概要

 Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, February 19th.

We're waking up to a region still dealing with the aftermath of a powerful winter storm that swept through Southern California this week. Thousands of San Diego Gas and Electric customers experienced outages on Wednesday, with the main disruptions hitting the Chula Vista area around seven in the morning. At least forty-four hundred customers lost power, though crews worked to restore service by mid-morning. Smaller outages also affected folks in Lemon Grove, Valley Center, Encinitas, El Cajon, and La Mesa. The utility says strong winds and heavy storms across the county likely contributed to these widespread power issues.

Speaking of that storm, conditions have been intense across the region and beyond. The Sierra Nevada has been particularly hard hit, and we're learning more this morning about a tragic avalanche that struck backcountry skiers on Tuesday. Eight people were killed in what turned out to be the deadliest avalanche in the nation in nearly half a century. Authorities say the group of fifteen skiers, many with deep connections to the Lake Tahoe alpine community, were caught in treacherous conditions as they made their way back toward the trailhead. One person remains missing. Avalanche warnings remain in effect through early Thursday as crews wait for conditions to clear so they can recover the remaining victims.

Here in San Diego proper, we're looking at what appears to be near the end of this major weather system. We're expecting mostly cloudy skies today with temperatures holding in the upper fifty to low sixty degree range. Light winds are expected to continue diminishing, so hopefully we'll see some relief from the gusty conditions that have hammered us. Looking ahead to Friday, there's still a chance of showers, particularly in the afternoon and evening hours, but we should see improving conditions as we move into the weekend with mostly sunny skies expected by Sunday.

On the education front, we have some positive news out of San Diego's school district. Teachers have cancelled a planned strike after reaching an agreement with the district on special education staffing and services. Both sides came together to invest in better resources for students with special needs, avoiding what would have been a significant disruption to the school year.

As we head into the weekend, folks are encouraged to take advantage of improving weather conditions to get outside and enjoy some activities. The worst of the winter weather appears to be moving on, though we'll want to keep an eye on lingering rain chances through Friday.
