WOULD

WOULD BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE, RIGHT? ONE OF THE WORST JACKPOTS. NOW IT'S 6 700
MILLION DOLLARS. WOW. LISTEN,
IF YOU DON'T PLAY, YOU'RE
DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO WIN. SO
IF YOU WANT TO GET IN ON IT,
NOW'S THE CHANCE. WELL, WE HIT
THE JACKPOT WITH THE WEATHER
HERE BECAUSE WE'RE EXPERIENCING
JUNE AND JANUARY. GUY KNOWS A
SPRING SUMMER LIKE WHATEVER YOU
WANT TO CALL IT. IT IS WARM. I
MEAN PEOPLE WERE IN BIKINIS
YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE
BEGINNING OF JANUARY. THE HEART
OF WINTER AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT 80S GETTING CLOSE TO 90
DEGREES. LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL
THIS IS AS WE SEE THAT EARLY
MORNING GLOW. I MEAN THIS IS
JUST PRETTY GORGEOUS
CONDITIONS. BUT YES, IT WILL BE
WARM. WHAT WE ALSO ARE DEALING
WITH SANTA ANA WINDS. THEY'RE
ACTUALLY PEAKING RIGHT NOW THIS
MORNING ABOUT SUNRISE TIME
WE'LL SEE PRETTY STRONG GUSTS.
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THEM AS HIGH
AS 70 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR IN
OUR RIDGE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS
.BUT IT'S DRYING THINGS OUT,
BRINGING IN THAT WARM AIR AND
IT'S GOING TO STAY WARM THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. JENNY, I'M GOING
TO SPARE YOU WITH A LONG
TRAFFIC REPORT BECAUSE THERE'S
NOT MUCH HAPPENING. SO NUMBER
ONE, YOUR TRAVEL TIMES ARE
FINE. NUMBER TWO, NO MAJOR
CRASHES REPORTED. YEAH, WE'VE
GOT ONGOING CONSTRUCT AND YOU
CAN SEE FROM THOSE BLUE ICONS
BUT NONE OF THEM ARE CAUSING
ANY BIG ISSUES. BACK TO YOU.
OUR TOP STORY HERE THE PUSH TO
DISTRIBUTE THE CORONA VIRUS
VACCINE AROUND THE COUNTY IS
PICKING UP HERE TODAY, THIS
TIME IN THE SOUTH BAY. THIS IS
PART OF A NEW EFFORT TO FIGHT
THE PANDEMIC IN A REGION THAT'S
REALLY FEELING THE IMPACT. NEW
STATES HAVE AN RONNIE. JOINING
US LIVE FROM IMPERIAL BEACH TO
BREAK IT ALL DOWN JUST A SHORT
TIME AGO WE HEARD FROM MAYOR
SERGE EDINA VERY EMOTIONAL,
VERY CANDID. YEAH, HE SPOKE
WITH US TELLING US HOW
IMPORTANT IT WAS NOT ONLY FOR
HIS FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE
AROUND HIM BUT FOR THE SOUTH
BAY COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WHO
HAS BEEN HIT ESPECIALLY HARD BY
THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC. THIS
LATEST LOCATION AT THE IMPERIAL
BEACH CIVIC CENTER WILL SERVE
AS ONE OF THE VACCINATION SITES
AND ONE OF THE ONLY VACCINATE
SITES IN THE COUNTY. ASIDE FROM
PETCO PARK AS THAT SUPER SITE
LOCATION NOW WE ARE STILL
TRYING TO GET THOSE NUMBERS OF
EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE
ABLE TO GET VACCINATED AT THIS
LOCATION SPECIFICALLY. BUT IT
WILL BE LESS THAN THE SUPER
SITE LOCATIONS BECAUSE THESE
POD LOCATIONS THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO BE DISPERSING ACROSS
THE COUNTY ARE GOING TO SERVE
AS KIND OF THOSE LOCAL
LOCATIONS FOR ANYONE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD TO COME AND GET
THEIR VACCINE ONCE THEY'RE
ELIGIBLE RIGHT NOW STILL IN
THAT PHASE ONE A CATEGORY IF
YOU WANT TO SIGN UP ON THE WEB
SITE FOR THEIR VACCINE. BUT WE
WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME OF THAT
SOUND THAT WE HAD JUST FROM
EARLIER THIS MORNING WHICH
SERGE GIARDINA, THE MAYOR OF
IMPERIAL BEACH ON HOW IMPORTANT
AND REALLY HOW WHAT A HUGE STEP
THIS IS TO HAVE ONE OF THESE
VACCINATION SITES IN THE SOUTH
BAY. A LOT OF FOLKS WHO HAVE
BEEN JUST LIVING ON THE EDGE
AND YOU KNOW, LIVING REALLY
IT'S BEEN REALLY TOUGH. AND SO
THIS IS THAT FIRST THOUGHT OF
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. SORRY.
IT'S BEEN REALLY. LOOK, IT'S
NOT THAT HARD FOR ME BUT IT'S
BEEN HARD FOR EVERYBODY AND
WE'RE ALL TIRED OF THIS. BUT
YOU KNOW, AS A FORMER ATHLETE,
TRIATHLETE, SWIMMER, SURFER
RUNNER, I KNOW THAT WHEN YOU
GET TO THE NEAR THE END OF THE
RACE, MAN, YOU'VE GOT TO PUSH
HARD. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE WE'RE
A LITTLE BIT WE'RE NOT THERE
YET AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
GET UNCOMFORTABLE, MORE
UNCOMFORTABLE AND PUSH HARD TO
GET THERE. AND THIS PUBLICATION
OPENS TODAY AT THE IMPERIAL
BEACH CIVIC CENTER. IT WILL
OPEN AT 930 A.M. AND STAY OPEN
UNTIL THREE THIRTY P.M. YOU CAN
GO ONLINE TO VACCINATIONS SUPER
STATION SD DOT COM TO BOOK AN
APPOINTMENT AT THIS LOCATION OR
AT ANY OF THE OTHER LOCATIONS
THAT ARE OPEN IN THE COUNTY.
THEY'RE CALLING THESE
VACCINATION LOCATIONS PODS
WHICH STANDS FOR POINT OF
DISPENSING AND THEY'LL BE
DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE COUNTY.
SO THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE
UPWARDS OF 40 PODS ACROSS THE
COUNTY. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE
VERY FIRST TO LAUNCH AND THESE
PODS WON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
VACCINATE NEARLY AS MANY PEOPLE
AS THOSE SUPER SITE LOCATIONS
LIKE PETCO PARK. BUT THE GOAL
IS TO EVENTUALLY HAVE UPWARDS
OF 40 LIKE I MENTIONED ACROSS
THE AREA TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
VACCINES ARE DISTRIBUTED
EQUITABLY. NOW THE COUNTY DOES
NOT HAVE THEY DO HAVE A LIMITED
SUPPLY OF VACCINES. SO ALTHOUGH
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA LARGE
THAT PLAN TO HAVE ANYONE OVER
THE AGE OF 65 ABLE TO GET THEIR
VACCINES SOONER, THE COUNTY
DOES SAY RIGHT NOW THEY ARE
ONLY OPEN TO PHASE 1 A
PARTICIPANTS. THAT MEANS THOSE
IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY OR
THOSE WORKING IN LONG TERM
NURSING FACILITIES. THEY WILL
SOON GET ANOTHER SHIPMENT, A
LARGER SHIPMENT OF VACCINES IN
WHICH CASE MORE PEOPLE WILL BE
ABLE TO GET VACCINATED AND THEN
THEY'LL OPEN IT UP TO THOSE
OVER 65 OR WITH UNDERLYING
HEALTH CONDITIONS. BUT FOR NOW
THIS IS A BIG STEP IN GETTING
THOSE VACCINATION LOCATIONS TO
THE SOUTH BAY AGAIN OPENING AT
NINE THIRTY TODAY. YOU CAN HEAD
TO OUR WEB SITE FOR MORE
INFORMATION. YOU CAN ALSO HEAD

FIREFIGHTERS WATCHING FOR
HOTSPOTS AFTER THEY STOPPED THE
SPREAD OF A BRUSHFIRE IN SAN
MARCOS HERE. STARTED IN A FIELD
NEAR PALOMAR COLLEGE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON. AT LAST CHECK THE
COMET FIRE WAS 50 ACRES AND 90
PERCENT CONTAINED. THE CAUSE IS
STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. WE
GOT THE HOT TEMPERATURES, THE
DRY CONDITIONS OUT THERE AND
THEN WE HAVE THE WIND HERE TOO.
YEAH. AND IT'S ACTUALLY PEAKING
THIS MORNING. WE'RE SEEING OUR
STRONGEST GUSTS OF THIS LATEST
ROUND OF SANTANA'S RIGHT NOW IN
FACT ESPECIALLY IN OUR EAST
COUNTY MOUNTAINS YESTERDAY WHEN
THAT FIRE STARTED BY PALOMAR
COLLEGE. IT WASN'T AS WINDY BUT
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WAS DOWN
TO 10 12 PERCENT. IT WAS REALLY
DRY AND WARM AS WE ALL FELT IT
.NOW HERE'S A VIEW FROM SAN
MIGUEL LOOKING OUT EAST WHERE
YOU SEE THE SUN THAT GLOW FROM
THE SUN AS WE WAIT FOR THE
OFFICIAL SUNRISE. BUT RIGHT
AROUND SUNRISE WE COULD SEE OUR
TEMPERATURES ARE SEEING THEIR
WINDS GETTING STRONGER. HERE'S
A FEW OF THE RECORDS THAT WE
SAW BROKE OR TIED YESTERDAY AND
SANTEE, BY THE WAY. NINETY ONE
DEGREES THE WARMEST PLACE IN
THE COUNTRY YET AGAIN. THAT'S
TWO DAYS IN THE ROW THAT YOU
GET THAT AWARD, IF YOU WILL.
WIND ADVISORY ALSO BEEN ISSUED
EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS IS
GOING TO LAST UNTIL 2:00 P.M.
SO THE WEATHER SERVICE IS DOING
THIS RIGHT AROUND 4:00 A.M.
HOUR TIME BECAUSE OF THESE
STRONG GUSTS. FIFTY FIVE SIXTY
FIVE MILES PER HOUR RIGHT NOW
IN OUR MOUNTAINS. BUT WE'VE
SEEN GUSTS EVEN STRONGER THAN
THAT. STILL HILL 80 TO 70.
PLACES LIKE BUNKER HILL,
LAGUNA. RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT
OUR CURRENT GUST 33 IN ALPINE,
30 IN LAGUNA. BUT YOU SEE THE
SHADINGS IN THE RED. THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT STRONGER AND
THROUGHOUT THE NEXT COUPLE
HOURS WE'LL KEEP SEEING THESE
WINDS PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT.
SO ROUND 7:00, 8:00 THIS
MORNING THEY'LL GET A LITTLE
MORE STRONG ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS EXTENDING TO THE
FOOTHILLS ALL THE WAY TO OUR
COASTLINE. SO CERTAINLY CAN
INCREASE OUR FIRE
