Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, March 15th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and
entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 52 years ago, today, in 1972, The Godfather,
an epic drama about organized crime, premiered to universal acclaim.
The Academy Award-winning film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starred Al Pacino
and Marlon Brando.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
For Friday and looking ahead, the surf scene will be marked by a calming northwest swell,
complemented by a fresh south-southeast swell, which promises a bit more size.
Surf heights are expected to be mostly in the waist-high range, with a potential for
chest-high waves at winder's better breaks.
The wind is forecasted to be lighter and more favorable in the morning, trending towards
the southeast.
Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking fair early on in the day at
2 to 3 feet, but after 1 p.m. it's looking choppy.
Best time to ride is at 10 a.m. with a one-foot incoming tide, when the southwest swell is
one and a half feet at 16 seconds, and the wind is four mile per hour.
The first low tide Friday will be about zero feet at 8.30 a.m. with a five-foot high tide
at one.
The nearshore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area, this morning it's partly cloudy and
53 degrees with little wind.
The sunset will take place at 6.57 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.56.
It looks like we're in for some sun with a high near 66 and wind of 10 to 15 mile per
hour with gusts as high as 20.
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 50.
Looking ahead in the weather.
This weekend into Tuesday, expect mostly sunny days with highs gently rising from 67 to 70
degrees.

In local news.
This month, Belmont Park is excited to welcome two cherished local businesses, Pizza Port
and Moutime Creamery.
Pizza Port, with a rich history since 1987, will occupy the space previously held by Roundtable
Pizza, offering select pizzas and craft beer, also available park-wide.
Moutime Creamery, known for its 50s-inspired ambience and homemade ice cream since 1998,
will be featured in the Sweet Shop.

a new ride, renovations and menu updates, emphasizing the park's deep connection to
the San Diego community.
Now on to sports.
The Los Angeles Chargers have traded their longest tenured player, wide receiver Keenan
Allen, to the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round pick.
This move is part of the Chargers' strategy to manage their salary cap, having been over
by $25 million earlier in the week.
Allen, who was approached to take a pay cut but refused, leased the Chargers after 11
seasons, during which he became the franchise's all-time leading wide receiver in yards and
catches.
His departure, along with other key players, signals a significant change for the Chargers'
offense and quarterback Justin Herbert, who loses his most reliable target.
Allen's achievements include six Pro Bowl selections and five seasons with over 1,000
yards and 100 receptions.
Last night in the NBA, the Clippers beat the Bulls on the road, 126-111.
And tonight, the Clippers are on the road again, to play the Pelicans.
Tip-off is at 5 Pacific time.
And national hockey, the lost on the road to the wild, 2-0.
Tonight the Ducks look to redeem themselves on the road, as they face off against the
Jets at 5 Pacific.
And the Kings also on the road, face the Blackhawks in Chicago.
In top news, a groundbreaking experiment on the International Space Station has yielded
miso paste, marking a new era for food fermentation in space.
This space-made miso, developed by Joshua Evans and his team, showcases a unique flavor
profile compared to its earth-fermented counterparts, potentially enhancing the culinary experience
for astronauts on lengthy missions.
The experiment, which tested the impact of space's unique conditions on fermentation,
found significant differences in taste, aroma, and color in the space-fermented miso, suggesting
a faster fermentation process.
This venture into space fermentation not only paves the way for more varied astronaut diets,
but also opens discussions on the role of gravity in fermentation processes.
In business news, Adobe's shares fell by up to 11 percent after the company issued
its fiscal first quarter results, which, despite showing strong performance, included a lower
than expected revenue forecast for the upcoming quarter.
The software giant reported an 11 percent year-over-year revenue growth, but saw its
net income decrease significantly from the previous year.
They also canceled its $20 billion acquisition of Figma, paying a $1 billion termination
fee.
Loof!
Amid these developments, they unveiled an early version of an AI assistant for its apps
and discussed collaboration with OpenAI on Sora, a tool for generating video from text
descriptions.
For the next quarter, Adobe predicts earnings that slightly miss analyst expectations, attributing
future growth to new product enhancements and AI offerings.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $68,000, Ethereum is at $3,700, and Solana is $175.

Let's talk tech.
Microsoft's CoPilot, now enhanced with GPT-4 Turbo, offers users significant upgrades without
any cost.
This version surpasses GPT-4 with a more recent knowledge base updated to April 2023 and the
ability to process about 300 pages of text in a single prompt due to a larger context
window and improvements in responsiveness, addressing previous issues of laziness.
These enhancements are part of Microsoft's strategy to keep the free tier appealing,
while rumors suggest a new GPT-4.5 Turbo model might be introduced for the paid tier.
And in entertainment news, The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling
and Emily Blunt, has broken the Guinness World Record for car rolling previously held by
Casino Royale.
In an homage to stunt performers, the film features a stunt where the car completes 8
and a half cannon rolls, surpassing James Bond 7.
The stunt was performed by Logan Holliday, who also appears in the film, highlighting
the often overlooked contributions of stunt performers in Hollywood.
I can't wait for that one to come out.
Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, in honor of the weekend, let's check out a great scene from one of our favorite
movies, Office Space.
Hello Peter, what's happening?
I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow.
So if you could be here around 9, that would be great.

Have a great weekend everyone.
