the first one a magnitude 5.8 happened at 8:39 a.m., 100 miles from fern dale in humboldt county. the second wakt a 5.0 hit less than an hour later. no reports of damage. enchts mean the long awaited early earthquake warning system is one step closer to deployment. but it might take another three to seven years for cell phone alerts. mobile networks are currently too slow when the seconds count. that leaves the u.s. behind japan, turkey and other countries which already have national alert systems. >> the other systems in the world were built after large damaging and in many cases high fatality events. and those earthquakes produced the political will to invest in building an early warning capability. >> full deployment is also hindered by a lack of funding of course. it's expensive. the required network of more than 1600 sensor stations monitoring the seismic activity is only half built at this point. let's talk more weather. straej day today. what's coming tomorrow and through the meteorology. our meteorologist is here. sandy. >>> it's going to be quieter than what we've seen to

surveillance cameras caught a waterspout over humboldt bay. moving through the marina before breaking up after a mint or so. you can see the mist rise from the water and move across the screen. there are no reports of any damage from that storm. but certainly a fascinating glimpse into what happened. we had strange weather all day all around the bay area but things calmed down consider by. the weekend is here. sandhya patel has the forecast. >>> we're not seeing the cold unstable air that caused the waterspout return in the bay area. that caused the hail yesterday. snow from the higher efrlgss and showers along with thunder. i want to show you the time laps worth just watching over and over again. so what was left of yesterday's storm along with the heating from the sun created these reheated left overs if you will over mount diebold o this afternoon. as we head to the weekend ewe see the combination of sun and clouds particularly tomorrow and britter skies going into sunday. i want to show you live doppler 7 right now. skies pretty much clear
