San Diego Sunday Heat Alert: 107 Degrees Expected as USD Baseball Takes On Gonzaga

Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Sunday, March 22nd.

We're starting this Sunday with some intense heat settling over our region. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning for San Diego County's desert areas, with temperatures climbing to between 102 and 107 degrees. That warning expires this evening at 8 PM, but don't expect much relief overnight. Temperatures are only dropping into the 70s and 80s, which means we're in for a scorcher. If you're heading out today, make sure you're staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, and limiting strenuous activities to early morning or evening hours. Officials are urging us to check on our neighbors, especially the elderly, and please never leave children or pets in unattended vehicles. The good news is that this extreme heat is expected to ease slightly as we move through the week, though we'll still be looking at afternoon highs in the 100 to 105 degree range into next week.

On the sports front, USD baseball is looking to bounce back this afternoon against Gonzaga. The Toreros took a tough loss yesterday night at Fowler Park, falling 7 to 5 after holding a 5 to 2 lead going into the fourth inning. Four runs from Gonzaga in the eighth and ninth innings proved to be the difference. But there's still hope. The decisive series finale is happening right here at home at 1 PM today at Fowler Park, with the game streaming live on ESPN Plus. It's also Military Appreciation Day at Fowler Park, so there will be a pregame flyover during the National Anthem. Some bright spots from yesterday's game include Jayden Springer, who went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and earned his 15th hit by pitch of the season, which is tied for third best in the entire nation. His hot bat shows no signs of cooling down.

We're also seeing some impressive golf action this weekend. The Air Force Academy golf team is competing in the sixth annual UC San Diego Invitational at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, along with DePaul University. The tournament runs through Tuesday, March 24th, and you can follow live scoring on Scoreboard by Clippd. Torrey Pines is one of the most prestigious courses in the country, hosting the US Open twice in recent memory.

As we head into your Sunday, remember to stay safe in this heat. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in air conditioned spaces when possible, and keep an eye on vulnerable loved ones. We'll continue tracking the weather situation as it develops throughout the day.
