A very thick marine ayer many coastal areas under cloudy skies all day long. More fog is expected through the overnight before some changes head our way on Saturday. Look for overnight lows to dip mostly in to the 50's. Highs on Saturday will likely range from the 60's near the coast with warmer readings expected inland. Wind issues come in to play for Saturday which means there are Advisories and even Warnings in place through early Sunday. High surf from the increase in wind has also prompted the weather service to issue a High Surf Advisory for much of the coastline which will last through early Monday.

Looking ahead, our Spring weather pattern has been very well behaved with mostly seasonal conditions prevailing. This will continue in to the beginning of the weekend before a passing cold front changes things up. Cooler air is expected with much of the marine layer being scoured out through late Saturday. Winds will increase with advisories or even warnings possible by late Saturday and then in to Sunday. The winds will be from the north northwest which means ocean conditions will get very stormy. Short period wind swell will kick up big waves with lots of strong currents making for dangerous beach and sailing conditions. In addition to that, this type of wind flow will likely also turn the water over and drop our water temperatures significantly. Air temperatures through the weekend will continue to see a mix of cool to mild readings. Winds should quiet down by Monday as more fog develops with a return of our consistent friend May Gray.

(CNN) — An American Airlines regional jet with a congressman on board made an emergency landing and evacuated on the tarmac on Friday after smoke was reported in the cabin moments before landing.

American Eagle flight 5318, operated by PSA Airlines, was flying to Kansas City from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when the smoke was reported, the FAA said.

“Bluestreak 5318, declaring an emergency. We’re landing,” the PSA pilot said as the plane was two miles from touching down, according to recordings of air traffic control audio captured by Broadcastify.

Other aircraft circled the airport as the CRJ-900 regional jet landed and all 76 passengers evacuated onto the taxiway.

Congressman Tracey Mann, who represents much of western Kansas, was on the flight and posted photos and video of passengers climbing out onto the wing.

“There was smoke on our aircraft and so we landed and are now sitting on the tarmac,” he said in a video posted to Facebook. “Really appreciate our first responders, folks from fire.”

The FAA will investigate the incident, according to a statement from the agency.

“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority, and we are sorry for their experience,” American said.

Kevin Warsh, el nuevo presidente de la Reserva Federal nombrado por Trump, asume oficialmente el cargo el lunes en sustitución del otro presidente de la Fed nombrado por Trump, Jerome Powell, cuyo mandato concluye después de ocho años.

Ahora bien, supervisar el banco central más importante del mundo es un trabajo duro incluso en las mejores circunstancias. Hacerse cargo ahora —dos meses y medio después de una guerra que ha disparado los precios al consumidor, y con su predecesor que permanece en la junta de gobernadores para tratar de contener amenazas sin precedentes a la independencia del banco— es, digamos, algo menos que ideal.

Esta semana, una serie de informes económicos dejaron claro el aprieto en el que se encuentra la economía estadounidense y lo difícil que le resultará a Warsh hacer lo único que el presidente espera de él: bajar las tasas de interés para impulsar el crecimiento económico.

Esto es lo que nos dicen los datos.

Los datos de ventas minoristas publicados el jueves confirmaron lo que los CEO han advertido en las llamadas de resultados durante semanas: la gente está recortando su gasto, hace compras más selectivas de bienes más pequeños y esenciales y pospone la adquisición de artículos de alto costo como electrodomésticos para el hogar y autos. (Whirlpool, que posee las marcas KitchenAid, Maytag y Amana, describió recientemente la dinámica como un retroceso “a nivel de recesión” similar a la crisis financiera de 2008).

El principal culpable es, como cabía esperar, la gasolina. La guerra en Irán ha impulsado al alza los precios de la energía en todo el mundo, encareciendo el transporte de prácticamente cualquier producto, en cualquier lugar.

“La guerra ha llegado a casa, y los estadounidenses pueden sentirlo y verlo en su canasta del supermercado”, dijo a CNN esta semana Joe Brusuelas, economista jefe de RSM Estados Unidos.

El sentimiento del consumidor, según al menos un indicador, está en un mínimo histórico. Las encuestas de la CNN también han captado esa indignación, ya que el 75 % de los estadounidenses afirma que la guerra en Irán ha perjudicado sus finanzas.

Las ventas minoristas de Estados Unidos subieron un 0,5 % de marzo a abril, aunque gran parte de ese aumento refleja precios más altos en lugar de un mayor volumen de ventas. Reembolsos de impuestos más altos también facilitaron que muchos hogares salieran adelante a medida que la inflación repuntaba.

“La inflación está viva. El crecimiento real de los salarios está muerto”, me dijo Aaron Sojourner, economista sénior del Instituto W. E. Upjohn para la Investigación del Empleo.

En otras palabras, los precios de los bienes y servicios cotidianos ahora están subiendo más rápido que la mayoría de los salarios —un cambio notable respecto de los últimos tres años, cuando los salarios en gran medida se mantuvieron al ritmo de la inflación o incluso la superaron.

En promedio, los salarios crecieron un 3,6 % durante el último año, según la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales. Sin embargo, los precios han subido un 3,8 %.

No toda la inflación es igual.

Los bienes de consumo, especialmente la gasolina y los alimentos, tienden a fluctuar bastante. Y, desde luego, cabría esperar un gran aumento de precios en este momento, debido a que el cuello de botella energético del estrecho de Ormuz ha permanecido cerrado durante más de dos meses. Eso parece ser a lo que se refería el presidente Donald Trump cuando restó importancia al informe del IPC esta semana, diciendo que el aumento era “a corto plazo”.

Pero los “servicios” —es decir, lo que pagamos por el alquiler, boletos de avión, la atención médica, la

(CNN) — The Supreme Court on Friday tossed out an emergency request from Virginia officials to reinstate a congressional map that would have benefited Democrats in this year’s midterm election, a widely expected decision that represented the court’s latest foray into a nationwide redistricting war.

The decision thwarts Democratic plans to use the new map to pick up as many as four additional seats in the House of Representatives this year.

The 6-3 conservative court has recently sided with Republicans in Louisiana and Alabama – permitting those states to quickly redraw their maps. But the Virginia case dealt more squarely with questions of state law rather than federal questions, and many experts predicted that the appeal was, at best, a Hail Mary.

There were no noted dissents. and the court did not explain its reasoning in the one-sentence order.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, signaled this week that the state was abandoning the effort anyway, telling reporters on Wednesday that the state would move forward with the old maps regardless of how the US Supreme Court decided the emergency appeal.

Democratic officials in Virginia raced up to the US Supreme Court on Monday urging the justices to block a 4-3 decision from the state’s highest court that effectively struck down their proposed map. The state court ruling was based on what it found was a timing error in how the legislature handled a referendum empowering lawmakers to redraw their maps as part of a highly unusual mid-decade redistricting war playing out across the nation.

The state court’s ruling, Democrats said, was “deeply mistaken” and had “profound practical importance to the nation.”

The fast-track appeal landed at the 6-3 conservative court at a moment when the justices are facing significant criticism, including from within their own ranks, for a series of map decisions that have by and large favored the Republican Party. In recent days, the court has cleared the way for both Louisiana and Alabama to use new maps that are far more friendly to Republicans – tipping the balance in the monthslong redistricting race toward the GOP.

That started with a blockbuster decision in late April that weakened the scope of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, providing political cover to Republican state lawmakers eager to heed President Donald Trump’s call to redraw maps between census releases to try to retain control of the House. Several southern states have moved to redraw or have already recrafted their maps, in some cases pushing back their primary elections.

But while the political motivations in Virginia are the same as those other states, the legal issues were quite different. The challenge to Virginia’s Democratic-friendly map dealt not with raci
