You're watching CBS 8 mornings at 6.
We did get some showers overnight
video taken before 2:30 this
morning in the Mira Mesa area
and you can see it's coming down
at a pretty good clip here.
And the snow.
Take a look at Live Mountain
Laguna camera and this morning.
Sorry, I apologize.
Yesterday we saw many people had
to higher elevations to see that snow.
There's that video. Isn't
it beautiful? Ohh. Such a
winter Wonderland.
Yeah, a lot of snow piling up enough
to make these snowball fights,
but in shorts as it does so.
Sandy again, right?
To go sledding.
Thank you for joining us here.
Time now is 601.
I'm not Iran
Port, I'm Eric Connor.
Let's check in with Evan Ronnie
for a look at our forecast.
So yeah, I noticed it was shorts,
but with a hoodie. Yeah, yeah.
We're gonna stay a little
warm up top. That's the kind of
video I always wanna show people
who are like who's in San Diego
70 and Sunny. Because of course
that's not San Diego itself,
but San Diego County.
Yes, we get some snow out
there above 3000 feet.
Was that cut off for snow?
Still encountering a few
flurries this morning.
We even have a winter storm warning that.
Remains through 10:00 AM for another 4 hours.
Sunrise is in 45 minutes.
And take a look almost all of the showers
that we woke up to about a couple hours ago,
well, they have cleared out and
we are moving towards sunshine,
so coming up we'll be talking about how
long this stretch of dry weather could be.
On the way we'll talk about
the winds that are dying down,
the warming temperatures,
all in just a few minutes.
Think you haven't?
And yes, because of that snow,
the icy roads, it's cold up there.
E County schools,
some of them in the mountains,
have a late start date today,
so that includes these right here.
You see the schools in Julian,
the mountain Empire Unified School District,
Spencer Valley and Warner unified.
And this morning nearly 1000 flights
across the country are cancelled.
All this because of bad weather,
a snow ice storm expected
through Texas and Oklahoma.
A lot of flights affected are
in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
Southwest has the most cancellations.
They have a hub there at DFW.
We just checked.
There are a handful of delays and
cancellations for departures leaving here.
Out of San Diego International
new this morning an 18 year old
is under arrest in connection
to a homicide in Chula Vista.
The victim was stabbed to death at
Otay Valley Regional Park on Sunday.
He's been identified as
49 year old José González.
The suspect, Milton tax Suzune,
was already in jail on unrelated
vandalism charges when police
connected him to the murder.
He is scheduled to appear.
In court tomorrow new
developments here this morning,
more charges could be announced in
connection to the police beating and
eventual death of Tyree Nichols in Memphis.
Yesterday the Police Department announced
2 more officers were relieved of duty.
One of them was Preston Hemphill.
His body Cam footage shows
him tasing Nichols.
The Memphis Fire Department also says
three of its employees have been fired.
Today.
The Chula Vista City Council will
be meeting in a special session.
Deliberation will continue on 10 candidates,
all hoping to fill the vacant.
District 3 seat CBS 8 Dana Reed
Mcnicoll live outside Chula
Vista City Hall here with what
could happen if a decision is not
reached here today Henry.
Good morning, Eric.
We know that after hours of
double deliberation, excuse me,
last week they weren't able to come
to a decision for the appointment.
So if they can't, a special election
will be held on February 3rd.
Now we spoke to those public
members attending this discussion.
They say they're actually pushing
for that special election
rather than an appointment.
You've decided that you're just gonna
pick who you think is the right person
in a district you don't even live in. How
could you possibly know the candidates?
The community has not had the opportunity
to vet the applicants.
Now District 3 is the largest district
that covers the city Southeast region
like Paseo Ranchero and Otai Ranch.
Locals say the district is in need of
better infrastructure and public safety,
but worry their concerns
won't be prioritized.
They also fear the person who could be
appointed won't represent the districts
community who is mainly Filipino and Latino.
Now the vacancy is a result of November 8th,
2022 election when District 3
Council member Stephen Padilla
was elected to the state Senate.
Now among the ten candidates
is devanna amargo.
The director of Communications
for County Supervisor Nora Vargas.
There's also Griselda Delgado,
the director of state and federal
programs for the Sweetwater
Union High School District.
She wants to work with the city
to offer more affordable housing
and address landfill issues.
We also have nimcha Akana,
Filipino American who is a real
estate agent and a board member
for the Cultural Center.
She's hoping to bring more representation
to the region and include the Filipino
community and more city programs.
Other candidates include David Diaz Guangyao,
Alonzo Gonzalez, Victor.
Lopez, Daniel Rice Vasquez,
Sophia Rodriguez, and Tanya Williams again.
If the City Council is unable to
make an appointment by February 3rd,
a special election will be held
to fill the seat.
Of course,
we've been following this from the very
beginning, bringing you the latest.
If you'd like to read more on this,
head to cbs8.com,
but right now I'm Dana Marie McDougal
live in Chula Vista, Erica Netta.
Henry, thank you. This morning,
people living in a condo complex in
Tierra Santa are scrambling to find it.
Insurance. Wildfire insurance after farmers
insurance just cancelled their policy.
A town hall meeting on this being held today.
CBS 8 Chris Growe working
for you now to get answers.
Joining us live outside the
Villa Monterey clubhouse where
this meeting will be held.
Quite a shock for a lot
of these people, right?
Yeah, I gotta imagine because this all
could end up costing these condo owners a
lot more per month after this insurance
policy does indeed finalized and get
dropped now in less than 12 hours time.
We're actually going to be seeing a lot
of the residents here within via Monterey
meeting potentially again with the board
members and the property management
group to talk about exactly what is next.
So a lot of them want to know
where do we go from here.
So let's back up and kind
of explain the process.
Everyone here is on the same insurance.
Policy with farmers as more than
300 units because the condos in the
neighborhood are connected or share walls,
the owners pay a condominium owners
insurance fee or similar to an HOA fee.
It's called a COA fee.
It's about $380 a month and it includes
property insurance for the entire complex.
But according to COA records,
the concern by farmers seems to
be the future,
or to be the ever present
possibility of future wildfires.
Now a replacement policy could
cost an additional $7000.
Per year for each condo owner,
the Farmers insurance policy
they got cancelled.
Covered up to $127 million in damages.
It cost about 130,000 per year,
but the replacement policy
that's being considered only
covers $47 million in damages,
and it costs more than $2.2 million per year,
so it's more money for less coverage.
Farmers insurance,
the COA board members and the VA Monterey
Property Management Company did not
respond to CBS 8's request for comment,
but we did speak with some of those
that live in the neighborhood.
They're fearful that if there is
another event like what happened in
Scripps Ranch in 03 and 07 where
entire neighborhoods are lost,
that that it would be a financial
hardship on the insurance company.
And we also reached out to the
California Department of Insurance,
but we did not hear back.
We did not get a comment
from them as well too.

Alright, 608 here. Evan. Ooh,
look at that snow. Fresh snow
there, right out of Mount Laguna.
Things stayed pretty light.
They only got a couple inches.
We're still waiting to see if they can
let us know how much they got in total,
but Palomar reported 6 inches
of snow that came down,
so this fell within what we expected.
Some models pushed Mount
Laguna to higher accumulation,
so we're going to just kind of wait and see,
especially around sunrise,
which is in about 35 minutes or so,
what those totals look like
over the mountain tops.
But they all got snow.
Uh, pretty much above 3500 feet
or so looked pretty impressive.
Next 12 hours shows that
the sunshine is prevailing.
I mean, wow,
what a quick turn around.
We've seen where those offshore
winds have now pushed those
clouds away from the coastline.
We've seen those showers sink
down to the South and to the West.
And now we are dealing with a lot of
sunshine expected in the forecast
once the sun does come up again,
that is going to be in the next half hour,
45 minutes or so.
Temperatures are still in the 40s right now,
warming their way to the 50s by 10:00 AM,
upper 50s and even low.
60s between about noon and 2:00
PM and then we'll start to see
those temperatures sink again.
We have now entered a dry stretch
of weather that will last all
the way through your weekend.
It looks like we will have
clouds building at times,
so a couple of the days
ahead for about Thursday,
Friday we could have partial cloud cover,
but we're still expecting drier
conditions coming on the heels
of these pretty decent totals.
Now in total,
we saw between half an inch and 3/4 of
an inch from many of our inland valleys.
Closer to the coastline.
We saw lighter accumulations
for areas like Miramar.
And San Diego about 1/3 of an inch,
but for Valley Center, nearly 6/10.
Escondido more than 3/4.
Ramona more than half an inch.
And then from Mount Laguna we've gotten,
we know, an inch at least.
And then Palomar Mountain 5.5 inches.
Pretty impressive numbers.
Forecast for the day again
takes us to the 60s.
Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer
than yesterday with more sunshine on hand.
Of course,
we don't have nearly as much cloud cover
or the shower activity that we saw yesterday,
and it looks like walking
out the door right now.
We are still cold.
Because those clouds have left
us so in turn Escondido sinking
down to the 30s to walk out the
door right now 3938 in Ramona,
30 degrees in Julian and then along
the greater coastline were mostly
in the 40s on the five day forecast.
We are building from here.
So each day moving forward we've
got more sunshine on hand and
warmer temperatures eventually
getting back to average by the
time we get to the weekend.
Let's talk take a look at a traffic and how
we're starting off our morning.
Want to give a mention to a couple of
things going on out there are on the roads.
First thing that we will take
you to is the five and the 8:05
where you can see we're already.
Wondering just a bit of a volume on
the roads, so both of those have some
yellow and orange scattered on there,
meaning we're slowing down just a bit.
Also wanna take you to query Rd.
that's farther off to the east.
We've got what is reported as some
flooding in Paradise Valley Rd.
to Hamshaw Rd.
We right now don't have reports
as to whether or not this area
is still slightly flooded.
This could be kind of carrying
on over from yesterday's report.
So I just want to let you know to
take some caution out there in areas
where there is some ponding in the.
Roadways and beyond that looks like volume
is still pretty light this morning.
So we will keep you up to date as
that starts to pick up back to you.
Yeah, something to watch
out for. Thank you, Eva.
