Every Intellegix briefing is generated from that day's broadcast and run through automated checks before it publishes — with a human paged on any flag. Here is the trail for this edition.
Thursday evening kicks off what amounts to one of the most event-dense weekends of the San Diego fall calendar. Tonight, the North Park Farmers Market runs from 3 to 7:30 p.m. on North Park Way between Granada and Ray Street. Lynyrd Skynyrd opens the Surfer's Point LIVE concert series at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at 6 p.m. The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park opens from 7 to 10 p.m.
The MCAS Miramar Air Show — one of the largest air shows in the country — runs Friday through Sunday, September 25th through 27th, at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Saturday brings the 15th annual San Diego International Dragon Boat Race at North Tecolote Shores in Mission Bay, beginning at 5 a.m. and running through 5:30 p.m. Also Saturday: Vista Cyclovia, reclaiming streets for pedestrians and cyclists in historic Vista Village from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the San Diego Bonsai Club Fall Show and Sale at Casa del Prado in Balboa Park, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday's Bonsai Show runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday also features the third annual Taste of College Area — a self-guided culinary tour at $40 per person from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. — and the 'World Day of Migrants and Refugees: All Are Sacred' walk beginning at Sixth Avenue and Laurel Street in Balboa Park at 2 p.m., with free admission.
Weather requires some planning. Downtown San Diego should see coastal clouds through midmorning Thursday, gradual clearing, and a high near 81 degrees with a west wind around 5 miles per hour in the afternoon. A warming trend continues into the weekend. A chance of monsoonal thunderstorms exists Thursday, driven by Gulf of Mexico moisture. More uncertainty arrives Sunday into Monday, when moisture potentially associated with Hurricane Polo — currently intensifying off Mexico's Pacific Coast — may push northward. The National Weather Service had posted no watches or warnings as of Thursday morning's briefing, but inland and mountain residents are advised to monitor conditions through the weekend.
