we're in for another day of rain, with thunderstorms possible after 11 12 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,640 a.m. 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,920 Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,280 We'll have a high near 60, with southeast wind 5 to 10 mile per hour and gust as high 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,560 as 20. 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,920 Chance of precipitation is 100%. 17 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,520 New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch. 18 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,280 Tonight, rain and possibly a thunderstorm before 5 a.m., then showers and possibly a 19 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,120 thunderstorm after 5 a.m. 20 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,120 The low will be around 50, with southwest wind 5 to 10 mile per hour and gusts as high 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,440 as 20. 22 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,400 Chance of precipitation is 90%. 23 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,360 New rainfall amounts between a half and

00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,440 Conditions are a bit rough with onshore south wind, but there's promise of chest to head 27 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,000 high waves, especially at spots favoring longer periods. 28 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,120 Wednesday brings more size. 29 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,920 Look forward to a potential upswing in conditions by Thursday, with more consistent swells and 30 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,880 a warmer weekend ahead. 31 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,500 In Encinitas and North County, it's another yikes, and it's two to three feet of nothing 32 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,040 but chop suey. 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,040 Stay tuned to the end of the show for some Netflix recommendations to get you through 34 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,280 the rainy week. 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,440 The first high tide Tuesday will be five and a half feet around 6 a.m., with another high 36 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,400 tide around 8 p.m. 37 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:42,680 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59.5 degrees for the water temperature. 38 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,800 Looking ahead in the weather. 39 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080 I'm sorry to report more rain. 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:53,040 We'll see a damp Wednesday with showers and a possible thunderstorm before 11 a.m., 41 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,440 turning to scattered showers later. 42 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,920 The temperature will hover around 56 degrees, with a west wind of 5 to 15 mile per hour. 43 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,840 Nighttime brings more scattered showers and a low near 52. 44 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,600 Thursday and Friday will continue with scattered showers and mostly cloudy skies, highs around 45 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,360 the mid-50s and slightly cooler nights around 50. 46 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 47 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,880 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and

00:03:58,440 Sunny mornings send you. 55 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,440 In local news. 56 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:07,640 San Diego Opera has set to stage Mozart's classic opera Don Giovanni with a modern twist. 57 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,600 Directed by Kyle Lange, the production will see characters in contemporary attire and 58 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,600 settings. 59 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,120 It deviates from traditional presentations, featuring interactive elements like singers 60 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,660 moving around the audience and innovative use of projections. 61 00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:28,720 This approach aims to attract new, younger audiences and adapt to reduced budgets in 62 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,440 the opera industry. 63 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:36,560 The story, rooted in the tale of Don Juan, explores themes of power and morality. 64 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,440 Lange, who recently settled in San Diego, brings a fresh perspective to this centuries-old 65 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,000 opera, emphasizing a more personal and immersive experience for viewers. 66 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,880 The opera is now open at the San Diego Civic Theater. 67 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,880 Now on to sports. 68 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,840 Bodywit Jr., the Kansas City Royal's standout shortstop, has signed a groundbreaking 11-year 69 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,920 contract extension worth $288.7 million. 70 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:19,160 This deal, potentially extending to 14 years and almost $400 million, is the largest in 71 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,840 Royal's history. 72 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,820 It reflects the team's commitment to building a competitive team around Witt, who delivered 73 00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:31,320 a spectacular 30-home run and 49 stolen base season. 74 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,560 The contract includes player opt-outs and a no-trade clause, underscoring Witt's importance 75 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,520 to the franchise and its future ambitions. 76 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:47,760 In the NBA last night, the Lakers on the road beat the Hornets 124 to 118, and the Clippers 77 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:55,440 also on the road beat the Hawks 149 to 144. 78 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:02,120 And top news, scientists are raising concerns about Nissin, a common antimicrobial preservative 79 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,840 found in foods like beer, cheese, and sauces. 80 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,600 Nissin, a natural product of bacteria, functions as an antibiotic, effectively controlling 81 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,480 foodborne diseases. 82 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,640 However, recent studies suggest it might also harm beneficial gut microbes. 83 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,040 These good bacteria play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and mental health. 84 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Eliminating them can disturb gut balance and potentially allow harmful bacteria to proliferate. 85 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,080 Research shows both good and bad gut bacteria are susceptible to Nissin's effects. 86 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,720 While these impacts seem reversible, with gut microbiome populations returning to normal 87 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,040 within days of Nissin consumption, the broader implications on gut health are still under 88 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,040 investigation. 89 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:59,120 This finding is significant considering the widespread use of Nissin in food preservation. 90 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,480 Now on to business news. 91 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,040 Palantir Technologies projects a strong profit in 2024, exceeding Wall Street predictions 92 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,920 thanks to high demand for its AI products. 93 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:18,000 This forecast marks its first profitable year, with shares increasing over 19%. 94 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,720 The company's growth is driven by a significant rise in U.S. commercial revenue, up 70% to 95 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:35,040 $131 million, and the closing of 103 deals, over $1 million each in the fourth quarter. 96 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:42,240 Despite a slowdown in government revenue growth, Palantir's total commercial revenue of $284 97 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640 million surpassed expectations. 98 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:54,160 The company's 2024 profit is forecasted between $834 and $850 million, indicating 99 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,880 sustained AI-driven success. 100 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:06,280 In crypto, Bitcoin was briefly up today, but is now back safe and sound at $42,700, Ethereum 101 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:15,240 is about $2,300, and Solana is down to about $95. 102 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 103 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:24,560 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 104 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 105 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,200 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 106 00:08:34,200 -->

00:08:46,760 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 109 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:53,040 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 110 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,320 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 111 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 112 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,400 And now back to the show. 113 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,360 Now let's talk science and tech. 114 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,200 After 141 years of debate, scientists from New York University have solved the reverse 115 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:22,000 sprinkler problem, a question that has intrigued physicists since 1883. 116 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,320 The question, originally posed by Austrian physicist Ernst Mach and later popularized 117 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:34,200 by Richard Feynman, asked, what direction would a water-sucking sprinkler spin? 118 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Using custom-built sprinklers with ultra-low friction rotary bearings, the NYU team conducted 119 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:46,600 experiments to observe the fluid dynamics inside and outside the sprinkler. 120 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,840 They found that a reverse sprinkler spins counterclockwise, albeit 50 times slower than 121 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,560 a normal, water-ejecting sprinkler. 122 00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:00,120 The research, published in Physics Review Letters, revealed that when water is sucked 123 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,000 in, the sprinkler acts like an inside-out rocket. 124 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,040 The water jets, instead of colliding head-on due to the curved arms of the sprinkler, cause 125 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,020 a slow counterclockwise rotation. 126 00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:15,840 This study is more than just solving a long-standing physics puzzle. 127 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,720 It has practical implications for understanding sustainable energy sources, such as wind, 128 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,440 ocean waves, and river currents. 129 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:32,840 And now, as promised, some movie suggestions, based on our favorites, with Jim Carrey. 130 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,760 In this exploration of Carrey's cinematic journey, we delve into five unique films, 131 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,640 starting with The Truman Show from 1998, which stands out for its insightful critique of 132 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:52,120 celebrity culture, featuring Truman Verbank, unknowingly the star of a massive TV show. 133 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:58,680 Then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from 2004 offers a poignant and imaginative 134 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:05,320 take on relationships, where Clementine erases memories of her ex-boyfriend. 135 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Liar Liar, released in 1997, showcases Carrey's physical comedy as a dishonest lawyer whose 136 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,440 life spirals out of control. 137 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,800 And The Mask, 1994, combines Carrey's dynamic performance with a fantastical story of a 138 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,800 timid bank clerk who finds a magical mask. 139 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:33,220 Lastly, you know it, Dumb and Dumber, another great movie from Carrey in 1994. 140 00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:38,600 With Harry and Lloyd, two friends lacking in wisdom, but rich in friendship, their adventure 141 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:44,920 begins in Providence, embarking on a cross-country trip to Aspen, Colorado. 142 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,000 Their mission? 143 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,300 To return a briefcase full of money to Mary Swanson, its rightful owner, who Harry and 144 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,040 Lloyd find captivating. 145 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,520 The journey is anything but smooth, filled with comical mishaps. 146 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Upon reaching Aspen, the duo discovers that the challenges involving Mary in the briefcase 147 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,220 are just the tip of the iceberg in their amusing escapade. 148 00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:11,840 Dumb and Dumber never fails to cheer me up. 149 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,840 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 150 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,840 And today our quote comes from the gang in the sandlot. 151 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,840 But it was signed by Babe Ruth! 152 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep telling me that... 153 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,840 Who is she? 154 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,840 What? 155 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,840 What? 156 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840 The Sultan of Swat! 157 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,840 The King of Crash! 158 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,840 The Colossus of Clout! 159 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,840 The Colossus of Clout! 160 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,840 Babe Ruth! 161 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:45,560 The Great Bambino! 162 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,560 And that's a wrap for this morning. 163 00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,720 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 164 00:12:50,720 --> 00:13:07,320 Have an amazing day my good friends!
