Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Monday, November 3rd. You'll be interested
to know. 68 years ago, today, in 1957, Soviet
engineers launched Sputnik 2, carrying a small
dog named Leika into orbit, demonstrating rapid
progress in space -like capabilities. The successful
orbital mission marked a major milestone in human
curiosity and technological achievement, inspiring
international focus on space exploration and
scientific innovation. So now you know. And now,
it's time for the Surf Report. Monday at Tourmaline.
This morning it's looking clean with waves around
4 to 6 plus feet. Conditions remain clean through
the morning with the wind offshore at 2 miles
per hour at 7 a .m. and increasing slightly to
3 miles per hour by 8 a .m. Expect a shift to
onshore winds by 10 a .m. at 1 mile per hour,
creating fair conditions for the rest of the
day. Best time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a five
-foot incoming high tide when the west -northwest
swell is three and a half feet at 15 seconds.
and the offshore wind is zero mile per hour.
The first high tide on Monday will be six feet
just before 7 a .m., followed by a zero -foot
low tide at 1 .30. The nearshore buoy at Mission
Bay West reads 69 degrees for the water temperature.
Conditions remain clean with waves in the three
- to four -foot range on Tuesday, complemented
by light southeast winds. Wednesday sees a slight
decrease in size, with waves dropping to 2 to
4 feet and choppy conditions developing by the
afternoon. A significant increase in swell on
Thursday brings 4 to 10 foot waves, though choppy
conditions persist throughout the day. This morning
there's patchy fog and it feels like 64 degrees
with no wind. The sunset will take place at 4
.56. and it will rise again tomorrow at 612.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog early
today, clearing up by mid -morning, then becoming
partly sunny with a high near 73 and a light
north wind. Tonight, expect more patchy fog after
10, with mostly cloudy skies, a low around 57,
and calm winds. Looking ahead in the weather,
Tuesday starts with patchy fog, before 10 a .m.
then becomes mostly sunny with a high near 73
and a light south wind. Mostly cloudy nights
Tuesday through Thursday will hold lows around
57, then Friday stays mostly sunny with a high
near 74 and a milder night around 59. Bonjour,

news, researchers at the University of California
San Diego have made an exciting discovery, uncovering
an unpublished manuscript by Dr. Seuss, featuring
the beloved cat in the hat that celebrates the
United States. Titled Sing the 50 United States,
this manuscript will be published next year,
just in time for America's 250th anniversary.
This marks the first full manuscript discovered
since What Pet Should I Get? was released posthumously
in 2015. The manuscript was found at the Geisel
Library, along with a cover sketch and notes
by Theodor Geisel, and features new illustrations
by artist Tom Brannen. Random House Children's
Books plans to publish the book on June 2, 2026,
with an initial printing of 500 ,000 copies.
Now on to sports. In the latest NFL news, the
Indianapolis Colts suffered a disappointing loss
to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a final score
of 27 -20. Porterback Daniel Jones struggled,
leading to skepticism about his future and the
Colts' Super Bowl aspirations. Despite a 7 -1
record, doubts lingered due to this performance.
Jones, who had been strong all season, faced
pressure and made critical mistakes, resulting
in four turnovers. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford
shined for the Rams, throwing four touchdowns
in a 34 -10 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
The Kansas City Chiefs also faced challenges,
potentially impacting their playoff positioning
after a loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Cincinnati
Bengals defense remains a concern following a
last -minute defeat by the Chicago Bears. The
Atlanta Falcons continue to struggle with kicking
issues, while the Green Bay Packers lost to the
Carolina Panthers in a surprising upset. These
outcomes highlight the unpredictability of this
NFL season in local sports. Jim Harbaugh drew
a strange comparison between quarterback Justin
Herbert and Hall of Fame fullback Larry Zonka.
In week nine, the Los Angeles Chargers secured
a victory over the Tennessee Titans with a score
of 27 to 20. Despite a messy game, Herbert excelled,
leading the team in rushing with 49 yards and
a touchdown. Harbaugh's comparison, while somewhat
tongue -in -cheek, highlights Herbert's impressive
ability to play through contact. This capability
is essential for the Chargers' offensive success,
especially with injuries affecting their offensive
line and running game. Herbert's rushing ability
could be a key factor this season. In top news,
more than 10 million YouTube TV customers lost
access to ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels
Thursday night after contract negotiations over
carriage fees collapsed. The dispute reflects
broader tensions, as programming companies demand
higher fees for sports content, while pay television
providers push back against rising subscriber
bills. College football and NFL games are among
the affected programming, with no clear resolution
timeline. YouTube TV stated, We know this is
a frustrating and disappointing outcome for our
subscribers. The blackout could lead to a $20
credit for subscribers if it lasts for an extended
period. In business news, Donald Trump's grant
of clemency to Cheng Fengzhao, the founder of
finance, highlights failures and checks on presidential
power. During a recent exchange with CNN's Caitlin
Collins, Trump dismissed questions about the
pardon, claiming Zheo had a lot of support, and
was persecuted by the Biden administration. Zheo,
known as See These, was convicted for failing
to maintain an effective anti -money laundering
program and has a net worth of roughly $60 billion.
Despite his controversial pardon, Trump continues
to benefit from the cryptocurrency industry.
raising concerns about corruption and the integrity
of the American political system. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 3 % over the weekend to $108
,000. Ethereum is down 6 % to about $3 ,700.
And XRP is unchanged at $2 .43. Moving on to

And now back to the show. Let's talk science.
The ocean is doing its best to absorb excess
heat from greenhouse emissions, but once humanity
achieves a net negative carbon economy, the consequences
will be severe. A new study indicates that when
cooling begins after fossil fuel use is stopped,
the ocean will burp excess heat, resembling the
effects of humanity's fossil fuel era. This emphasizes
the urgency of reducing emissions. Achieving
a net neutral world is crucial. The ocean produces
50 % of our oxygen and absorbs 30 % of atmospheric
carbon. Even in an ideal climate scenario, heat
trapped in the Southern Ocean could result in
significant warming effects for decades. This
research highlights the complexity of our climate
goals, suggesting that the road to a healthier
planet is still challenging. The National Football
League announces that Sting will headline the
Super Bowl branded concert amid controversy surrounding
Bad Bunny. The Every Breath You Take singer will
perform in San Francisco on February 6th at the
Palace of Fine Arts, two days before Bad Bunny's
halftime show. Sting's performance is part of
the Super Bowl LX Studio 60 event, which promises
unforgettable music entertainment. Tickets for
Sting's concert start at $750 each. Despite criticism
of Bad Bunny's selection for the halftime show,
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell remains optimistic
about the event. Sting previously performed at
the Super Bowl halftime show in 2003. Well, all
righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
day. And today... Our quote comes from the American
marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle.
And she said, And that's a wrap for this morning.
