Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, November 13th. You'll be interested
to know. 40 years ago, today, in 1985, Nevado
del Ruiz erupted, sending a towering column of
ash and deadly lahars that overwhelmed towns
and revealed the sheer power of volcanic hazards.
The tragedy spurred a global push for improved
volcano monitoring and early warning systems,
transforming disaster science and community preparedness
into a vital priority. So now you know. And now
it's time for the Surf Report. Thursday at Tourmaline.
This morning it's looking clean with 3 plus feet
from the southwest ground swell. Waves will hold
around 2 to 4 feet through the morning, then
drop slightly to 2 to 3 plus feet in the afternoon.
Winds are sideshore at 1 mile per hour now, shifting
onshore later at 5 miles per hour. Best time
to ride is at 6 a .m., with a 4 -foot outgoing
high tide, when the southwest swell is 2 feet
at 14 seconds, and the offshore wind is 1 mile
per hour. The first low tide on Thursday will
be 2 feet just before 11 a .m., followed by a
4 -foot high tide just before 430. The nearshore
buoy at Mission Bay West reads 65 degrees for
the water temperature. Expect clean conditions
on Friday with waves around 2 to 4 feet, tapering
off slightly by evening. Saturday sees choppy
4 to 6 foot surf as onshore winds pick up, creating
less favorable conditions throughout the day.
Conditions improve again on Sunday with waves
building to 3 plus feet in cleaner faces, offering
a more enjoyable surf experience. This morning
it's mostly cloudy and it feels like 65 degrees
with no wind. The sunset will take place at 449.
and it will rise again tomorrow at 621. It looks
like we're in for some partly sunny skies today,
with a high near 70 and a light south wind at
5. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy conditions,
with rain showers likely, a low around 61, and
a light breeze. Looking ahead in the weather,
Friday will be cloudy with rain showers before
4 p .m. Then showers and thunderstorms with a
high near 68 and a south wind 5 to 10 miles per
hour, gusting as high as 20. Showers and thunderstorms
continue Friday night into Saturday with some
heavy rainfall possible and lows around 61. Then
periods of showers and thunderstorms keep Saturday
and Saturday night mostly cloudy with highs near
66 and lows near 58. Rain showers are likely
Sunday with a high near 65. Then Sunday night
into Monday, bring mainly chance showers with

news, ushered in with a crackling cannon fire
salute, a 111 -year -old Norwegian Tall ship
arrived in San Diego on Tuesday as part of its
around -the -world tour, highlighting the city's
involvement in maritime technology and ocean
conservation. The Statsrad Lemko, one of the
largest square -rigged sailing ships still in
operation, docked at Broadway Pier following
a ceremonial escort from the Maritime Museum
of San Diego's fleet. This week, the vessel will
host public tours, educational programs, and
an innovation summit. The visit celebrates the
spirit of exploration, innovation, and ocean
preservation that San Diego shares with Norway
and other coastal nations. Tours of the Stats
Red Lemko are available on Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday. Now on to sports. As Paul Skeens
continually conjured magical starts this summer,
Pittsburgh Pirates catchers Henry Davis and Joey
Bart whispered about the Sai Yam Award. The celebration
began when Skeens won the National League Award,
earning all 30 first -place votes. Skeens is
the second pitcher in major league baseball history
to win Rookie of the Year and Sai Yam in consecutive
seasons. He led the majors in earned run average
at 1 .97 and the National League in walks and
hits, per inning pitched at 0 .948. Skeens is
the Pirates' third Cy Young winner, joining Verne
Law and Dog Drebeck in local sports. The city
of Pasadena is suing to block the reported move
of UCLA football games from the Rose Bowl to
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Bruins
have played at the Historic Rose Bowl since 1982,
with a lease running through 2044. Pasadena officials
filed for a temporary restraining order in Los
Angeles County Superior Court to prevent the
relocation. A spokesperson declined to comment
but referred to a previous statement about the
lease agreement. The statement emphasized there
is no option for UCLA to terminate the lease
before its expiration. UCLA does not pay rent
at the Rose Bowl, but could seek revenue at SoFi
Stadium. In top news, using your credit card

A settlement between Visa and MasterCard, along
with US merchants, could lead to tiered pricing

which banks collect from merchants for credit
card transactions. If approved, merchants could
charge different fees based on credit card categories,
allowing for surcharges based on card type. However,
analysts warned that adding fees might alienate
customers, as many would switch payment methods
to avoid surcharges. Despite changes, rewards
programs are likely to remain intact. In business
news, The decline of cable television just hit
a major milestone. For years, the pay television
business seemed to defy gravity. However, that
is no longer the case, as the industry has been
eroding for a decade. A recent estimate from
Madison and Wall shows that 15 years ago, nearly
9 in 10 United States households had a pay television
subscription. But by the end of 2025, That number
will drop to 5 out of 10. This decline explains
why companies like Comcast and Warner Brothers
Discovery are trying to sell or spin off their
cable television assets. Advertisers are also
noticing that higher levels of audience reach
can be found elsewhere. In crypto movement, Bitcoin

ID, which will be accepted by the Transportation
Security Administration at checkpoints in more
than 250 airports across the United States. This
feature allows users to create and store an ID
in Apple Wallet using their United States passport.
Digital ID acceptance will roll out first at
TSA checkpoints for domestic travel. Users can
present their digital ID instead of a real ID
using an iPhone or Apple Watch. However, it is
not a replacement for a physical passport and
