Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, November 14, 2025. Wet weather headlines our day as a major Pacific storm rolls through San Diego, already bringing passing showers, cooler temps and gray skies across the county. The forecast calls for continued rain throughout today and into the weekend, with San Diego likely seeing between two and two and a half inches of rain by late Sunday. City crews have been out clearing over forty-six thousand drains, and sandbags are available at eleven rec centers. If you spot flooding or blocked drains in your neighborhood, you can report issues with the Get It Done app. The storm means slower travel—there are already minor backups northbound on the 805 near Home Avenue and along the 94, so we’ll want to leave early and drive with care. Stronger winds could bring down tree limbs and cause scattered power outages into tomorrow. The silver lining is the soaking rain will help ease fire risks, a welcome change after our dry fall.From City Hall, the city is in full storm readiness mode and urging all of us to prepare for possible flash flooding, especially in low-lying parts of Mission Valley, Barrio Logan and areas near the San Diego River. Elsewhere in civic news, fallout from the six-week federal government shutdown is still being felt. Federal workers at Lindbergh Field and other agencies have finally started to receive back pay, but there’s still lingering uncertainty on air travel schedules and when assistance benefits like SNAP will fully resume in our city.In real estate, new numbers show the San Diego housing market staying brisk. The median sale price for homes hovers near nine hundred thousand dollars, about three percent higher than this time last year. There are signs buyers are re-entering the market after recent dips in interest rates, and local realtors report several newly listed condos in North Park, Hillcrest, and Pacific Beach this week. On the job front, San Diego’s unemployment rate holds steady at just under four percent. We’re still seeing hospitality, tech, and biotech leading job postings, with several new openings announced by companies in Sorrento Valley just yesterday.For community events, tonight marks the opening of a timely new exhibit at the Museum of Us in Balboa Park, tackling issues of power, resistance, and change. The Jacobs Music Center downtown features a performance of Sibelius’s works tonight and tomorrow, while the Digital Gym Cinema begins its run of Young Audiences, a new play reflecting on school arts and creative activism. Weather permitting, SeaWorld’s holiday celebration gets underway this evening—think Santa, festive lights, and live reindeer. Lightscape also returns to the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas, transforming trails into sparkling winter magic. And for art lovers, Art of Elan hosts a performance Sunday night at the Mingei Museum, featuring contemporary chamber music.On the public safety front, San Diego Police report a quiet but vigilant past twenty-four hours, with stepped-up patrols in storm-affected neighborhoods. One arrest overnight near the Gaslamp for suspected break-ins; no injuries were reported, and police ask anyone spotting suspicious activity during the storm to call their non-emergency number. As always, let’s check in on our neighbors who need extra help with the weather.A bit of good news: students at Hoover High clinched the city soccer title last night in a hard-fought match at Balboa Stadium, bringing the trophy home to City Heights for the first time in almost a decade.Finally, in a feel-good story, volunteers from the Logan Heights Community Center distributed over three hundred hot meals yesterday to families displaced by last week’s apartment fire on Imperial Avenue. Their support is an inspiring reminder of what makes our city special—neighbors looking out for each other, rain or shine.Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe so you never miss the latest local stories.
