Welcome to San Diego Daily News, I'm Morgan Riley bringing you the latest from America's Finest City on this Thursday, May 8th, 2025.

Word on the streets of San Diego is that big waves are coming our way this weekend. Forecasters predict 10-foot waves hitting our beaches thanks to a spring swell, so surfers are gearing up while officials remind beachgoers to be extra cautious when entering the water.

In breaking news, Cal Fire is facing scrutiny after a station closure reportedly delayed response time to a house fire in Dulzura last Friday. The incident has sparked concerns about emergency service coverage in our eastern communities as we head into the warmer months.

The Padres continue their exciting season with Fernando Tatis Jr. playing the hero in Tuesday night's game against the Pirates. Despite some injury concerns last week, Tatis came through in the ninth inning to edge out a victory. The team also overcame rain delays and saw some dramatic ejections in their win earlier this week, showing the grit that's defining this season.

In community news, the "Bridge for Max" project at Mission Trails Regional Park is one step closer to becoming reality. This memorial bridge will honor a beloved community member while enhancing access to one of our treasured natural spaces.

Good news for families in Mountain View as the city has reopened the refurbished Community Park that had fallen into disrepair. The renovated facilities are now welcoming residents back to enjoy upgraded amenities.

Literature lovers should take note of the growing contributions from San Diego authors who are creating important works about the Vietnam War and Vietnamese diaspora, adding diverse perspectives to our understanding of this complex history.

And at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, visitors can now see the adorable giraffe calf that recently took its first steps in public. The young giraffe represents another success story for the park's renowned conservation program.

Looking ahead, our weekend forecast calls for perfect May weather with temperatures in the mid-70s along the coast and low 80s inland. Those big waves I mentioned earlier will peak on Saturday, so plan accordingly if you're heading to the beach.

As we navigate these stories, from infrastructure improvements to sports triumphs, I'm reminded of how our community continues to grow and evolve while preserving what makes San Diego special.
