Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Sunday, August thirty-first, twenty twenty-five. We’re waking up to a warm and sunny start to the last official weekend of summer, with beaches and parks already buzzing with early risers. Expect highs today ranging from the mid seventies to low nineties along the coast, with hotter inland neighborhoods like Ramona peaking near one hundred. There’s a Beach Hazards statement in effect through Monday, so if you’re heading to La Jolla Shores or Pacific Beach, keep watch for elevated surf and dangerous rip currents. After this stretch of dry heat, humidity is set to make a comeback by Tuesday, bringing a chance of showers and storms to our mountains and deserts.Turning now to breaking news overnight. San Diego Police are investigating a double homicide that took place early this morning near the border in the Nestor neighborhood. Officers responded to reports of gunfire on Sunset Avenue just after three-thirty a.m., finding two men with fatal gunshot wounds inside separate camper trailers at a fenced storage lot. Detectives are still gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. Anyone with tips is encouraged to contact the department, and our thoughts are with the families affected.Yesterday evening, a tragic crash along the southbound five at the Tocayo off-ramp left one person dead. Authorities say a white sedan veered off the highway, hit a tree, and burst into flames that spread to nearby brush. This incident led to significant delays and a SigAlert for drivers in the area, and fire crews worked quickly to contain the blaze.In other updates from City Hall, city attorneys are still facing lawsuits and countersuits tied to last January’s severe flooding, as residents continue to seek answers and assistance for long-term repairs. Meanwhile, attention across California is heating up as campaign season kicks into gear with millions pouring into both sides of the debate over Proposition 50, the statewide measure tied to congressional redistricting—a reminder to keep an eye on our ballots as November approaches.On the business front, at Liberty Station, a new artisan bakery opened doors Friday, offering job opportunities to locals and adding a new spot for fresh pastries. Over in Ocean Beach, a family-run surf shop has announced its closure after thirty-five years, citing rising rents. The job market stays steady, but competition remains tough, with around eight hundred open tech jobs currently listed on major boards in San Diego County.Looking ahead, the San Diego Festival of the Arts wraps up today at Waterfront Park, and music lovers can catch live sets at the new outdoor amphitheater in Chula Vista. Padres fans, we saw a tough loss last night against the Twins, with the final score at seven to four in Minnesota. In college volleyball, the University of San Diego women’s team edged out Marquette in a close five-set battle at the Rainbow Wahine Classic—a strong start to their season.As for schools, congratulations go out to the Mira Mesa High robotics team for winning a regional innovation award this weekend. It’s inspiring to see local students making waves in STEM.And to wrap up, our feel-good story takes us to Balboa Park, where volunteers have finished a mural in honor of local healthcare heroes, bringing together artists and families in a celebration of community spirit.Thanks for joining us and making us part of your morning.
