paid time for std screenings were months ago. the way would have been closer to one to 2 weeks. i definitely has has and you prioritize of their other patient visits. but understandably so. i mean, this is a crisis we're facing. arizona is currently the only state border in california with particularly restrictive abortion access. >> however, that does not mean that southern california is the only part of the state feeling the impact of increased demand. we actually was significant number of state patients being served here in sacramento. sacramento's local planned parenthood affiliate is mar monte covering northern california from the ocean to the nevada mountains. every time i come in. >> there's someone from alabama. there's someone for texas. there's a story of a persian honesty in california. we're now seeing more than double the out of state patients were the largest affiliate in the country. vice president of public affairs lauren babb says planned parenthood in the sacramento area. >> took steps to expand their hours and staff in anticipation of the supreme

court ruling. so they have managed so far to keep up the needs of patients living in and out of the state. but in some cases the care looks different. >> can this be a telehealth appointment instead so that we have an exam room for now to stay patient or can we triage more so that they're coming in just to pick up the medications that they need? babb says the logistics of treating out of state patients can be tricky with many needing to fly in and out of california on the same day. >> meeting their needs can be complicated and stressful. still, we have a bigger concern when it comes to out of state patients. >> what keeps us all up and i as the folks that don't come through our doors, there are so many people that don't have resources don't have extra, you know, money for travel and need. she suspects is only going to get worse as more states work to eliminate or more severely restrict the care. california is inviting people to get in sacramento. karma dickerson. >> governor newsom appeared in new york last night speaking at the clinton global initiative and he wasted no time attacking republicans. with all due respect to those.

>> conservative governors out there, greg abbott. and others. there's dumb as they want to be. and they're just doubling down on stupid and we will not follow their path. >> the governor has bgen increasing his presence on the nationalhstage in recent months. a recent report suggested if president biden does not run for re-election, then newsom would seek the oval office in 2024. all right. talk a bit about our forecast now taking a live look over the bay bridge toll plaza and not too many cars moving out there. i have for your lunch hour. kron 4 meteorologist kyla grogan with more on conditions outdoors. yeah. i want to start with hurricane fiona just because it's kind of fascinating to see this. this is a category 4 hurricane that is in the atlantic right now. that >> cause damage in puerto rico and also turks and caicos is now headed towards bermuda. but check it out. this is eyewall replacement. you see the eye starting to get choked off by the outer bands and then it will re strengthen and

you'll see it redevelop. so that's happening right now. started over the last few hours. you can see this massive storm right here, just kind of sitting off the coast of miami. so it is a category 4 major hurricane. that means it's sustained winds at 130 miles per hour. 937 millibars or pressures. that's pretty impressive as well. it's going to sustain its category for all the way through and could see it takes a swipe at bermuda, which is right there. so a little close, hopefully they will get away with not having a lot of damage. but i was looking at this, you know, the entire span of this is over 400 miles. so imagine that very impressive system going headed back to the bay right now where we have a less impressive nonetheless, it's brought us some very beneficial rain still dragging a little bit of moisture and starting to see that around the bay. but it's it's very few and far between. but it doesn't mean that you couldn't see a few sprinkles possible out there. we do have some those blue skies, though, making it in the way in the way to there's all those who see the fluffy clouds. so it we're going kind of do this dance for the next couple of hours in show. you futurecast a few things keep popping up in the radar. but as we go through the day, things should

start to die down. and by tomorrow, certainly we're going to see a very different pattern as we start to see our low pressure that's brought us the rain track to the north and east. high pressure builds in and that means we're going to dry out. we'll see some of those temperatures start to rebound and i'm happy to say it's not going to be a wild rebound. just a pretty nice rebound a little bit above average in la, but not bad. you can see fall begins on thursday. upper 80's as we head towards the weekend. low 90's possible. and that's about it. but a lot of sunshine on the way. stephanie, back to you. thanks very much. >> the city of south lake tahoe is now one step closer to banning single-use plastic bottles, plastic water bottles. that is dennis shanahan explains what that band would mean and why some of the community say they are against it. >> mark twain said whiskey's for drinking. that water is for fighting over. so i guess we have a we have a fight on our hands here. that's the chief executive officer of the south lake tahoe chamber of commerce opposing the proposed ban on single-use plastic water bottles less than a gallon in size at city facilities and events. >> violators would face fines

if approved by the city council. the ban would go into effect in april of next year on earth day. the ordinance would further prohibit city merchants from selling those water bottles a year later and it would apply to non sparkling and flavored drinking water. heather's drought is the city attorney city manager can waive those provisions of necessary to protect public health and safety, including if there's a lack of potable water available due to a natural disaster city staff members who spoke during the meeting find the idea refreshing. i would just remind everybody that our tap water is extraordinary. also recognizing that all tap is held to at least the same or even higher standards than bottled water. it contributes far fewer greenhouse gases over its life cycle and it is nearly free reaction from community members was mixed here. again, the chamber of commerce sky. it's going to take. >> but plenty local merchants pockets and give it to somebody else's pocket. some residents are concerned the ordinance could lead to job

losses. south tama refuse employs workers on the conveyer line to separate recyclables, including plastic bottles. we really do need to stop the letter sores. merrily mobius from keep tahoe blue was among those who spoke out in favor of the ordinance citing the number of plastics that organization has collected. 29,513 bottle caps made of plastic that have been picked up. >> per cleanup efforts. and 21,139 plastic water bottles that have also been picked up on the environment from our cleanup efforts. the city plans to install water filling stations to make up for the lack of bottles. and council members talked about the need for a design that doesn't freeze in the winter. after a lengthy discussion and public debate, the council voted to approve the reading of the ordinance. that's a step toward final approval of the ordinance itself at a future meeting being a part of global solutions are great and i'm going to be. >> and that was dennis shanahan reporting for us. and that final vote is expected
