1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Friday, August 30th. 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Forty-one years ago, today, in 1983, 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000 the Leon S. Bluford, a United States astronaut, became the first African American to travel into space, 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000 serving as a mission specialist aboard the shuttle Orbiter Challenger, and later flew on three other missions. 7 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:43,000 This historic achievement marked a significant milestone in space exploration and inspired future generations of astronauts. 8 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000 So now you know. 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 10 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Expect knee-high swell with occasional thigh-high sets from Friday to Monday. 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Mornings will be semi-glassy-to-glassy with light offshore winds becoming semi-choppy to semi-bumpy in the afternoons as winds shift to onshore. 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 13 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000 It's looking fair in the morning until 11, at two feet. 14 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000 That gets a little choppy midday, but should be rideable for a sunset session. 15 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with the three-foot incoming high tide, 16 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000 when the northwest swell is one feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is five mile per hour. 17 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:46,000 The first high tide Friday will be four foot at 9 a.m. with a two and a half foot low tide at 1 45. 18 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000 This morning it's cloudy and feels like 66 degrees with eight mile per hour wind. 19 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000 The sunset will take place at 7 14 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 23. 20 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny Friday with temperatures reaching near 76 and a northwest breeze. 21 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Tonight, expect patchy fog after 11 p.m. partly cloudy skies with a low of 64 and light winds. 22 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning through Tuesday clearing by mid-morning. 23 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Days will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and light west winds. 24 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Nights will be partly cloudy with lows in the mid 60s. 25 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 26 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000 20-unit apartment building in Ocean Beach. 35 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000 The project, intended to replace a vacant one-story building at Point Loma Avenue and Evers Street, 36 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 was halted due to environmental and safety concerns. 37 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000 The commission unanimously approved an appeal declaring the lot part of the Ocean Beach Cottage a merging historical district. 38 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Local residents celebrated the decision, emphasizing the need to preserve the neighborhood's character. 39 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000 However, some argue the project would provide affordable housing in a high-resource area. 40 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Now on to sports. 41 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000 College football is in chaos, yet fans are more excited than ever. 42 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Recent changes, such as players profiting from their name, image, and likeness, relaxed transfer rules, 43 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,000 and schools chasing television dollars, have created rare match-ups in novel locations. 44 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Resale ticket sales are up 42% compared to last season, hotel rates are surging, 45 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000 and airlines are adding flights to meet demand. 46 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,000 A prime example is LSU vs. USC at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this weekend. 47 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:54,000 In local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Cardinals 4-1. 48 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,000 And tonight, the Padres are on the road in Tampa Bay to take on the Rays. 49 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000 In top news, this summer has been the most humid on record, driven by human-caused climate change, 50 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000 intensifying heat waves and downpours. 51 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Scientists confirm that both the United States and the planet are experiencing unprecedented humidity levels, 52 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000 pushing heat close to survival limits in some regions. 53 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000 This increase in humid heat, predicted by climate models, has serious consequences, 54 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,000 including greater stress on the human body, more extreme rainfall, and increased cooling demand. 55 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000 With a few days left in meteorological summer, 2024 is set to break records for humidity, 56 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000 continuing a trend that has doubled extreme humid heat since 1979. 57 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000 In business news, Apple is reportedly considering investing in OpenAI during its next fundraising round, 58 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000 which would value OpenAI at more than $100 billion. 59 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:11,000 This move follows Apple's June announcement of a partnership with OpenAI for artificial intelligence features. 60 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Microsoft, a longtime Apple rival, has already invested $13 billion in OpenAI, 61 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 complicating potential returns for Apple. 62 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000 This investment could dilute Microsoft's role as OpenAI's primary benefactor, 63 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000 reflecting the fierce competition and high stakes in the artificial intelligence race. 64 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Both companies are valued at over $3 trillion, 65 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:42,000 and the artificial intelligence boom is spurring their race to a $4 trillion market cap. 66 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $59,000, 67 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Ethereum is just over $2,500, 68 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000 and Solana is $139. 69 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Moving on to a more local vibe. 70 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 71 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,000 we are working with a national

properties of matcha, 83 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 these drinks offer both an energy lift and enhanced mental focus. 84 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000 As interest in health and wellness grows, caffeine alternatives are gaining traction. 85 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Mushroom coffee combines ground coffee beans with adaptogenic mushrooms, 86 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 providing antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. 87 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Matcha green tea delivers sustained energy without jitters, thanks to the amine of acid, L-thionine. 88 00:08:26,000 -->

00:08:45,000 Guarana boosts cognitive performance, and turmeric lats deliver powerful antioxidant benefits. 91 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 The Entertainment News 92 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Amid global turmoil, the Telly Ride Film Festival returns to Colorado with a politically charged lineup. 93 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:07,000 The 2024 edition features nearly 40 films and shorts,

the redemptive power of cinema. 98 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 99 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000 And today, our quote comes from the American astronaut, Guyane S. Bluford. 100 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 And he said, 101 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:02,000 I wanted to set the standard, do the best job possible, so that other people would be comfortable with African Americans flying in space. 102 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000 And African Americans would be proud of being participants in the space program. 103 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 And that's a wrap for this morning. 104 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:21,000 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with local news and the surf reports. 105 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.
