to call 911 and report emergencies as well. >> Firefighters in the Central Valley still trying to get several wildfires under control. Cal fire says more than a thousand lightning strikes hit eastern Fresno County during a three hour span yesterday. Two grass fires have burned hundreds of acres. They are 0% contained. The sheriff's office has issued evacuation warnings for some of the people living in that area because of these fires. Now, another fire that burned 140 acres is now 80% contained. Two smaller fires have been 100% contained. >> Well, I just sent out on Twitter, get those phones ready because we have a sunrise alert here. You can't do better than this. I think on June 25th. This is spectacular with these tropical clouds over us here. Look at that off. I know you're listening. You're not watching, but you'll see it. Well, I'll tell you. It's going to be a day scattered showers, lightning already been detected so far. About three lightning strikes, at least locally. Bigger fog bank tomorrow. I think the. We'll get back to a more normal pattern Thursday into Friday. Brian Garcia already had some light rain sprinkles yesterday and this morning we've had some in Santa Clara and that is correct. We'll go right down to San Jose, Santa Clara, and you can see a couple of these little cells zipping by producing some light rain right there. Do do do . So that is producing some sprinkles. The big news though has been the lightning so far, you can see some out towards, Solano County coming up here in just right there. Looks like around Fairfield. Also Vacaville had one over a look like rodeo, but boy, yesterday it was all lit up over Fresno. This is the remains of Tropical Storm Alberto which hit Mexico and Texas yesterday. Got caught the remains of that got caught around that high. And that's funneling in a lot of this moisture. Now, that system to the northwest should start to scour it out by tomorrow as you get more of a west southwest breeze. But a lot of tropical clouds over us, occasional showers, thundershowers. So, you know, tropical field no doubt today there's one lightning strike. There's a couple more that are up here around Fairfield and also Vacaville. So again, this is probably be with us most of the day right there. A couple of them around Vacaville and the activity that was over Fresno. Yeah. Look at Yosemite, mammoth, Bishop Fresno that was lit up. So we have a little bit of activity here and some concerns of course, with lightning strikes and fire concerns. This should push out of here tomorrow from that system to the north. But could be a little bit of activity here. Not only locally out to the valley and also in the mountains. So if you're going up to the Sierra, keep an eye on things here. So tropical Tuesday mostly cloud
