 1974 TO INSTITUTE NEW TARIFFS.

FIRST 10%, THEN THE NEXT DAY, UP TO 10 15% ON EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

>> SIMPLY PUT, THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THIS AND WE WILL NOT STAND BY WHILE IT IS BROKEN.

>> BEFORE OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL ARE BEING JOINED BY THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN THESE STATES, IN SUING THE ADMINISTRATION.

THEIR SUIT SAYS THE LATEST TREND OF TARIFFS ARE BAD FOR BUSINESS.

IT CALLS THEM ECONOMICALLY REFERENCES.

HERE AT RC BLOCK AND LEMON GROVE, THE ISSUE FOR MANAGEMENT IS THE SAME AS IT IS FOR MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE COUNTY, AND INDEED, ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THAT IS THE UNCERTAINTY BROUGHT BY TARIFFS .

>> I THINK FOR THE LAST YEAR WE'VE BEEN ON A DAY-TO-DAY, WEEK TO WEEK BASIS.

IT IS HARD TO MAKE BUSINESS DECISIONS WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY.

>> KATHY OLSON IS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR RCP LOCK AND BREAK.

THE COMPANY MANUFACTURES SOME OF THE PRODUCT THEY SELL IN THEIR OTAY MESA FACILITY.

BUT WHETHER THEY MAKE IT OR IMPORT IT, THE TARIFFS ARE A PROBLEM.

>> IT'S NOT JUST LIKE OKAY, THIS LOAD OF STONE CAME IN AND IT WAS HIGHER-PRICED, SO WE HAVE TO RAISE OUR PRICE.

WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR WHOLE CATALOG AND REASSIGN PRICING TO ALL OUR MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS.

SO IT'S NOT QUITE AS SIMPLE AS IT IS WITH OUR RESALE MATERIAL THAT WE PURCHASE.

>> THE LATEST ROUND OF TARIFFS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THEM.

THEY CAN ONLY STAY IN EFFECT FOR 150 DAYS BEFORE CONGRESS MUST VOTE WHETHER TO EXTEND THEM.

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER THAT DATE IN LATE JULY WILL COME FIRST, OR WHETHER THE COURT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE WILL WEIGH IN BEFORE THEN.

THE VERY COURT THAT FIRST STRUCK DOWN THE LAST ROUND OF TARIFFS BEFORE THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT .

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS .

>>> U.S.

MORTGAGE RATES ARE BELOW 6% FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS.

AS RATES DROP, HOMEBUYERS MAY BE WONDERING WHETHER THEY SHOULD REFINANCE THEIR MORTGAGE AND LOWER THEIR MONTHLY PAYMENTS.

JENN SULLIVAN LOOKS OF THE PROS AND CONS.

>> Reporter: MORTGAGE RATES ARE STARTING TO COME DOWN.

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2022, THE AVERAGE 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE RATE FELL TO 5.98%, ACCORDING TO FREDDIE MAC.

SO IF YOUR RATE IS HIGHER THAN THAT, SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT REFINANCING?

>> I TYPICALLY TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST A PERCENT OR MORE IN TERMS OF THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHAT YOU COULD HAVE.

>> Reporter: STEPHEN CATES WITH PERSONAL-FINANCE SITE BANK RATE SAYS HOMEBUYERS WHOSE 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGES THAT 7% OR HIGHER MAY BE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR REFINANCING.

EVEN A SMALL CHANGE IN YOUR INTEREST RATE CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, DEPENDING ON YOUR LOAN.

BUT HE SAYS YOU REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH YOU WILL BE SAVING EACH MONTH WITH A LOWER RATE, AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST YOU TO REFINANCE.

BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE AND TIMELY PROCESS.

>> YOUR NEW MORTGAGE, YOUR REFINANCE, EVEN WITH THE SAME BANK, IS ESSENTIALLY AN ALL NEW LOAN THAT PAYS OFF THE OLD ONE.

>> Reporter: THERE MAY BE MULTIPLE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH REFINANCING, LIKE ALL OF THESE CLOSING COSTS.

GREAT ESTIMATES ARE TYPICALLY COST BETWEEN 2-6% OF THE NEW LOAN AMOUNT, SO IF YOU ARE RITA FINANCING A $300,000 MORTGAGE, IT COULD COST YOU BETWEEN 6000 TO AS MUCH AS $18,000.

>> THE LOWER YOU CAN GET, THE EASIER IT'S GOING TO BE TO SEE THE SAVINGS IN REAL-TIME.

>> Reporter: CATES SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE TO REFINANCE WITH YOUR CURRENT LENDER.

BECAUSE OF THAT, HE SUGGESTS SHOPPING AROUND FOR THE BEST RATE, AND MAKE SURE YOUR CREDIT SCORE IS GOOD.

THE HIGHER YOUR SCORE, THE LOWER YOUR RATE.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JENN SULLIVAN.

>>> DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME STARTS ON SUNDAY.

MANDY GAITHER HAS MORE ON HOW TO PREPARE NOW SO YOU CAN SPRING FORWARD WITHOUT LOSING ANY SLEEP.

>> Reporter: MICHELLE WITH CLEVELAND CLINIC SHOWS DATA SHOWS THE SHIFT IN TO LEAD TO RISING CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

SLEEP DISRUPTIONS CAN ALSO AFFECT MOOD, DUE TO GROGGINESS, HEADACHES, FATIGUE, AND INCREASED IRRITABILITY.

>> YOU WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNINGS AFTER THE TIME CHANGE.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE MAY DECIDE OKAY, ON THAT MONDAY MORNING I'M NOT GOING TO SCHEDULE ANYTHING THAT TAKES A LOT MORE FOCUS, OR A HIGH ATTENTION TASK.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS PREPARING NOW BEFORE THE TIME CHANGE IS KEY.

START BY GRADUALLY ADJUSTING BEDTIME AND WAIT TIME.

GO TO BED 15 TO 20 MINUTES EARLIER AND WAKE UP 15 TO 20 MINUTES SOONER.

SHE SAYS IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS.

>> SO IT'S NOT A BIG OUR CHUNK AT ONE TIME.

>> Reporter: MAXIMIZING LIGHT EXPOSURE IS ALSO KEY.

SHE SAYS OPENING THE BLINDS AND GOING OUTSIDE TO WALK WILL HELP WAKE YOU UP.

AND WHILE IT IS TEMPTING, SHE SAYS, TO AVOID MIDDAY'S NEWS IS AND NOT TO COMPENSATE WITH OVER KAPPA NATION.

>> WHICH MAY HELP IN THAT MOMENT, OR FOR THAT DAY, BUT THEN POTENTIALLY PUTS US AT RISK FOR HAVING MORE DIFFICULTY FALLING ASLEEP AT NIGHT, DEPENDING ON TIMING OF WHEN A NAP OR CAFFEINE USE IS OCCURRING.

>> Reporter: FOR HELP MINUTE, I'M RANDY GAITHER.

>>> THE WIND IS PICKING UP AS WE STEP INTO THE WEEKEND, AND AN OFFSHORE BREEZE.

OVERALL WE ARE TURNING COOLER LATE THIS WEEK FOR MOST OF US, THE MOST DRAMATIC COOLING IS IN THE INLAND AREAS.

SANTA ANA WINDS, THAT IS AN OFFSHORE WIND, WHILE MOST OF THE SOUTHWEST COOLS DOWN, IT ACTUALLY IS AN OFFSHORE WARMING AND FOR THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE.

THAT WILL DRIVE TEMPERATURES UPWARD FOR SAN DIEGO AND FOR THE BEACHES.

TONIGHT, 47 DEGREES, CLEAR, AND STILL COOL TONIGHT.

THE FRONT THAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KIND OF REDIRECTING THE WIND PUSHES THROUGH THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST, AND FOLLOWING THAT IT BEGINS TO CRACK THE OFFSHORE BREEZE.

SO IT WILL BE COOLER ON FRIDAY, FOR MOST AREAS ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

43 FOR MOUNT LAGUNA.

LOW 70s, RAMONA SPRINGS.

WE BEGIN TO ACTUALLY SEE TWO PICTURES HOLD OR RISE LATE IN THE DAY FOR THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE, AS THAT OFFSHORE WIND PICKS UP.

CHULA VISTA, 74, XANDER BEFORE, SAN DIEGO, AREAS LIKE OCEANSIDE, 75.

HERE WE HAVE THE SANTA ANA WINDS PICKING UP FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY, AND SATURDAY NIGHT, IN THE AREA SEEING GUS A 50-75 MILES PER HOUR.

POTENTIAL FOR DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES IN SOME SPOTS, THE STRONGEST WINDS UP TO THE NORTH OF LOS ANGELES.

SO, FOR SATURDAY, THAT OFFSHORE WIND, DRY AND COOL IN THE INTERIOR, BUT DON'T LET THAT DECEIVE YOU.

THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE WILL BE WARMER BECAUSE OF THE OFFSHORE BREEZE, AND THAT EVEN LINGERS IN THE SUNDAY.

A WINDY SET UP ACROSS THE INTERIOR CANYONS AND PASSES, STILL BREEZY IF NOT DUSTY AT TIMES.

LET'S GET INTO THE DETAILS.

HERE WE HAVE THE COASTAL FORECAST, THE OFFSHORE WIND DRIVES TEMPS UPWARD, BACK UP TO 80 ON SATURDAY.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE WINDS DROP OFF, AND WE WILL HAVE HER BACK AROUND THE LOW 70s FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

INLAND AREAS, 79-80 THIS WEEKEND, JUST ENOUGH OFFSHORE, DOWNSLOPING WIND TO WARM YOU UP.

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND A DIFFERENT TREND AS WE HEAD INTO THE MOUNTAINS, TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT.

MAYBE EVEN A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS ON SATURDAY.

INTERMITTENT CLOUDS AND COOL ON SUNDAY, AND THE DESERT IS NOT AS WARM AS THE COAST WITH THE SET UP, AGAIN, THE WARMEST OF THE WINDY SET UP ON THE COASTLINE.

SO THE DESERT ACTUALLY COOLER.

ABREGO SPRINGS, SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER THAN IT WILL BE IN SAN DIEGO.
