You're watching CBS8 mornings at six,
and thanks for joining us, ever.
Here at 6:00 AM on this
Memorial Day. I'm Chris Grow.
And I'm Evan. Ronnie, let's take a look at
the forecast as we start off the morning.
We know a lot of people have
outdoor plans for the daytoday.
And that means you might need to grab a
jacket, at least to start off the morning,
as we remain in the 50s right n,
but by the afternoon temperaturs
are pretty mild. Overall,
we're looking at a high of abou4
degrees closer to your coastlin.
Inland will be climbing to the upper 60s.
So again, those temperatures are mild.
But keep in mind we're going toe
seeing a tough time to have those clouds
break apart much along the coas.
So we do expect clouds to remain
for quite a while inland.
They'll get a bit more sunshine
by the afternoon at least,
and then across the mountains,
plenty of that sun.
Beaming on down temperatures in
the 60s across the mountains,
90s for the deserts coming up,
we will talk about a warming tr.
It's not going to be much,
but it's something to run with.
It is a small warming trend that
we'll see by the end of this we.
So we'll have details on what to expect
through the rest of the day tody
and the rest of the week as wel.
It's all about them.
It's not about the veterans.
It's not about guys like
me who did come home.
It's about those that didn't.
Today is Memorial Day,
a time to honor service members
who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
And over the weekend, as you see here,
thousands gathered on the USS
Midway to remember the fallen.
A ceremony was also held at
Miramar National Cemetery and at
Fort Rosecrans National Cemeter.
Volunteers placed American flags
next to every gravesite, and to,
the Midway Museum will be hostiA
wreath laying ceremony at 9:00 .
Mount Soledad National Veterans
Memorial will also honor a serve
member from World War Two that
was finally brought home in 201.
We'll share that special story
coming up at 6:30,
but you can also find a full
list of Memorial Day events like
this one at cbs8.com.
And we're going to take a live
look right now at the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier at the
Arlington National Cemetery.
President Biden and the First Ly
will participate in a wreath lag
ceremony there in about two hou.
So that'll be at 8:00 AM our ti.
And today we'll be busy on the
roadways with many people headed
home from the holiday weekend.
AAA recommends heading out
before 10 this morning.
For tomorrow, AAA recommends eir
leaving before 2:00 PM or after 6:00 PM.
The window between 4:00 and 6:00
PM is expected to be the busies.
Tomorrow is considered to be
the best day to travel home.
As for flights,
booking for tomorrow and Wednesday are
up by double digits as travelers extend
the holiday weekend if you're fg
out of the San Diego International Airport.
For construction at Terminal
one could cause issues.
A few tips to avoid the chaos.
Leave early and give yourself py
of time to catch your flight.
Mornings and evenings will be te
busiest time there at the airpo.
And for those of you who are driving,
here's a look at today's average gas prices.
In San Diego,
it's a 489 a gallon for a
regular gallon of gas.
We were paying 607 at this time last year.
And this morning, veterans,
active duty military members,
and Honda drivers can fill
up their gas tanks for free.
Honda is hosting the giveaway ae
Circle K on Pomerado Road in Po.
It's happening from 10:00 AM to noon today,
but do you remember that that gs
is going to be first come for s?
Right now,
law enforcement agencies acrosse
state are cracking down on drunk driving.
The CHP has reported a total of4
arrests for driving under the influence
across the state of California.
That is at more than 70% from
this time last year.
In total last year,
there were nearly 900 arrests or
the holiday weekend and 45 peope
were killed in car accidents.
Chp's maximum enforcement period
ends tonight at midnight.
Now let's talk
about the beach. Many of you wie
heading to the coast today and s
is a live look right now at Misn
Beach just right by the boardwa.
Lifeguards and police do want to
remind everyone that alcohol,
glass and smoking not allowed on the beach.
Bonfires are also banned in the
city of San Diego, but that's us
they are in a designated pit.
So make sure that you find those pits.
And as always it is best to
check in with lifeguards.
Evans been talking about this.
Those water conditions could
have those rip currents.
Make sure that you meet up with
lifeguard before you jump into the water.
And before you do jump into the water,
we do want to warn you about
some beach closures.
This map from the county shows
that beaches have either have hd
water advisories or closures due
to a sewage contaminated leak.
We're seeing closures along
the shorelines there.
See those red dots in Imperial Beach,
the Tijuana Slough and Silver Strand,
as well as Coronado?
And over the weekend dozens of
people got together calling for
an end to the sewage from Mexic.
What
do we want? What do we want?
I'm wearing this to alert every visitor,
every community member
that this is not a joke.
This is a crisis in our communi.
This is a call to action for everyone.
Now the pollution stems in part
from a broken wastewater faciliy
along the coast of Mexico.
The good news is, though,
that a fix may be coming.
The US and Mexico have already
agreed to invest $474,000,000 to
address Tijuana's sewage proble.
Turning to some other headlines this morning,
Chula Vista police are investigg
a crash that killed a three-year old.
It happened Saturday night in front of
several businesses off showroom place.
Police say a 36 year old drivert
a child who was walking outside.
Right now they don't believe tht
the driver was under the influe.
They also say that that driver s
now cooperating with investigat.
Also the suspect in the.
A deadly shooting outside of the Central
Library downtown will be in court tomorrow.
Police say 21 year old Kenneth Cheney,
who shot two men on Tuesday,
will be in court after an argum.
One of the men died there.
CBS8 has learned that Cheney's
grandmother had a restraining or
against him since May of last y.
In court documents,
the grandmother says Cheney pusd
her broke windows on her truck
and threatened her granddaughte.
He was ordered not to possess
any guns or ammunition.
Still, he was able to work as a
security guard under a state lie
issued back in January of 2021.
Meantime,
a memorial is growing outside of the library
for the man killed in that shoo.
The victim has been
identified as Trey Walker.
His sister, Jasmine,
tells CBS8 that he didn't know the suspect.
She describes her brother as fu,
outgoing and the life of the pa,
adding that he absolutely
loved being a father.
Like it's not real to me.
I keep thinking that he's going
to walk up right now and just
hug us and be like this.
Like
these should not have died.
Walker's family has set up a god
me to cover his funeral expense.
You can find out more on
our website, cbs8.com.
And this morning President Biden
is preparing to sell sell a
debt ceiling deal to Congress.
After striking A bipartisan agreement
over the weekend to prevent a default,
the US Treasury now says it may
run out of money by June 5th.
That is one week. From today,
the deadline was previously on June 1st.
Now a tentative deal was
struck late Saturday night.
The agreement would raise the dt
limit for the next couple of ye.
It would keep nondefense spendig
roughly the same through 2024 we
protecting social programs like Medicaid,
Social Security,
and new programs for veterans healthcare.
But it places new work requirements on
some who get government assista,
including food stamps.
That agreement now goes in the United States.
House and to the Senate.
I strongly urge both both
chambers to pass that agreement.
We did a conference
call with our conference and over 95% were
overwhelmingly excited about what they see
now. The House will vote on Wednesday.
Congress has to pass it and get it to the
President's desk desk before next Monday.
And switching gears here.
Evan, I know that people have bn
complaining a little bit about
how the skies are looking, but.
Any chance it's going to clear up? If
you're farther away from the co,
there's a better opportunity for it for sure.
I mean, it looks like if you trl
toward the mountains and desert,
you've got a lot of sunshine in the mix.
The big question mark on hand is
going to be associated with your
inland valleys and your coastli.
Now coastline, not much of A hoe
that we're holding out for for
sun across your inland valleys.
It does seem like we'll have the
am clouds as we do right now,
pretty dense layer of those clo.
And then those clouds are goingo
break apart closer to that afternoon,
maybe even late morning stretch
temperatures will be slightly wr
inland than they are along the coastline.
But still across the county
this afternoon we're looking at
cooler than average temperature.
Here's that marine layer still in full force,
an issue affecting the greater
California region.
I mean you had all the way up tn
Francisco and you've still got a decent
amount of that marine layer pre.
So it really.
Is an issue that no coastal
community seems to be evading.
However,
San Diego has been notorious for
holding on to those clouds for a
bit longer than many have liked.
Looking at your afternoon highs,
still going to be pretty comfore
toward areas like Santee El
Cajon 68 degrees this afternoon,
66 for La Mesa, 62 for PB, and La Jolla.
You look up toward North County6
for Carlsbad, 64 for Encinitas.
And 68 in Ramona and then over
the mountains and deserts pretty
similar seen out there,
still cooler than normal.
Ohio 64 in Julian, 66 in Alpine,
Borrego Springs, Oxyo Wells,
congratulations,
you will make it to 92 and 95.
But hey, they are still saying that's
cooler than average for them as well.
So regardless of where you
are in the county today,
we will be cooler than what we
would normally expect for this
unofficial start of the summer season.
So maybe a jacket can come
in handy for the morning,
especially if you're going
to be spending time.
Closer to the coast now for tra.
We do want to get you a look ate
border wait times from the CDP website.
Right now the wait for the genel
line at the San Ysidro Port of entry,
15 minutes.
Oh time, a supportive entry,
also 15 minutes.
For more you can head to our wee
and for the latest on what those
conditions look like across our
roadways here in San Diego on te
major highwayscbs8.com/traffic
can get you a good look at what
those conditions are like Chris.
