southern oregon. this is a strong solarstorm, towards the top of the scale. then it is possible that it could overachieve. it is tricky and pushing it farther down to the south into california so, get away from the bay area urban lights, get out into darkness, find high elevation spots and see what you can see. it will not be as intense tomorrow and sunday. how do they form in the first place? a taste of it during the story but has to do with the earth's magnetic field and the solarwind. the matter ejected, travels on the solarwind. as it travels along it follows the earth's magnetic field and follows it to the weakest point, near the north pole and south pole, it interacts with the stuff in our atmosphere, ox fen and nitrogen and those are what energize the particles and displays different colors depending what they are interacting with and how high up in the atmosphere

7:17 pm
of upper 80s and lower 90s. those temperatures, 17-18 degrees above normal. middle 80s around it. middle 60s for the coast and half moon bay. the breeze will keep you from warming up far into the 60s. more of a factor for san francisco as well. 67 on saturday, the city got up to the upper 70s today, not the case today. warm, the fog slowing it down so you will not be as warm as other parts of inland bay area. in terms of the heat risk, moderate, it is only the second category. it means that you really have to ondo it to be in any trouble with the temperatures reaching up to around 90 degrees in the hottest parts of the bay area. as we wind the clock forward, you will notice the moderate heat risk disappears from the map. the hottest day tomorrow, not setting records with the temperatures out of reach for the record highs tomorrow. we will be 9-12 degrees short of the record territory by saturday afternoon. the
