The news at 11 00 starts right now. And. Evening everyone. Were in a micro climate weather alert. The bay area bracing for a massive storm expected to hit in a few hours. You can see the storm inching towards the coast. Tracking the latest. What are we talking about time wise . Were starting to the see the first of the light rain showers. Right there you see it there approaching the north coast.
