Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 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 in Encinita.
This morning it's looking clean with waves around
3 plus feet. Conditions will remain clean through
the morning, but expect a slight drop to 2 to
4 feet by late morning. Winds are currently sideshore
at 0 miles per hour, shifting to onshore at 4
miles per hour by noon. Best time to ride is
at 6 a .m. with a 4 -foot outgoing high tide
when the south -southwest swell is 2 feet at
14 seconds and the sideshore wind is 0 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 Beacons reads 67 degrees for the water
temperature. Friday offers clean conditions with
waves ranging from 3 to 4 plus feet, ideal for
catching some barrels. Saturday sees a drop in
quality as choppy conditions develop with waves
around 3 plus feet, especially in the afternoon.
Sunday brings a steady increase with cleaner
faces and waves between 2 to 4 feet, making it
the most consistent day of the period. This morning
it's mostly cloudy and it feels like 66 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 a partly sunny day with a high
near 67 and a light south wind at 5 miles per
hour, but there's a chance of rain showers later
this afternoon. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy
skies with rain showers, a low around 62, and
a south wind at 10 miles per hour. Looking ahead
in the weather, Friday will be cloudy with rain
showers before 4 p .m., then showers and thunderstorms,
and a high near 64, with a south wind 5 to 15
miles per hour and heavy downpours possible through
the night as lows fall to around 61. Showers
and thunderstorms continue Saturday with highs
near 63 and occasional heavy rain. Then rain
showers remain likely Sunday with highs near
62 before a drier, cooler trend Monday with highs
near 61 and lows near 55. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

Sunny mornings send you. In local 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
at the checkout is set to get a lot more complicated.
A settlement between Visa and MasterCard, along
with U .S. merchants, could lead to tiered pricing
at the register. This agreement follows a two
-decade antitrust battle over interchange fees.
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 Bros. 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 is down 1 % to about

you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Apple has launched a digital 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 cannot be used for
international travel. To create a digital ID,
users must scan their passport and take a selfie
for verification. Apple assures that this feature
is encrypted, safeguarding user data. Entertainment

for traditional malls. Alrighty folks, it's time
