Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Todd Spitzer is
with us. The district attorney in Orange County, Todd ding
Dong with you, Buddy.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Ding gone back at you, Tim, Come.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
On, buddy, what's going on in Orange County? How come
they couldn't convict this guy?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, I mean, Tim, you know, I don't your talk
radio show hosts. You do an excellent.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Job, and you, buddy, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, I'm not here just to you know, say nice
things about you. But no, seriously, like you know your craft.
You have a business, and you've got to satisfy your
producers and the executives and all that stuff, right, I mean,
it's not just your audience. Right. Well, you know, we're
in the business of convincing twelve people beyond a reasonable doubt,
(00:50):
and we have to get all twelve right. And in
civil you don't have to convince all twelve. We do.
But what we learned today one of the jurors reached
out to us. It was eleven to one for guilty. Wow,
from day one, why no?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So give us a background on this guy. He's a judge.
He's an Orange County judge. How long has he been
on the bench before he allegedly shot and killed his wife.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So he was thirty years as a prosecutor in the
District Attorney's office. He was elected to the bench, sat
on the bench for about eight years, and he was
married to his wife for over twenty years. They have
one son together, but he had another son from a
prior relationship. And the night he killed his wife, they
(01:39):
were fighting about money and support that mister Ferguson was
giving his first son, and she was upset that they
were sending him money, and so he gestured to her
at a restaurant after he had been drinking and he
was intoxicated, and oh, by the way, you know, here's
a guy that has been issued to conceal weapons permit
(02:02):
for thirty years and he's carrying his gun. They're in
a restaurant. He's drinking. He was drinking at home, he
drink at the restaurant. He continued to drink when they
got home again when she was shot. But you know,
he gestures with his finger pointing towards her, like, you know, hey,
if basically it's my words, but if you don't stop
talking and be quiet. You know I'm gonna shoot you, right.
(02:24):
He's gesturing with his finger like he's pulling the trigger.
When they get home and they're still arguing, he does
it again when he's sitting on the couch. She's sitting
in a chair to his left. She says, well, hey,
you know, why don't you Why don't you, you know,
use a real gun. He reaches down into his ankle holster,
(02:44):
pulls out a real gun and shoots her point blank
in the chest. Her son spends the next ten minutes
trying to administer CPR while Ferguson leaves the house, does
nothing to render any aid whatsoever. And I look, I
don't know if you've known people you hit a dog,
you hit an animal, or you inadvertently do something to
(03:07):
somebody and you're extremely apologetic, like you're trying to render
Aid's like, oh my god, I hit a dog. Right,
He does nothing him. He goes right out of the
house and texts his bailiff saying, I just killed my wife.
I won't be at work tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh my god, man, it's really a cold blooded guy.
That's unbelievable. You know what, Todd before I got married,
and still to this day, I think anybody that shoots
their wife and kills them belongs in prison for the
rest of their life or a very very long period
(03:43):
of time. However, since I've been married, I just want
to know what she said that. What was the last
thing she said?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Why don't you shoot me?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
When he gestured again with his finger after fighting and
he's been drinking, she said, why don't you use a
real gun? And then after he shot her, she said,
you just shot me, Oh my god, and then she
collapsed on the She's tipped over in the chair. And
then their son, who's an adult, a recent graduate of college,
(04:19):
but he's an adult, he's there and watch it and
is in the same room and sees most of this.
He had said to his father at dinner when they
were fighting at this public restaurant in Nana Hills, Dad,
why don't she just divorce her? Like, I mean, you
guys fight all the time. Why don't you just get
a divorce? But what does he say? Also after he
(04:41):
shoots her? Now, I'm going to lose my attention, Kim.
This is classic what everybody. I cannot let people lose sight.
And people say, well, you know you lost this case
or it hung. No, it was actually a pretty big
victory in a very very high profile case with a
lo out of emotion. Eleven jurors said he was guilty
(05:04):
of murder beyond a reasonable doubt, and they held onto
that belief for the last five days. One person could
not be swayed for five days. And this is domestic violence.
What do tim what do people argue about in marriage
or results in violence? Somebody cheated? Right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Or money?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
There's a money just right?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But Todd, Todd Spitscher's with his storm, aren't hunting a
disc attorney. The reason why I asked what she said
last or what he said last?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Whoever? You know, whoever murdered whoever?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Because I try to save people uh from from doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know that you can, you can get to a
point where you know the person is one inch away
from snapping, and that's when you got to shut the
hell up.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm not blaming her at all.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm just I'm just saying that you know what, she
knew that that where his edge was, and and she
obviously I didn't deserve this, but in her honor, they've
got to find this guy guilty.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Next time. What are you going to retry them immediately?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, So we're back in court with the judge. Now,
mind you, this this is this trial is in Orange County,
but it's a Los Angeles County judge because obviously our bench,
our judges, recused himself, so it got transferred to an
LA County judge who came down.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Is this an LA County jury or an Orange County jury?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
The judge from LA is sitting down here in the
Orange County jury.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I see, okay, okay, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
But Tim, let me just tell you, I just want
to push back for a second on what you said.
You're right, people in relationships and marriages, they we you know,
we fight, We we say things we don't mean. We
push the edge, but guess what, we don't kill our spouses.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I'm with you and right.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And the fact of the matter is, he testified. I
listened to him, he was drinking at lunch and then
going back to court and sitting on the bench after
he was under the influence of alcohol. I'm now having
to open up many years of his cases because I
don't know if everybody got a fair shake because of
his being under the influence potentially. So the fact of
(07:20):
the matter is he's selfish. He thought about himself, He
didn't think about anything else. He administered no aid. The
argument in the defense was he went to put down
the gun. It spun out of control because his shoulder
gave out. It fired accidentally, but it lodged a bullet
center mass right after he was pulling an imaginary trigger
(07:40):
at her twice that night, and they were fighting and
arguing the defense. You know, person, we'll try it again. Well,
we're ready to go immediately, and we'll tell the judge
that on Thursday.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And so is this guy incarcerated? This judge incarcerated while
you're try him again.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So when somebody's charged with murder, they that's a million
dollar bail. He posted a million dollar bail. Wow. He
then was out of custody. He was drinking while he
was on his electronic bracelet. He said that it was
from hand sanitizer, that it was using for an itch
or a leg discomfort. The judge said, you're full of it.
(08:22):
She doubled his bail the two million he was in jail.
Then he posted two million dollar bail, and he's out
on two million dollars bail.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh my god, where does where does a da slash
judge come up with two million dollars?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
How about owning a home? An orange stung?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I guess so, yeah, you're right, got a cool county
live in. I hope you try this guy again. I
hope it's successful. It's got to be annoying as hell
to be that close. And you know, eleven people obviously
saw it the way I saw it, the way you
saw it, but one idiot or one guy is held
out and said I didn't see it. And I think
(09:01):
it's astonishing that her family thinks that he did it
accidentally as well.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, the brother did. We did a little press of
ail today and the brother has been giving interviews, He's
been on TV. He said he listened to the evidence
and he believes it's an accident. Listen, I'm not you know,
my work in victim's rights. I'm not going to argue
with the victim. But I'll tell you this, they're thinking
about the boy. That's they're thinking about the boy. He
(09:31):
has no mother, his mother's dead at the hands of
his father. And how old I want to say he's
in his late twenties. Oh okay, but you can't blame
the family. We're trying to save whatever there is left
of the family. I mean, right, the whole family has
(09:54):
been torn apart of obviously over this event. So you
can't really blame an uncle. We're really trying to do
whatever he can to keep a father in the picture.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It's human nature, right, It's just human nature.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I'm with you, buddy. I found it astonishing.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I thought in Orange County, you know, you guys would
have wrapped this up in ten minutes because all the
evidence is right there. The way he was callous after
he killed her, you know, the money issues, how he
complained about losing his pension.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's all right there.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I understand. But Tim, let me just say one thing,
and I appreciate the time. You want a system like
we have. Tim, you don't want to give up on
twelve jurors beyond a reasonable doubt. It was a hard
fought for right. I don't mind having that burden. Yes,
it can be a reuse of resources, very frustrating from
(10:51):
time to time. But you know what, I sleep better
at night when we get a conviction, knowing we convinced
twelve citizens who were strangers before they came into that
jury room, and we convinced them of the person's guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt. I have great confidence in the system,
and I sleep better at night when we get convictions
(11:13):
knowing that twelve people made that judgment call.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I'm moving to Irvine this weekend. I'm available for jury
duties starting Monday.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, well, just don't sure. They might kick you off
the jury, but good luck.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I hope that. I'll hope you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I I hope this guy gets punished as severely as
he possibly can.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
He deserves it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
All right, thanks man?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
All right, Todd Spitzer the Orange County does an attorney, Man,
that guy got off light killed his wife point blank, drinking,
arguing with a gun. Shot killed her. She's gone for
us to alive, she'll never be around anymore. For the kid,
and one didn't see it. One guy other than that though,

recording appears fired state farm executive. You know how long

Long time? Long time?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Fired?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
What did this guy do?
Speaker 12 (18:43):
What?
Speaker 17 (18:44):
Pretty shocking chain of events here? This was a State
farm Insurance topic executive fired after an utter me.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Back up, I screwed up and I had something else
playing in the background.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Sorry, apologize.
Speaker 17 (18:54):
Pretty shocking chain of events here. This was a state
farm insurance top executive fired after an undercover of video
so appears to show him talking about rate hikes. What's worse,
the comments were made in reference to fire victims in
the Pacific Palisades. Now the video, it may be difficult
to hear, but there are subtitles.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I can't tell what he's saying, but I can read
it to you. Where the palisades are, there should never
be houses built there in the first place. Where people
want to be to be built in areas where they
have natural areas around them for their ego, but they're
(19:38):
also it's a effing desert, he said. He he was
recorded during a Oh this gets even better here. It
was recorded during a tender date, saying that a request
for rate hike was kind of orchestrated, but not in
the way you think.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
What is Tinder, steph just one of the dating apps.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, but that's funny that that's what you talk about
on the tender t What is.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Is Tinder for straight guys? Gay guys? That's for straight
straight guys?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What's the gay one stuff? Grinder? Oh that's right?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, grinder, which is a weird name for do you think, yeah,
grind her? What do you think it should be called?
Let's get ready to let's get ready for Kroziers suspension?
What should they call it?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Grind him?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Anyway, he said this exactly. You know, this is what
he said.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Where like, people.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Want to be built in areas where I'm like.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, you can't understand that, neither can I. But he
said where the Palisades are, there should never be houses
built there in the first place. Where people want to
build in those areas, and again it's all jumbled up
here where they have natural areas around them for their ego,
(21:13):
but they're also in an effing desert. So this guy,
Hayden Kirkpatrick.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Has been fired. State Farm has let him go.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
State Farm executive been fired apparently making comments about the
insurance company's recent right hikes. In a shocking turn of events,
Hayden Kirkpatrick and Patrick kirk Kayden whatever was fired after
an undercover video appeared to show him talking about rate hikes,
and what's worse, the comments were made in reference to
(21:46):
the fire victims in the Palisades. You know what, I
think those comments are horrible However, let me just try
to push back a little here. When we're on dates,
don't we always fudge the truth or law or make
ourselves to be more important than we are. There should
never be a recording on a first date. Hell, if
(22:08):
there was recording of every one of my first dates
I was, I would have been opening up for Seinfeld.
There was a girl that I was dating in Seattle
who thought I was opening for Seinfeld as a stand
up comic.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Really yes, really wow.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I didn't tell her that. A friend of mine told
her that. Wait what my friend I found out? A
friend of mine told her that I was opening for
Jerry Seinfeld doing stand up thirty years ago, and he was,
you know, he's just drunk and just kidding and you know,
wanted to see his guy get lucky. And I found
(22:45):
out like three weeks later because she said to me,
she said, by the way, I found out, you don't
open for Jerry Seinfeld and you never did.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'm like, christ, did I I never said that? Yeah,
shows what you know?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I never did.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, I said, never said that. She goes, yeah, but
your friend blank told me. I said, which friend of
mine told you that? And she goes Brett Okay, that
sounds except Brett would say.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You believe Brett.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Brett Lawrence was a very good friend of mine. He
has since passed away, by the way. That's awful, But
we were really good friends in third grade and he
had the only if his dad's still with us here,
should wait until I tell his story. But he's the
only guy in all of our group of friends who
(23:41):
had a VCR and a porno tape. Out of all
the friends I know, no dad's at least we did
that we knew had any access to photography outside of
a magazine that involvesnography. When I was growing up in
(24:02):
the sixties and seventies, none of my friend's dads had
any of that material again that we knew of, except Brett,
very popular guy. You know, you have to understand when
we were growing up, there wasn't a Blockbuster. You couldn't
(24:23):
go to Blockbuster and rent the tape. There was no
such thing as recording of television when I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
EO.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
My dad came home in like nineteen seventy two with
his big ass machine. He put on top of the TV.
I said, what is that and he said, it's a recorder.
I said, well, we already have a cassette recording. He goes, no,
you can record TV and play it back. I go,
get the Christ out of here. Who do you think
I am. I'm in third grade. I know better than that.
And he recorded it. And the first thing he recorded
(24:50):
was a part of a Dodger game. And then he
played it back and we watched a replay in our
house of a Dodger game because he just recorded like
two minutes of it. And I said, Dad, this is
the greatest machine in the world. You can actually watch
television again. And I had a remote, but it was
plugged in. Yeah, yeah, wired remote exactly, but it was.
(25:13):
But it was an inch and a half tape. It
was one of those big decor you know, it's like
a two inch taper, an inch and a half tape.
They were heavy. They were like fifteen pounds and it
recorded television. And they were expensive. I think they were
like twelve thousand dollars when they first came out.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Usually when Dad would bring home a big box and
put on top of the TV, it was another TV.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, it was on top of the console TV on
the floor.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Right, And we had two TVs like that because the
top TV sound didn't work and the bottom TV picture
didn't work, so you'd have to turn the TVs at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yep, Life, Real Life.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And now for that same TV it's thirty eight dollars
at Walmart.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Vanderberg Space Force. They are going to black Rocket. Also,
let me see if it's still on schedule. Sometimes they
change the schedule they have complications. I don't know if
you saw this, but Elon Muss has had a couple
of bum rockets over last month or so. So let
me see if it's that the eight to ten launch
is still on. Yes, one minute thirty minutes in counting
(26:19):
from right now? One hour sorry, one hour thirty minutes,
thirty one seconds, one hour thirty minutes. So what is
an hour and thirty minutes from now? I eight oh nine,
eight ten pm. There's gonna be a rocket blasting off
at eight ten pm. I'll be watching it. My wife
(26:40):
will not be watching it. Krozer'll be watching it, his
wife will not be. This is what a goofball I
am for space. We were flying back from Portland after
Christmas and I was online on the plane and I
saw that Vandenberg was going to shoot a rocket off
(27:01):
when we were about fifty miles away from Vandenburg, and
so I had I told the flight attendant. I said, Hey,
can you tell the pilot that we're gonna there's gonna
be a launch of a rocket forty to fifty miles
in front of us? And I told him that. I
told the flight attendant for two reasons. One, I'd like
for him to point it out if he saw it,
(27:22):
so I could see it and that'd be interesting. And two,
maybe if he knows that we're gonna be within forty miles,
to keep your eye out for it, you know what
I mean, How what a spectacular lawsuit that would be
VanderBurg rocket goes off and takes out a passenger jet.
And so I told the flight attendant that she told
(27:45):
the pilot, and the pilot came on the air ten
minutes later and said, Hey, there's a rocket blasting off.
We're going to make a slight turn so you can
see it out the ports, the starboard side windows, the
right side windows. And I saw the rocket blast off
from the air, and it was a really cool thing.
I think it's a white once in a lifetime deal
to be in a commercial jetliner watching a rocket blast off.
(28:08):
I don't know how many people can say that. I
don't know anybody. And so tonight Vandenberg they're going to
blast a rocket off at eight ten pm. But there's
been some mischief making around Vandenburg.
Speaker 18 (28:20):
I know the California man today pleading guilty in a
downtown LA courtroom to flying a drone over Vandenburg Space
Force Base. Ye Powzo admitted taking photograph.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
What's the guy's name?
Speaker 18 (28:32):
Y Powso admitted in powsoud is the dude's name?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Impowsoud?
Speaker 18 (28:37):
Y Powzo admitted taking photographs of the base last November.
He was arrested days later at San Francisco, where he
was about to board a flight to China.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
WHOA, what's this guy doing?
Speaker 18 (28:49):
Zhou faces up to one year in prison for violating
the National Devents Airspace. Sentencing is set for April seventh.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Oh, I think we got to hold him for longer
than that. All right, Uh, that's at eight ten pm.
That's when you are going to see the rocket blast off.
Ten minutes after eight, one hour and twenty five minutes
from now so look west, young man, look.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
West, and I pinned your video of the pilot telling
people to look. So if they want to go on
Instagram at Conway Show, it's.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
The first video. It's very nice of you, Sharon. You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Timothy, there you go all right by the way, Bellio,
did you feel the earthquake on Sunday?
Speaker 15 (29:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I did not? I did? It was pretty round. Yeah,
you said the whole valley was rocket.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Valley was moving pretty good. I mean, look, there are
people from Santa Barbara to ocean side that felt done.
That's a lot of weight, that's a lot of energy,
a lot of it. Like, for instance, Balio, if you
had a wheelbarrow full of earth like two or three
hundred pounds, you could barely move it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
However, the earth moved all the way to nine miles deep,
from Santa Barbara to ocean side and into the San.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Gabriel is what is it?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
The what is the valley out there where Palmdale is
a what do they call that area?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
That valley? Antelo Valley?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, sorry, the Annalo Valley from the Annealo Valley to
ocean side to Santa Barbara and nine miles deep, that's
how much earth moved.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That is outrageous.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
The kind of energy it takes to move that much
earth is unbelievable. And we felt it. We felt that
it was wild, it was rolling, it was rocking. And
every time you feel it, and every time you hear
about it, you think it's the prelude to the big one,
and it's not so far. And we had and we've
(30:47):
had specialists on before talking about it, and they they
all agree. Every expert we've ever had on to talk
about earthquakes, they all agree. When the big one hits,
no in California, in southern California, we'll say the following, Hey,
is this the big one? Nobody will say that, Doctor
(31:09):
Lucy Jones said. Nobody in southern California will say.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Is this the big one? When it happens, nobody, we'll
all know it.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Hey tomorrow, We've got an interesting story for you at
five pm. We're still working on it. We'd present it
to you now, but we're still ironing it out. But
it's about teens drinking at home. Do you let your
teenager drink at home? Is that a good thing or
a bad thing. Well, we've got all the information. We've
been wrapped. We've been doing this for I think we've
(31:49):
been working at belly. How many months we've been working
on this, on this idea on the story. Three months?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, it's already been three months. Yeah, right before, Chris, Yeah, okay,
three months. And so we'll tell you tomorrow if that's
a good idea or bad idea. Don't forget. The storm's
coming in. We have a lot more rain, a lot
of it. It's going to be potentially thunder storms, lightning,
up to two feet of snow above the six thousand
(32:19):
foot mark. We've got a lot of weather coming in
tomorrow all the way until Sunday, on and off, on
and off, fush hours. And that's and that's and that
is a lot for the burn scars.
Speaker 15 (32:32):
See a lot of water in the Santa Ana River
right now. That thanks to a lot of snow that
we got lace late last week. But as we know,
southern California is still mired in a bit of a drought.
But the news isn't all bad with a couple of
big storms on the way. Diamond Valley Lake, the largest
reservoir in southern California, a critical supply of water.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Never heard of it, never heard of my life. Diamond
Valley Lake, Diamond Valley Lake, never heard of it once.
Speaker 15 (33:00):
It's ninety eight percent full level in years. But don't
let the water level fool.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
YEA.
Speaker 19 (33:06):
That's because of those two wet winters that we had.
We were able to, you know, fill up the reservoirs.
The water supplies in really good condition. The state is
actually set up to withstand, you know, a couple of
years of back to back drought.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Good we're right ready for a drought.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
For people who don't know where this lake is, Diamond Valley,
Diamond Valley Lake is out near the two fifteen and
Hemmett if you take the two fifteen and then you
veer off towards Hemmet, Green Acres out there, that area,
Winchester Farms, that's where it is. It's a it's just east.
(33:45):
If you're in Lake Elsinore. I know a lot of
people listening to KFI who live in Lake Elsinore. If
you're living in Lake Elsinore and you look one directly
to the east, if you started walking east, you would
walk right into this lake. Diamond Valley Lake and it's full,
so we can stand a couple of years of drought.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's great news.
Speaker 15 (34:07):
And hydrologists Jamie Labor with the National Weather Services, according
to the US Drought Monitor, while northern California is doing
just fine, parts of southern California are in severe or
in some cases extreme drought.
Speaker 19 (34:19):
That is very typical of Alninia pattern where we get
the storm track gets pushed north and then the southern
part of not only California, but of the United States
tends to be dry.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah, a little dry, yeah, we get that up.
Speaker 15 (34:32):
Well, there could be problems in the burn scars left
by the Eaton Palisades and Bridge fires.
Speaker 20 (34:36):
The greatest concern is as we go into Wednesday night,
that's when a pretty fast moving cold front moves through
all southern California.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Do you hear that?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Wednesday night, Southern California for reason, actually.
Speaker 20 (34:51):
Looks pretty vigorous. To be honest, we do have the
concern of hitting some of these USGS thresholds for the
burn scars.
Speaker 15 (34:59):
National Weather Service orcaster David Gomberg says it's expected to
be a cold storm in the mountains. They could be
measuring the snow accumulation in feet rather than inches.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah feet of snow up above six thousand feet in
the San Fernando Valley on Friday. The high temperature in
the San Fernando Valley forty nine degrees. Forty nine degrees
will be the high temperature in the San Fernando Valley
low of forty. We're almost into the thirties. Forty to
(35:28):
forty nine degrees on Friday. That is cold. It's freezing,
and if you're in if you're up in Mammoth, it's
going to be absolutely freezing.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
These are some of the lows.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Thirteen on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, thirteen, twelve, and seventeen degrees.
The highest only in the mid twenties on Thursday and Friday.
The lowest thirteen, the highest twenty six in Mammoth Mountain,
the lowest on Friday, the lowest twelve, and the highest
twenty eight degrees. If you are a big fan of
Big Bear, like watching those birds, those eagles and the eaglets,
(36:06):
then you're gonna be freezing up there as well.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Those birds are gonna be freezing.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
It's gonna be twenty four degrees with a thirty five
degree high on Friday, on Thursday and Friday. Low of
twenty four, high of thirty five both Thursday and Friday
for Big Bear, freezing in Big Bear, absolutely frozen. If
you're in Lancaster and you're like, hey, what's going on
(36:32):
with me? In Lancaster Friday, thirty six is the low.
Forty eight is the high. Forty eight degrees is the
high in Lancaster on Friday.
Speaker 15 (36:43):
That is cold, meaning it could be an even bigger
snowmaker than last week's big storm.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
We can be.
Speaker 20 (36:49):
Seeing some levels crashed down as low as three of those.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Okay, three thousand feet. That means you can see them
in the San Fernando Valley. The tops of the mountains
that surround the San Fernando Valley might get a dusting.
Speaker 20 (37:03):
Some of those low elevation passes, so especially Interstate five
near the grape Vine.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
YEP, the Grapevine is going to be icy and cold
and wet and in snowy.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
It's going to be a mess.
Speaker 20 (37:14):
Will be of concern, even the Highway fourteen. When you
think about Agua Dultse acting out toward the foothills of Pundel.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I'm telling you it's coming and it's going to be
an epic storm, freezing cold, snow everywhere.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
That could be at risk also on Thursday morning.
Speaker 15 (37:32):
And experts don't believe these storms will be droughtbusters. Yes,
they could be pretty big if the forecast is correct,
but because we're so dry, will likely still be in
a pretty big drought. Live in Colton. Robert millin ADC
seven Eyewitness News.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
All Right, Rob McMillan, you've got to keep it on KFI.
I'm not gonna tell you again, Okay, it's a must
this week to keep it on KFI because every day
there's going to be rain. Every day there's a potential
of rain and a lot of snow and potential thunderstorms.
(38:07):
So it's a week that I'm gonna be spending with
you and you're gonna be spending with me. We're all
gonna be here together because it's gonna be raining. And
anytime it rains, KFI is your station of record. We
will tell you where, how much, where it's going, where
it's been, where the snow levels are, what highways will
be closed. The fifteen, the five through the Grapevine, the
(38:31):
fifteen up to Las Vegas, the Upper Desert, Apple Valley,
that area we're gonna tell you Victorville whether those those
highways are gonna be open. They might both be closed,
and you'll hear, you know, minute by minute updates on
what's going on. Will the CHP be escorting people through
the Grapevine? Probably, and you'll want to know that if
(38:53):
you travel on the Grapevine. Keep it on KFI this
week and we'll update you as often as we can.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
All Right, get some rest.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
It's gonna be a long week and you're gonna be
with us because it's gonna be raining and it's gonna
be snowing all week long. It's Convoy Show, mel Kelly's
