19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,400 light offshore wind. 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:27,480 However, as the day progresses, expect wind to shift onshore, increasing to 10-15 mph 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,320 and creating bumpier conditions. 22 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,600 Monday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 3 plus feet 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,320

00:03:51,900 and Los Angeles respectively, are set to open locations in Pacific Beach at the Mission 49 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,400 and Garnet Food Hall. 50 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,520 This move marks an expansion into the San Diego area, with both establishments offering 51 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:07,240 their signature dishes, such as Sicilian-style pizzas and classic burgers from walk-up windows. 52 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,840 This new addition aims to enhance the dining options at one of the area's busiest intersections, 53 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:20,760 promising a vibrant late-night food scene. 54 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Now on to sports. 55 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,060 The Atlanta Hawks secured the number one pick in the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery, overcoming 56 00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:33,260 long odds with just a 3% chance of winning. 57 00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:37,280 This victory marks the first time in their history that the Hawks have landed the top 58 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,220 draft pick. 59 00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:44,320 With this advantageous position, Atlanta is now primed to make significant moves that 60 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,200 could reshape their team, potentially easing the process of restructuring their roster, 61 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,540 including a possible trade involving star player Trey Young. 62 00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:59,300 The upcoming draft presents an opportunity for the Hawks to select a cornerstone player 63 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:04,080 who could anchor the franchise for years to come. 64 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:12,220 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Dodgers 4-0. 65 00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:18,240 And tonight, the Padres are at home to take on the Rockies for the start of three game 66 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,240 series. 67 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:28,560 In top news, Prime Day, initiated by Amazon in 2015, has evolved beyond a mere sales event 68 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,240 to become a significant cultural phenomenon, influencing both consumer behavior and the 69 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,100 retail sector at large. 70 00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:43,240 This event capitalizes on current consumer trends towards value-driven purchases intensified 71 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,760 by ongoing economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures. 72 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:54,200 The success of Prime Day prompts other retailers to offer similar bargains, creating a ripple 73 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:00,240 effect across the entire retail landscape, effectively transforming July into a major 74 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,560 shopping season. 75 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,440 This shift not only drives sales but also allows retailers to clear old inventory in 76 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,320 preparation for the holiday season, highlighting how Prime Day has reshaped both consumer expectations 77 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320 and retail strategies. 78 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:23,480 In business news, the Biden administration is set to announce a drastic increase in tariffs 79 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:30,560 on Chinese electric vehicles, raising the current 25% rate to 100%. 80 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,800 This move is part of a broader strategy to protect American manufacturers of clean energy 81 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,960 products, including batteries and solar cells, from cheaper Chinese imports. 82 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,960 The decision is a response to concerns over the competitive-edge Chinese EVs have due 83 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,040 to lower costs and government subsidies, which threaten the viability of American automakers. 84 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Critics argue that such high tariffs might hinder the adoption of EVs in the US by keeping 85 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:06,240 more affordable options out of the market, potentially slowing progress on emission reductions. 86 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:16,640 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $61,000, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana is $141,000. 87 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:23,480 Moving on to a more local vibe. 88 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:29,400 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 89 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,560 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 90

00:08:07,280 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 97 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,000 And now back to the show. 98 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Let's talk science. 99 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,200 In a serendipitous discovery, a father-daughter duo, Tim and young Henley Wallach, stumbled 100 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,120 upon a 152-year-old shipwreck while fishing in Wisconsin. 101 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,360 This historical artifact, identified as the George Al Newman, has direct ties to the infamous 102 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,480 Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871. 103 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,960 The vessel, engulfed in dense smoke from the fire, ran aground, and was later abandoned. 104 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,300 This find not only adds a piece to Wisconsin's maritime history, but also serves as a tangible 105 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:53,800 link to America's deadliest wildfire, emphasizing the interconnectedness of historical events 106 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,320 and natural disasters. 107 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:05,680 And in entertainment news, Janet Maslin, a venerable American film critic, revisits the 108 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,880 expansive career of director Ron Howard, uncovering layers of depth and mastery in 109 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,120 his filmmaking. 110 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Having initially underestimated Howard during his early acting days and directorial debut, 111 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:26,160 Maslin acknowledges her oversight as she now recognizes his evolved craft. 112 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,680 From his portrayal in The Shootist, alongside Cinema Legends, to directing critically acclaimed 113 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:38,400 films like Apollo 13 and the poignant Hillbilly Elegy, Howard's work ethic and inventive 114 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,160 storytelling shine through. 115 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:48,160 His film, Thirteen Lies, lauded as one of the best American films of 2022, exemplifies 116 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,080 his skill in creating gripping narratives without unnecessary embellishments. 117 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,040 Through Maslin's reflection, Howard emerges not just as the nice figure from his acting 118 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,400 career, but as a formidable and thoughtful filmmaker whose contributions to cinema are 119 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160 both significant and enduring. 120 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 121 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:20,000 And today, our quote comes from the great director, producer, and writer, Ron Howard. 122 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000 And Ron said, 123 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,360 I used to feel that I had to be dictatorial in order to be respected. 124 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:33,120 But after I did a couple of TV movies, I began to see that authority came with the job. 125 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:40,280 So I began to relax and let more people into the process, and my work really improved. 126 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,880 And that's a wrap for this morning. 127 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,920 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 128 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400 with local news and the surf reports. 129 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,280 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 130 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,000 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
