Forecasts for warm temperatures, low humidity and gusty winds through Saturday spurred the National Weather Service to issue a red-flag warning for the hills of Napa and Sonoma counties and advise residents still recovering from October’s historic infernos to take precautions. The warning is to be in effect from 11 p.m. Friday to 11 p.m. Saturday. The most vulnerable areas are higher elevations in Napa County and the eastern hills of Sonoma County, officials said. The areas are expected to see above-average temperatures and northeast gusts of wind as strong as 40 mph.

Three fires broke out near the Concord-Walnut Creek border, according to Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. Each fire is burning a half-acre to an acre of grass and firefighters are currently responding. Video footage shows golden grass hills burning off Ygnacio Valley Road on the border of Concord and Walnut Creek. Firetrucks have been stationed near homes close to the fire, but evacuations have not been ordered, said Steve Aubert, a spokesperson for the fire district. Officials are asking the public to avoid the area of Ygnacio Valley Road and Oak Grove Road. Eastbound Oak Grove Road is closed and will require a detour of traffic for an unknown amount of time.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court said Tuesday that pregnancy centers established to convince women to continue their pregnancies do not have to tell their clients about the availability of state-offered services, including abortion. The court's conservatives said a California law likely violates the First Amendment. It required what are called crisis pregnancy centers - they promise prenatal care and help when the child is born - to post notices or tell clients about the state's service. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the 5 to 4 decision. He said that the "government-drafted script" specifically mentions abortion - "the very practice that petitioners are devoted to opposing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld President Donald Trump's ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, rejecting a challenge that it discriminated against Muslims or exceeded his authority. The 5-4 decision Tuesday is the court's first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy, and the president quickly tweeted his reaction: "Wow!" Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by his four conservative colleagues. Roberts wrote that presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration. He also rejected the challengers' claim of anti-Muslim bias. But he was careful not to endorse either Trump's provocative statements about immigration in general or Muslims in particular.

Parents who remained locked up struggled to get in touch with children being held in many cases hundreds of miles away. Some said they didn't even know where their children were. Others said they had been deported without them. Trump himself took a hard line on the crisis, accusing the Democrats of telling "phony stories of sadness and grief."
