>> we have a question about staying safe in the sun. >> we wear hats, sun glasses, and sun screen butk? >> that is such a great question we all need sun to keep us healthy, but too much sun can damage our skin, which is why we wear sun screen had the sun shines, it sends two types of ultraviolet -- or uv raies -- to earth. uva raies cause the skin to wrinkle. uvb raies hit the top layer of the skin. sun screen can work in two ways it can reflect the uv raies away from your skin or absorb the raies before they get into your skins. most sun screen does a bit of both. >> sun screen is one of the best ways we can keep our skin healthy and protected from the damaging raies of the sun. >> another term you'll see on sun screen, spf, it stands for sun protection factor, telling you how long the sun would take to redden your skin with or without if you wear sun screen with spf 30, it would take about 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours to get a sun burn. >> sun burns are usually kind of sneaky they can be hard to feel at the time they're happening. that's why applying sun screen regularly, even when yo

and then we'll see plenty of sun.when the temperatures are the warmest this weekend napa close to 100 degrees. tuesday, the fog and marine layer is back in, good sign of the onshore wind returns, going to lead to cooler temperatures by middle part of next week, and maybe, just a maybe potential chance of drizzle at the coastline and light showers. at this point, it's not overly impressive, but the trend through the next couple days, cooler weather next week and drizzle by tuesday and wednesday. vicki, back to you. >> we need it. thank you. still ahead, we invest gait the attack on a south bay power station, why some are criticizing the response. that story right after the break. stay with us. >>> good morning, there's lots to do. today in the bay, looking for hot times saturday? here's options for you. literal, this structure there is the home of pilgrim soul forge. there's the name, there's the door to get in. fourth harvest fair where a black smith shows his worked created by forging and heetding metals. check out t

using sun block instead of sunscreen. that blocks it out. >> and reapplying. >> i was up in tahoe where i got to see some sun and warmth rather than what is going on down here. but you say you have some news? >> late august, better late than never. it is windy. there is one more storm that will pass to the north that will give us win and fog. oakland looking back towards san francisco. finally as we head off to the clear conditions up here, some clouds are closer to the south end of the bay and closer to the ocean and a lot of those clouds are moving over the sierra where they are sparking showers and thunderstorms right now. 70 santa rosa, 60 in san francisco, 68 in livermore, just touched 70 in livermore. a cold day over the bay area, 68 in san jose, 68 in oakland. 12 to 20-mile-an-hour winds. monday and tuesday the wind starts to come out of the north and northeast, the hot, dry wind. monday and tuesday a whole other story. showers moving through the sierra, lake tahoe and trucky to reno, they have some high fire dange

the sun. >> reporter: he's a part of the parker solar probe team, which is moving into the sun's atmosphere, providing remarkable observations and data about the sun and its impact on earth. >> the earth lives in the atmosphere of the sun. that's the atmosphere that space weather happens as opposed to terrestrial weather. unders understanding that and how it accelerates to a million miles an hour is important. >> reporter: a chance to look, learn and witness a total eclipse. junction, texas. >>> let's turn to the white house. it was a busy day on the campaign trail with dueling messages about student loan debt relief and abortion rights. leer's alice bar with the latest. >> reporter: an issues-driven day on the campaign trail as former president trump zeros in on abortion, and president biden talks student loan debt relief in background wisconsin. >> their relief can be life changing. >> life changing. >> reporter: the announcements paired with the biden administration's past efforts could hel

so as the moon is coming and covering the sun, bailey's beads is the rays of sun coming through those valleys on the moon's surface, on the lunar surface. then that, as it closes, you get that diamond ring. then you get totality. >> isn't it funny? we're all kind of experts for one day here. just for one day. you're the real expert. we're all jumping on the bandwagon. >> i just love being able to talk about astronomy. all astronomers beg for the chance to talk about this. that's what's exciting. >> what's exciting was the sky got really dark, right, in the path of totality. but it almost looked like a sunset here. this was incredible to see. >> well, yeah. i mean it's a complicated physics to an extent in that the blue that we see in the sky is due to the shorter wavelengths of light being scattered, which is the blue wavelengths. so when the sun was covered, what we saw is the longer wavelengths of light, the reds and the purples, and that's what we see during sunset because of the atmospheric interference as it's going down the horizon. so that's the effect that the people got to se

no spacecraft has ever come this close to the sun. >> solar probe has a really unique mission. it's really the first mission to a star. >> reporter: the mission to shed light on the sun, providing insight about the physics of stars, the dynamics of space weather and solar flares that could impact our satellite and power grids. >> until you actually go there and touch the sun, you really can't answer these questions. >> reporter: the out of this world mission ends in june 2025, and it may forever change the way we see and understand the sun from planet earth. miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. >> pretty exciting. >>> coming up next, he was walking six miles to work each way but a chance encounter put this teen's future on a much different path. the bold move he )ll make if president trump breaks the climate deal. =jan/vo= plus, pushing back last call in bars. the vote that brings california one step closer to extending the 2 am deadline. ===next close=== next. >>> finally tonight, the story of a hard-working teen who was scraping together every cent in the hope of going to

so when the moon passes in front of the sun, it exactly covers the disc of the sun. it allows us to see the atmosphere of the sun. and, that makes it really exciting for those who are in the path of totality. >> that is incredible. what are you looking for on monday? we will all see it and look at it and say that's pretty cool. are you looking for something specific? >> lyme looking for good weather. so yeah. we are looking for the ability to be able to see it. we'll have one of our telescopes set up with the special filter on it so it can view the eclipse through the telescope. we're going to have a lot of people up here at the space and science center. we will pass out eclipse glasses. we will demonstrate the other ways you can look at a solar eclipse if you don't happen to have glasses or a number of techniques that you can use. i can demonstrate a couple of them right here. one of the neat things is i'm holding up here a pasta strainer. just got a bunch of little holes in it. >> i have one of those. >> hold that up, let the sunshine through it. down onto a bright

suns across the ground. this time around, even better views is expected, coming up this monday. right now, chilly in san jose, 59 degrees. 57 in walnut creek. and more 50s, as we head over to oakland, 56 degrees. and chilly jacket weather conditions in san francisco, also at 56. now moving forward into tomorrow morning, shower chances returning in the north bay and the coast. chilly start, lows there in the 40s. highs tomorrow, about the same as we had today, upper 50s, low 60s. look at san jose, 62 degrees. upper 50s around san jose and oakland. try not to get districted by the seven-day forecast. we'll be warming up by midweek, but we have one chance of showers to deal with first, and it's coming down the coast tonight. by tomorrow morning in the north bay, the coast and some of the interior mountains, we'll see a chance of showers coming by from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. the better opportunity with the heating of the day, pops up right after lunchtime, from about 2:00 in the afternoon to 4:00. watch how thos

it's been a viral year for the sun. from the april total solar eclipse across america to the northern lights shimmering all the way down to the bay area this past october, the sun has spread light in all of our lives this year. yes, well, now our sun is back in the news. as the nasa spacecraft close approach next week. after traveling for seven years, we spoke with nasa mission scientist who describes how the parker solar probe will be able to get close to the sun and what they're hoping it finds. the sun's surface is about 4500 degrees pretty hot. but as we rise up and leave the surface of the sun, rather than cooling off, the particles become a million degrees hot. this enables the acceleration of the particles, but we do not understand the physics, the details of how this heating and acceleration takes place. the best way to do it to study it, is to send a spacecraft and actually make the measurements locally, make the magnetic make, measure the magnetic fields, measure the particles, and that will allow us to develo

right now we're looking at close live images of the sun and it was a mass ejection. >> that's right.> and we feel like we've been through most of it, is that correct? >> yes. the worst is over. >> and the worst wasn't much in terms of causing power disruptions and no power with gps. >> it was kind of a glancing blow and the magnetic field was pointed in one direction and it was the other direction that you actually care about having the big effect. >> is there a wi to predict which way it would be pointing when it comes toward us. >> that's what we're trying to figure out from this observatory is which direction will the field point when it gets to the argue, and we don't know at one point. >> we would if we had the funding and that sort of thing? >> they point in two different directions and you can model that and bring it all of the way to the earth, but it's 93 million miles and things happen in the intervening period and we try to figure out just exactly how that happened. >> the cmes as they're called and it's normal in the 11-year cycle of the sun. >> most of them are small and

for some of us, sun. all of us will see cool temperatures today and potential for thunderstorms. we're back to break it down after this. >>> welcome back. 7:43 the time. start off with a live look out across palo alto. this morning you can see clouds across the bay. we'll see cloud cover through the day because of an area of upper level low pressure sitting on top of us. even across the south bay, extensive cloud cover. the farther north, that's where you have more sunshine, san francisco, north bay, more blue sky. notice the icons across the bottom of the screen, yes, rain in the forecast for today. some of lus see thunderstorms especially across the peninsula. santa cruz mountains the best bet. down across the south bay, looking at best chance of seeing thunderstorm activity. north bay, san francisco, tri-valley, east bay, rain showers. it will be brief, whatever does come out of the sky, because the system doesn't have a lot of moisture to work with. we show you the doppler radar, a lot of the activity

this morning that sun is out in full force. it's already coming up with a special sunrise at 5:38 this morning. this is the longest day of the year and mostly clear conditions to start. temperatures warm off the bat. summer officials starts at 4:09 and as we head through tomorrow, the first official week of summer we're going to fall below our seasonal averages by 25 degrees. jet stream takes a significant dip and ushers in a series of storms and mostly pass to our north. that means for you a stronger onshore flow. foggy start and drizzle back in the forecast as of tomorrow. so dramatically changing weather between today and tomorrow. today's highs look like this. 93 degrees in places like livermore, 94 in gilroy today, 80 in santa cruz, 89 in los gatos and 66 in san francisco today. as we head through the next couple days, temperatures really, really drop off. we talk about a return of the 50s in some of your coastal city, so keep that in mind. this weekend looking comfortable inland for any sort of outdoor activities. you can

as the sun gets blocked out around 10:16, the ability of the sun to help mix dry air down and break up some of the low clouds may temporarily be on hold. and then and 10:30 to 11:00 we begin to see the clouds clear again. the moon and sun will start to separate and we'll begin to see more sunshine breaking up the low clouds by 11:00 tomorrow morning. highs tauomorrow beginning tren that began this weekend. the east bay pretty mild, 70s around the peninsula, mid 60s in san francisco and north bay upper 70s to low 80s. you see how the moisture is moving and from the see ierrasi. not really a high ridge of pressure and san francisco may finally get close to 70 again as we head toward next weekend. valley temperatures back to more august-like numbers as we see those numbers climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s. >> it is a pattern we can't get away from but i don't mind it. nice and warm on the weekends. >> president trump planning a major address tomorrow night. the particular top ic he plans o discuss. as the memorial to the victims in barcelona )s terror attack continues to grow, we )

the 69,000 seat high-tech football mecca will be powered by the sun. solar panels from here right in the bay area are now in place. we are live at levi stadium with more. >> reporter: good evening. the 49ers have talked about how much technology will be inside levi stadium, one of those technologies is solar. you're looking at the energy source for the soon to open levi's stadium. it's one of, as fate would have it, 49 giant solar frames installed by nrg on the roof of the stadium to make every 49er home game solar powered. >> when we set out to design the vision of this entire stadium, we wanted to make sure we had the best of the bay area. that's really three different things. one is to reflect the absolute great technology culture here. number two, the food culture. number three, and applicable to the environmental nature of this press release, it is to make sure that we reflect all the environmental conscious parts of the bay area. >> reporter: the stadium is full of technology and it will have lots of food, so power will be at a premium. things to

we have that sun coming in sunday as well. time change 508 so that sun is setting earlier and so far so good. on election day 68 here in san francisco and dry through next week for the inland valleys. we have 74 next tuesda. so we're we're shaping up really good. we get a little rain and we get plenty of weather to just kind of mix in there and get some sun for the weekend too. i'll try to scare you a little bit later, okay? please, please, please, i like to scare him on or around the corner. all right. some say it's impossible to fix san francisco. they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org i'm sam liccardo, and i approve this message.
