same time, and we learned a lot of those messages certainly did reach their intended targets. that's what the early data shows. but many did not. at exactly 10:00 a.m. today emergency leaders in sonoma county activated the first of five wireless emergency alerts, sending a tone and text to five different parts of the county. then the real work started. county to see where they landed. >> i got a noise on my phone, it buzzed. it said test alert sonoma county. i think it's great we're testing it. i think it's something that was desperately needed during the wildfires. >> reporter: in rosewood the text appeared to hit the mark in english and spanish. >> i think the county has listened to the community and they've taken note and they've learned some lessons from the devastating fires. >> reporter: users wither phones and government text notifications turned on should have gotten the alert similar to an amber alert. but that didn't happen every time. we put out six phones on three

managers with a better picture of what still needs work. and now that the county has had a chance to identify where the problem spots were they say they will use the data from today's tests to put pressure on the fcc and wireless carriers to help improve these alerts to make them more accurate and reliable in an emergency. in sonoma county i'm vicky nguyen, nbc bay area news. >> vicky, thank you. well, it's taken a turn for the worse. hurricane florence is now expected to stall and jog south. meaning the carolina coastline could see 24 hours of hurricane conditions including catastrophic flooding and a life-threatening storm surge. millions of americans are impacted. let's bring in janelle wang who joins us with the very latest. >> reporter: the storm has weakfriend a category 4 hurricane to a category 3, but people are not taking any chances getting out of town. you can see the beaches, the streets. they are deserted. about 1.7 million people under

water damage. >> it's got wide open spaces. is that not a good thing? >> well, not for privacy. >> reporter: san jose doesn't appear to be discouraged. late this afternoon the city' council's rule committee voted to fast track the project. mayor sam liccardo is not deterred by in asayers since much of the funding obligation and pressure is on donors. >> i think there's probably an easy way to figure that out, which is put the risk on those who want to try. >> they've been at a crisis point for a long time with unhoused people and we need to think outside of the box. we can't diehl keep telling people to wait. >> reporter: the board of supervisors will take a vote on september 25th to decide whether to actually demolish this building. county executive smith says he hopes at that time the county will get some direction on building a new, more appropriate homeless facility. in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, robert. let's bring in jeff ranieri.

let's talk about the cooler temperature. i was out at 6:00 a.m. this morning, i was wearing a jacket. it was chilly outside. >> is this a good thing or a bad thing for you guys? >> iik >> i know you like the heat. >> could we rewind it two months? >> that's a picture where a lot of us still want another week of 90s and 100s and others want 60s and 70s. so we're in that transitional time. appropriately so. because fall begins not this saturday but next saturday. so it's starting to feel a little bit more like that outside. you can see some high clouds passing on by here throughout the tri-valley. a little bit of a breeze after 76 in livermore today we're down to a much cooler 63 degrees, and as jessica mentioned she was a little bit chilly this morning. you're going to find those chillier temperatures coming back once we hit tomorrow morning and lots of 50s. the main reason why we've seen this abrupt shift in the weather from the 80s to also 90s is the system out here offshore.

as this continues to develop over the next three days, it will keep cooler temperatures in place, clouds at times, and also some areas of fog at the immediate coastline. so for those of us across the bay area, we might need a light jacket here as you begin tomorrow morning. i still think we'll have some rays of sunshine kind of pushing on through the clouds. but also we do expect a little bit of that cloud cover. 57 in the south bay, 56 in the peninsula and the tri-valley at 58. over to the east bay, 57 degrees and san francisco begins with 54 and you're up one degree here in the north bay and 55. we'll warm up tomorrow. it's just not a whole lot. you'll see across the south bay it will feel more like fall here down across downtown san jose with 73 degrees. our mildest is gilroy at 77. over to the east bay, we had a lot of mid 90s this past weekend. so much more refreshing. you're at 77 tomorrow in pittsburgh. 75 in livermore. 73 in martinez. go anywhere near the bay, oakland and hayward, you're in the 60s.

also, taking it down to the 60s for redwood city, 69 tomorrow. san mateo 67. san francisco, plenty of low to mid 60s from the marina down through the mission, and right through marin, napa, sonoma county. a lot of 70s from mill valley to ukia right back to napa's forecast. so really no complaints as we hit thursday, but we know the situation is hurricane florence course of utmost importance. this right now is a category 3. landfall is still expected sometime as we hit friday morning. winds of 115 miles per hour near wrightsville beach. maybe a second landfall near myrtle beach as a category 1, winds of 80. it will linger right through sunday into columbia. so thursday to sunday impacts here across the carolinas. this will mean 5 to 20 inches of rain. flooding of course. storm surge 5 to 13 feet. and it's because of that storm surge that they have evacuations at the coast. we'll be covering it at nbc bay

area.com. you can count on us. san francisco's forecast the next seven days, we are in the 60s, on again off again cloud cover, and for the inland valleys we're putting it on cruise control the next couple of days. looks very nice asupcoming week. >> that looks gorgeous. thanks, jeff. up next, the season opener didn't go quite as planned for the 49ers. so what are the changes they're going to make for this sunday? colin resch gets us ready for the 49ers' home opener.

here's nbc bay area's colin resch in santa clara. >> we know we didn't play nearly to our best of our ability, and we that a possession away from winning the game. that's something to take home. >> and home is where the 49ers will find themselves this sunday when they host detroit. injuries certainly a factor in their 24-16 loss to minnesota in week one. marquise goodwin, he went down. so did mike pern garnett. which meant top draft pick offensive tackle mike mcglinchey forced to play almost half the game at guard, a position he hasn't played for a long, long time. >> fifth or sixth grade with the boxmark saints back when i was in grade school. and playing o line at all five positions are the same in grade school. so i didn't really learn too much about how to play guard. >> reporter: but mcglinchey filled in admirably, as did

rookie donte petis who caught his first career touchdown pass and linebacker fred warner who registered a team-high tackle that included a forced fumble. >> productionwise i had a really good game. but i feel after i watched the tape i could have done a lot of things way better o'. i'm looking forward to doing that this game. >> quarterback jimmy garoppolo looking forward to cutting down the turnovers. three interceptions against the vikings. but if you listen to his head coach, don't expect jimmy g. to flip the conservative switch in week two. >> what you don't want is someone who isn't sure and they're scared to get blaimz blamed, so they just sit there and take a sack. that's really hard to win when you have that unless you depend on everyone else. you always want a quarterback who believes in himself, has the confidence to do it, and isn't scared of the result if it doesn't work. >> reporter: at levi's stadium in santa clara colin resch, nbc bay area. coming up tonight at 11:00, they're certainly attracting atension. a controversial ad by a holocaust denial group that's popped up at two b.a.r.t. stations.
