WEBVTT 00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:04.330 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:09.169 Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:13.490 and it's Friday, March 13th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:20.629 to know. 245 years ago, today in 1781, William 00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:23.510 Herschel spotted a faint planet through a new 00:00:23.510 --> 00:00:26.829 reflecting telescope and recognized it as a distinct 00:00:26.829 --> 00:00:29.829 world beyond Saturn, opening a broader view of 00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:34.020 the solar system. The finding elevated observational 00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.280 astronomy adding a seventh planet to the catalog 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.579 of known worlds and inspiring improved instruments 00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:44.399 and systematic sky surveys that advanced planetary 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.240 science. So now you know. And now it's time for 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:57.119 the Surf Report. Friday at Tourmaline. This morning 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.560 it's looking clean with waves around three to 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.140 five feet. Conditions stay clean until about 00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:06.079 10 a .m. when they shift to fair as the wind 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.459 goes side -shore. By noon, expect the waves to 00:01:10.459 --> 00:01:14.159 drop to 3 to 4 feet and the wind to pick up onshore 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.780 at 5 miles per hour. Best time to ride is at 00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:23.000 7 a .m. with a 4 -foot outgoing high tide when 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.200 the southwest swell is 2 feet at 16 seconds and 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.170 the offshore wind is 3 mile per hour. The first 00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:34.609 low tide on Friday will be zero -foot at 1 .30 00:01:34.609 --> 00:01:37.629 p .m., followed by a three -and -a -half -foot 00:01:37.629 --> 00:01:42.209 high tide at 8 .30. The near -shore buoy at Mission 00:01:42.209 --> 00:01:46.049 Bay West reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:47.709 --> 00:01:50.250 Expect fair conditions on Saturday with waves 00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:53.670 ranging from two to three feet, but choppy conditions 00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:57.090 will develop by midday as winds shift to the 00:01:57.090 --> 00:02:00.989 south. Sunday brings a steady increase in swell, 00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:04.829 with clean sets reaching 3 to 4 feet early, offering 00:02:04.829 --> 00:02:08.229 the best surf of the period. Monday continues 00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:11.330 with solid 3 to 5 foot waves, though conditions 00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:15.689 may become choppy later in the day. This morning, 00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:19.409 it's sunny and it feels like 64 degrees with 00:02:19.409 --> 00:02:23.729 no wind. The sunset will take place at 6 .56 00:02:23.729 --> 00:02:27.990 and it will rise again tomorrow at 7 .01. It 00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:30.389 looks like we're in for a sunny Friday with a 00:02:30.389 --> 00:02:33.310 high near 88 and a light breeze from the south. 00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:39.110 Tonight, expect patchy fog after 11 p .m., mostly 00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:43.750 cloudy skies with a low around 59 and calm winds. 00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:49.509 Looking ahead in the weather. Saturday will start 00:02:49.509 --> 00:02:52.930 with patchy fog before 11 a .m., then turn partly 00:02:52.930 --> 00:02:56.129 sunny with a high near 80 and a light south wind. 00:02:56.250 --> 00:03:00.090 up to 10 miles per hour. Sunday and Monday stay 00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:03.810 mostly to fully sunny with highs near 79 on Sunday, 00:03:04.129 --> 00:03:07.370 then rising to near 85 Monday, with lows in the 00:03:07.370 --> 00:03:11.729 mid to upper 50s each night. Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:15.169 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles 00:03:15.169 --> 00:03:19.039 Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

In local news, more 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.520 than 100 San Diego high schoolers learned about 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.599 personal finance at Intuit's San Diego campus 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.879 on Thursday, as California moves to require a 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:03.259 semester of personal finance for all high schoolers. 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:08.560 About 150 students from San Diego Unified, Poway, 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:12.099 Grossmont, and Sandigedo Union participated in 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.830 the workshop. Intuit's Financial Literacy Forum 00:04:15.830 --> 00:04:18.790 aims to bring complex money concepts to life 00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:22.050 via interactive tools and scenarios featuring 00:04:22.050 --> 00:04:26.350 game -style financial challenges. In June 2024, 00:04:26.829 --> 00:04:31.050 Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2927 into 00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:34.470 law, adding a standalone personal finance course 00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:42.750 to high school graduation requirements. Now onto 00:04:42.750 --> 00:04:47.009 sports. The Minnesota Vikings made a significant 00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:50.389 move on Thursday, signing quarterback Kyler Murray 00:04:50.389 --> 00:04:53.829 to a one -year contract worth $1 .3 million. 00:04:54.910 --> 00:04:57.610 This decision comes after Murray was released 00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:00.470 by the Arizona Cardinals, who had guaranteed 00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:05.790 him $36 .8 million. If Murray replaces J .J. 00:05:06.050 --> 00:05:08.629 McCarthy, the implications could reshape the 00:05:08.629 --> 00:05:11.959 Vikings' offense. Murray's mixed tenure with 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.480 the Cardinals included injuries and questions 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.699 about his leadership. With a history of injuries, 00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:21.620 McCarthy faces pressure to adapt his game. If 00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:24.079 ain't the starter, Murray's dual threat ability 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.240 could elevate his fantasy value. In local sports, 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.439 the Aztecs picked a great time to address their 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.529 rebounding struggles. dominating Colorado State 00:05:34.529 --> 00:05:38.970 by 12 boards in a 71 -62 victory on Thursday 00:05:38.970 --> 00:05:42.730 night in Las Vegas. This win puts them just two 00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:45.649 wins away from an automatic spot in March Madness, 00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:48.529 despite a rough night shooting from long range, 00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:51.709 hitting only one out of 11 three -point attempts. 00:05:52.910 --> 00:05:55.689 Miles Byrd led the team with 12 points, while 00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:58.670 Reece Dixon -Waters and Farrah Compton each added 00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:03.079 11. PSDSU's depth shined, with all nine players 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.459 logging at least 15 minutes, outscoring the Rams 00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:10.779 bench 24 -6. They now prepare to face either 00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:14.220 New Mexico or San Jose State in the semifinals. 00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:19.939 In top news, what to know about the growing potential 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:24.180 for a Super El Niño later this year? A significant 00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:27.139 shift in the Pacific Ocean, known as the El Niño 00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:30.240 climate pattern, is increasingly likely to develop 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.139 this summer and continue through the 2026 Atlantic 00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:37.959 hurricane season. Forecasters estimate a 50 to 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.420 60 percent chance of this transition occurring 00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:43.939 in late summer and beyond. If El Nino develops 00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.879 during the summer, it could lead to fewer tropical 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.319 storms and hurricanes. The strength of El Nino 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.060 later in the season could significantly impact 00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:55.899 hurricane activity in late October and November. 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.920 Increased precipitation could also occur in parts 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.079 of the West experiencing prolonged dry conditions. 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:08.480 In business news, lithium was discovered deep 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.079 underground in northeast Texas, sparking a competitive 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.279 race for access. The Smukover Formation, previously 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.100 known for its oil, is now recognized for containing 00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:23.420 some of the purest lithium brine worldwide. Local 00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:27.220 attorney B .F. Hicks is actively engaged in negotiating 00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:30.519 lithium leases as companies flood this rural 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.120 area seeking this critical mineral. With U .S. 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.939 lithium consumption projected to surge by 74 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:42.180 % annually by 2029, Texas is positioning itself 00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:44.800 as a significant player in the lithium sector. 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.100 Companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron are already 00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:51.920 investing heavily. aiming to capitalize on this 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.759 emerging resource. In crypto movement, Bitcoin 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:02.560 is up 6 % for the week to about $71 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.939 is up 7 % to just over $2 ,000. And XRP is up 00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:15.319 4 % to $1 .41.

According to 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.600 Macworld, this development highlights the increasing 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.980 significance of Mac Mini for artificial intelligence 00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:28.620 applications. The system mandates user approval 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:31.440 for sensitive actions and provides full audit 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.720 trails, although specific configurations and 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.179 pricing remain undisclosed. Interestingly, while 00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:42.500 AI companies lean towards powerful NVIDIA graphics 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:45.350 processing units, Home enthusiasts are turning 00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:49.610 to Mac May for their AI needs. Proplexity claims 00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:52.669 that personal computer is more powerful than 00:09:52.669 --> 00:09:59.309 any AI system ever launched. And in entertainment 00:09:59.309 --> 00:10:03.409 news, the Leifert Tower is getting crowded as 00:10:03.409 --> 00:10:07.129 social media star, gymnast, and now actress Livy 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:10.389 Dunn has joined the cast of Fox's Baywatch reboot, 00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:14.519 the network announced on Thursday.
