THANK YOU.

>>> WE ARE LEARNING MORE TODAY ABOUT THE INDICTMENT RELATING TO THE DEADLY MAY SHOOTING AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF SAN DIEGO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

I AM JOHN CARROLL IN FOR MAYA TRABULSI.

WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE ON WHY AND HOW TEENS ARE BECOMING RADICALIZED AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

FIRST, AUTHORITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA NOW SAY THE GUNMAN ALSO HAD INTENDED TO ATTACK TWO OTHER LOCATIONS IN SAN DIEGO.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN HAS THAT PART OF THE STORY.

>> THE MEETING SHOOTING CLAIMED THE LIVES OF AMIN ABDULLAH, AND NADIRA WAD.

IT SHOCKED THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY.

BUT DISTRICT ATTORNEY JIM O'NEIL SAYS THAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

>> THEIR PLAN TODAY WAS TO COMMIT MASS MURDERS.

NOT ONLY AT THE MOSQUE, BUT TO FOLLOW UP AT A LOCAL JEWISH TEMPLE.

>> Reporter: THE SYNAGOGUE.

IN A STATEMENT TO KPBS, RABBI SAYS HE WAS DEEPLY GRIEVED BY THE ATTACK.

WE ARE ALSO SADDENED TO NOW LEARN THAT OUR CYNICAL IS MENTIONED IN THE ATTACKER'S MANIFESTO.

BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF HATE WITH THE LIGHT AND LOVE FOUND IN OUR FAITH.

>> IT'S A SAD THING TO SEE.

>> Reporter: THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC RELATIONS, SAN DIEGO.

SHE WAS NOT SURPRISED THAT THE GUNMAN HAD OTHER TARGETS.

>> PEOPLE WHO HATE A CERTAIN TYPE OF COMMUNITY USUALLY HATE OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL.

WE SAW THAT WHEN THE ATTACK HAPPENED.

RIGHT BEFORE THAT, THE SAME PERSON HAD TRIED TO BURN DOWN A MOSQUE.

>> Reporter: AUTHORITIES SAY THE GUNMEN WERE ALSO PLANNING TO ATTACK BLACK STUDENTS AT A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL.

WELL AUTHORITIES DIDN'T SAY WHICH HIGH SCHOOL, ONE OF THE STUDENTS WAS A STUDENT HERE.

>> Reporter: AUTHORITIES EVEN TOLD THE DISTRICT WHICH IF ANY OF THE SCHOOLS WAS ITS INTENDED TARGET.

THE AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF SAN DIEGO.

HE SAYS HATRED ONLINE IS NOW TURNING INTO REAL-WORLD BULLETS.

>> UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEW NORM WE ARE EXPERIENCING HERE IN THE STATES OF AMERICA.

WHITE SUPREMACY IS ON THE RISE.

>> Reporter: AND SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO ISLAM.

THAT HATRED HAS BEEN BOILING SINCE 9/11, 25 YEARS AGO.

>> POST 9/11 THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF ISLAMOPHOBIA YEAR AFTER YEAR.

TARGETED FOR BEING DISTRICT.

DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN WORKSPACES.

HARASSED AND BULLIED AT SCHOOL'S.

>> Reporter: EDUCATION AND ENGAGING IN MULTICULTURAL AND INTERFAITH WORK.

>> THIS IS HOW WE COMBAT ISLAMOPHOBIA.

THIS IS HOW WE COMBAT ANY TYPE OF PHOBIA.

ANY TYPE OF HATRED THAT RESIDE RIGHT HERE IN OUR SOCIETY.

>> Reporter: ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>> AUTHORITIES SAY THE TEEN GIRL WAS PART OF AN ONLINE SUBCULTURE OF HATE, SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME COMMON AMONG PEOPLE ACCUSED OF EXTREMIST VIOLENCE.

THE CHARGES IN THIS CASE IS SOMETHING NEW FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO FAR RIGHT EXTREMISM.

KPBS REPORTER ANDREW DYER HAS DONE A LOT OF REPORTING ON ONLINE RADICALIZATION AND HE JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE.

ANDREW, WELCOME.

WHY THIS GIRL WAS CHARGED IN RELATION TO HER ACTIVITY ONLINE?

>> WELL, YESTERDAY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY JIM O'NEIL SAID THE COURTS HAVE RULED SOME IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PRESENT DURING A CRIME TO BE CHARGED WITH IT.

IF THEY HELP OTHERS COMMIT THE CRIME THEN THEY ARE ALSO GUILTY.

SARAH SANTIAGO IS CHARGED WITH THREE COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AND CONSPIRACY.

SHE IS 17 BUT IN NORTH CAROLINA SHE IS BEING CHARGED AS AN ADULT.

>> LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT D.A.

JIM O'NEIL HAD TO SAY YESTERDAY.

>> THERE EXIST IN OUR WORLD AN UNDERGROUND SUBCULTURE.

IT IS AN ECHO CHAMBER OF INTENSE HATE AGAINST DIFFERENT CULTURES AND RELIGIONS.

AND THIS UNDERGROUND SUBCULTURE OF HATE, THEY LISTEN TO EACH OTHER.

THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER IN ENCODED PLATFORMS.

IT RADICALIZED IS ONE ANOTHER TO THE POINT WHERE THEY CARRIED OUT THESE HORRIFIC CRIMES OF VIOLENCE AND MURDER.

>> SO I KNOW YOU SPOKE WITH AN EXPERT ON RADICALIZATION TODAY.

WHAT DID THAT PERSON HAVE TO SAY?

>> WELL, PETER IS A SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR.

HE HAS BEEN STUDYING POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND EXTREMISM FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS.

HE SAYS LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS GONE AFTER FOREIGN EXTREMISTS AND TERRORIST COMMUNITIES ONLINE THIS WAY BEFORE BUT DOMESTIC EXTREMISTS, YESTERDAY'S CHARGES ARE SOMETHING NEW.

HE SAYS KIDS AND ADOLESCENTS ARE GETTING ONLINE AT YOUNGER AGES AND FINDING COMMUNITY THERE.

>> FOR ONE, THE CHILD MAY BE INCREASINGLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THESE KIND OF MESSAGES AND MAY BE SEEKING SOME TYPE OF COMMUNITY ONLINE THEY DON'T HAVE IN THEIR OFF-LINE LIFE, WHETHER AT HOME OR AT SCHOOL WITH PEERS.

THEY MAY NOT HAVE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS THERE OR ANY RELATIONSHIPS IN SOME CASES.

VERY ISOLATED.

>> INTERESTING.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE FINDING THESE COMMUNITIES?

>> NOT SPECIFICALLY.

YEARS AGO YOU WOULD HAVE TO ACTIVELY SEARCH FOR EXTREMIST COMMUNITIES AND MATERIAL ONLINE.

NOW, BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF OUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS, THE MATERIALS ARE FINDING USE OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING EXPOSED ARE EXTREMELY HIGHER.

>>> OVERNIGHT LOWS INTO THE UPPER 60s.

ONCE AGAIN, NOT TOO LONG AGO WE WERE STILL IN THE LOW 70s OVERNIGHT.

MAINLY CLEAR SKIES.

WE ARE SEEING SOME CHANGES AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK BECAUSE IT MAY BE METER LOGICALLY FALL NOW BUT STILL VERY MUCH A SUMMER PATTERN.

HIGH-PRESSURE INFLUENCE.

MONSOONAL MOISTURE HAS BEEN DESTROYED FOR THIS WEEK.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AHEAD COMING UP.

>> RENEWED FIGHTING HAS PUSHED PRICES UP WHILE PUTTING FRESH FOCUS ON THE POLL ON GAS PRICES IN THE U.S.

THAT ISSUE WAS AT THE HEART OF DISCUSSION TODAY AS PRESIDENT TRUMP HOSTED ENERGY INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

MADDIE GANNON HAS THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

>> ONE OF THE MOST TANGIBLE IMPACTS OF THE SIX-MONTH-OLD WAR WITH IRAN FOR AMERICANS HAS BEEN PRICES AT THE PUMP, AND WITH FUEL PRICES SOARING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MET WITH EXECUTIVE FROM OIL REFINERIES AND GAS RETAILERS TUESDAY IN AN EFFORT TO LOWER GAS AND HE DIESEL COSTS IN THE U.S.

THE NATIONAL AVERAGE SURPASSED FOUR DOLLARS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2022.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO AAA WHICH ALSO FOUND THE AVERAGE STATE ABOUT FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON EVERY DAY LAST MONTH IN WHAT MARKED A NEW RECORD.

NOW, FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON NATIONAL AVERAGE COULD HANG GONE THROUGH THE UPCOMING LABOR DAY WEEKEND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

ALL OF THIS WITH LESS THAN THREE MONTHS UNTIL THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, SOMETHING EXPERTS SAY IRAN IS KEENLY AWARE OF.

>> CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEY WANT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF FOUR DOLLARS GAS BEFORE VOTERS GO TO THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER.

>> THE COST OF LIVING IS EXPECTED TO BE A CENTRAL ISSUE IN THIS NOVEMBER.

RAISING GAS PRICES HAS CAUSED THEM AT LEAST SOME HARDSHIP ACCORDING TO CNN'S POLLING FROM THE END OF JULY BUT THE SAME POLL FOUND 71% SAY TRUMP HAS NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH TRYING TO REDUCE THE PRICE OF EVERYDAY GOODS.

MEANWHILE, TRUMP SAID THE DEAL ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK GIVING U.S.

GOVERNMENT MAJORITY CONTROL OVER 65 BILLION BARRELS OF VENEZUELAN OIL RESERVES COULD HELP LOWER GAS PRICES IN THE U.S.

BUT HE ACKNOWLEDGED MONDAY IT COULD TAKE TWO TO THREE YEARS FOR THE EFFECTS TO BE FELT AND DEFINITELY NOT BEFORE THE MIDTERMS.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I AM MADDIE GANNON.

>>> WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, DRIVERLESS TAXIS HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED IN SAN DIEGO.

TODAY MARKS THE FIRST DAY SAN DIEGANS CAN HAIL A PUBLIC RIDE IN AN AUTONOMOUS WAYMO VEHICLE.

WAYMO EXPENDED SERVICE TO AREAS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY INCLUDING HERE, TAMPA, AND DENVER.

THEY SAY THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP HER WAYMO'S SERVICES.

THE SERVICE AREA SPANS ABOUT 50 SQUARE MILES FROM LOGAN HEIGHTS TO PACIFIC BEACH AND SUN CYCLIST TO NORMAL HEIGHTS.

YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE WAYMO APP FIRST AND AFTER THAT NEW RIDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASIS.

>>> STUDENTS FROM THE MONARCH SCHOOL HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY RELOCATED BECAUSE OF WORRIES ABOUT POSSIBLE MOLD ON CAMPUS.

SUSPICION AROSE ON THURSDAY AND TESTING WAS DONE ON FRIDAY.

THE SCHOOL IS STILL WAITING FOR RESULTS TO DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

THE MONARCH SCHOOL SERVES HOMELESS STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, NOT JUST WITH , BUT ALSO WRAPAROUND SERVICES.

MONARCH'S PRESIDENT AND CEO TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER CAGEY TV THAT NO SERVICES ARE AFFECTED.

>> THERAPY SESSIONS ARE STILL BEING HIT.

HOUSING.

HOUSING INSECURITY.

ANYTHING THAT OUR STUDENTS NEED, WE HAVE MET EVERY SINGLE NEED OF OUR PARENTS AND OUR FAMILIES AND OUR STUDENTS, SO NOTHING IS BEING IMPACTED ON THE SERVICES WE ARE PROVIDING.

>> THE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO OTHER CAMPUSES TEMPORARILY BUT AT THIS MOMENT NO ONE KNOWS HOW LONG TEMPORARY WILL LAST.

>>> A SAN DIEGO COUNTY COULD START TREATING SEWAGE THAT SPILLS IN FROM THE TIJUANA RIVER IN MEXICO.

TODAY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED A PLAN TO BUILDING A TREATMENT PLANT.

ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TAMMY MURGA SAYS THE EFFORT WOULD REFORM HOW THE REGION MANAGES THE POLLUTION CRISIS.

>> Reporter: THE SOUTH BAY TREATMENT PLANT IS MEANT TO KEEP MEXICO'S WASTEWATER AWAY FROM THE RIVER.

BUT AFTER HEAVY RAINS OR WHEN THE PLANT REACHES CAPACITY, MILLIONS OF GALLONS LEAK INTO THE RIVER.

COUNTY LEADERS WANT TO ADD ANOTHER LINE OF DEFENSE BEFORE POLLUTION CAN LEAD TO BEACH CLOSURES AND NOXIOUS SEWER GAS OWNERS.

>> VOTING NO.

ALL THE SUPER VISORS BEING PRESENT, VOTING EYE.

>> CONCEPT FOR TREATING RIVER FLOWS.

SHE SAYS ONE POLLUTION CROSSES INTO SAN DIEGO, THE COUNTY HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP ITS RESIDENTS'S SAFE.

>> WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAUL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CONSTITUENTS IN SOUTH BAY THAT ARE SUFFERING ALL THESE ILLNESSES THAT ARE LISTED.

NOT EVEN HALF OF THEM.

THE ONES THAT CANNOT CONTINUE TO WAIT.

AND THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS.

>> Reporter: THE WORK WILL BE FUNDED WITH $1.8 MILLION IN RESERVES.

JEWEL ANDERSON IS THE ONLY SUPERVISOR WHO OPPOSES THE PLAN.

>> COULD LEAD TO BILLIONS AND THE COUNTY JUST DOESN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.

IT SHOULD NOT BE THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY.

THE STATE AND THE FEDS AND EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD BE INVOLVED.

>> Reporter: LONG-TERM FUNDING COULD COME FROM A HALF CENT SALES TAX ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.

TAMMY MURGA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M JEFF BENNETT.

A WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGES THE U.S.

POSTAL SERVICE IS RUSHING AN UNTESTED MAIL BALLOT SYSTEM AHEAD OF THE MIDTERMS.

THAT IS AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> WEEKS AFTER THE PARTISAN AS NEW OWNERSHIP, THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS ARE UNVEILING A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP OF THEIR OWN.

LOS ANGELES RAMS OWNER SAM CRONK HE HAS ENTERED AN AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE CLUB.

IT IS EXPECTED TO BE FINALIZED DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027.

HE WILL BE TAKING OVER FOR MARTY MARINO WHO HAS OWNED THE ANGEL SINCE 2003.

IN ADDITION TO THE NFL'S RAMS, OWNS THE NBA'S DENVER NUGGETS.

THEY DEVELOP SOFI STADIUM AND THEY ARE A PARTNER FOR THE MIDWAY RISING PROJECT HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

>>> A BILL TO REGULATE HOW HUMAN REMAINS ARE DISPOSED OF WILL BE CRUCIAL TO HELPING SAN DIEGO'S MIDWAY RISING PROJECT BREAK GROUND.

>>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO SCOTT LEWIS EXPLAINS A LEGISLATIVE TRICK THAT LAWMAKERS USED TO HELP THE DEVELOPMENT.

>> CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 344 WOULD HAVE CLARIFIED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SCATTER HUMAN REMAINS FROM A DOCK IN A BAY.

AND LAST YEAR IT PASSED THE STATE SENATE AND JUST NEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY.

AND THEN IT WAS ABANDONED UNTIL NOW.

NOW, IT WILL PREVENT PEOPLE FROM SUING TO STOP THE MIDWAY RISING PROJECT.

THE BILL WAS PLUCKED FROM OBSCURITY AND GIVEN A NEW JOB.

LET ME EXPLAIN.

MIDWAY RISING WOULD BUILD 4200 HOMES, A NEW ARENA, AND MORE ON 50 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IN THE MIDWAY DISTRICT.

DEVELOPING GROUP AND THE CITY HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT THAT ENDS DECEMBER FORTH.

THEY MUST FINISH THE LEASE OF THE LAND BY THEN AND CERTIFY THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT IS 1000 PAGES OF ANALYSIS ABOUT THE DAMAGE AND THE TRAFFIC THE PROJECT WOULD CREATE AN THEIR PLANS TO MITIGATE IT.

OPPONENTS OFTEN STOP PROJECTS BY ARGUING IN COURT THAT AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT LIKE THAT IS INADEQUATE.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE STRIPPED ALL THE LANGUAGE OUT OF THE BILL ABOUT DISPOSING HUMAN REMAINS AND REWROTE IT TO PROTECT MIDWAY RISING FROM LAWSUITS.

THAT IS CALLED A GUT AND AMEND.

WHY DO THAT?

BECAUSE THE BILL IN HUMAN REMAINS HAD ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE COMMITTEES AND CLEARED LEGISLATIVE HURDLES.

WITH A TWO THIRDS VOTE, THEY CAN NOW ENACT IT IMMEDIATELY.

ANDISON THE INVESTORS IN MIDWAY RISING ARE PROTECTED FROM MILLIONS IN LEGAL COSTS AND DELAYS AND OPPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ARE LOSING ONE OF THEIR BEST TOOLS TO STOP IT.

I'M SCOTT LEWIS FOR VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS FOR THE PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG/PUBLICMATTERS.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS FACING A POTENTIALLY MAJOR PROBLEM AS WE BRACE FOR POWERFUL EL NINO STORMS.

CITY DATA SHOWS STORM DRAIN PIPES IN PARTS OF THE CITY AREN'T BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE LARGE AMOUNTS OF STORM RUNOFF.

HERE IS A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

IN THE SAN DIEGO BAY WATERSHED, EXCLUDING CREEK, ONLY ONE AND THREE DRAINPIPES ARE BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE A 100 YEAR STORM, MEANING ABOUT TWO THIRDS DON'T MEET THAT BENCHMARK FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.

66% DUE.

MISSION BAY, 70%.

AND LOS PENASQUITOS, 94%.

>> 100 YEAR STORM.

>> OVER THE DECADES, THERE HASN'T BEEN THE INVESTMENT INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PERHAPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID.

WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS HERE.

THIS IS WHERE THE WORK IS HAPPENING.

AN AREA AFFECTED BY THE FLOODS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

>> THE CITY SAYS NONE OF THIS MEANS THAT EVERY UNDERSIZED PIPE WILL LEAD TO FLOODING.

WATER COULD REMAIN BELOW THE ACTUAL FLOODING THRESHOLD.

A 24 DEPARTMENT WORKING GROUP IS COORDINATING SANDBAG DEPLOYMENT, REMOVAL, EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING FOR POSSIBLE EVACUATIONS.

>>> AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WE STAY WITH OUR TEMPERATURES BELOW HISTORICAL AVERAGES.

ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.

NOW, THERE IS A PRO AND CON SITUATION TO THIS.

WE ALSO HAVE STRONGER WIND GUSTS AND THAT ELEVATES OUR FIRE RISKS.

'TIS THE SEASON.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING PRECAUTIONS AND DON'T ACCIDENTALLY SPARK SOMETHING.

LOCAL ALERTS FOR RED FLAG WARNINGS.

STORM A CHANCE.

SO A LOT OF MOVING PARTS HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

LET'S START OFF WITH WHAT TO EXPECT TONIGHT OVERNIGHT.

LOW 70s.

MID-50s FOR MOUNT LAGUNA.

50s FOR OCEANSIDE.

SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA.

BUT MUCH BETTER THAN NOT TOO LONG AGO WHEN WE HAD THOSE LOWS OVERNIGHT IN THE 70s.

SO THERE'S THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

WE DON'T HAVE THE BULK OF THE RAIN AND THE THUNDERSTORMS, BUT SOME OF THAT WIND FLOW IS DEFINITELY GOING TO IMPACT US AND REALLY ON A MAP LIKE THIS WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF SHADING FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, IT'S A GOOD THING.

RIGHT WHERE WE SHOULD BE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

AND MOSTLY PLEASANT EVEN THOUGH THE PLEASANT SHADING DOESN'T EXTEND QUITE DOWN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

OVERALL TAKING A LOOK AHEAD TO TOMORROW, WELL, WE ARE NOT IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

NOT IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

89 FOR RAMONA.

UPPER 70s ALONG THE COAST OCEANSIDE THROUGH SAN DIEGO AND DOWN TO CHULA VISTA.

ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND.

THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE BUT A REMINDER.

ESPECIALLY IF ANYONE IS TRAVELING IN THE AREA.

THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE COASTAL HAZARDS BECAUSE OF OFFSHORE TROPICAL ACTIVITY IN THE PACIFIC OVERALL.

SO WATCH OUT FOR SEEKER WAVES.

WATCH OUT FOR ELEVATED RISK OF RECURRENCE.

IF YOU ARE HEADED TO THE BEACH, MAKE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO LIFEGUARDS AND FLAGS AND ALERTS AT YOUR SPECIFIC BEACH BECAUSE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE BEACH TO BEACH VERY QUICKLY.

NEXT FIVE DAYS HERE ALONG THE COAST.

WE DO WARM-UP BACK INTO THE 80s BUT IT IS NOT UNTIL THE WEEKEND AND REALLY THE LATE WEEKEND THAT WE REALLY SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE BECAUSE 79 TO 80, YOU PROBABLY WON'T FEEL MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BUT 80 TO 86, THAT YOU MIGHT FEEL.

INLAND, RAIN CHANCES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR.

SATURDAY SURE BETTER CHANCE TO GET OUTSIDE THOUGH YOU WILL NOTICE THERE IS A CHANCE OF A SHOWER.

NOT COMPLETELY DRIVE.

CLOSER TO 90 BY THE TIME WE GET TO SUNDAY AS WELL.

WE HEAD TO OUR MOUNTAIN REGIONS.

60s UNTIL SUNDAY WHEN IT IS THE WORST OF BOTH WORLDS.

TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE MID- 70s AFTER WE HAVE BEEN IN THE 60s.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS.

FOR OUR DESERT REGION, WHILE, WE ARE STAYING OUT OF THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER.

96 FRIDAY DOWN TO 92 SATURDAY AND BACK UP TO 97 SUNDAY.

NOT TRIPLE DIGITS.

IT IS NOT TRIPLE DIGITS 110 OR HIGHER SO WE WILL TAKE IT.

I AM ACCUWEATHER'S AND A ZILLION.
