The Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through 8 p.m. Friday for inland valleys and mountains, with Thursday and Friday afternoon expected to remain dangerous for anyone working or exercising outdoors in those communities. Coastal areas have been more comfortable throughout the event, with the marine layer providing overnight and morning relief. Temperatures are expected to begin moderating over the weekend, returning closer to seasonal norms.
The San Diego Blood Bank and SDCCU are hosting a blood drive at the SDCCU branch at 286 Town Center Parkway in Santee from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1. Organizers are citing extremely low blood inventory — a perennial concern heading into Labor Day weekend, when trauma-care demand tends to spike and regular donation activity drops as people travel. Donors will receive a SeaWorld Howl-O-Scream ticket while supplies last.
In El Cajon, a public workshop is planned for late September on potential redevelopment near Parkway Plaza, including a former Walmart space that has been vacant for nearly three years. Mayor Bill Wells has confirmed negotiations with three investors exploring a mix of retail, restaurants, entertainment, and housing, with rezoning already underway. No tenant plan has been finalized, but the late-September workshop will offer community members an opportunity to weigh in before plans solidify.
