San Diego Gas & Electric began turning off power in San Diego County’s backcountry Monday to minimize that chances that sparks from its power lines could trigger a wildfire in the midst of deepening drought and powerful Santa Ana winds.
Through 1:45 p.m., 932 customers had lost power, and another 82,693 were on notice that the same could happen to them. The first outages occurred in Boulevard, Descanso, Campo and Warner Springs. (Here are outage updates.)
At roughly the same time, firefighters were attacking a 2-acre wildfire in Poway near the intersection of Ted Williams Parkway and Pomerado Road, authorities said.
Forecasters say that cold Santa Anas winds have started to arrive in the eastern mountains and foothills in what could turn out to be the worst storm of the winter locally.
“Santa Ana winds with gusts of 40-60 mph will develop across mountains and foothills (with) locally higher gusts of 60-80 mph plus across the usual wind-prone locations …,” the weather service said in a statement. “Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will develop by this afternoon and continue through Tuesday evening.
“A second, weaker Santa Ana event is expected on Thursday and Friday. There is a chance of precipitation next Saturday through Monday.”
As of 1:30 p.m. Monday, the wind had gusted to 50 mph at Hauser Mountain south of Interstate 8 near Campo, 48 mph at Sill Hill in the Cuyamaca Mountains, 37 mph of East Willows Road along I-8, 37 mph at Moreno Dam, 36 mph at Sunshine Summit, 33 mph at Camp Pendleton, 30 mph near Julian, 26 mph at Otay Mountain and 25 mph at Ramona. Forecasters say the winds have made it all the way to the coast in Del Mar, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
Forecasters said the third major windstorm this month could cause widespread tree damage and make driving in the local mountains difficult, especially along I-8, state Route 76 and state Route 78, and the county’s northwest stretches of Interstate 15.
Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will develop by this afternoonand continue through Tuesday evening. A second, weaker Santa Anaevent is expected on Thursday and Friday. There is a chance ofprecipitation next Saturday through Monday.
A red flag fire weather warning is in effect from 8 a.m. Monday to 10 p.m. Tuesday for areas east of Interstate 15. Forecasters and first responders are concerned that flash fires in the backcountry could spread west toward more populated areas.
San Diego International Airport has recorded only 0.14 inches of precipitation since Oct. 1, when the rainy season began. That’s 4.11 inches below normal. The city is experiencing the driest rainy season since 1850.
The utility has stationed staffers in canyons and on peaks to watch for trouble. It also will closely monitor the 134 live wildfire cameras that UC San Diego’s AlertCalifornia network is operating across the county.

Get ready, San Diego County! The strongest Santa Ana winds of the winter season are expected to hit Monday night, bringing potentially dangerous conditions to the region.
According to the National Weather Service, wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph in some areas, leading to the possibility of downed trees, power outages, and difficult driving conditions. Residents are advised to secure loose outdoor items, avoid parking near trees or power lines, and drive with caution.
The Santa Ana winds are known for their dry and warm nature, which can increase the risk of wildfires. With the recent dry spell in Southern California, the threat of wildfires is especially high during this wind event.
Stay informed by checking local weather updates and be prepared for possible disruptions to your daily routine. Stay safe, San Diego County, and brace yourselves for the strongest Santa Ana winds of the season.

Earlier today, fire crews in San Diego County successfully extinguished two small fires, preventing any major damage or injuries.
The first fire broke out in the early hours of the morning near a residential area in the eastern part of the county. Thanks to the quick response of firefighters, the blaze was contained before it could spread to any homes or structures.
Shortly after, a second fire was reported in a remote area of the county, posing a potential threat to nearby wildlife and vegetation. Crews worked tirelessly to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further, ultimately successfully extinguishing the flames.

The Biden-Harris Administration announced Wednesday that student loans will be discharged for over 260,000 former students of San Diego-based online school Ashford University and its parent company after courts ruled the school gave misleading statements to prospective students.
The announcement comes nearly three years after a San Diego judge ordered more than $22 million in penalties against Ashford and parent company Zovio Inc. for giving students, “false or misleading information about career outcomes, cost and financial aid, pace of degree programs, and transfer credits, in order to entice them to enroll at Ashford.”
A three-justice panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal later reduced the penalty by $1 million, but otherwise upheld the ruling from San Diego Superior Court Judge Eddie Sturgeon.
Those penalties stemmed from a lawsuit brought by the California Department of Justice that alleged Ashford recruiters lied to students, who typically left the school in debt and with degrees of little value in the job market.
“Numerous federal and state investigations have documented the deceptive recruiting tactics frequently used by Ashford University,” U.S. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal said in a statement. “In reality, 90 percent of Ashford students never graduated, and the few who did were often left with large debts and low incomes.”
Ashford borrowers approved for a discharge will receive emails from the Department of Education “in the coming days.” The email will notify borrowers of the full amount of loans to be discharged, according to the Department of Education, which said no further action is needed to receive relief, no additional payments on those loans will need to be made, and borrowers will receive discharges even if they did not submit a borrower defense to repayment application.
The latest debt discharge pertains to 261,000 borrowers who attended Ashford between March 2009 and April 30, 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Education. In 2023, the Biden administration announced that $72 million in student loans for around 2,300 borrowers who enrolled in Ashford University would be wiped out.
In a statement praising the debt relief, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said, “I commend the Biden Administration and the Department of Education for making sure that students who were scammed into trusting in Ashford have the opportunity for a brighter future they always deserved.”
In a separate but related announcement, the Department of Education said it has proposed the debarment of Zovio’s CEO, founder and president, Andrew Clark, which would mean he would be prohibited from acting as a principal or executive of any institution in connection with the Title IV loan program, which allows schools to distribute federal student aid.
The debarment matter will be referred to the Department of Education’s Office of Hearings and Appeals for a final decision on whether to debar Clark and for how long.
“Mr. Clark not only supervised the unlawful conduct, he personally participated in it, driving some of the worst aspects of the boiler-room-style recruiting culture,” the Department of Education said in a statement.
The school has since been acquired by the University of Arizona and turned into the University of Arizona Global Campus.
Debt discharged for 260,000 former San Diego-based Ashford University students – NBC 7 San Diego
In a groundbreaking move, the debts of over 260,000 former students of San Diego-based Ashford University have been discharged. This decision comes after the university was accused of engaging in deceptive practices and misleading students about the value of its education.
The Department of Education announced that it would be cancelling $1.1 billion in federal student loans for these former students, providing relief to those who were burdened with debt from their time at Ashford University.
This news comes as a huge victory for the students who were misled by the university and left with significant financial hardship. Many of these students had taken out loans to pay for their education, only to find that their degrees were not as valuable as they had been led to believe.
The Department of Education’s decision to discharge this debt is a step in the right direction towards holding for-profit colleges accountable for their actions. It serves as a reminder that students deserve transparency and honesty when making decisions about their education.
For the former students of Ashford University, this debt discharge is a welcome relief and a chance to move forward without the burden of student loans hanging over their heads. This decision will undoubtedly have a positive impact on their financial futures and provide them with the fresh start they deserve.

THIS WEEK IN MXA WITH JOSH MOSIMAN: ANAHEIM 1 RECAP & SAN DIEGO SUPERCROSS PREVIEW
Hey MXA fans, it’s Josh Mosiman here with your weekly update on all things Supercross. Let’s dive right into the action from Anaheim 1 and take a look ahead to the upcoming San Diego Supercross.
Anaheim 1 kicked off the 2022 Monster Energy Supercross season with a bang. The racing was intense, with defending champion Eli Tomac showing why he’s the man to beat once again. Tomac took the win in the 450SX class, putting him in a strong position early in the season.
In the 250SX class, it was Jett Lawrence who stole the show with a dominant performance. Lawrence, who is one of the most exciting young riders in the sport, showed why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the 250 class.
Looking ahead to this weekend’s San Diego Supercross, all eyes will be on Tomac as he aims to continue his winning ways and extend his lead in the championship standings. However, he’ll face stiff competition from the likes of Ken Roczen, Cooper Webb, and Jason Anderson, who are all hungry for victory.
In the 250 class, Lawrence will be looking to build on his success from Anaheim 1 and prove that he’s a serious title contender. But he’ll need to watch out for challengers like Austin Forkner, Justin Cooper, and Hunter Lawrence, who will be looking to take the top spot on the podium.
Overall, the San Diego Supercross promises to be another thrilling night of racing, so be sure to tune in and catch all the action as it unfolds. And stay tuned for more updates from MXA with Josh Mosiman as we continue to cover all the latest news and highlights from the world of Supercross.

UNLV has overcome an early deficit to take the lead back in this one. They have jumped out to a quick 31-23 lead against San Diego State.
UNLV came into the matchup with some extra motivation after the defeat they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We’ll see if they’re able to flip the script or if it’ll just be more of the same.
UNLV Rebels @ San Diego State Aztecs
Current Records: UNLV 10-7, San Diego State 11-4
San Diego State is 8-2 against UNLV since January of 2020, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. Both will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8:00 p.m. ET at Viejas Arena. The Aztecs’ defense has only allowed 61.8 points per game this season, so the Rebels’ offense will have their work cut out for them.
San Diego State took a loss when they played away from home on Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday. They strolled past Colo. State with points to spare, taking the game 75-60.
San Diego State can attribute much of their success to Miles Byrd, who went 8 for 15 en route to 25 points plus seven steals and six rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Byrd a new career-high in threes (five).
Meanwhile, UNLV hadn’t done well against Utah State recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), but they didn’t let the past get in their way on Wednesday. UNLV had just enough and edged Utah State out 65-62. For those keeping track at home, that’s the closest win the Rebels have posted since February 14, 2024.
Jalen Hill was the offensive standout of the match as he went 7 for 9 en route to 15 points plus eight rebounds. Julian Rishwain was another key player, earning 13 points in addition to two steals.
San Diego State has been performing well recently as they’ve won eight of their last ten matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. As for UNLV, their victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-7.
Saturday’s game is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: San Diego State has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.9 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for UNLV, though, as they’ve been averaging only 32.4. Given San Diego State’s sizable advantage in that area, UNLV will need to find a way to close that gap.
Looking ahead, San Diego State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 10.5 points. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: San Diego State is playing at home, but their 2-5 record against the spread as such isn’t exactly encouraging.
San Diego State is a big 10.5-point favorite against UNLV, according to the latest college basketball odds.
The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Aztecs as a 10-point favorite.
The over/under is 131.5 points.

When: 5 p.m., Saturday
Where: Viejas Arena
On the air: CBSSN; 760-AM
Records: SDSU 11-4, 4-2 MW; UNLV 10-7, 4-2
Series history: SDSU leads 44-38 and has won 23 of the last 26. UNLV, however, won the most recent regular-season meeting, 62-58 in Las Vegas last March. Nine days later, the Aztecs won 74-71 in overtime in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West tournament.
Aztecs update: They put their 67-game win streak in Quad 3 or lower games on the line against the last school to beat them in one: UNLV in 2020 at Viejas Arena after SDSU had opened the season 26-0. The Aztecs remain solidly in the NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi, who has them as a 9 seed. Utah State and New Mexico are the only other Mountain West teams in his bracket (although the Lobos have slipped to one of the last teams in). Rebounding has been an issue all season, but UNLV is statistically even worse. The Aztecs rank 214th nationally in keeping opponents off the offensive boards; the Rebels are 322nd. Since 2013-14, SDSU leads the Mountain West with an .874 winning percentage (90-13) in home conference games. Boise State is second at .788 (82-22). Utah State and Nevada are the only other programs above .700. Senior guard Reese Waters, out all season with a stress fracture in his foot, has his next bone scan scheduled for Monday. The Kenpom metric projects a 71-59 Aztecs win. All fans entering Viejas Arena will receive a Brian Dutcher bobblehead. In addition, it is the annual ALS Awareness Game, with fans raising placards during a timeout to honor, remember and advocate for those afflicted with ALS.
Rebels update: They were 9-0 against teams outside the top 100 of the major metrics and 0-7 against teams inside it until Wednesday’s 65-62 home win against Utah State, which is No. 22 in the Associated Press poll. Last year, they had a similar big home win in January (against New Mexico) that untracked an underperforming season and they went on a 10-1 run, their best 11-game conference stretch since 1992. That got them into the NIT and they won their first postseason game in 16 years, reaching the quarterfinals. This team, like the last few editions under fourth-year coach Kevin Kruger, is filled with transfers. Only one starter is back: point guard Dedan Thomas Jr. (15.6 points, 4.5 assists). Another starter returned in forward Rob Whaley Jr., but he’s been injured for all but two games and is expected to take a medical redshirt. Also back is guard Jalen Hill, who tore knee ligaments in last year’s game at Viejas Arena, a 72-61 Aztecs win on Jan. 6. The Oklahoma transfer had his best game of the season in the Utah State win with 15 points (7 of 9 shooting) and eight rebounds. Jeremiah “Bear” Cherry, a 6-11, 280-pound San Diego native who spent two seasons at a JC in New Mexico, is averaging 9.2 points and 5.5 rebounds. The Rebels rank second in the Mountain West in 3-point accuracy at 37.1%. They’re 102nd in Kenpom, 109th in the NET.
Next up: Wednesday at Air Force (7 p.m. PST, CBSSN)

Round 1 of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season had plenty of surprises and as the series heads south on I5, some questions will be answered. Jett Lawrence should quickly rebound into winning form, but will the opening-round success of Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb (fourth), and Eli Tomac (fifth) carry into the second race?
In the 250 division, Haiden Deegan was disappointed when the rider many considered would be his principal rival, Levi Kitchen, switched coasts at the last minute. Jo Shimoda emerged to fill that position, but he will need to stand on the podium again this week to be seriously considered as a title contender.
The season is early, but one 450 rider and three 250 riders are already on the injured list. Christian Craig is still recovering from off-season knee surgery, but hopes to be back in time for Tampa. In 250s, Evan Ferry (Achilles), Derek Drake (illness), and Robbie Wageman (wrist).
450s
Chase Sexton jumped to the top of the board at the end of the session by 0.085 seconds over Eli Tomac. Both riders got loose in a corner or might been even faster.
Jett Lawrence is a mere 0.002 seconds slower than Tomac with the third fastest time.
Cooper Webb improved from his sixth-fastest lap in practice to land fourth on the charts, while Malcolm Stewart remained in the top five.
Spanish native Jorge Prado ends the session just outside the top five in sixth.

250s
Ty Masterpool (55.863) won’t be in Group B long after making the switch from the 250 East to West division. Early in B Qualifying, he surges to the top with a 0.791-second advantage over Talon Hawkins.
Julien Beaumer (53.167) snatched the lead from Haiden Deegan (53.355) on the final lap by nearly 2/10ths of a second. He was also fastest in Anaheim before finishing second.
The A1 winner, Jo Shimoda (53.725) finished third.
Fourth-pace Ryder DiFrancesco and Jordon Smith round out the top five.

Sexton (52.977) sets the pace early in Free Practice in the 450 division by 0.256 seconds over Lawrence.
Tomac (53.596) proves last week’s speed was not a fluke by posting the third-fastest time.
Fourth-place Malcolm Stewart and Justin Cooper round out the top five and want to make some noise this weekend.
In sixth, Cooper Webb missed the top five by 0.317 seconds.

In 250s, Deegan didn’t waste much time reasserting himself. He posted the fastest lap (54.282) in Free Practice to narrowly edged Jordon Smith by 0.01 seconds.
Julien Beaumer surprised the field last week with his first Supercross top-five (a second) and he is prepared to stand on the podium again after posting the third fastest time.
Fourth-place Ryder DiFrancesco and Cole Davies rounded out the top five in Group A.
Masterpool made the switch from 250 East to West to fill a slot left open by teammate Levi Kitchen, who was too ill to ride last week in Anaheim. He was the fastest Group B rider in eighth.

Welcome to the Racer X Race Day Feed, coming to you from Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California.. From practice reports to the blow-by-blow from tonight’s program, you’ll find it all right here. Updates are posted in chronological order, so be sure to scroll down for the latest info. For even more updates be sure to follow us on X, @Racerxonline.
As is often the case, the season opener last week in Anaheim left us with even more questions than we had last week coming into the season opener. How long will it be before Jett Lawrence, who fought setup last week and finished 12th, feels comfortable enough on his motorcycle to start winning races again? Will it be as soon as tonight? Or will Chase Sexton keep things rolling by going back to back? In the 250 Class things didn’t go the way everyone thought they would—title favorite Haiden Deegan crashed on the first lap and was forced to charge back to fifth from dead last, while Jo Shimoda and Julien Beaumer battled it out for the win. Will Deegan make it happen this weekend if he gets a good start? Hopefully we’ll get answers these questions, and more, tonight!
The track here in San Diego looks great. The first impression of the dirt is that it’s tacky and a little soft, and it seems like the kind of dirt in which big ruts will start to develop. We’ll see if that plays out once bikes roll out for practice here shortly. It also looks extremely jumpy. The start stretch, which is about three-quarters of the entire length of the stadium, leads in to a small, five-jump rhythm section, which is followed by a 180-degree right hander and another rhythm, which has an option for a three-four line through it. The quad to jump out of it is pretty big, but word is Justin Hill was already doing it yesterday in press day. Speaking of Hill, we spoke with him on press day yesterday, and he seemed pretty positive about his riding and how the rest of the season might play out for him. He was also throwing huge whips and wheelieing down the start stretch, so it seems like he’s having fun. You can check out our conversation here.
Elsewhere on the track there are multiple rhythm sections, and there’s an interesting sand section following a triple. There’s an outside line that can be railed, and there’s an inside line that has an elevated entrance, followed by a large dip. It’s going to be very interesting to see how the line develops through here
Welcome to our live blog for the highly anticipated matchup at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego! We will be providing real-time updates and results throughout the game, so make sure to stay tuned for all the action.
The atmosphere here is electric as the teams take the field and the fans are on their feet, ready to cheer on their favorite players. Both teams are coming into this game with impressive records, so it’s bound to be a thrilling showdown.

CHASE SEXTON: Earned his 10th career 450SX Class victory in the 2025 Season Opener, tying him with Mike LaRocco, Marvin Musquin, and Broc Glover for 22nd on the all-time 450SX Class wins list. His 30th SMX win ties him with David Bailey for 23rd on the all-time SMX wins list. Sexton’s win marked KTM’s 65th in 450SX Class racing and the brand’s third 450SX Class Season Opener win (2014 Ken Roczen & 2018 Marvin Musquin).
KEN ROCZEN: Became the 9th athlete to earn 70 450SX Class podiums with his runner-up finish in Anaheim. Only Chad Reed, Jeremy McGrath, Eli Tomac, Ryan Dungey, Ricky Carmichael, LaRocco, Kevin Windham, and James Stewart have more than Roczen. His 157th SMX podium ties Jeff Ward for 9th all-time. It was Suzuki’s first Season Opening podium since Roczen won A1 10 seasons ago on a Suzuki in 2015.
JASON ANDERSON: Scores first Season Opening podium since 2018 while tying Rick Johnson for 15th on the all-time 450SX Class podium list. Kawasaki had been podium-less in Openers since Adam Cianciarulo finished runner-up in 2020.
NOTES: Cooper Webb (4th) Moves into top-25 in 450SX Class starts with his 123rd. His 85th 450SX Class top five finish is good for 12th all-time. Eli Tomac (5th) Made his180th 450SX Class start, good for 7th all-time; nabbed his 129th top five, good for 4th all-time. Justin Barcia (6th) Earned his 350th career SMX start. His 166th 450SX Class start passes Heath Voss for 11th all-time. Honda (11th) Finished outside of the top-10 in a Season Opener for the first time ever. Honda’s previous worse Opening finish was 8th in the 1998 Opener. Mitchell Oldenburg (16th) Made his 150th career SMX start.
HISTORY LESSON: The first 450SX Class round held in San Diego was on October 25, 1980 in San Diego Stadium, and is one of just two October Supercross rounds in the history of the sport (1984, Oakland). Mike Bell (Yam) tacked on his seventh win of the season in the San Diego finale, having already wrapped up the title. Bell outdueled Chuck Sun (Hon) and ran away with the win after Sun crashed with four laps remaining. San Diego Stadium became Jack Murphy Stadium the next season and held the finale again, with Broc Glover (Yam) scoring the victory. In 1982 Jack Murphy Stadium held their third finale in a row and Glover cruised once again.
CHAMPIONSHIP %: The winner of San Diego has won the 450SX Class title in 17/41 (41%) rounds and none since Jason Anderson in 2018. The Murph was 14/31 (45%); PETCO Park was 3/8 (38%); and Snapdragon Stadium is 0/2.
SUPERCROSS MAINSTAY: The series took two years off from San Diego before returning as the Opener in 1985, won by Johnny O’Mara (Hon) with a 2-2 overall.

Vohland went down and settled for second making Campbell the first ever 250SX Class winner.
1986: The 1986 250SX Class round in San Diego proved just as exciting as the 1985 maiden voyage. The race came down to the final lap with Bloomington, Minnesota’s Donny Schmit taking the victory over Willie Surratt and Vohland. Schmit won the title by 12 points over Surratt and 34 points over Vohland, who missed the final round.
