Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, September 5th. You'll be interested
to know. Forty -eight years ago, today in 1977,
NASA launched the Voyager 1 spacecraft, a shining
testament to human curiosity and exploration
from Cape Canaveral, Florida. That bold mission
carried our hopes beyond the outer planets, unveiling
the wonders of Jupiter and Saturn, and continues
to send back precious data from interstellar
space, inspiring generations to reach for the
stars. So now you know. And now, it's time for
the Surf Report. Friday at Tourmaline. This morning
it's looking fair with waves at three to four
feet. Conditions hold steady through the morning.
By midday, expect them to drop to two to three
feet and become choppy. Winds are on shore at
five to six miles per hour, increasing slightly
later. Overall, it's a decent morning before
the chop sets in this afternoon. Best time to
ride is at 7 a .m. with the three -foot incoming
high tide when the south -southwest swell is
2 .5 feet at 14 seconds, and the onshore wind
is 5 mile per hour. The first high tide on Friday
will be 4 .5 feet at 9 a .m., followed by a 2
-foot low tide just before 2. The nearshore GUI
at Mission Bay West reads 72 degrees for the
water temperature. Saturday offers clean conditions
with waves around 3 plus feet in the morning,
gradually becoming choppy by midday. Sunday maintains
similar size, but features cleaner faces early
on, making it the standout day with consistent
three -plus -foot subs. Monday sees a slight
decrease to two to three feet, with air conditions
prevailing throughout the day, making for a more
mellow surf experience. This morning, there's
patchy fog, and it feels like 71 degrees with
no wind. The sunset will take place at 710, and
it will rise again tomorrow at 628. It looks
like we're in for some patchy fog early today,
clearing by mid -morning, leading to mostly sunny
skies with a high near 78 and a light northwest
breeze. Tonight, expect patchy fog after 11 p
.m. with partly cloudy skies and a low around
65 with very light winds. Looking ahead in the
weather. Expect patchy fog before 11 a .m. on
Saturday, then mostly sunny skies with a high
near 79. Saturday night brings patchy fog after
11 p .m. with partly cloudy skies and a low around
66. On Sunday, expect patchy fog before 11 a
.m. and mostly sunny skies with a high near 81.
Sunday night has patchy fog after 11 p .m. with
partly cloudy skies and a low around 65. Monday
starts with patchy fog before 11 a .m. then mostly
sunny skies with a high near 77. Monday night
will be mostly cloudy with a low around 64. On
Tuesday expect partly sunny skies with a high
near 76. Tuesday night will be mostly cloudy
with a low around 65. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, Spirit
Airlines will stop service at San Diego International
Airport on October 4th, just weeks before the
new terminal one opens. The budget airline, known
for offering flights to destinations like Las
Vegas, for as little as $25 one way, is restructuring
its operations. This decision comes as Spirit
announced its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing
in under a year, allowing it to continue flying
while it reorganizes. Airport spokeswoman Nicole
Hall reassured that other carriers will still
serve the routes previously offered by Spirit.
including Detroit, Oakland, San Jose, and Las
Vegas. Spirit will retain a preferential gate
at the new Terminal 1, which will be used by
another airline after their departure. Now onto
sports. Caitlin Clark's season is officially
over, as the Indiana Fever star announced on
social media Thursday night. I had hoped to share
a better update. but I will not be returning
to play this season." She expressed her feelings
of disappointment, thanking fans for their support
through this frustrating time. Clark has been
sidelined since July 16th with a right groin
injury, and despite her hard work to recover,
time was not on her side. Last night, we kicked
off the NFL season with Cowboys at Eagles. Philly
came out on top 24 to 20. After a brief lightning
delay, the Eagles pulled ahead with Jalen Hertz
going 19 for 23 with 152 yards. Hertz really
shined in the running game and the boys couldn't
stop him as he racked up 62 yards rushing with
two touchdowns. Dak Prescott was in good form
with 188 yards passing, going 21 for 34. And
tonight, the brilliant decision -makers at NFL
headquarters decided to take a home game away
from the Chargers, with their opening game being
played in Brazil as they face the Chiefs. This
game can only be watched on YouTube, luckily
for free, with a game time at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific.
On to college football tomorrow. Not too many
big matchups, but a good one might be number
15 Michigan. At number 18, Oklahoma, which kicks
off at 430 Pacific on ABC, the Sooners are favored
by five and a half. In local sports, the Padres
were off last night. Tonight, they open game
one of a three -game series against the Rockies
at Coors Field in Denver. The pitcher has yet
to be determined for the Friars. Kyle Freeland
takes the mound for Colorado, holding a record
of 3 in 14 with a 5 .41 earned run average. First
pitch is set for 540. The temperature is a comfortable
69 degrees under partly sunny skies. In top news,
Mayhew Bowyer at the center of the Shohei Otani
That betting scandal received more than $16 million
in wires from Otani's account, and this led to
an investigation threatening the Las Vegas gambling
scene. Bowyer, a former poker player, became
involved in an illegal bookmaking operation,
attracting clients through various means. In
December 2023, Otani signed a record contract
with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but by March 2024,
reports emerged linking him to illegal gambling,
leading to Atani denying any involvement. Bowyer,
who had been successfully running his operation
for years, now faces serious legal repercussions
as his empire crumbles under scrutiny. In business
news, this stock just displaced Palantir to become
the S &P 500's top -performing stock. Move over,
Palantir. you have new competition, Seagate,
the computer storage provider. Artificial Intelligence
Defense Contractor Palantir has a Mastic Cult
following with a $370 billion valuation and one
of the richest valuations of all time. However,
after ascending nearly 2 ,000 % from its October
2020 initial public offering and joining the
S &P 500 Index, the company has hit a setback.

digital storage company Seagate Technology has
helped it quietly displace the one -time best
performer in the index. Seagate is now the best
-performing stock in the index while Palantir
sits at number two. In crypto movement, Bitcoin

Just be sure to tell them Sunny morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. This disease is on the rise, and many
people do not know that they have it. Nine out
of ten people with chronic kidney disease only
find out when it progresses to later stages.
An estimated 700 million people worldwide have
chronic kidney disease. including 35 .5 million
people in the United States. Experts warn that
the biggest health risk associated with chronic
kidney disease is dying from heart disease. Early
detection is key to slowing the progression of
kidney damage, especially with new treatments
available. What should have been the perfect
pairing of artist and material? instead falls
victim to impossible expectations, as the master
overstops his creations. Oscar Isaac plays Victor
Frankenstein more as a tortured artist than a
scientist. More than once, incensed characters
accuse the mad doctor of being the true monster
in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Del Toro
remains a cinematic master with every costume
set. and propcrafted with formidable imagination
and daunting attention to detail. However, the
film feels as if we are watching through a peephole.
Alas, Del Toro's depiction of sexuality remains
strangely stunted, raising questions about the
monster's attraction. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today...
Our quote comes from the American astronaut and
physicist, Sally Ride. And she said, science
is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural
curiosity. Science is a process of investigating.
It's posing questions and coming up with a method.
It's delving in. And that's a wrap for this morning.

day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San
Diego.
