reporting. the woman behind the wheel was taken to a nearby hospital and intoxication was not a factor. not only does she survive, but she walked out of the hospital with minor injuries only. fire watch, a wildfire burning in alpine county, southeast of lake tahoe. the tamarac fire is threatening the town of berkeley ville. it's now prompting evacuation orders there and in several nearby communities. time-lapse video provides a sense of the heavy smoke the fire is generating. it expanded rapidly on friday to 1600 acres. the fire had been smoldering for 12 days, sparked initially by a lightning strike. firefighters across california are watching forecasts. they are on the lookout for dry lightning. last august, lightning storms triggered devastating wildfires. cal fire says, the risk is only gotten worse now. that's especially true at higher elevations, where brush and tender are critically dry. dividing a lot of potential fuel there. wildfires in the past few years have often been propelled by wind events, but lightning poses its own challenges. >> the incidents involving lightning are a little more unpredictable. obviously never sure where the next lightning strike is going to take place. we do note that there are typically accompanied by one of erratic wins, as those fronts move through. >> if lightning does materialize, a red flag that

would follow, launching the prepositioning of crews in anticipation of potential buyers. let's get all the details for the week and's weather with meteorologist darren. >> that's something i want to focus on, devin. the possibility for lightning strikes throughout northern california, including the bay area, is a sunday afternoon into monday morning time frame concern. we're gonna get there and the forecast in one second. first, let me show you what saturday looks like. gray out there as we look down 880. that's a good example of what it looks like for much of the immediate a this morning. temperatures, mid-50s. to start everybody has low 50s in santa rosa. a closer look with clouds actually uncover the numbers, you can see where the gray is. east bay, looking at it on 880, solely for the city, and up into some of the valleys in the north they would santa rosa actually getting clear skies right now. it doesn't get too far inland today. it improves back to the beach

by the time we to late morning. sunshine for everybody here by the time we get into the 9:00 and 10:00 hour. and, with plenty of sunshine, we're gonna start warming up many inland locations could get up to portage or by degrees warmer than yesterday. daytime highs in the south bay here to the mid-80s .81 in palo alto. union city, 75. we will probably see the numbers show climb back up into the mid and upper 80s. 88, 90, pleasant hill, go to 84 in pleasanton and back over on the east bayshore side, it'll be in the low 70s. upper 80s as you get up into marin. upper 80s for sonoma. numerous climbing numbers from there to the mid-90s by the time we get up into the lake and mendocino county. let's talk what the fire weather concern now. we just saw saturday, no real issues. fire weather concern, from sunday morning through monday morning. notice the areas included in this. mountains. another way of thinking this is anywhere that has had influence

from the marine layer of the last few days. this is not a fire weather did tationpots we get into even modest dry lining events becomes a major concern. check out how this will play out. this will come from the east. something that happens every summer, the debtor and the desert southwest has a monsoon that you can send the satellite here. every once in a while, the pattern will throw those thunderstorms far enough west to california sees its share. so this is typical. it happens on a fairly regular basis. is just not very often. usually it's the sierra that gets it. sure enough, that's really gonna be the focus here. the sierra is really on the front lines for the possibility for this dry lightning. if we take a look closer to home, watch what happens as we come for a closer look on sunday. we see a few spotty showers here that want to show up. it

will be a concern for us locally. call it a 20% or 30% chance that we might have the possibility for some dry lightning. those ions were much higher in the sierra. quite honestly, the sierra is a much bigger concern on that front, when we start talking about the possibility for dry lightning. let's get into the seven-day forecast here. we'll highlight as many locations as we can. we'll start out with a look across the seven-day forecast, calling on the daytime highs for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you can see the difference. it'll be in the low 80s for the

next few days in san jose. if we take a look at the forecast, in a slightly different way now, break it up into regions that define inland, he spanned the top line, north bay is the middle one, and there is your coast, going on the bottom. you can really see the spread. look how much warmer it is for the human valleys in the east bay compared to places like santa rosa. you can really pick up the difference is if you can look at the seven-day that way. that's what they're going to be doing more often for you here. >> we're going to have to cross our fingers and we don't get an encore of the lightning-sparked fire from last that caused chaos in the north bay and east bay. san mateo and santa cruz counties, along the coast, all simultaneously. >> that's the obvious comparison that would be brought up in this scenario. i can't stress enough that the degree to which we would see lightning would not even come close to what that was. that had on the order of thousands of lightning strikes from an unusual scenario that was tapped into a tropical storm from the west. this is a far more tame scenario, where it should be much less, thankfully, far less likely that what we saw in that situation last year. >> thank you. a documentary on the life of celebrity chef anthony bourdain is sparking a backlash. the film uses artificial intelligence to fake his voice. cbs' jim axelrod has details. >> reporter: the goal of the

new documentary was straightforward, about anthony bourdain. the director, warren neville, told me. >> we want people to make some sense out of his death. >> reporter: it turns out, how it was made, not very successful. >> i'm successful and wondering, are you happy? >> reporter: the soundbite was something anthony bourdain wrote but never actually said. listen again. >> successful, i'm successful. >> reporter: generated by a computer. the use of artificial intelligence now evolved a modern storytelling technique but did not disclose it to the viewers. >> putting a voice to something someone ever at said is a really bad idea. i think to do that and not disclose that you have done it is a colossal bad idea. >> reporter: syracuse university professor, robert thompson, says, using a i like this only adds fuel to the fake news fire. >> the harder i think about you reporting without people saying, who knows if that

person really said that. who knows if that really happened. they're neville claims the aia voice was used with the blessing of anthony bourdain's estate and literary agent. anthony bourdain's ex-wife tweeted, i was not the one who said, tony would be called that. jim axelrod, cbs news. >> as deep fakes become more advanced, and there is no increasing concern about what is real and fake.

we will go int of detail on why and just when and how much concern we should have over that. first, let's talk about saturday. there are no issues with saturdays. we're starting out sunny, down in san jose, sonny for the inland valleys. the east bay as well. when we take a look at the east bay down 880 here, marine layers in the short average, coming into the immediate bay. we're waking up to the gray if you're right in the immediate bay or up around there. we have seen the clouds get in there. the temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. right now, call 50s for santa rosa, under clear sky. looking at the clouds here, here they are. there they go. by the time we get to late morning, they're already back. there to the coast. the sun for everybody and daytime highs look something like this. low to mid 80s for most of the south bay communities. we will top out at 80 for the daytime high today for redwood city. we'll go to 71 in hayward. numbers for the far inland east

bay will be right around 90. a little warmer than yesterday. east bay shoreline is upper 60s. we're low 70s and mid 80s as we get into marin. mid 80s in sonoma and low to mid 90s today in lake and mendocino county. let's talk about this fire weather concern for the bay area. sunday afternoon through monday morning. but look at the yellow line. there's been a 30% chance of us actually seeing dry lightning strikes here in the bay area. lightning strikes that are dry when lightning reaches the ground with the rain, because it's so dry down here, the rain actually evaporates. so you've got dry lightning, which i'm sure you can imagine, it would not be a good scenario for fire weather concerns. let me show you how this could happen. see the clouds are developing of arizona? that is the monsoon. happens every summer. thunderstorms throughout the desert southwest. every so often, the storms are pushed far enough west to be

pushed into california. happens every summer to some degree. not usually a major event, but does happen. the sierra usually gets most of it and they will this time around. the real concern for fire weather with dry lightning strikes is the sierra. that's where this is a significant concern. back here at home though, we can take a look at the possibility of those showers getting wrapped up into california. yes, there's a chance we could see a stray shower or two around the bay area. with these areas being so dry around homes, it is a fire weather concern. any fire started in the sierra will be a concern, one way or the other, whether is the significance of the fire or the smoke. things to be watched over the next two days. seven-day forecast, spotlighting seven cisco, oakland and san jose specifically per look at the differences as oakland goes to the low 70s and san jose, low 80s. the real differences in the seven-day, spotlighting the difference between the inland east bay and the north bay
