    ENCINITAS, Calif. — About 20 to 30 years ago, the use of medicinal plant gardens for drug research slowed down in part because there was no living collection that could be used sustainably or consistently. The San Diego Botanic Garden is working to change that through the use and study of native plants, and ultimately plants across the world. The medicinal plant collection they have in Encinitas will serve as a tool for Western medicine.

    SAN DIEGO — Scattered showers tapered off Friday making way for a mostly dry and mild start to the weekend before yet another strong winter storm is set to impact Southern California with heavy rain and gusty winds. For Saturday, expect a partly cloudy sky with the sun peeking through across most of the county. Temperatures will stay on the cooler side of average, so a jacket could still come in handy with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s.

☀️We're kicking off the week with a ridge of high pressure over the region. This had temps peaking warmer than usual for this time of the year by 10 to 20 degrees. 🌡️For some SD county cities, it was a day of record heat. Still feeling the inland heat tomorrow. @cbs8 #cawx https://t.co/DsiDgzVvyq

Isolated rain and mountain snow is on the radar right now with sunshine closer to the coast. Most of the county is taking a break, but we have more wet weather on the way for Friday. Expect light to moderate rain late morning into the evening hours before 11pm. @CBS8 #cawx https://t.co/FHsiztjYHB
