Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, December twenty fifth.
We wake up today watching the storm that has been pounding Southern California push across our own neighborhoods. NBC 7 reports that a powerful band of rain and wind is sweeping through San Diego County, with a flood watch in effect and wind gusts pushing around forty five miles per hour along the coast and in the valleys. Lifeguards are on standby at multiple staging areas, and city crews are clearing storm drains from Mission Valley to the South Bay to keep our streets from backing up.
We do see this weather affecting our day. CBS 8 says San Diego International is dealing with hundreds of delays and a handful of cancellations, so we give ourselves extra time if we are heading down Harbor Drive. On our freeways, wet pavement and fallen branches are still an issue on stretches of the 8 in La Mesa, the 805 through North Park, and around the 5 and 163 near downtown.
The storm also turns tragic. CBS 8 reports a man was killed when part of a large tree came down near Marlborough Avenue and Whiteman Street, as crews now inspect older trees in surrounding neighborhoods. Officials remind us to stay clear of big limbs and power lines in our own yards.
From City Hall, storm prep is front and center. According to local coverage, hundreds of city workers are out today checking flood prone spots along the San Diego River near Fashion Valley, around Pacific Highway, and in Barrio Logan, while the mayor’s office urges us not to drive through standing water.
For our short term weather outlook, we stay in the rain on and off through the afternoon, coolest near the beaches in the low 60s, with pockets of heavier showers inland. Conditions should slowly ease overnight, but we keep scattered showers into tomorrow before drier skies return for the weekend.
On the neighborhood front, some waterfront restaurants along Harbor Island and Seaport Village are adjusting hours today because of the storm, while several small shops in North Park and South Park are offering post holiday discounts to draw people in once the rain lets up.
In jobs and real estate, local recruiters say retail and hospitality are still hiring for roughly a few hundred seasonal and part time roles, especially near Mission Valley and UTC, while agents report that median home prices are holding near the mid nine hundreds across the county, with fewer new listings this week as many sellers wait until January.
Community events are weather dependent, but holiday light displays in Balboa Park and around Hotel del Coronado plan to stay on, rain or shine, as long as conditions remain safe.
In schools, local districts are on winter break, but several high school basketball programs from the city are competing in holiday tournaments across the county this week, giving our student athletes a chance to shine.
On public safety, NBC 7 notes that a San Diego police dog is recovering after being hurt in the line of duty during an incident with an armed suspect. Overnight, police and the sheriff’s department focus on weather related crashes and DUI patrols, especially along El Cajon Boulevard, near the Gaslamp, and in Pacific Beach. Authorities stress we line up a sober ride if we are out celebrating.
We end with a feel good story. NBC 7 highlights a local amputee and cancer survivor here in San Diego who is using her own journey to push for better patient support and insurance coverage, turning a long hospital stay into advocacy that helps others across our region.
