3:07 pm
odds are still low, about 20% chance, that anyone in the bay could see one of those isolated cells develop. we will look at this in more detail and show you how this is occurring. you have to have everything come together just right if you're going to have lightning in the bay. it can happen and summer i more likely time. i will show you how that plays out coming u in the pleat forecast coming up it a bit. san francisco police are searching for answers after a body was found in golden gate park at the outside lands festival. shawn chitnis has the latest. >> reporter: people live near the park and come here often sa it is disturbing to learn that the body of a woman was found near the entrance of golden gat park on sunday night. san francisco police are investigating this case as a homicide. they say officers arrived at the intersection of 22nd and delton around 7:30 pm it isn't far from one of the main entrances for outside land which was wrapping up its third night at the park. officers

possible, the city quietly developed a plan to move the farmers out . instead the plaza will contain a public recreatio area including skateboarding, pickleball and ping-pong and chess tables. >> my understanding and what we have been told is that it is an experimental pilot project to improve conditions on u.n. plaza. we have been told that if it does not work out, if it proves to be unsuccessful, they will put the bricks back and we can come back on the plaza. we have our doubts about that but that is what we have been told. >> reporter: what happens to th farmers? they will be moved to the parking lot across the street from u.n. plaza. but the are not happy about it. they sa the space, which market customers currently use for parking, is smaller and will no

3:19 pm
enjoy it for the moment, seeing the clouds we don't normally see. watch the clouds bubbling up through the convection as they build vertically. we get them, but not often. it's worth savoring it and taking in the view. when we see clouds that d that over the bay, that portabl vertical holding, that's all thunderstorms begin. we go straight to first alert doppler every once in a while as thing come together just right, some of the thunderstorms can get pushed far enough west that the get full into the bay. we saw this last night in the 9:00 hour. we're watching the last 45 minutes, that is just north of winsor along 101 heading towards the sonoma coast. we're watching for more of those . a wide view and quick descent int the big picture, just to get an idea of why this is so rare an how everything has to come together just right and white might be difficult to forecast exactly where the next
3:20 pm
thunderstorm might pop up, went to look at the picture to see how it's happening. if you this thunderstorms out here, coming from the sierra nevada, what you don't see is what's driving it. we put in the water vapor , there's a counterclockwise spin in the atmosphere. when we highlighted like that, now you can see it, it is steering the atmosphere. it is in the perfec spot to start pulling all the moisture always over here in the desert southwest and wrap i around the top of it and directed right at us. watch wha happens on the big picture. jus a narrow line that happens to b directed right over the bay. that is one of the reasons this is such a difficult forecast. the other thing is, the necessary ingredients for this are so limited that it's virtually impossible to say exactly when or where one of th next cells will develop. here's the latest futurecast and it doesn't even show any. it shows
3:21 pm
moreover the sierra but doesn't show any over us. we know that is a little too overdone. there is likely something. we will probably get a few isolated showers. maybe an occasional strike of lightning. it wouldn' be overwhelming and it's not a significant fire threat althoug anytime there is lightning on our dry grass we will keep an eye on it. from now through tomorrow afternoon, maybe even longer, we will keep this chanc going for about eight 10% to 20%. it doesn't get put in the seven-day forecast. but of all the days in the seven-day forecast, a cooldown for concord who spent most of it in the 80s, the day that stands ou the most is tomorrow. with the 97 and partly cloudy skies, we're going to keep that chance going where we have the possibility for an an isolated thunderstorm to stay with us. let's get the daytime highs and we will get the rest of the 78 forecast in here as well. everybody gets a nice hot day today. low 100s inland. looking at the seven-day forecast, not a lot of change for san francisco and oakland. your numbers are going to budge a
3:22 pm
lot. santa rosa on top and san jose on the bottom line. everyone gets a relatively cool week even though it's near 90 today and san jose you'll be near 80 the rest of the week. today and tomorrow, 10% to 20% chance of an an isolated shower and maybe a strike of lightning back to you. football is officially bac up. we are your home for 49ers preseason. they kicked it off i vegas against the raiders yesterday. matt has the recap. >> this is the volkswagen red and gold report. >> reporter: the 49ers fell fla the first preseason game in vegas but the good news, it's not going to hurt the record. all eyes were on trey lance as he battled sam darnold for the backup job. he felt the pressur all afternoon getting sacked four different times as the raiders owned the trenches. he did throw a miracle touchdown, the football gods helping him out, the ball goes in and out o duke shelley's hands and ross comes down with it.
3:23 pm
>> your assessment on today? >> i mean, we can improve as team, offense, defense, special teams. >> it's hard to get the ball ou when if you raise your hand there is someone in your face. >> i've got to be better. they did a great job. they are competing their butts off. >> reporter: with the red and gold report. still ahead, white some win grapes are still sitting on the vine and why growers are gettin more nervous with each passing day.
