Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November 13th, 2025.We wake up today with big changes on the horizon. Forecasters warn us to expect scattered showers as early as this evening in North County, rolling into widespread rain by Friday morning. This is no ordinary drizzle. We're looking at a powerful atmospheric river arriving from the Pacific, bringing a real punch of wet weather to our usually sunny city. City Hall reminds us to make those storm preparations now—clear your gutters and check those flash flood apps. Rain is projected to linger through the weekend and possibly well into early next week. Flooding is a concern, especially in areas near burn scars and low-lying neighborhoods like Mission Valley and Otay Mesa. Temperatures will drop sharply, landing in the low 60s by tonight and barely breaking 70 degrees inland tomorrow. So, let’s bundle up and plan around the puddles.There’s more from City Hall, too. The Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to allow San Diego police to keep using automated license plate readers for another year, despite strong privacy concerns. These high-tech readers, deployed since 2023, have helped lower auto theft across the city by over 40 percent, leading to several hundred arrests and helping solve violent crimes. The full council will revisit the issue in December, so expect debates to continue.On the jobs and business front, Encinitas is watching closely as Just Peachy Market faces closure amid an immigration hearing for its longtime owner later this month. Meanwhile, we say goodbye to a true institution: Barrio Logan’s beloved Las Quatro Milpas will close its doors at year’s end after 92 years. The building was just sold, bringing a bittersweet end to one of our oldest family-run eateries. At the same time, there's some brighter news—new affordable homes for seniors opened in Southeast San Diego yesterday, welcoming dozens on fixed incomes to their first safe and stable apartments.On the real estate beat, the rush to rent and buy remains strong, with median home prices holding steady near $860,000. That’s keeping realtors busy but also pushing some families to look for more affordable spots in Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, and National City.Turning to community and culture, this rainy spell may dampen outdoor plans, but there’s plenty happening indoors. We’ve got live jazz at Balboa Park tomorrow night, the San Diego Film Festival rolling out red carpets downtown, and high school playoff football heating up all across the county—big wins last night for Cathedral Catholic and Madison High.For sports fans, the Padres have started off-season training at Petco Park, with rumors swirling about a major trade deal for a new pitcher. San Diego State’s basketball team chalked up a close win against Long Beach, boosting hopes for a strong season.Crime reports show a quieter night, although police are investigating a break-in near El Cajon Boulevard. No injuries, and officers made an arrest swiftly thanks to tip-offs from neighbors. We always appreciate when the community steps up to keep our streets safe.If you need a feel-good story, look no further than Marine veteran Raul Espinoza, who was surprised with a free car yesterday on Pacific Highway. Local businesses and volunteers pooled together for the gift, thanking him for years of service and brightening his week.That’s our San Diego story today, rain and all.
