SWEATY
SWEATY SWEAT SESSION THAT YOU CAN DO IN THE POOL MUSIC. THIS MORNING. YEAH, IT IS DEFINITELY
COULD BE SWEATY OUT THERE. I
THOUGHT IT WAS HOT. YESTERDAY
WE WERE JUST RUNNING AROUND
THE BLOCK. BOY, THINGS ARE
REALLY HEATING UP OUT THERE.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU EVERYONE ON
THIS HOT FRIDAY. I'M ERIC AND
I'M STILL ESCOVEDO YET. RIGHT
NOW IT'S PRETTY NICE BUT IT IS
GOING TO HEAT UP PRETTY
QUICKLY. SO LET'S GET RIGHT TO
NADIA RON PAUL. SHE'S LIVE IN
PACIFIC BEACH WITH EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW. WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR SEVERAL
DAYS SO HERE WE ARE. HERE WE
ARE. IF YOU THOUGHT YESTERDAY
WAS HOT, JUST GET READY TODAY
IT'S GOING EVEN HOTTER OUT
THERE. NOW THIS MORNING WE'RE
WAKING UP TO THE MID 60S SO IT
FEELS PRETTY NICE AND BACK.
THERE ARE A FEW SURFERS ALREADY
OUT IN THE WATER PADDLE
BOARDERS OUT THERE. WE HAVE
BABY WAVES GOING ON AND
THE WATER TEMPERATURES COOL. SO
THAT MAY BE A GOOD SPOT
ESPECIALLY LATER ON. LET'S GET
RIGHT TO YOUR AFTERNOON HIGHS
AND SHOW YOU JUST HOW HOT IT'S
ABOUT TO GET. LOOK AT YOU AND
RAMONA 1 0 1 FOR TODAY. ALCOHOL
IN ONE HUNDRED AND TWO DEGREES
NINETY SIX IN MIRAMAR NINETY
SEVEN EMPOWER A NINETY NINE IN
ESCONDIDO. NOW NORMALLY
TEMPERATURES FOR RAMONA WOULD
BE AROUND 90 DEGREES SO
DEFINITELY MORE THAN 10 DEGREES
ABOVE AVERAGE FOR MOST OF SAN
DIEGO INCLUDING THE BEACHES
OCEAN SIDE. YOU MAKE IT TO 86
TODAY NORMAL YOU'D BE IN
THE MID 70S. WE HAVE AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THAT
WILL BEGIN AT NOON FOR INLAND
COMMUNITIES. SO BASICALLY EAST
OF THE FIVE YOU WILL BE UNDER
THIS MORNING. INLAND AREAS
ANYWHERE FROM 95 TO 1 0 6
DESERT'S RECORD BREAKING. YOU
ALREADY BROKE A RECORD
YESTERDAY AND BORREGO. HERE'S A
LOOK AT ACROSS THE STATE IN
THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. LOOK
AT THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS
FROM THE BORDER ALL THE WAY UP
TO OREGON, NEVADA, ARIZONA,
UTAH ALSO HAVE WARNINGS AND
WATCHES IN PLACE. THIS RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO STICK
AROUND FOR A WHILE. SO LOOKING
AT OTAY MOUNTAIN OUT TOWARDS
THE EAST YOU SEE THAT EARLY
MORNING SUNRISE. THAT SUN IS
GOING TO BE THE BIG REASON OF
COURSE FOR OUR HEAT UP. WE
DON'T HAVE CLOUDS THIS MORNING.
NORMALLY WE GET THAT MARINE
LAYER. THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT
THE CASE. SO THAT'S WHY WE'LL
HEAT UP QUICKLY HERE TODAY 10
TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
TODAY. OF COURSE STAY HYDRATED.
TRY TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE, NOT
SUNSHINE. WE'RE LOOKING AT WELL
OVER EIGHT DAYS OF HEAT TO
LAST. SO IT'S CERTAINLY GOING
TO BE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THAT.
WE REALLY WANT YOU TO BE SAFE
OUT THERE AND ALSO BACK HERE
LIVE IN PACIFIC BEACH, OF
COURSE THE BEACH IS GOING TO BE
A POPULAR SPOT. IT'S GOING TO
BE ONE OF THE COOLER SPOTS
ACROSS OUR COUNTY BUT ALSO FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INLAND.
KEEP IN MIND A STATEWIDE FLEX
ALERT IS BEING ISSUED NOW. SO
YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO CONSERVE
YOUR ELECTRICITY DURING THESE
HOT DAYS BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE LIKELY GOING TO CRANK UP
THAT AC. SO THE FLEX ALERT
LASTING FROM 3:00 P.M. TO 10
P.M. TODAY WITH THESE HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE FORECAST
GOING TO LAST FOR WELL OVER A
WEEK. THE POWER GRID OPERATOR
PREDICTING THAT INCREASE IN
ELECTRICITY DEMAND ESPECIALLY
FOR RESIDENTIAL AIR
CONDITIONING USE. SO THEY'RE
ASKING YOU TO LIMIT THE USE OF
YOUR ELECTRONICS, TRY TO TURN
OFF UNNECESSARY LIGHTS, MAJOR
APPLIANCES IF YOU DO HAVE TO DO
THINGS LIKE LAUNDRY, TRY TO DO
THAT BEFORE 3:00 OR AFTER 10:00
P.M. SET YOUR AIR CONDITIONING
THERMOSTATS TO 78 DEGREES OR
HIGHER. THAT WILL HELP CONSERVE
.NOW THESE CONSERVATION
MEASURES CAN HELP THE POWER
GRID DURING A TIME OF TIGHT
DEMAND AND SUPPLY WHICH WE'RE
EXPECTING THROUGHOUT THE STATE
AND THAT WOULD AVOID THOSE
POWER INTERRUPTIONS. OF COURSE
WE DON'T WANT POWER OUTAGES
DURING THIS TIME THAT CAN GET
REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR
PEOPLE. THEN THIS COULD ALSO
PREVENT THE NEED FOR THOSE
ROLLING POWER OUTAGES. A NUMBER
OF COOL ZONES WILL ALSO BE OPEN
THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY
DESPITE COVERED 19 THEY ARE
OFFERING SOME OF THESE CHULA
VISTA HAS ONE OF THE FORMER
SERIES BUILDING ON BROADWAY AIR
CONDITIONING SHELTERS ALSO
FOUND IN VARIOUS LIBRARIES AND
COMMUNITY CENTERS. FIRST PLACES
LIKE FALLBROOK, LAKESIDE,
ALPINE, RAMONA AREAS THAT GET
REALLY HOT. TEMPERATURE CHECKS,
FACE COVERINGS, SOCIAL
DISTANCING WILL BE REQUIRED AT
THOSE COOL ZONES. WE ALSO HAD A
CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE SAN
DIEGO LIFEGUARD ABOUT THEIR
EXPECTED BIG TURNOUT. SO WE'RE
GOOD TO GO WITH OUR STAFFING
THERE. WE JUST SAID WHEN PEOPLE
COME TO THE BEACH IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS, COME ASK A
LIFEGUARD WILL POINT TO
THE BEST PLACE TO SWIM TO
BOOGIE BOARD AT THE BAY.
THE SURF DIRECTOR THE BEST
PLACE TO GO SO THE LIFEGUARDS
WILL BE FULLY STAFFED AS THEY
ARE DURING THE SUMMER MINDS.
THEY'VE SEEN A LOT OF LOCALS
AND TOURISTS HERE IN TOWN AND
THEY'RE EXPECTING A LOT OF THAT
THIS WEEKEND TOO AS PEOPLE TRY
TO ESCAPE THE HEAT SO FULLY
STAFF. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
PLACES FROM NORTH PRB WHERE WE
ARE ALL THE WAY TO MISSION
BEACH THEY'LL HAVE ABOUT 50
LIFEGUARDS WORKING AT ANY GIVEN
MOMENT. SO THAT MEANS YOU WILL
HAVE THEM AVAILABLE TO ASK
QUESTIONS WHEREAS THE BEST
PLACE TO SWIM AND SURF. BACK
HERE LIVE IF YOU CAN SEE JUST
HOW CALM THE WATER IS ON THIS
EARLY MORNING DEFINITELY IN
BEAUTIFUL CONDITIONS. OF COURSE
NOT THE BIGGEST WAVES FOR A LOT
OF THOSE DIEHARD SURFERS. FEW
HAVE COME TO CHECK IT OUT AND
THEY'VE KIND MOVED UPON. BUT
THIS WILL BE A POPULAR SPOT FOR
PEOPLE JUST TO GET A DIP AND
COOL OFF AND TRY TO GET A
LITTLE BIT REFRESHING. YOU
KNOW, A GOOD REFRESHER. THEY'RE
OUT HERE. OF COURSE IT'S GOING
TO BE BUSY AND WE ARE IN A
PANDEMIC STILL. SO REALLY
EVERYONE'S ENCOURAGED TO STAY
SOCIALLY DISTANCE. AND THAT'S
THE LATEST LIVE HERE IN PACIFIC
BEACH. WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO
YOU. AND WE JUST GOT A LOOK A
LOT DIFFERENT THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS. THAT'S FOR SURE.
THANKS. GOOD WITH THAT HEAT
WARNING THAT I WAS JUST TALKING
ABOUT COMES A WILDFIRE CONCERNS
HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
WE'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS HOW QUICKLY THESE FIRES
CAN JUST TAKE OFF AS A WILDFIRE
NEAR LAKE HUGHES IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY JUST EXPLODED. WE'VE HAD
TWO SCARES HERE A SERIES OF
SPOT FIRES SHUT DOWN PARTS OF
MY AGE IN ALPINE LAST NIGHT AND
A FIRE BROKE OUT NEAR THE OTAY
RIVER IN CHULA VISTA AS WELL.
THANKFULLY THOSE FIRES WERE
KNOCKED DOWN QUICKLY. AS FOR
THE LAKE FIRE IN THE ANGELES
FOREST, IT IS STILL A NONSTOP
BATTLE THERE. LOCAL CREWS ARE
ACTUALLY HELPING IN THIS
FIREFIGHT RIGHT NOW. THAT FIRE
HAS DESTROYED AT LEAST THREE
BUILDINGS. MORE THAN FIFTY FOUR
HUNDRED OTHERS REMAIN
THREATENED RIGHT NOW. IT
SPAWNED A FIRE TORNADO AND IT
HAS SCORCHED 11000 ACRES SO FAR
AND IT IS ONLY FIVE PERCENT
CONTAINED. AND A NEW FIRE IS
BURNING IN THE ANGELES NATIONAL
FOREST. THE SO-CALLED RANCH
FIRE BROKE OUT AROUND 330
YESTERDAY NORTH SOUSA AND
QUICKLY GREW TO 3000 ACRES
RIGHT NOW NO CONTAINMENT ON
THIS ONE. AND HOMES ARE
THREATENED BUT FIREFIGHTERS SAY
THE FLAMES APPEAR TO BE BURNING
AWAY FROM THE CITY INTO
THE FORCE. AS YOU SAID, POLICE
SAY THE CAUSE OF THIS FIRE IS
ALSO STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
AND THE COUNTY IS ONE STEP
CLOSER TO BEING OFF THE STATE'S
MONITORING LIST. KOBE 19. SO
FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW
THAT COUNTY SAW A CASE RATE OF
FEWER THAN 100 POSITIVE KOBE
TESTS PER 100000 PEOPLE. IF IT
STAYS BELOW 100 THROUGH TODAY,
WHICH IS THE THIRD DAY
THE COUNTY WILL BE OFF
THE STATE'S MONITORING LIST.
STILL COUNTY LEADERS WARN THAT
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STILL BE
CAUTIOUS. DON'T GET COMPLACENT
.TWO HUNDRED SIXTY SIX NEW
CASES WERE REPORTED BRINGING
THE TOTAL TO 33 THOUSAND SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY NINE. SEVEN MORE
DEATHS AS YOU SEE THERE. SIX
HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN PEOPLE
TOTAL. CHRIS CROWE IS LIVE
OUTSIDE THE COUNTY
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING THIS
MORNING WITH A LOOK AT WHAT
WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE.
THIS IS A LONG TERM PROGRESS.
WE CANNOT LET OUR GUARD DOWN
EXACTLY STELLAR BECAUSE AT
THE END OF THE DAY THIS IS A
MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT.
SOMETHING COUNTY SUPERVISOR
NATHAN FLETCHER SAID. AND EVEN
WHEN WE ARE REMOVED FROM
THE STATE'S MONITORING LIST,
THERE REALLY ISN'T A WHOLE LOT
THAT CAN CHANGE. AND PLUS
THE STATE HAS STILL SAID THAT
RIGHT NOW NO COUNTIES CAN BE
REMOVED FROM THE STATE'S
MONITORING LIST BECAUSE OF THIS
REASON. IN FACT, TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS WHAT THE STATE PUT OUT
WHEN IT IDENTIFIED A BACKLOG OF
CASES. NOW THAT'S AN ISSUE
THAT'S THAT THEY HAVE NOW
IDENTIFIED. IT SAYS GOES BACK
WEEKS INVOLVES A BACKLOG OF
ABOUT A QUARTER MILLION TESTS.
AND ESSENTIALLY THAT COULD BE
THE REASON WHY CASE RATES ARE
LOWER IN SOME COUNTIES
INCLUDING. SO BECAUSE OF THAT
THE STATE HAS PUT OFF REMOVING
COUNTIES FROM BEING MONITORED
EVEN THOUGH IF WE HAVE A CASE
RATE UNDER 100 TODAY WE WOULD
BE ELIGIBLE TO COME OFF ON
SATURDAY. HOWEVER, YESTERDAY
COUNTY LEADERS STRESSED THEY
BELIEVE THAT WILL CHANGE FOR US
THAT WE WILL INDEED COME
SATURDAY IF THIS ALL WORKS OUT
BECOME THE FIRST COUNTY TO BE
REMOVED FROM THE LIST. BUT HERE
COMES A TEMPERING OF EXCITEMENT
EVEN IF WE'RE REMOVED FROM
THE LIST. IT WON'T CHANGE
THE CURRENT STATUS OF
RE-OPENING OR CLOSURES. IN FACT
EARLIER IN THE WEEK. DR. WILMA
WOOTEN SAYS THAT THE STATE
HASN'T GIVEN COUNTIES ANY
DIRECTION ABOUT WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IF THEY ARE OFF
THE MONITORING LIST IN TERMS OF
REOPENING SOME OF THOSE INDOOR
BUSINESSES AND THE INDUSTRIES
WERE CLOSED LIKE JAMES
OPERATING INDOORS OR AT
RESTAURANTS OPERATING INDOORS.
AND MANY OF THOSE MITIGATION
EFFORTS AND MANDATES ARE MORE
THAN LIKELY GOING TO REMAIN IN
PLACE. WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS AS
A REGION AND WE'RE DOING GOOD.
BUT WE REALLY DO HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THIS IS A MARATHON.
IT IS NOT A SPRINT AND
SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN
BASICALLY PUT FORTH WITH
THE STATE'S MONITORING LIST AND
SOME REOPENING IS THAT AFTER
THESE THREE DAYS OF A CASE RATE
LESS THAN 100 SCHOOLS COULD
RESUME IN CLASS LEARNING. IF WE
GO ANOTHER 14 ADDITIONAL DAYS
SO ESSENTIALLY YOU RESTART
THE CLOCK AFTER THREE DAYS
STARTED BACK UP AND IF WE GO
TWO WEEKS WITH A CASE RATE OF
UNDER ONE HUNDRED ALL 14 DAYS
THEN SCHOOLS COULD POTENTIALLY
RESUME IN CLASS LEARNING. ERIC
STELLA, CHRIS, THANK YOU FOR
THAT. AND LOCAL SCHOOLS THAT
WANT TO REOPEN MAY HAVE TO
APPLY FOR A WAIVER FROM
THE STATE. SO THE COUNTY SAYS
AS OF RIGHT NOW 48 ARE UNDER
REVIEW. AMONG THOSE ALL BUT
FOUR ARE PRIVATE OR RELIGIOUS
AFFILIATED SCHOOLS. NOW ONLY
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
THROUGH SIXTH GRADE SCHOOLS CAN
APPLY. MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH
SCHOOLS DON'T QUALIFY. IT IS
611 TIME NOW FOR YOUR MORNING
RUSH. TODAY IS THE LAST CHANCE
FOR BUSINESS OWNERS IN
THE SOUTH BAY TO APPLY FOR
FINANCIAL AID AMID THE CORONA
VIRUS PANDEMIC. THE DEADLINE IS
FOR RESIDENTS IN DISTRICT 1 TO
APPLY FOR THE COUNTY'S SMALL
BUSINESS STIMULUS GRANT. NOW

BEACH, CHULA VISTA AND NATIONAL
CITY. TOMORROW IS ALSO THE LAST

PANDEMIC. TAN DAG MAY
RECONSIDER THE PRICE TAG FOR
ITS LARGE SCALE TRANSPORTATION
PLAN. REGIONAL PLANNERS
ESTIMATED THE HIGH TECH TRANSIT
NETWORK COULD COST ONE HUNDRED
SEVENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS AND
THAT'S BEFORE POTENTIAL
INFLATION IS FACTORED IN.

STREET BIKE WAYS. NUMEROUS
MOBILITY HUBS AND URBAN
