solar eclipse. for some parts of the world, it will be several minutes of total darkness. for us in the bay area, it will be a partial eclipse but definitely still an incredible sight to see. we are breaking down this event in the skies and how you can watch it safely. we start with a first alert weather day. there is a threat of thunderstorms this afternoon. this bruss no to some of our bay area peaks.

this is video from our lightnins probably a good idea to watch with the last hour has look like to show you how this appeared -- it was not out of nowhere. the ingredients were there. enough moisture in the atmosphere, enough instability with direct sunlight hitting that particular location and we were able to spawn a thunderstorm. it will not be this one cell. the reason why i say that is because if we come back for a wider view and switch from live first alert opler -- first of all, notice the direction this is going.

continue moving south down toward the west of contra costa county. in order to track that, we will go to the high resolution forecast model which does a fantastic job of depicting that particular cell right now. since it has got a very accurate depiction of what the real world circumstances are, this is a very trustworthy model if you are going to use it in the short term, to play it out over the next few hours. watch what happens. that cell will continue to move south. it crosses over into contra costa county and then it trains several other smaller cells

behind it . for the next few hours, inland east bay locations, particularly up and down 680 will get a pretty good little show with isolated thunderstorms. let's look at it on the wide view. we have the same model, same timeframe only we are looking at last one there is nothing else out here that develops into anything in terms of bringing us rain. yeah, the story now is the warm-up that is coming our way.
