Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November twentieth. We wake up today to the third round of storms this week, with skies already gray and off and on showers likely right through the evening. According to the National Weather Service, most neighborhoods will see another three quarters to an inch and a half of rain by tonight, with totals highest in our East County foothills. Gusty winds could make the evening commute tricky, especially on the bridges and near the coast, so let's all drive a little slower if we can. Temperatures hover in the low sixties today, and the chance of thunder increases during the late afternoon. The worst should clear by Friday, with sunshine returning Saturday and Sunday, just in time for those Thanksgiving plans next week.All that wet weather has prompted the city to keep a close eye on storm drains across our neighborhoods. San Diego staffers are still monitoring over forty six thousand storm drains and reminding us to report any flooding or downed trees. The Get It Done app is still the best way to send in problems you notice on your street, or you can call Public Works directly. Residents of South Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and around Rose Creek woke up to some minor street flooding again, but most water receded overnight. A rain advisory remains for all city beaches. Beachgoers, the Department of Environmental Health reminds us to avoid swimming or surfing near drains and lagoon outlets for the next seventy two hours to help prevent illness from elevated bacteria levels.City Hall made headlines last night as the County Board of Supervisors approved a new partnership with the San Diego Foundation and two other major philanthropies. The county faces a three-hundred-million-dollar gap after deep federal funding cuts impacted food support, housing, and health programs. This partnership will invest thirty six million dollars over two years to keep food banks, shelters, and basic medical care going for thousands of families. That comes as more rain drives greater demand for shelter, and city workers continue outreach along the San Diego River and canyons.In breaking sports news, the city is mourning Padres legend Randy Jones, who passed away earlier this week. Jones is remembered not only for his Cy Young Award, but for his commitment to youth sports and local charities. The club plans a tribute at Petco Park this weekend. In high school sports, Cathedral Catholic’s football team clinched their playoff spot last night, advancing with a dramatic win on the Mesa College field.The San Diego real estate market remains active, with median sale prices steady just below eight hundred thousand. Over a thousand new job postings were added in hospitality and biotech this week, giving job seekers more choices as the busy holiday season begins. Meanwhile, several new grocery chains are slated to open in Mira Mesa and Otay Mesa before the end of the month, promising dozens of new positions and more options for shoppers.Turning to public safety, Chula Vista residents are voicing concern about a strong chlorine odor in tap water on Orange Avenue. The water district says testing is underway, but the water remains safe for use. In Vista, city council declared the city a sanctuary jurisdiction in a 3 to 2 vote, ending most local police cooperation with federal immigration agents. Overnight, police responded to a rare but intense incident at Pizzarella Roman Pizza in Vista, where a patron suffered injuries during what officers call an isolated event. In Carmel Mountain, a man convicted of making threats against Shoal Creek Elementary was sentenced to two years but released under parole, with new state law now increasing penalties for threats against schools.On the community front, families can look forward to the East Village Tree Lighting and Holiday Market returning downtown this weekend, bringing food, music, and seasonal cheer around Petco Park. If you have a free afternoon, the Southeast San Diego mural project is seeking volunteers this Saturday to help paint and beautify local walls—a terrific way to meet neighbors and support public art.Today’s feel-good update: residents along Mission Boulevard kept spirits high this week, even as their favorite beach bar flooded, by donning flip-flops and lending a hand to clean up. It’s a small reminder of the San Diego way—neighbors helping each other, rain or shine.Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss your daily local roundup.
