00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, April 26.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,840
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
But first, you'll be interested to know.

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Today is Arbor Day.

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,200
It originated in the 1870s in Nebraska City.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Julius Sterling Morton, a journalist and later the editor of Nebraska City News, used his

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,840
platform to advocate for the ecological importance of trees in a region that lacked forestation.

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:54,100
His efforts culminated in the establishment of Arbor Day on April 10, 1872, when Nebraskans

12
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,700
planted around one million trees.

13
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:03,880
This tradition quickly spread across the United States and by 1885, Arbor Day was a state

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,460
holiday in Nebraska.

15
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:12,680
The day is now nationally recognized and celebrated by planting trees and promoting environmental

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,320
stewardship.

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,200
So now you know.

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
And now you know what time it is.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,080
It's time for the surf report.

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Expect a playful mix of swells on Friday, with leftover south, southwest swell and northwest

21
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,800
windswell in the thigh-to-chest-high range at most spots.

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Wind is favorable early, shifting to breezy west-northwest flow in the afternoon.

23
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,440
A spike of northwest windswell arrives for the weekend, with waste-to-head-high surf

24
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Saturday and smaller leftovers Sunday, Friday at Tormline and South San Diego.

25
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,320
It's looking like poor surfing conditions just about all day, with a patch of fair conditions

26
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,720
at 2 to 4 feet just before noon, then topping out at 3 to 5 feet and choppy.

27
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Best time to ride is at 11 a.m. with a 2.5 foot incoming tide when the west-southwest

28
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,340
swell is 4 feet at 9 seconds and the onshore wind is 9 mile per hour.

29
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:25,800
The first high tide Friday will be 3 feet at noon with a 2 foot low tide at 4 p.m.

30
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:34,840
The near shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.

31
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,580
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

32
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:45,240
This morning it's cloudy and feels like 59 degrees with 6 mile per hour wind.

33
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:52,200
The sunset will take place at 727 and it will rise again tomorrow at 604.

34
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,840
It looks like we're in for a chance of rain before 11 a.m.

35
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,600
And it will be cloudy with a high near 63 and wind of 10 mile per hour with gusts as

36
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,920
high as 20.

37
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,800
Chance of precipitation is 40 percent with new rain amounts of less than a tenth of an

38
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800
inch tonight.

39
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:20,360

41
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Looking ahead in the weather.

42
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,440
This weekend will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 60s to near 70.

43
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,400
Saturday will be breezy with gusts up to 20 mile per hour.

44
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Apache fog is possible Saturday and Sunday nights as well as Monday morning and Tuesday

45
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,520
morning.

46
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,720

00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Bonjour food enthusiasts.

00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,200
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

55
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,640
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

56
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Sunny mornings send you.

57
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,120
In local news, firefighters responded to a significant fire at a vacant restaurant at

58
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,720
the end of the Oceanside Pier in California.

59
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,520
The fire reported just after 3 p.m. occurred in the building that once housed Ruby's

60
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Diner.

61
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Authorities deployed multiple firefighting resources including helicopters from CALFIRE

62
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:01,000
and SDG&E which assisted in dousing the flames with water from above.

63
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,440
As of 4.30, the situation was improving though visibility was hindered by thick smoke.

64
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Fortunately, no injuries were reported and all nearby workers, including those from the

65
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,920
adjacent Brinebox Fish Jack, were accounted for and safe.

66
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:26,280
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

67
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,480
Now on to sports.

68
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Name one of the NFL draft is complete.

69
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,840
And here are the first four picks.

70
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:41,640
At number one, the Chicago Bears selected quarterback Caleb Williams from USC.

71
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:48,840

from Ohio State.

75
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Rockies 10-9.

76
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,720
And in game three, the Lakers at home took another loss to the Nuggets 1-12 to 1-05.

77
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,880
They now trail three games to none.

78
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,360
Tonight, the Padres are at home to take on the Phillies.

79
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,800
And the Clippers are on the road in Dallas to take on the Mavericks for game three.

80
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:40,400
And in the NHL playoffs, the Kings are at home for game three to skate with the Oilers.

81
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,980
In top news, Southwest Airlines is facing significant operational challenges, including

82
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:54,280
financial underperformance and delays in Boeing aircraft deliveries, leading to strategic changes.

83
00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:00,880
The airline plans to exit four airports, including Kuzumel International, Bellingham, Syracuse,

84
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,800
and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental.

85
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:12,320
This decision follows a quarterly loss of $231 million and an adjusted loss slightly

86
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,080
worse than anticipated.

87
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,120
These moods are part of a broader strategy to adjust growth and network plans, moderate

88
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:26,080
hiring, and potentially reevaluate seating configurations to better align with customer

89
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,040
preferences and financial targets.

90
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,840
In business news, Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, saw its stock surge by

91
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:44,240
12% in after-hours trading, propel fly outstanding financial results, and significant strategic

92
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,960
announcements.

93
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,440
The company declared its first-ever cash dividend of 20 cents per share and authorized a $70

94
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,520
billion stock buyback.

95
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,940
These moods come as Alphabet reported a significant increase in first-quarter revenue, which soared

96
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:07,240
to over $80 billion, a 15% increase from the previous year.

97
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,960
Net income also impressively rose to nearly $24 billion.

98
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,560
This financial performance was driven by robust sales and advertising across search, YouTube,

99
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,880
and cloud services, beating analyst expectations.

100
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,200
The company's market capitalization also increased, indicating strong investor confidence

101
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,200
in its ongoing growth and innovation, especially in AI technology.

102
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,760
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,000.

103
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Ethereum is $3100.

104
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,680
Solana is $142.

105
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,160
Not much movement yesterday.

106
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,560
Moving on to a more local vibe.

107
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:00,500
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

108
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:04,640
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area.

110
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

111
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,320
and elevating mental well-being.

112
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

113
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,960
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

114
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,200
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

115
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,320
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

116
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,040
And now back to the show.

117
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Let's talk science.

118
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Archaeologists in France have unearthed a remarkable ancient site containing three interlocking

119
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:57,400
enclosures from different time periods, ranging from the Neolithic era to the First Iron Age.

120
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,580
This unique formation, including a circular center enclosure and adjacent horseshoe-shaped

121
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:10,560
and open circular designs, suggests complex usage and significant historical interconnections.

122
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:15,920
Intriguing artifacts found at the site, such as flint arrowheads, a copper alloy dagger,

123
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,680
and an armband possibly used for lighting fires, indicate rich cultural and commercial

124
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,520
activities.

125
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,920
This unprecedented discovery could provide new insights into ancient societal structures

126
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,920
and burial practices once further analysis is completed.

127
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,760
And in entertainment news.

128
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:45,840
The new Apple TV Plus docu-series, Hollywood Con Queen, delves into a notorious scam that

129
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,520
tricked numerous film industry hopefuls.

130
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,840
The series, set to premiere on May 8, explores the story of an impersonator known as the

131
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,360
Con Queen, who lured victims to Indonesia with promises of career opportunities, only to

132
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,880
lead them into financial and psychological ruin.

133
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,720
The scam attracted significant media attention, prompting investigations by journalist Spot

134
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,520
Johnson and private investigator Nichol Kotsiannis.

135
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:22,320
This three-part series is directed by Chris Smith, known for his work on Tiger King.

136
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,000
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

137
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,840
And today, our quote comes from an unknown source, but we can all appreciate it, I'm

138
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,840
sure.

139
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,800
Better days are coming.

140
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,720
And they're called Saturday and Sunday.

141
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320
And that's a wrap for this morning.

142
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:49,320
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,800
Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.

145
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:23,360
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
