8:48 am
fourth quarter curry scored 12 straight points in one stretch. the crazy layup to get the dubs within 130 points on the night for steph with 24 seconds left. this is pure guts draymond green hooping with gp2 what a pass what a finish 139 138 dubs okc shoots 60% and loses because tied at 139. you know it's going to steph high off the window first they called offensive interference on draymond so they waved off the basket then they replayed it said good basket warriors jumping for joy 141 139 as you can question the gimmicky tournament stuff, but the players seem to be all in so playoff game and it was fun game to play in the intensity level. >> was there so job well done to the nba and this type of excitement in november because it'd be some dark days in november. >> meanwhile in milwaukee, this fan wins ten grand if he hits from half court. he does and doesn't stop running. he's like bo jackson running up the

tunnel. i hope he stopped long enough to get his check. just venmo the money. i'm out. that is awesome. city of oakland not giving up in its quest to keep the a's. they've got a rally planned for city hall on tuesday. they'll also send major league baseball owners in packets about the fervent fan base here, all trying to convince them not to approve a team move to vegas. abc seven's casey pratt sat down and spoke with oakland mayor shengtao and get this part. >> casey. over 400 million is the grant funding that we were able to actually confirm for this investment. and yet this is more than what john fisher has ever invested into the team. >> finally, the texas rangers celebrated their very first world series title with a huge parade crowd, estimated around 500,000, saluting ex-giants skipper bruce bochy, who took a team that lost 100 games just two years ago. now world series champs botuese fourth ring after winning three with the giants.
8:50 am
happy to see his success. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> thanks, larry. well, today, nearly 2000 people will participate in the 2023 walk to end alzheimer's here in san francisco. you can do either a one mile walk along the embarcadero or a two and a half mile route. the money raised goes for research and to support those caring for someone with alzheimer's. registration opens at 9 a.m. on pier 27. so just about ten minutes from now, followed by an opening ceremony at 10:00. the walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. and our very own abc7 mornings anchor reggie aqui will be the emcee for the event. so look out for reggie. hopefully he's in a purple jacket. lisa because it's cloudy out there. >> yes, we have a mix of clouds and sun on the way today and some dense fog in the north bay, but some sunshine elsewhere. so throughout the day temperatures will warm through the 60s down town of park rye from yesterday's upper 70s, but still
8:51 am
a nice day. partly cloudy skies. this system is to the north of us, so we are getting some clouds from it. it's a colder second system that will bring some measurable rain our way a little bit tomorrow. more likely for everyone the early monday morning commute. so we'll roll you through the next several days. but right now, live doppler seven, picking up on some cloudiness and a lot of low clouds in the north bay. and this is where the fog is at its worst. so you can see santa rosa can't see anything at all. a quarter mile visibility in novato. the fog is down along the coast, half moon bay but it gets more compressed so that's why visibility is better elsewhere and in the south bay you can see some of the fog there. but san jose on the mild side with 58 degrees, it is 57 in mountain view, 59 half moon bay. what a beautiful view from mount tam. but we have the layered clouds very mild readings in the 60s at 2000ft, 3000ft, we're in the low to mid 60s. so that inversion is with
8:52 am
us. but we are looking at those warmer temperatures to start out the morning and then finishing cooler than we were yesterday. temperatures in the upper 50s in our inland valleys, 56 in concord. so a 24 hour temperature change anywhere from two degrees warmer to three degrees warmer. but some areas will certainly be cooler later on today. while we're still mild in our inland valleys, there's a look at pier 39, kind of quiet out there, but a pretty start to your weekend. so the dense fog advisory through 10:00 in the north bay, some spotty light showers arrive for your sunday. and looking at that sunset today, 607 tomorrow, 506. here is the cloud cover throughout the day today, partly cloudy at times and looking right on through the afternoon. we do stay dry into your sunday. a few spotty showers while you're sleeping. and then by the afternoon it's thickening clouds and mainly dry day. and then stopping this early monday morning where this next system
8:53 am
arrives, bringing in some measurable rain. and in fact, we will be favoring the north bay. but it's out of here by late in the morning hours. so throughout your sunday afternoon, maybe a couple hundredths and then into monday night, we're anywhere from a few hundredths to maybe a quarter of an inch to a third of an inch up in yountville, upper elevations in the sierra nevada will see a couple inches of high elevation snow. this is the trend for the week ahead. warmest today, cooler tomorrow. and then we are really looking at some chilly numbers with overnight lows back to winter time in the look ahead, 78in livermore, 74in santa rosa. look for 70 on the peninsula and the accuweather seven day forecast. so today mild to start cooler afternoon. that extra hour of sleep tonight a level one system with spotty showers tomorrow more rain monday morning and then very fall like the rest of next week. >> yeah certainly will feel like it and we'll keep a close eye of course on that monday morning commute. right. all right, lisa, thank you. well, a reminder that
