that is going to be looking at the really cool like middle of the night effect day for us. you'll notice a little bit of a cool down a kind since we're not a total solar eclipse. do not be looking straight out unless you have the right can write yeah. yeah. you definitely need those proper eclipse viewing glasses. sunglasses aren't going to work. good note. yeah, because i think a lot of people probably are just gonna put those on to look up. don't do that. yeah. okay. and even safer to observe indirectly by projecting through the sun's image with a pin hole or binoculars. there's like a whole process that write that. so there's a million 1 youtube videos on how to do that actually i've been watching the but yeah, that path of totality, as we've noted, goes from texas, ok, arkansas are right up through the northeast, ok? and it's looking like the best place to watch is going to be like burlingame, vermont, burlington, vermont, ok, i know you were just there. yeah, absolutely. because cloud coverage is going to be less up. their perfectly clear. just like unfortunately, spots like ohio

and texas are going to be a little bit cloudier, but importantly for us and we got nothing. but the sun today, james, and that means that we're going to be looking at it really nicely. here's its path going right up. the middle of the country out dallas, texas spots like arkansas. cleveland, ohio. going to be right in the middle of it. siya. if you have friends that are in that area, they're probably getting ready for already. but james, here's that. look at the map of what's going to be cloudy and what's not. oh, i see, ok, so good is green and red is poor visibility. and look at how green we and then some spots. he flew all the way out. various haha, nutley, various but james for us, i'm so forecast couldn't be better. okay. and we'll talk more about where there are different viewing parties throughout the throughout the morning today for that but let's take a quick look outside. look at those clear conditions. we have a shot here from. i believe it's are are sutro tower camera looking out over the golden gate bridge the sunshine is out. the skies are clear and

eventually will dim a little bit once it gets eclipsed. i'm i know, right? it's just perfectly bright right now. but later on today, you're exactly right, james. we're going to see a little dimming its going to look like a few pounds clouds are passing, but it's the moon that's passing between us and the sunshine. you can see out there and nothing but the sun, not just for the bay, but across the entire state as well. futurecast shows that remaining that way all day long today, peak of secure a shun that pete maximum shadow 35% will be right around 11:15am. this morning. so get out there around that time and try to just have a good spot to watch it with those eclipse glasses. now we are in for quite the warm-up this week. today is just comfortable by wednesday and thursday. our first 80 degree days for some spots in the bay area this entire year. but we waste no time after that. cooling back down. it's a roller coaster in temperatures this week. very warm middle of the week by the weekend will barely make 60 degrees saturday, bringing rain and more mountain

snowfall. so not done with wintry weather just yet. as for temperatures to date 60's to 70's out there, still going to feel a little bit chilly around eclipse time at 11:00am. in fact, temperatures likely cool down a couple of degrees because you're not going to have the full sunshine. so just make sure your jacket up ready to go. san jose at seventy-two degrees today, union city and oakland are right at 69 for your highs. concord, 73 for your daytime high today. as you also see in santa rosa. a look ahead shows temperatures on the upswing thursday into winds tuesday to thursday. should say after that, it's really cool and down quick by saturday at showers and barely hitting 60 for inland spots. back to you. all right, john, thank you for at your bridges. a bridge right now about 12 minutes traveling into the city this morning, mateo bridge around 15. it december for over a just short of 8 minutes and the golden gate bridge. 37 of the tolls. 23 minutes. let's talk about the bay area's ago will shake up just before noon on saturday.

and we had a 3.2 magnitude earthquake hit berkeley. the epicenter was actually right near that. >> claremont canyon. now the usgs says that the quake ran about 5.8 miles deep. so almost 6 miles luckily, no damage reports. so there's been a lot of shift in and shaking around the world. number jersey, and i heard it. i want i want oust trump was rob nesbitt spoke to a doctor from us. yes, and they talk about the shakes and what that means. taiwan experience its biggest earthquake in a quarter of a century last week. so berkeley, new jersey, taiwan, is this rare to have so many around the same time span globally. >> there are earthquakes going on all the time around the world. and it turns out that we've had events that have happened in very highly populated areas. 20 million people on the east coast in the northeast. millions of people in taiwan and of course, millions of people in the bay area. so these earthquakes tend to be noticed quite a bit. mean, one thing that happened on earlier this

week or 2 earthquakes near chico. and it turns out that for those earthquakes and not for the one that occurred this morning, the shaler earthquake early warning system which we have in california, oregon, washington was was triggered. so, yes, even had events just this week in california where early warning was was used. so my last question for you, kind of what advice do you have for our viewers talking about all these different places that have experienced earthquakes. what should people do to make sure they're fully prepared? yes, there there are 3 things. i think that people should really doing. number one, horst know what to do. if you feel shaking or if you get an alert on your phone. and if you don't have quick early warning on your phone, find out more about that at shake alert, dot org. so number one know what to do if you feel shaking are getting alert, drop cover and hold on. number 2, there are lots of tools that the united states geological survey offers so usgs dot gov. you'll find all

kinds of resources that you can you can use and learn more about earthquakes, part of knowing about what to do having some control over what happens is knowing about how earthquakes work. and number 3 get involved. if you feel an earthquake reported, tell us what happened. allows us to to learn more about that earthquake and to to improve things to improve infrastructure, everything. be involved, know what to do. and if you haven't downloaded shake alert, powered on your phone, do it as soon as you can. doctor group from usgs, great advice. thank you for your time. >> well, in the south bay, santa clara county officials says they're now seen low-income residents lose their medical benefits. so the county says from june 2023, january 2024, medical members dropping 458,004. 25 health advocates say this decline is because people they had to reapply for benefits. now that the pandemic was officially

over and that meant the county needed to determine if they were still eligible. but the social security administration says this could be due to residents live recovered california plant instead. >> we're going to take a break or day. 22. but coming up on the kron 4 morning news, why some brooklyn residents say that mail-in voting is discriminatory and what planning to do about it. we
