>>> AND BY THE CONRAD PURVIS FOUNDATION AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> KING TIDES ARE DUE TO ARRIVE ON THE SAN DIEGO COASTLINE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M JOHN CARROLL AND FOR MAYA TRABULSI.

THAT IS WHEN CHANGES IN OCEAN WATER LEVELS WILL BE AT THE GREATEST.

THOMAS FUDGE TELLS US THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND MISSION BAY.

>> THIS WEEKEND, THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL SEE HIGH TIDES ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF ABOVE NORMAL.

THESE KING TIDES OCCUR WHEN THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE OF THE MOON AND THE SUN ARE AT THEIR GREATEST PULLING OUR OCEANS TO EXTREMES.

OF COURSE THE EFFECT IS ALSO SEEN IN THE BAYS AND ESTUARIES.

>> I'M STANDING AT A BRIDGE OVER ROSE CREEK WHICH FLOWS INTO MISSION BAY BACK THERE.

THE HABITAT ALONG THE SHORE IS CALLED SORROW MARSH.

>> THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT WILL GET THE ATTENTION OF CERTAIN PEOPLE COMING OUT HERE SATURDAY MORNING TO OBSERVE THE KING TIDES.

FRIENDS OF ROSE CREEK SAID KING TIDES GIVE US OUR BEST LOOK AT THE REALITY OF RISING SEA LEVELS.

>> WITH THE COASTAL COMMISSION IS TELLING US IS THAT THE KING TIED IS APPROXIMATELY WHAT AN AVERAGE HIGH TIDE WILL BE BY 2050.

>> SO THE KING TIDES WE SEE SATURDAY WILL JUST BE A NORMAL HIGH TIDE WHEN HE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> PLACES LIKE MISSION BAY HIGH, WHICH IS RIGHT OVER HERE, ARE GOING TO BE AT HIGH FLOOD RISK.

ESPECIALLY IF THE HIGH TIDE COINCIDES WITH A LOT OF RAIN.

THEY WILL BE UNDERWATER.

>> THERE ARE NICE BIRDS AROUND HERE.

THESE HAVE LITTLE WHITE BEAKS AND BLACKHEADS.

THERE IS A WIDGON WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A DOG SQUEAKY TOY.

>> THE SAN DIEGO ADVOCATE FOR THE BIRD ALLIANCE SAYS WILDLIFE HABITAT CREATED BY COASTAL SALT MARTIANS AND RISING SEA LEVELS IN THE FUTURE WILL FORCE THOSE SALT MARTIANS TO MIGRATE INLAND BUT NOT OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT STANDS IN THEIR WAY .

>> THAT CAN MIGRATE OVER TIME AS SEA LEVELS RISE.

THERE WILL BE ARE SURE REMAINING AS WATER LEVELS RISE.

IF YOU HAVE LOWER MARSH AND MID- MARSH AND A PARKING LOT, THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THE MARSH TO GO.

SO IT WILL DISAPPEAR.

>> COASTAL CITIES ARE LOOKING AT WAYS FOR THE MAN-MADE ENVIRONMENT TO RETREAT FROM THE COAST AS OCEANS GET HIGHER.

STALLING SAYS WE HAVE TO ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

>> AS THE AREA HAS DEVELOPED AND THE PLAN MOVES FORWARD, THE CITY NEEDS TO THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHERE THE MARSH WILL MIGRATE OVER TIME SO THAT IT IS NOT AN ENTIRELY BAD THING AND THE HABITAT DOES NOT COMPLETELY THIS APPEAR.

OTHERWISE, IT WILL.

>> ON SATURDAY, THE FRIENDS OF ROSE CREEK AND THE SAN DIEGO BIRD ALLIANCE WILL HOST A GATHERING OF VOLUNTEERS THAT WILL TAKE PICTURES AT THE KING TIED LEVELS.

THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO COME AND THE INFORMATION THEY GATHER WILL BE SHARED WITH THE CALIFORNIA KING TIDES PROJECT.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>> COMING UP TONIGHT, RAIN AT TIMES.

CERTAINLY WET FOR YOUR NEW YEAR'S EVE FESTIVITIES.

AND MORE RAIN ON THE WAY FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY.

DO WE SEE A BREAK IN THE RAIN OR MORE RAIN RETURNING?

THOSE ANSWERS ARE COMING UP.

>>> A NEW STATE TAKES EFFECT TOMORROW TARGETING PEOPLE WHO PAY FOR SEX.

OUR KPBS REPORTER ANDREW DYER SAID CITY LEADERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE CALLING IT A GAME CHANGER.

>> THE NEW LAW MAKES IT A FELONY TO SOLICIT SEX FROM MINORS.

THE SAN DIEGO MAYOR AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY SPONSORED THE BILL.

AB379.

IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW THIS SUMMER BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM.

THE INTENT SAID GLORY IS TO SHIFT POLICE FOCUS TO THE MAN SIDE OF THE SEX TRADE.

>> WE HAVE FOCUSED ON THOSE BEING SOLD RATHER THAN THOSE DRIVING DEMAND.

THIS BILL REFLECTS A SIMPLE REALITY.

IF WE WANT TO REDUCE EXPLOITATION, WE MUST REDUCE DEMAND.

>> TO THAT, THIS MAKES NOT JUST THE SOLICITATION OF A MINOR A FELONY BUT LOITERING WITH THE INTENT TO BUY SEX ILLEGAL.

MANY ANYONE CIRCLING THE BLOCK AND A CAR LOOKING FOR A SEX WORKER IS SUBJECT TO ARREST.

SAN DIEGO POLICE CHIEF SCOTT WALL SAID OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE BILL WILL HELP FUND RECOVERY PROGRAMS FOR SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS.

>> WE SEE FAR TOO OFTEN YOUNG LADIES, REALLY JUVENILES, TEENAGERS, CAUGHT UP IN THE SEX TRAFFICKING TRADE.

OUR ABILITY TO INTERVENE AND GET THEM OUT OF A VERY TANGLED MESS OF A SITUATION HAS BEEN LIMITED.

>> THEY SAY ALMOST HALF OF THE 126 PEOPLE RECOVERED FROM TRAFFICKERS THIS YEAR IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY WERE MINORS.

PRIOR TO THIS BILL, IT WAS A MISDEMEANOR TO SOLICIT A SEX WORKER REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE.

>> ANYONE OUT THERE WHO THINKS THEY ARE GOING TO GET A CITATION OR A MISDEMEANOR FOR BUYING A 17-YEAR-OLD OR A 16- YEAR-OLD, A 15-YEAR-OLD, THINK AGAIN.

GET IT THROUGH YOUR SCHOOL THAT YOU WILL FACE A FELONY CHARGE.

>> GLORIA SAID THANKS TO THE BILL, THE DAYS OF OPEN SEX MARKETS IN THE STATE ARE COMING TO AN END.

ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AND THE LA MESA PARKING METER RATES WILL DOUBLE TOMORROW WHEN THE CALENDAR TURNS TO 2026.

OUR KPBS REPORTER, ELAINE EL FARO, SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS CHANGED IN TWO DECADES.

>> I KNOW THAT $1.50 IS NOT MUCH MORE THAN 75 CENTS, BUT IF IT IS THAT OF DOUBLING THE PRICE, WHEN DOES IT STOP?

>> HE PAID THE METER FOR SHOPPING BUT IS WORRIED ABOUT RISING ARCING COSTS ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

>> I FEEL LIKE IN A LOT OF PLACES, IT COSTS THE SAME AMOUNT TO PARK AS IT DOES TO GET WHATEVER MEAL OR COFFEE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET.

>> THE MAYOR SAYS THE RATE INCREASE IS NEEDED TO COVER THE COST OF MAINTAINING AND UPGRADING.

>> WE UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO RAISE THE RATES.

MOSTLY BECAUSE ALL THE COSTS HAVE GONE UP AND TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED AND WE WANT TO KEEP UP WITH THAT.

>> BRITTANY FOX IS A -- CO-OWNER OF A SMALL DOWNTOWN GIFT SHOP AND IS UNFAZED BY THE INCREASE.

>> THE PARKING IS ALREADY SO EXPENSIVE SO I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE THE BIG OF A DEAL.

A LITTLE INCREASE.

IT IS STILL WAY LESS THAN MOST PLACES IN THE AREA.

>> THE LA MESA PARKING COMMISSION ESTIMATES THE RATE WILL GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $270,000 IN PARKING REVENUE PER YEAR.

KPBS NEWS.

>> I WOULD SAY 4.9, OUT OF FIVE STARS WITH THE STIPULATION THAT WE COULD HAVE MORE BEGIN FOOD IN ARE.

>> I THINK THE BIG THING FOR ME WAS HOW COOL IT WAS TO SEE SO MANY STUDENTS INTERESTED IN LONGFORM STORYTELLING.

>> I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL OBLIGATED TO BE THERE.

AT THE END OF THE TALK, THEY ALL AHEAD QUESTIONS AND I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE ALL WORKING ON THAT FOCUS.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY THERE BECAUSE THEY CARED.

>> WE WENT TO CENTRAL UNION HIGH SCHOOL TO MEET THE STUDENTS THAT CREATED THE VOICES.

>> IT IS AMAZING HOW TALENTED SOME OF THE MORE.

JUST BEING ABLE TO ENCOURAGE THAT AND WATER THE PLANTS AND HELP THEM REALIZE THE POWER THEY HAVE IN THEIR VOICES AND IN THEIR STORYTELLING WAS REALLY COOL.

YOU CAN FIND THE PODCAST WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS.

WITH MORE CROSS-BORDER STORIES COMING IN THE YEAR AHEAD.

>>> IT IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPOTS IN SAN DIEGO.

IT OFFERS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW AT THE END OF A MODERATE CLIMB.

BUT DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS WELL-TRAVELED DIRT PATH?

K CAP N KRAMER SHOWS US IN THIS STORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> OCTOBER 1984, NOTICE THIS PLAQUE BEING DEDICATED BECAUSE WE WILL COME BACK TO IT.

IT RECOGNIZES THIS MOUNTAIN AS BEING THE HIGHEST ONE IN SAN DIEGO.

1591 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND VERY-WILL.

♪ ♪ [ SINGING ] ♪ ♪ OF ALL OUR ROCKY TRAILS AND DIRT PATHS, THIS PARTICULAR ONE OFFERS A TIMELESS INVITATION.

COME SEE WHERE THIS LEADS.

HOW MANY SAN DIEGANS HAVE TAKEN THAT TO HEART, TESTING THEMSELVES PHYSICALLY, HIKING UP HERE AND MAYBE NOT KNOWING ITS HISTORY.

KUMIA MARKETS SHADOWS AND CELEBRATED THE WINTER SOLSTICE HERE MANY YEARS BEFORE ANY AMERICAN SAILOR CAME AND CLIMBED IT AND HAVE THOUGHT TO HAVE NAMED IT S MOUNTAIN.

STUDENTS RUSHED CLAIMING IT WAS THEIR OWN FROM THE EARLY 1930s THROUGH THE 1960s 1960s.

EVERY YEAR, IN A RITUAL OF, THEY TOO CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN WITH SACKS OF LIME AND SPELL OUT THE LETTERS FOR STATE.

THE STATE COLLEGE, ON CLEAR DAYS, VISIBLE TO THE SEA.

TODAY, NATURE HAS OVERGROWN THE SCAR.

BUT THE HIKING IS THE THING.

THE AIR, SOMETIMES WARMED BY THE INVERSION LAYER AND THE TRAFFIC NOISE LOW SLOWLY STARTS TO FADE AND YOU FIND YOURSELF ABOVE THE CITY THAT IS YOUR HOME.

WITH PEOPLE WHO MAY THE NEIGHBORS OR STRANGERS BUT ALL HAVE COME HERE AND ALL ARE WALKING HERE, ALL EXPERIENCING THAT FAMILIAR COMBINATION OF THE PHYSICAL WORKOUT OF THE BODY IN THE ESCAPE OF NATURE.

THERE IS THE MATTER OF WHAT THE MOUNTAIN IS CALLED TODAY.

IT IS WORTH A MINUTE BECAUSE MR.

COLES DESERVES THAT.

IN 1887, GEORGE COLES OWNED ABOUT 4000 ACRES OF THE ALCOHOL VALLEY WHERE HE PLANTED A WONDERFUL VARIETY OF FRUITS, OLIVES AND GRAINS AND ALSO RAISED THOROUGHBRED HORSES AND POLO PONIES AND TIRELESSLY WORKED TO CREATE AND BUILD HIS LITTLE COMMUNITY CALLED, COLES TOWN.

AND THEN HE DIED.

THE STORY IS THAT HE WORKED SO HARD ON COLESTOWN, THAT IT KILLED HIM AT AGE 51.

HIS WIDOW MARRIED A MAN NAMED MILTON SENTI, SO EVERYTHING IN COLESTOWN GOT CHANGED TO SANTI EXCEPT FOR THE MOUNTAIN WHICH RIGHTLY OUGHT TO BE CALLED COLES MOUNTAIN.

TO PEOPLE HERE SOMETIMES THINK OF HIM OR OF THE S OR OF THE KUMIA FOR WHICH THIS MOUNTAIN HOLDS A PLACE OF HONOR?

♪ ♪ [ SINGING ] ♪ ♪ IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOST TO DEVELOPMENT BUT VOTERS APPROVED A MEASURE THAT PROVIDED THE MONEY FOR OPEN SPACE AND THE CITY BOUGHT IT ON A NEW YEAR'S EVE MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO AND SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THAT, DEDICATED THAT PLAQUE AND CARRIED IT UP HERE TO THE VERY TOP OF COLES MOUNTAIN, THANK YOU.

CROWDED?

SURE.

SOMETIMES.

BUT IT IS A PLACE OF NATURE IN OUR CITY LIMITS.

A ROCKY TRAIL AND A PARTICULAR DIRT PATH THAT HAS BECOME SOMETHING RIGHTLY TREASURED ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF THESE STORIES ABOUT SAN DIEGO, JUST BE WATCHING FOR A HALF- HOUR OF THEM EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 RIGHT HERE ON KPBS .

>>> FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS, IT STOOD IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO TELLING PASSERSBY THE CORRECT TIME OF DAY.

BUT IN 2018, THE ICONIC JESSUP'S CLOCK WAS PUT INTO STORAGE.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I LEARNED ABOUT AN EFFORT TO PUT THE CLOCK BACK INTO SERVICE.

>> THE YEAR WAS 1907.

JOSEPH JESSUP HAD RELOCATED HIS FAMILY FROM ENGLAND TO SAN DIEGO.

HE OPENED A JEWELRY STORE DOWNTOWN ON FIFTH STREET WHICH IS NOW THE ELMA HOTEL.

HE BUILT THIS CLOCK TO ADVERTISE HIS NEW STORE AND TO, AS IT PROUDLY PROCLAIMED ON ITS FACE, TELL SAN DIEGANS THE CORRECT TIME OF DAY.

THERE, IT STOOD FOR ALMOST THE NEXT 80 YEARS.

>> THAT WAS, UNTIL 1985 WHEN JESSUP'S JEWELERS AND THE CLOCK MOVED.

BUT NOT FAR.

JUST OVER TO WHAT WAS THEN THE BRAND-NEW HORTON PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER.

IT STAYED HERE UNTIL 2018.

>> AFTER BEING VANDALIZED SEVERAL TIMES, THE CLOCK WAS PACKED UP AND MOVED TO THE SAN DIEGO HISTORY CENTER.

>> THE HISTORY CENTER IS THE PERFECT LOCATION.

>> THAT IS JIM JUST OF -- JESSUP.

OWNERSHIP OF THE CLOCK IS SHARED BY HIM AND SEVERAL OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS BUT HE IS IN CHARGE OF IT AND ITS FUTURE.

>> BEHIND THE DOOR, YOU WILL SEE THE CLOCK.

>> WOW.

>> I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SHOWN THE CLOCK SINCE IT WAS CREATED IN 2018.

>> WHEN IT WAS DISMANTLED, THE CLOCK WAS PACKED UP AND SEVERAL BOXES.

THIS IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE REMEMBER, ONE OF THREE FACES OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATION AND IT IS ACTUALLY NOT A CLOCK, PER SE.

>> THE JESSUP CLOCK IS MADE LIKE A GIANT POCKET WATCH.

>> THAT IS BECAUSE JOSEPH JESSUP WAS, FIRST AND FOREMOST, A MAKER OF POCKET WATCHES.

>> THERE IS NO OTHER CLOCK IN THE WORLD LIKE THE JESSUP CLOCK.

AND SO HE MADE IT THE WAY HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE IT.

HE ESTIMATED ALL THE GEAR RATIOS THAT WOULD TURN THE 22 HANDS OF THE CLOCK.

AND IT KEPT GOOD TIME FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

>> THE CLOCK IS A MARVEL OF ENGINEERING.

ONE DAY, JIM JESSUP WAS TALKING TO A CLOCKMAKER AND HE ASKED, HOW AN THE DAYS BEFORE SLIDE RULES MUCH LESS DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, HIS GREAT GRAND FATHER DID IT.

>> I JUST DON'T KNOW.

BUT IT TOOK REAL MAGIC FOR HIM TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

>> IN ADDITION TO SAN DIEGO, THE CLOCK SHOWED THE TIME WERE 12 OTHER GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD.

PLACES LIKE NEW YORK, LONDON, PARIS, BERLIN, MEXICO CITY, AND KOLKATA.

AND WHEN IT CAME TO KOLKATA, THE ELDER JESSUP HAD TO GET CREATIVE.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME YEARS LATER MEANT EXTRA TIME.

>> HE BUILT ALL THE RATIOS INTO THE SETTING OF THE CLOCK AND THE HANDS.

SO THAT IT WOULD ADJUST A HALF-HOUR FOR KOLKATA.

>>> AS FAR AS THE CLOCK KEEPING THE CORRECT TIME, JESSUP SAID THERE IS A FUNNY STORY ABOUT THAT WHICH INVOLVES THE SANTA FE DEPOT JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY .

>> MIGRATE UNCLE, JOE JESSUP, WAS TALKING TO A FELLOW THAT RAN THE TRAIN.

THE TRAIN STATION SEVERAL BLOCKS FROM THE STORE.

AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS, WE SET THE CLOCK CLOCK.

AND THE GUY LAUGHED AND SAID, YOU KNOW, WE COME BY THE CLOCK AND SET THE TRAIN WHISTLE.

AND SO THERE WERE TWO WAYS TO TELL TIME DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO AND THE JESSUP CLOCK WAS ONLY ONE OF THEM.

>> SO MANY STORIES.

SO MUCH HISTORY.

NOW JIM JESSUP HAS HIS SIGHTS SET ON THE CLOCK'S FUTURE.

THE FAMILY, AND COORDINATION WITH THE HISTORY CENTER, IS IN THE PROCESS OF RAISING MONEY, TO RESTORE THE CLOCK AND BRING IT TO A FINAL, FITTING PLACE.

THEY NEED $2 MILLION TO DO THAT AND TO PLACE IT HERE.

THE ARTIST RENDERINGS SHOW WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IN A REDESIGNED HISTORY CENTER GALLERY.

AND THEN THEY NEED $2 MILLION MORE TO ENDOW THE CLOCK.

>> SO THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF FOREVER.

SO WHEN SAN DIEGANS COME TO SEE THE CLOCK, THEY WILL BE SEEING SOMETHING THAT IS JUST LIKE IT WAS ON THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT FOREVER MORE.

>> JESSUP SAID THEY NEED ALL OF THAT TO HAPPEN BY 2028, A TIME WHEN THE CLOCK WILL BEGIN ITS FINAL CHAPTER AND ALL OF US CAN ENJOY IT FOR TIME IN MEMORIAL.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

KIND OF A MISERABLE WAY TO WRAP UP 2025 AND HEAD INTO THE NEW YEAR AS WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE HEAVIEST RAIN TONIGHT THROUGH OUR THURSDAY MORNING.

THERE WILL BE A SHORT PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER TO START FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT STORM ARRIVES AND THEN SHOWERS MIGHT BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

HOW MUCH RAIN WILL WE END UP WITH?

AROUND SAN DIEGO, IT IS 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN.

AND THAT IS TRUE UP TO LA.

ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS, 2-4 INCHES OF RAINFALL.

SO FLOODING CONCERNS DO RETURN.

THAT IS WHY YOU CAN SEE FLOOD WATCHES POSTED.

THAT IS NORTH OF THE AREA.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AROUND LA, THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE THE FLOODING CONCERNS.

LOOK AT THE FUTURE RADAR AND SATELLITE.

ROUNDS OF RAIN CONTINUE.

THE HEAVIEST THROUGH TONIGHT.

CONTINUING TO WATCH THE HEAVY RAIN EVEN THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING.

AND THEN THERE IS A BRIEF DRY PERIOD AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY FRIDAY.

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE COMPLETELY DRY.

THERE WILL BE SHOWERS AROUND.

BUT NOT THE SOAKING RAIN HERE.

HEADING FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND, WE ARE WATCHING THE NEXT STORM START TO BRING RETURN OF LOCALIZED FLOODING AND TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA.

YOU CAN SEE THE RAINY ICONS FOR THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEW YEAR.

SAN DIEGO, 66 WITH MORE RAIN.

AND THEN ANOTHER STORM HERE WHICH WILL BRING US THE RETURN OF SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WEEKEND.

THOSE COULD LINGER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

A YUCKY FORECAST ACROSS THE COAST.

CLOUDS AND RAIN SHOWERS.

SUNSHINE BY MONDAY.

AND WE SEE A SIMILAR PICTURE HERE OF SHOWERS ON THURSDAY.

KEEPING CLOUDS AROUND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BEFORE WE SEE SOME BRIGHTENING BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE MOUNTAIN FORECAST IS WET AND DREARY THROUGH SATURDAY.

WE START TO SEE INCREASING SUN MONDAY.

THE DESERT GETS IN ON THE SHOWERS AND CLOUDS BEFORE THE SUN RETURNS NEXT WEEK.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M ARRIOLA SCALISE.

>>> TWO CARLSBAD BROTHERS WILL BE MARCHING IN THE TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE TOMORROW.

WE FIND OUT THEY ARE PART OF THE BANDS OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL HONOR BAND COMPOSED OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

♪ ♪.

>> MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LARGE PART OF THE PARKER BROTHER'S LIVES.

>> THIS NEW YEAR, 17-YEAR-OLD SAM AND 15-YEAR-OLD TORI PARKER WILL BE PART OF THE BANDS OF AMERICAN NATIONAL HONOR PARADE AT THE ROSES PARADE.

>> SAM WAS THE FIRST TO BE ACCEPTED INTO THE HONOR BAND WHILE HIS BROTHER WAS LATER.

IT WAS NOT UNTIL LATER THAT TORI FOUND OUT HE WOULD BE PART OF THE BAND TOO.

THAT DID SPARK A BIT OF SIBLING RIVALRY.

>> I LIKE PRETENDING I'M BETTER THAN HIM.

AND HE ALSO IS EXCITED TO HAVE HIS OWN THING.

I DID FEEL A LITTLE BAD.

>> FOR SAM, THE ROSE PARADE IS THE CULMINATION OF HIS HIGH SCHOOL BANNED CAREER.

FOR TORI, IT IS THE LAST CHANCE TO PLAY TOGETHER WITH HIS BROTHER IN THE MARCHING BAND.

>> TO BE PART OF THE HONOR BAND, YOU NEED A RECOMMENDATION LETTER FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR.

>> THEY HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ALL-STARS IN THEIR TIME HERE WITH ME.

>> THIS IS THE BAND DIRECTOR AT LACOSTE A HIGH SCHOOL.

HE SAID THAT THE BROTHERS ARE HIGH ACHIEVERS AND GREAT MUSICIANS AND HE WAS HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THEM.

>> WE SAID, WE WILL AUDITION AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE ROSE BOWL BAND.

I SAID GREAT.

I HAVE DONE IT A FEW TIMES MYSELF WHEN I WAS IN THE MARINE CORPS.

I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

>> THE HONOR BAND IS A 300 PIECE ENSEMBLE OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICIANS AND COLORGUARD FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

COMPOSER AND DIRECTORS SAY THAT THE GOAL IS TO SHOWCASE STUDENTS AND MAKE THEM BETTER MUSICIANS.

>> THE LEADERSHIP PART IS VERY IMPORTANT ALSO.

TO LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE YOU HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE.

TO WORK TOGETHER WITH PEOPLE YOU HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE WITHIN THREE OR FOUR DAYS AND DO A MAJOR PERFORMANCE ON TV.

>> THE PARKER BROTHERS ARE COUNTING ON THE SIBLEY RIVALRY TO PUSH EACH OTHER TO BE BETTER MUSICIANS.

>> PART OF THE REASON I AM IN THE PARADE AND THAT TORI IS IN THE PARADE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE EACH OTHER AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY PUSHING EACH OTHER TO LAY BETTER AND FASTER AND HARDER OR SOFTER OR NICER.

>> WHICH PAIRS WELL WITH THE MAGIC OF TEAMWORK.

THE ROSE PARADE STEP OFF AT 8:00 A.M.

TOMORROW.
