A Santa Ana wind event and warm temperatures will bring dry and gusty conditions to San Diego County, and prompted a red flag warning for Wednesday.

Temperatures will jump nearly 10 degrees at the coast and continue to climb into Thursday. Tuesday’s high was forecasted to be 67 degrees but by Thursday, temps at the beaches will soar to 81. Inland communities will see temperatures in the upper 80s.

Wind will play a factor in elevating our fire danger.

A red flag warning means critical fire weather conditions are either happening now or will shortly. Any fires that develop may spread quickly, according to the National Weather Service.

On Wednesday evening and Thursday, northeasterly winds of 20-30 mph are possible, with gusts to 45 mph in wind-favored passes and canyons. Isolated gusts of 60 mph are possible.

Drivers on Interstate 8, through the East County, should use extra caution, particularly Thursday morning. Gusty conditions and blowing dust and debris will make driving difficult.

High pressure over the southwest will begin to weaken Friday, with wind speeds dying down. This weekend, the return of an onshore flow and slight marine layer will also lower temperatures back into the 70’s.

Hundreds of fast food workers marched in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday, joining thousands across the country to push for higher wages.

Their target -- $15 an hour, a considerable increase from California's minimum wage of $9 an hour but something they say they need to make ends meet.

The protesters chose a starting point with about 10 fast food places all on one corner just north of USC.

It highlights the widening gap between the wealthy and poor and how many are struggling to survive and feed their families.

They held banners, balloons and signs with the number 15.

Fast food workers chose April 15 to make their point, that they're paid so little that they often have to make up the difference in public assistance.

"Sometimes I have to make a choice to pay rent or buy food," said Melina Ramirez, a fast food worker. "Sometimes I have to buy diapers and we don't have enough to provide for ourselves with food."

Ramirez brought her 11-month-old daughter, Vivian.

There were lots of moms at the demonstration.

And a soon-to-be mom in Monica Reynoso, who's pregnant with her first child.

"How am I going to support my child?" Reynoso said. "What am I gonna do if I don't have enough for diapers?"

The march down Figueroa Street was part of a nationwide protest, a steady drumbeat that it's getting next to impossible to live on California's minimum wage. San Francisco and Seattle are two cities that have already established minimum wages of $15 an hour. Voters will be considering that minimum in a ballot initiative in Oregon.

Many of the protesters were students, some trying to support not just themselves, but also their families.

"I have to support myself too and support them because right now my mom has no job, so it's just me and my dad working," said Nayeli Ceja.

Businesses say raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Critics call the protests a ploy by the Service Employees International Union to unionize fast food workers, something they've been trying to do for years.

But the workers say none of that changes the reality that it's getting harder to make ends meet.

"Its very hard to make close to rent sometimes," Reynoso said. "Sometimes I have to borrow money from my sister or my dad."

Parking rates are about to go up at the most popular spots along the North Embarcadero.

Port officials approved a range of parking rate hikes on Tuesday, impacting the areas near the U.S.S. Midway Museum, Anthony’s Fish Grotto and Tuna Harbor.

Parking rates will range from $1 to $2.50 hourly depending on which part of the North Embarcadero you’re parking at – and at which time of the year. For instance, the most popular areas in the summertime will see the greatest rates.

Previously, parking along the North Embarcadero cost $1.25 per hour at all locations.

Officials said the increase in development in that area as well as the demand for parking spots drove up the costs.

“There’s been so much development along the waterfront,” said Revekka Balancier, spokeswoman for the Port of San Diego. “All of those things kind of increased demand while reducing parking availability.”

In addition to the rate hikes, Port officials decided to expand the parking fee hours to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The previous parking hours were 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Balancier said plans to change up parking rates came after a pilot program to see how it worked at Tuna Harbor last year, which was successful.

The rate changes will take effect in mid-May.

Early Santa Ana winds are blowing more Cal Fire crews into San Diego County, poised in case a blaze starts during this week’s dangerous fire conditions.

Cal Fire moved to “transitional” staffing Monday, which means they have people on call 24/7, according to Cal Fire Public Information Office Kendal Bortisser. Fifteen crews are available in the county.

The National Weather service issued a red flag warning for much of Southern California, including San Diego. It is expected to span Wednesday and Thursday.

“Even though it’s mid-April, the drought has caused conditions to be months drier than they normal would,” said Chief Dale Hutchinson, CAL FIRE southern region chief, in a news release.

More fire engines, bulldozers, crews and aircraft will be available across California in case the Santa Anas help create a wildfire. Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles are also getting increased staffing while the winds stick around.

Still, Cal Fire wants everyone to be extra cautious outside to prevent sparks. Here are some safety tips from officials:

• Don’t mow or trim dry grass with power equipment on windy days
• If campfires are allowed, make sure you extinguish them completely
• Use caution when using powered equipment like chainsaws, tractors and welders
• Never burn landscape debris when it’s windy
• If you are doing target practice, shoot only in approved areas, use lead ammunition and never aim at metal targets

A grieving San Diego County father is offering a $10,000 reward to help find the driver who hit and killed his daughter on a freeway over the weekend.

Ripley Vaughn struggled to hold back tears Tuesday as he described his 21-year-old daughter Noelle Alexandria Vaughn, a nanny who was fatally run over on Interstate 5 near the Aliso Creek rest stop in Oceanside.

“She shouldn't have had to die like this,” said Ripley. “I'm just trying to get closure for her so everybody is held accountable for their actions.”

He told NBC 7 that his daughter went to the barracks at Camp Pendleton at about 10 p.m. Saturday to visit four Marine friends.

Investigators believe they may have argued before she left without her car, phone and purse.

At about 1 a.m., witnesses saw Noelle acting incoherently, running back and forth over the freeway lanes not far from the base. Shortly after, an unknown driver hit Noelle and took off, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman Jim Bettencourt.

Ripley shared his theory on what she was running from.

“My opinion is that I think they may have drugged her, and she panicked and ran, and they wouldn't let her have their phone,” he said.

It is too early to say if drugs or alcohol were involved, Bettencourt said, and a toxicology report from the medical examiner’s office will take some time.

Investigators do not believe the Marines were involved in her death. As soon as she left, the service members told their commanding officer about Noelle and searched for her before they found out she died, according to Bettencourt.

The CHP is only investigating who was driving the vehicle that killed her. They are looking for a dark-colored Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town and Country van that may have the right mirror missing and/or right, front bumper damage.

“No parent should have to go through this, especially burying a young girl who is as beautiful as she is,” said Ripley.

He called his daughter a "young minded" but sweet and tender woman. Noelle was a former Sunday school teacher who most recently worked as a nanny to special needs children. She was planning on going back to college to finish her degree in the fall.

NBC 7 tried to reach out to one of the Marines who were with Noelle, but he declined to comment.

A young man was seriously injured early Wednesday morning after he slammed his car into a tree in Alpine, officials said.

The accident happened just before 4 a.m. in the 2700 block of South Grade Road, just south of Interstate 8. For unknown reasons, the driver lost control and veered off the road, plowing into a small ditch and part of a fence.

He then smashed into a large tree, where the vehicle finally came to a rest.

Firefighters had to break part of the fence in order to chip away at the wreckage. Crews were able to pull the driver from the vehicle and he was taken by helicopter to a hospital.

Alpine resident Mike Eldred lives next to the site of the crash and said the collision was extremely loud and woke him from his sleep.

When he went outside to investigate the commotion, Eldred said he saw the car wreck and couldn’t believe it. He immediately called 911, saying he thought the driver was dead.

The young man – possibly in his late teens – sustained very serious injuries, officials said.

The crash is under investigation. California Highway Patrol officials said they found open beer cans inside the car so they believe alcohol likely played a factor.

No other cars were involved in the crash.
 

When Jesse, an adorable mastiff mix puppy, was found lying in the woods last week, she could only crawl to her rescuers. But, less than three days later, she was able to take steps again with the help of a Long Island bulldog rescue.

The 3-month-old pup is being rehabbed by the New York Bully Crew after it was found abandoned near a blanket in a park, the rescue organization said on Facebook. Jesse was in terrible shape when she was found with an inhumanely hacked-off tail, and she couldn't stand on her legs or walk toward the people who found her, the group says.

The group said on Facebook that it quickly took the dog to veterinarians and neurologists to figure out why the pup couldn’t walk. They also posted a heart-rending video of the dog writhing on the ground as she attempted to move.

It appears that Jesse walked at some time because she knew how to move her legs in a walking motion. A blood test also found that there weren’t any diseases that could attack the pup’s nervous system and prevent her from walking. A neurologist is set to conduct tests on the dog later this week.

In the meantime, the rescue group has started physical therapy for the dog, posting video of her swiming in a small pool and sitting up straight. On Monday, Jesse took small steps with the help of a sling. 

There has already been an outpouring of support for Jesse, with dozens of people claiming to have donated to the New York Bully Crew to help pay for the pup’s care.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is changing its residency restrictions for sex offender parolees in response to a decision last month by the state Supreme Court.

The justices, and the department, said the requirement imposed by a 2006 ballot measure left too many offenders unable to find permanent homes. That greatly increased the number of transient offenders, making them more difficult to supervise. Parole agents monitor 6,000 sex offenders.

There were 1,448 transient sex offender parolees statewide as of Feb. 28, about half of whom are considered to be child molesters, according to the department. It released a breakdown of transient sex offender parolees for each county as of that date.

The ballot measure known as Jessica's Law required all sex offenders to live at least 2,000 feet from a school or park where children gather. The department will now use that standard only for offenders whose sex crimes involved children, in keeping with the high court's ruling.

Add a side of falafel for around $4 and be sure you grab plenty of tzatziki sauce.
 

The mother and sister of a former Connecticut National Guardsman who disappeared last weekend on a scuba diving trip in Thailand are flying out tomorrow night to search for their missing loved one.

Joshua Devine, 36, vanished Saturday morning from a tour boat bound for the Similan Islands. His wife, a native of Thailand, was also on board and took part in Tuesday's search efforts, according to a family spokesperson.

Devine, a Massachusetts native, grew up in Waterbury and Southington and enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school.

He was a member of the Connecticut National Guard from 2002 until 2006 and is currently based in Kuwait, where he works as a civilian on a U.S. military base, according to the Phuket Gazette.

Family members in Enfield said it was Devine's second time on the diving trip. Witnesses told the family he had been drinking prior to his disappearance and became aggressive and paranoid.

According to the family, two fellow divers brought Devine into a storage room April 11 to calm him down. They left him alone for 15 minutes, and when they returned, he was gone.

Devine's mother, Marie Major, and sister, Jennifer Bakowski, said the story doesn't add up. Both have denied that Devine, a master diver and scuba instructor, would drink before entering the water.

"This is not Josh, and it didn't happen from drinking because he doesn't drink before a dive," said Major.

But the events leading up to his disappearance are not the ones Devine's family is questioning. Bakowski said his fellow divers failed to report him missing for six hours, and Thai officials later called off the search in light of a national holiday.

After initial media reports and family fundraising efforts, the Thai Royal Navy renewed its search Tuesday, sending out a search boat and helicopter and questioning the five other divers on Devine's boat.

A family spokesperson said Devine's wife participated in Tuesday's search.

"She went up in a helicopter and by boat," spokesperson Alison Podworski wrote in an email to NBC Connecticut on Wednesday. "So far, they have not found any clues."

Bakowski and Major set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for a trip to Thailand. They plan to fly out Thursday night and will launch their own search Saturday, according to Podworksi.

"They hope to get answers from the authorities," she said.

Family members are spreading the word on Facebook about Devine's disappearance.

A small fire was burning on Wednesday morning at Camp Pendleton.

The fire was reported at 11 a.m. near Range 227 of Camp Pendleton. A quarter of an acre was burning at a slow rate of spread.

Firefighters said there were no injuries reported or any threat to any structures.

San Diego County is currently in a Red Flag Warning, as gusty and hot conditions are expected over the next couple days.

Fast-food restaurant employees, security guards and other low-wage workers conducted protests across San Diego Wednesday demanding better pay as part of global rallying efforts.

Strategically planned for Tax Day, the “Fight for $15” movement has workers across the nation fighting to have minimum wage increased to $15 an hour.

Locally, rallies and worker walk-outs were held at a McDonald’s on El Cajon Boulevard in North Park, outside Symphony Towers in downtown San Diego and at the Scripps Cottage Lawn at San Diego State University.

In front of the McDonald’s workers chanted: “Hold the burgers, hold the fries, make our wages Supersize.”

The movement includes workers participating in protests across more than 200 U.S. cities. They’re employed as fast-food workers, adjunct professors, home care workers, child care workers and janitorial workers, among others.

Workers say they want better wages so they don’t have to request government assistance just to get by. They also want an opportunity to form their own unions. The battle has been raging for the past two-and-a-half years.

NBC 7 reached out to fast-food restaurants Wednesday for comment on the rallies.

Bob Bertini, a spokesperson for Wendy’s, said this on behalf of the fast-food chain:

“We are proud of the opportunities that Wendy’s provides to thousands of Americans who work in our restaurants. We provide a place where people can enter the workforce and, through their initiative and abilities, advance into higher positions in our restaurants and beyond.”

Meanwhile, McDonald’s released the following statement:

"We respect people’s right to peacefully protest, and our restaurants remain open every day with the focus on providing an exceptional experience for our customers. Recently, McDonald’s USA announced a wage increase and paid time off for employees at its company-owned restaurants and expanded educational opportunities for eligible employees at all restaurants. This is an important and meaningful first step as we continue to look at opportunities that will make a difference for employees. It’s important to know approximately 90% of our U.S. restaurants are independently owned and operated by franchisees who set wages according to job level and local and federal laws. McDonald’s does not determine wages set by our more than 3,000 U.S. franchisees.”

On behalf of San Diego County McDonald's, spokesperson Price Adam released this statement:

"At McDonald’s, we offer part-time and full-time employment, benefits and set competitive wages based on the local marketplace, job level, as well as local and federal laws. As San Diego local McDonald’s owner-operators, we are committed to providing our employees with opportunities to succeed, and we have a long, proven history of providing advancement opportunities for those who want it. We respect people’s right to peacefully protest and we continue to focus on providing an exceptional experience for our customers. - The San Diego County McDonald's Owner/Operator Association."

Almost 15 years after his death, the family of Andrew Moore has not given up hope.

On April 25th, Moore would have celebrated his 41st birthday. But he was found murdered in his San Diego apartment nearly 15 years ago Wednesday, found bludgeoned to death in September of 2000.

His family now lives in Pennsylvania, but flew in to San Diego to help ask for the public’s help for information in the case, which has been cold for more than a decade now.

“That’s why we’re here; we’re here to ask you to help us find out who did this to Andy so that we know why they did it,” his mother said. “That won’t bring Andy back but perhaps that it will lay our hearts to rest, why it happened.”

His family gave out a memorial scholarship at City College, where Andy used to be a student.

“We've met an array of wonderful young people and we always go home to Pennsylvania thinking something positive is happening out of this,” his mother, Rita Moore, said.

Moore’s 26-year-old body was found in the bedroom of his Cortez Hill apartment on Ash and 8th streets. His Suzuki motorcycle was stolen and later found on the 1100 block of 24th street in Golden Hill.

At the time, Moore was working as a chef at a Gaslamp restaurant and was a full-time student at City College.

There is a $56,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case. Anyone with information should call the San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

A Southern California woman was arrested for willful cruelty to a child after she reportedly left her four-year-old daughter at home and went on a trip to San Diego, San Bernadino County sheriff's officials said.

On Monday, neighbors of 28-year-old Bing Chen reported hearing a child crying in the apartment complex on the 10900 block of Terra Vista Parkway in Rancho Cucamonga, a town in San Bernadino County, police said.

When the night manager checked the location, police said, he found a four-year-old female child in one of the apartments with no adult. The child told deputies that her mother was at work, then later said she thought her mother was sick and went home.

When deputies called the child’s father, who was overseas, he told them the mother was supposed to be there, taking care of the child.

Two hours later, Chen arrived back at the house.

Through an interpreter, she told deputies she went to San Diego with her friends and said it was okay to leave the child at home alone because she left food for the child and instructions on when to eat and go to bed.

The mother was taken to West Valley Detention Center for willful cruelty to a child, a felony. The child is with Child Protection Services.

Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department (909) 477-2800. Those wishing to remain anonymous may contact the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78CRIME (27463) or you may leave information on the We-Tip website at www.wetip.com.

A red flag warning will go into effect Wednesday night as warm temperatures and a Santa Ana wind event bring dry and gusty conditions across the county.

The red flag warning will be in place from 11 p.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday. A red flag warning means critical fire weather conditions are either happening now or will shortly. Any fires that develop may spread quickly, according to the National Weather Service.

A No Burn Proclamation was put in place Wednesday for the San Diego and Imperial Counties. 

A red flag warning means critical fire weather conditions are either happening now or will shortly. Any fires that develop may spread quickly, according to the National Weather Service.

Kenny Loggins was out for a walk Wednesday at Solana Beach — and then he suddenly found himself in the “Danger Zone!”

The musician — whose hit song was featured in a classic scene from “Top Gun" — happened to be at the beach near in Del Mar when a Marine helicopter made an unexpected landing on the beach.

Loggins, known for his popular songs of the 1970s and 1980s, posted a video on his Facebook page, saying: “I walked out there and said, ‘You’re in the ‘Danger Zone!’"

His Facebook post had amassed 300 shares and more than 1,000 likes just two hours after posting it.

An initiative aimed at building a football stadium in Carson, possibly to house the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, has qualified for the city ballot, backers of the proposal said Wednesday.

Members of Carson2gether delivered more than 15,000 petition signatures to the city last month, and the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office verified that enough of the signatures were valid. A total of 8,059 valid signatures were required to get the issue on the ballot.

The issue will now move to the Carson City Council, which will have the option of either placing the $1.7 billion proposal on the ballot or approving the stadium plan outright.

The Chargers and Raiders announced Feb. 19 they are working on a joint proposal to build a 72,000-seat stadium at Del Amo Boulevard and the San Diego (405) Freeway in Carson if they are unable to strike deals for new facilities in their respective cities.

Going through the initiative process allows the project to avoid lengthy and expensive environmental reviews.

A similar tactic was employed in Inglewood, where the City Council voted unanimously Feb. 24 to approve an initiative allowing for construction of an 80,000-seat stadium planned by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke at the former Hollywood Park racetrack site. Although Kroenke is behind the project, the Rams have not announced any intention of moving back to the Los Angeles area.

An NFL team has not played in the Los Angeles area since 1994, when the Raiders and Rams relocated.

One person is suffering major injuries after a truck overturned in front of a house, the California Highway Patrol said.

Active members of the U.S. Army National Guard were arrested in San Diego Wednesday after an alleged undercover operation caught them selling dozens of stolen firearms, rounds of ammunition in sealed crates and high-capacity magazines to purported members of a Mexican drug cartel, according to a federal complaint.

Jaime Casillas and Andrew Reyes, two active members of the National Guard, were allegedly caught after an eight month sting operation run by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the complaint said.

A spokesman for the National Guard said at least one of the men mentioned in the federal complaint is a member of the National Guard and are working to confirm if the other man is a member. The National Guard spokesman had no comment on the complaint. NBC 7 has a crew working on the story and will bring you updates on this story here. 

Over the course of seven different transactions, the complaint said, the men allegedly sold thousands of rounds of ammunition to men they believed would give the products to Mexican drug cartels.

The undercover agents purchasing the products told the men – who were in their uniforms for at least part of the sales process - that their weapons would be shipped to drug cartels in Mexico, the complaint said. During one transaction, the men allegedly showed up in their uniforms and collected $2,150 from the agent for an AR-15 rifle.

Throughout the sting, the men allegedly sold more than a dozen firearms to undercover officers in addition to selling stolen military ammunition to confidential informants. Among those weapons were four AR-15 rifles, an AK-47 assault rifle, a .40-caliber pistol and a 7.62 caliber SKS rifle, the complaint alleged.

Some of the items were issued by the military, according to the complaint, while others were purchased in Texas and then re-sold. Some of those weapons, the men allegedly told the undercover agents, were “hot,” meaning they had been used in a crime or were stolen. Reyes also told an agent that the so-called SAPI plates and ammunition magazines were from military inventory.

The complaint alleged the men sold more than 4,000 rounds of stolen military ammunition in sealed crates to the men in addition to 190 stolen high-capacity magazines still in their sealed packages from the Army. They also allegedly sold 24 military-grade body armor vests.

Reyes was taken into custody at his La Mesa home and Casillas was arrested during a traffic stop in El Cajon.

The men will appear in Federal Court Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mitchell Dembin for an arraignment. They face possible unlicensed firearms dealing charges and charges for unlawfully transporting firearms bought out of state.
