Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, August 22. We are starting our day in the thick of a heat wave, as forecasters predict highs near 83 downtown today, with even hotter temperatures inland and throughout the mountains. The National Weather Service is keeping a heat advisory in place for our mountain communities until eight tonight, urging everyone to stay cool, stay hydrated, and look out for one another. The coastal breeze means our beaches will be busy, but the advice holds — sunscreen, water, and shade will be your best friends if you are heading out to Mission Beach or Ocean Beach. Looking ahead, the weekend remains sunny, with a touch of patchy fog rolling in Sunday and Monday morning, so it is ideal festival and outdoor market weather.Breaking overnight, police in National City have arrested Noel Trevino on murder charges after a woman was found stabbed to death on Division Street. Officers chased and caught Trevino near First Street. Investigators have not released the victim’s name at this time. In North County, a wave of concern follows an immigration enforcement operation near Parkdale Elementary. Residents gathered at the Encinitas City Council meeting last night, voicing fears about how ICE operations near schools are affecting families and children.Turning to major headlines from city hall, new warning signs are being installed along the Tijuana River to alert residents about recurring toxic pollution. Dangerous levels of hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants have been detected, prompting local officials to double down on both public warning and long-term solutions. County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre stressed that while the new signs are important, the goal is to finally put an end to San Diego’s decades-old sewage crisis.In our courts, San Diego made national news as Erik Menendez was denied parole during a highly-watched hearing, closing a dramatic chapter but also stirring conversations about parole reform statewide.On a positive note for our jobseekers, the local hiring market shows continued strength with hospitality, biotech, and clean tech sectors all posting new openings this week. Real estate news is mixed: the median home price around San Diego remains just below one million dollars, but buyers are finding a few more listings popping up in Clairemont and Chula Vista.Let us look at the weekend. San Diego is welcoming the Philippine Cultural Arts Festival at Balboa Park on President’s Way all weekend with live performances and traditional food. The Ramona Rodeo brings the energy to the East County, and food lovers can enjoy a Cajun celebration at the Taste of New Orleans at the Del Mar Racetrack on Saturday.
