00:00:41,320 Now, let's check out the weather in the San Diego area. 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:48,480 This morning it's cloudy and 52 degrees, with just about no wind and 87% humidity. 12 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,920 Tonight the sun will set at 520pm and it will rise again tomorrow at 643am. 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,120 It looks like grin for a day of partly sun, with a high near 67 and wind 5 to 10 mile 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,400 per hour in the afternoon. 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,920 Tonight rain, mainly after 5am with a low around 54. 16 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,800 The rain could be heavy at times, with wind 10 to 15 mile per hour and gusts as high as 17 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,800 25. 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,960 Chance of precipitation is 80%. 19 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,520 New rain amounts of less than a tenth of an inch. 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:29,480 In the Surf Report, Wednesday brings a steady west-northwest swell, waist to shoulder high, 21 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,000 increasing to chest to head high, with light wind turning south. 22 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,400 Watch for changing conditions later in the week with a strong west-northwest swell and 23 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,080 onshore wind. 24 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Looks like it's going to be a disaster out there. 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Time to hunker down and do some yoga kids. 26 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,920 Namaste. 27 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,640 In Pacific Beach and South San Diego, it's looking 4 to 5 feet and clean in the morning, 28 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,360 turning unrideable in the afternoon. 29 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Get out there before 9am and make sure you get some nugs before the storm rolls in. 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:10,800 The first low tide Wednesday will be 2 feet around 615am, with a 3 foot high tide just 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,540 before noon. 32 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:22,080 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61.5 degrees for the water temperature. 33 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,480 Looking ahead in the weather. 34 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:29,520 We'll see rainy conditions on Thursday, starting with morning rain, then afternoon thunderstorms, 35 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,400 possibly heavy, and strong wind up to 45 mile per hour. 36 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,880 The trend continues through the weekend with intermittent showers and mostly cloudy skies, 37 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,040 with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees during the day and dropping to the low 50s 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240 at night. 39 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,580 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 40 00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:56,160 This podcast is brought to you by

00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,420 Sunny mornings send you. 48 00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:28,420 In top news. 49 00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:35,380 Well folks, it's almost the end of dry January and sometimes it extends beyond just one month. 50 00:03:35,380 --> 00:03:39,080 Influencing a reevaluation of alcohol use. 51 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:45,960 A reduction in alcohol consumption, even slightly, has immediate and long-lasting health benefits. 52 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,480 According to scientists from the University of New Mexico, alcohol impacts almost every 53 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400 organ system. 54 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Reducing alcohol can lead to improved sleep, mood, mental clarity, and energy. 55 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,400 Alcohol, while a sedative, disrupts sleep patterns and can lead to wakefulness in the latter 56 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,200 part of the night. 57 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Over time, less alcohol intake can improve overall health, potentially aiding in weight 58 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,000 loss as alcohol is high in calories but low in nutrients. 59 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,920 It also suppresses the immune system, so reducing intake could boost immune responses. 60 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:28,440 Additionally, alcohol is a known carcinogen breaking down into acetaldehyde, which damages 61 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560 DNA and increases cancer risk. 62 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Now, let's talk science. 63 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,160 Archaeologists recently made a groundbreaking discovery in central Europe, uncovering a 64 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,440 Bronze Age civilization previously unknown. 65 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,880 This complex network of over 100 sites, connected by a vast societal landscape, was revealed 66 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240 through satellite imagery. 67 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,900 These findings, including some of the largest structures of that era, have significantly 68 00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:00,400 altered our understanding of Bronze Age societies. 69 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,280 Notably, this civilization, centered around the Carpathian Basin and the Tissa River, 70 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,440 featured large megaforts enclosed by extensive ditches. 71 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:17,880 Ground surveys and excavations suggest these sites thrived between 1600 and 1450 BC, before 72 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,600 being abandoned around 1200. 73 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,840 This discovery challenges existing theories about European prehistory, suggesting a cohesive, 74 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,760 advanced society rather than competing chiefdoms. 75 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,800 It also sheds light on the region's role in the broader European context during a pivotal 76 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,920 historical period. 77 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:46,520 In business news, Alphabet and Microsoft exceeded earnings expectations, yet their stocks fell 78 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200 in extended trading. 79 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:58,000 Alphabet's revenue grew 13% to $86 billion, while Microsoft's increased 18% to $62 billion. 80 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Despite surpassing cloud business forecasts, Alphabet's ad revenue slightly missed targets. 81 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Investors' high expectations, fueled by the company's strong AI developments and cost 82 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,920 cutting, including job cuts, led to disappointment. 83 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,800 Analysts note unrealistic market expectations for advertising growth. 84 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,740 Moving ahead, Microsoft forecasts a modest next quarter, with the market now focusing 85 00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:28,560 on upcoming reports from Amazon, Apple, and Meta. 86 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:44,780 In crypto, Bitcoin is around $4,300, Ethereum is at $2,300, and Solana is $100. 87 00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:46,760 Now on to sports. 88 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,800 Jim Harbaugh has been signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as their head coach on a five-year, 89 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,620 $80 million contract. 90 00:06:55,620 --> 00:07:00,640 This fall is the Chargers' underwhelming 5-in-12 season and the dismissal of Brandon 91 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Staley. 92 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,920 Harbaugh, with a notable coaching record, including a national championship at Michigan, 93 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,280 is expected to bring stability and experience to the team. 94 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,400 His arrival is particularly significant for quarterback Justin Herbert, as the Chargers 95 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,440 aim to strengthen their presence in the Los Angeles market. 96 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:27,040 In the NBA, the Lakers on the road, lost to the Hawks, 138 to 122. 97 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,040 And tonight, the Clippers are on the road to take on the Wizards. 98 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,240 Tomorrow night, the Lakers are on the road to play the Celtics. 99 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,760 And in national hockey tonight, the Kings are on the road to play the Predators, and 100 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,280 the Ducks are at home to take on the Sharks. 101 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,560 Moving on to a more local vibe. 102 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,520 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 103 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,680 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 104 00:07:58,680 -->

tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 111 00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:36,520 And now back to the show. 112 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,600 In local news. 113 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,520 San Diego has reinstated its downtown train Quiet Zone after temporarily suspending it 114 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,880 due to safety violations. 115 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,720 The city's transportation department quickly addressed these issues, installing over 120 116 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,800 new railroad signs and road markings at key intersections. 117 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,720 Consequently, trains will no longer need to sound their horns in this area, adhering to 118 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:08,320 the $21 million Quiet Zone safety system established in 2010. 119 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,640 While most transit agencies have complied with the reinstatement, the freight railway 120 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,640 is yet to implement the Quiet Zone. 121 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:22,600 This development aims to balance safety with noise reduction in the downtown area. 122 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400 And in entertainment news. 123 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:30,800 By Richie's latest film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare presents a unique twist 124 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520 on World War II storytelling. 125 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,640 Set against the war's backdrop, it follows surgeon Gus March Phillips, played by Henry 126 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,120 Cavill, who is recruited into Britain's Special Operations Executive. 127 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,720 The Special Operations Executive focuses on irregular warfare, and March Phillips, known 128 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,440 for his rule-breaking approach, is chosen to lead a risky mission. 129 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,320 The movie's trailer reveals his assembled team of unconventional fighters, played by 130 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:07,240 Isa Gonzalez, Babs Olusemukhan, Alan Ripson, Henry Golding, and Alex Pettyfer. 131 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,600 These characters bring a blend of madness and skill to their task of creatively combating 132 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,800 Nazis. 133 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,440 The film, with its action-packed and whimsical approach, is set to be released in theaters 134 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,040 on April 19, promising a fresh take on the genre. 135 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Well, alrighty folks. 136 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,420 It's time for the quote of the day. 137 00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:32,840 And today, our quote comes from British writer Vivian Green. 138 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,440 Vivian said, 139 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,800 Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. 140 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,760 It's about learning to dance in the rain. 141 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:48,680 So go get your ponchos and your dancing shoes, cause it's gonna be a wet one, y'all. 142 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:50,560 And that's a wrap for this morning. 143 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,840 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 144 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,840 Have an amazing day, my
