Happy Saturday, people of Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening locally today.

First, your weekend weather:

Here are three of the top stories in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch today:

1. Repairs to streetlights, potholes, parks, sewers, water mains, broadband connections, electric vehicle charging networks, these are some of the infrastructure issues being discussed at meetings being held in San Diego Neighborhoods. "The city’s infrastructure needs over the next five years are an estimated $5.7 billion," said council member Marni von Wilpert for District 5. "We wanna make sure we have brush management under control and fire breaks so when there is a wildfire, we are protecting homes," said von Wilpert.

2. While February is usually our wettest month, it now appears that we are unlikely to get much rain. “The jet stream usually sags into Southern California with storms in winter, but high-pressure ridges are pushing it up into the Pacific Northwest and Canada,” said James Brotherton, a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Rancho Bernardo. If the situation continues, it will worsen our drought and may limit our grass watering allowances in the future. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link.
