San Diego’s Weather Forecast for Saturday, March 29, 2025: Cool, partly cloudy Saturday

ABC 10News Pinpoint Weather with Moses Small: Cool, partly cloudy Saturday The weekend is here! We’re starting off gray this morning, with lots of marine layer cloud coverage and even areas of patchy drizzle. Most of this will clear by the afternoon, but we have a cool day on top. Today’s highs will bring low to mid 60s along the coast and inland, with partly cloudy skies. The mountains will reach near 60, while the deserts will reach near 80. The deserts have a wind advisory until 11 a.m., so watch for wind gusts as fast as 60 miles per hour! Strong wind gusts persist for the mountains and deserts through the day, with more gusts up to 50 miles per hour. This week’s forecast becomes a mixed bag, with a series of storms heading to the Pacific Northwest. They’ll be too far away to create very stormy conditions here at home, but they will swing some moisture and clouds our way. That means drizzle is possible most mornings this week, and an incoming system may squeeze out light showers Monday morning. Totals are forecasting

Inland Empire faces significantly higher wildfire risk, Cal Fire says

Larry Thomas knew he and his wife had moved into wildfire country when they settled in Jurupa Valley eight years ago. “I love the mountains,” said Thomas, 69, a retired aerospace engineer and the current pastor at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Ontario. “I love the scenery, but I just know what comes with it.” He and his wife live in the brushy foothills just east of the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center. Large hills that are lush green — for now — loom over the neighborhood. Thomas and his neighbors said this week that they constantly live with the knowledge that a wildfire could sweep through their tightly-packed homes. “We’ve had them over beyond the golf course and across the freeway,” Thomas said. “They’ve been all around us but not here. But it’s a matter of time.” Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center is seen on Friday, March 28, 2025, the area surround the center along with the hills haven been newly designated as a “very high fire hazard severity zone” by Cal Fire.

‘Alarmed’ prosecutors challenge judge in court for mentally ill defendants

There’s a battle under way in a specialized San Diego court program for criminal defendants with a serious mental illness, a tug-of-war that may be stalling the program from accepting new participants. Several times since last summer, the District Attorney’s Office has asked the Superior Court judge overseeing Behavioral Health Court to recuse herself from hearing cases involving referrals of potential participants to join the court program. Judge Cindy Davis has generally refused to do so. Prosecutors took their fight to a state appeals court, arguing in court documents that Davis has admitted “inappropriate participants,” overlooked input from the team that makes up the collaborative court, and “struggled” to hold participants — who are all criminal defendants — accountable. “Over the last few years, we have become increasingly alarmed by Judge Davis’ decision-making,” prosecutors said in a January court document laying out why they are seeking her recusal. The prosecuting agency pointed to the admission of a woman who starved her infant to death and to the overdose deaths of three Behavioral Health Court participants in quick succession. One had continually failed his drug tests, but

Seven vote centers open across the South Bay in District 1 county supervisor election

Seven vote centers are open starting today across San Diego’s South Bay for the upcoming special election where voters will decide who they want to fill the vacant District 1 county supervisor seat. The centers will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through the date of the special election — and the final day to vote — on April 8. Thirteen additional vote centers will be open across the district on election day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters can also submit their ballot at one of the 29 drop boxes that have been open since March 11 or vote in person at the San Diego County Registrar of Voters offices in Kearny Mesa, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Seven candidates are running for the seat vacated by former District 1 Supervisor Nora Vargas, who announced in December that she would not serve the second term to which she’d just been elected. Whoever is elected will serve out the remainder of the four-year term, which ends in January 2029. The District 1 supervisor represents the cities of Chula Vista, National

San Diego lags other cities in grant funding and needs a new strategy, audit finds

A new city audit finds San Diego lags far behind other big California cities in bringing in grant funding — a key factor in large budget deficits the city is facing. The other major cities in California get two-thirds more money per resident than San Diego in annual funding from state, federal and other grants. San Diego averages $337 per resident, while the other large cities average $558. The gap is even wider when it comes to grant funding for infrastructure projects, with San Diego averaging $97 per resident compared to an average of $180 in other large California cities — 85% more than San Diego. Grant funding made up just 11.5% of San Diego’s total revenues during fiscal year 2023, far less than the 19.7% average among the state’s other large cities. According to city auditors, a key challenge for San Diego in securing some grants is the lack of required local matching funds — which the city would be in a better position to provide had voters approved proposed tax hikes in recent years. In 2020, city voters rejected a $900 million housing

Myanmar, Thailand earthquake death toll jumps to more than 1K as bodies recovered from the rubble

BANGKOK — Myanmar’s ruling military said Saturday on state television that the confirmed death toll from a devastating earthquake rose to more than 1,600. The new total of 1,644 is a sharp rise over the 1,002 total announced just hours earlier, underlining the difficulty of confirming casualties over a widespread region and the likelihood that the numbers will continue to grow from Friday’s quake. The number of injured increased to 3,408, while the missing figure rose to 139. Rescue efforts are underway especially in the major stricken cities of Mandalay and Naypyitaw, the capital. But even though teams and equipment have been flown in from other nations, they are hindered by the airports in those cities being damaged and apparently unfit to land planes. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. The death toll from a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar jumped to more than 1,000 on Saturday as more bodies were pulled from the rubble of the scores of buildings that collapsed when it struck near the country’s second-largest city.

FEMA extends debris cleanup program for Southern California wildfire victims 

The deadline to either opt-in or opt-out for government-run wildfire debris removal has been extended.   FEMA made the announcement on Friday, stating that the new deadline to submit a Right of Entry form is April 15 for single-family homes affected by the deadly and devastating January wildfires. All property owners should submit an ROE form by that date, either opting in or out of the program. The original deadline was Monday. Gang-related shooting leaves man dead inside RV; 3 suspects sought The program was expanded to include multi-family homes, and that deadline is also April 15, but the process is little more complicated:   For owner-occupied units, each owner of a destroyed unit in a condominium or duplex must submit an ROE form as well as the homeowner’s association of the building so that the county, state and FEMA can assess the property for eligibility. Residential commercial properties that contain at least one owner-occupied home, including most condominium and some multi-family buildings, are eligible for federally funded debris removal, even if there is a mix of owner-occupied and rental units.  Rental units are generally

Prep roundup: Serra baseball gets revenge on St. Francis, Lancers blank St. Ignatius in softball, Pittsburg stays hot

MOUNTAIN VIEW — If at first you don’t succeed, get ‘em later in the week.  That’s the opportunity Serra baseball was afforded on Friday night in Mountain View three days after losing 4-0 to St. Francis in San Mateo. The Padres, the No. 1 team in the Bay Area News Group rankings , had begun the season 10-0 with a big nonleague win over Los Gatos and a sweep of Bellarmine to commence West Catholic Athletic League play. After Serra was blanked by St. Francis on Tuesday, the Padres made the trip down Interstate 280 and salvaged a series split, winning 5-3. “It was good to see the team bounce back,” Serra coach Mat Keplinger said. “We suffered our first loss on Tuesday, and we hadn’t been punched in the mouth. So it was good to see us respond today.” Serra (11-1) led the entire game on Friday, going up 2-0 in the top of the first inning and stretching its lead to 5-1 by the fifth inning. St. Francis got two runs back in the sixth and brought the tying run to the plate

Palestinian-owned coffee shop in Los Gatos hosts community for Ramadan

As the sun set, a Palestinian-owned coffee shop in Los Gatos lit up with life as dozens of people observing Ramadan stopped by to break their fasts last Saturday. Kenz Coffee Bar operates out of a trailer across the street from Leigh High School and next to the recreational and educational organization Bay Area Muslim Recreation, or BAMREC. During the month of Ramadan, they put on a series of events, launching new coffee flavors and hosting a food truck iftar for people observing Ramadan. Mohammad Subeh, an emergency room doctor and owner of Kenz, said he wanted to hold these events to bring people together and create a sense of community, since he felt that people were becoming more isolated in the last decade or so. “It’s really to open up a space for people to be here amongst their fellow human beings, to learn from one another, and also to not turn a blind eye to a lot of the struggles that people face — not only locally, but abroad,” Subeh said.

Attorney calls for lowering Oakland murder suspect’s bail to $40,000

OAKLAND — The attorney for a man accused of fatally shooting his half-brother has raised a possible self-defense theory in a failed bid to get him released from jail. Matthew John, 21, was arrested and charged last month in the Feb. 22, 2023 shooting death of 22-year-old Joshua Hopkins. In a motion to set John’s bail to $40,000, deputy public defender Desiree Woods argued there was a possible self-defense case based on the police investigation’s conclusions. “According to the (police) declaration of probable cause, the suspected shooter was pushed, punched in the face, followed to his car, and had a rock and a paint can thrown at him by the decedent,” Woods wrote in court filings. A judge denied the motion earlier this month. In addition to the possible self-defense theory, Woods wrote that her client had secured a job at a moving company and wanted to get back to work. Hopkins was shot and killed on the 2200 block of Seminary Avenue, at a second-floor apartment there. He was arguing with his killer just before the shooting, according to police. He was found lying

Fremont’s Alysa Liu delivers the US its first women’s figure skating world championship in nearly 2 decades

By DAVE SKRETTA BOSTON (AP) — Alysa Liu skated around the ice in disbelief, her golden dress shimmering in the lights of TD Garden, and the appreciative roar from a sellout crowd reminded her why she had returned to the sport following a nearly two-year retirement. When her score was finally read, the 19-year-old who grew up in Fremont had made history. Liu became the first American women’s figure skating world champion in nearly two decades, dethroning three-time defending champ Kaori Sakamoto with a brilliant free skate Friday night. Her program to a rendition of “MacArthur Park” by Boston native Donna Summer earned her a standing ovation, and allowed Liu to finish with 222.97 points. “I mean, it means so much to me and everything I’ve been through,” said Liu, who was born in Clovis. “My last skating experience, my time away and this time around — I’m so happy, I guess. I’m mostly glad I could put out two of my best performances.” Gold medalist Alysa Liu, of the United States poses for photos during a medal ceremony for the women’s free skating program

Quakes’ Bouda balances faith with performance during Ramadan

When San Jose Earthquakes forward Ousseni Bouda  faces the Seattle Sounders Saturday night at PayPal Park, he may run to the sideline more than normal during breaks in the action to sneak some water or electrolytes. A practicing Muslim, Bouda is abstaining from food and drinks from sunrise to sundown this month in observance of Ramadan, which ends Sunday. It may seem challenging for a pro athlete to compete under these restrictions. But that’s the point. “On game days, it’s a little bit harder, but in general, it’s just such a month that’s full of blessings for Muslims,” Bouda said. “It’s something that we’re really proud of. It’s a month that makes us think about other people more than ourselves, because when you fast and you can’t eat or drink, it makes you feel the pain that those who don’t have enough to eat or water to drink feel. “So, if it is hard, that’s how it’s supposed to be. That’s just the way I think about it.” SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 16: San Jose Earthquakes’ Ousseni Bouda (25) runs with the ball during

Full Auditory Alchemist

Greetings, puddle jumpers! Last week, we splashed around in the reflective and playful nature of puddles, transforming them into canvases for photography, scientific experiments, and even theatrical performances. Did you capture the distorted beauty of your surroundings in surreal pictures?  Maybe you choreographed a sidewalk slide in the rain to challenge the supremacy of the Electric slide ? Some of us might have found the perfect puddle to ponder over, and perhaps you’re there right now, waiting for another rain cloud to appear. This week, we’re diving into the auditory realm, specifically, that persistent melody that refuses to leave your brain: the earworm. You know the one – that song, jingle, or snippet of music that loops endlessly in your mind, driving you slightly mad. Across cultures, this phenomenon has many names. In German, it’s an “Ohrwurm,” literally “earworm.” In Tagalog, it’s called an “LSS” (Last Song Syndrome). In Spanish, “canción pegadiza” or “sticky song”. Regardless of the label, the experience is universal: a musical fragment lodged in our consciousness, playing on repeat. Often, the only “cure” is time . The earworm will eventually move

Santa Barbara-based nonprofit sending aid to Southeast Asia earthquake victims

Relief efforts are underway in Southeast Asia following a 7.7-magnitude earthquake, and among those helping is a Santa Barbara-based nonprofit. “Shelter Box has deployed our emergency response team,” said Kerri Murray, the president of ShelterBox. “This is our first step. They are en route to the region. They are going to be staging and coordinating out of Bangkok, and they will start to look at numbers on how many people have been affected and where and how we can get aid to the most vulnerable people.” The organization sends supplies for emergency shelter all over the world during a disaster, as well as basic household supplies. Murray said these emergency shelters can house families for long periods as the rebuilding gets underway. “This is a double-walled relief tent,” said Murray. “This is made for humanitarian purposes, meant to withstand high rain and wind situations. So this will be a place, probably for months, that a family would typically use as an emergency shelter. But there is actually space inside the shelter to create rooms and collect family areas for light and ventilation.” To donate to
