around san francisco. in fact, i saw one this morning. we're talking about cruise self-driving cars. well, a new report claims they're not as autonomous as previously thought at the new york times claims the cars need human intervention every 2.525 miles, while driving in san francisco, cruise came under scrutiny over recent high profile accidents involving pedestrians and emergency vehicles as the company was forced to pause its autonomous testing after the california dmv revoked its permits just last month. at least i didn't know what to do when i saw it this morning. you know, i kind of peak in almost wave, but usually there's no one inside. >> yeah, exactly right. you always want to say sort of make sure. all right. good morning, everybody. from emeryville looking at all that cloud cover, the clouds stacked up and some fog south of us. there's some rain to the north here, here. but it will get a little bit more widespread as we get through the next 24 to 30 hours. i'll explain and track a couple level one systems coming up

a full sunrise this morning. we're looking at the dixie and you can see it's a little breezy there. the american flag moving in the wind and a bit choppy on the water. time now, 644 on the basket ball court. the warriors are one and zero in the nba in season tournament. and today they continue regular season play against the cleveland cavaliers in hopes of continuing their five game win streak. abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez has your morning sports. >> good morning. it is the final month of pac 12 football with the conference dissolving after next season. cal head coach justin wilcox. he's an oregon native and duke alum and saturday was the last scheduled meeting between cal and oregon. plenty of emotions to be sure. could he leave rainy eugene with a win? cal picked off oregon on the very first play, but fernando mendoza giving it right back hit as he throws and that's

an interception. cal playing their fourth straight ranked team and you cannot make mistakes like that. oregon's bo nix taking advantage to tez johnson, 48 yards. he speeds to the house seven nothing ducks at home late first quarter oregon up 14 three and now a ducks turnover they mistime the snap ball bounces off the man in motion and cal's noel williams that's a scoop and score for cal down 1410 they got it within a point 1413 but oregon scored three times inside the final 5.5 minutes of the second quarter. nix accounted for six touchdowns as oregon rolls 63 to 19. cal is three and six with three games to go. stanford on the palouse to face wazoo and a crowd surfing cougar. a lot of fun there. rough game though. stanford trailed seven at the half third quarter balls rolls right off a receiver and right into scottie edwards hands and stanford in business that's a wild play for the turnover backup quarterback justin lamson he's going to pound it in from a yard out to tie things up at

seven in and here we go, fourth quarter the cardinal managed one more drive and joshua karty kicked the eventual game winner from 41 yards out and stanford wins 10 to 7, improving to three and six. all three of their wins have come on the road. the warriors have won five straight games. they're a perfect four and oh on the road. remember they didn't win their fourth road game last season until mid-january. and thanks in part to the splash brothers hitting the game winners with 0.2 seconds to go. first. on wednesday, warriors down one klay thompson buries the jumper with 0.2 seconds to go to beat the kings at home. and then friday night on the road in okc game tied stephen curry dribble drive and got it to go with 0.2 left to beat the thunder now that play originally called basket interference on draymond green but after review determined he grabbed the rim and didn't touch the ball so you can count the basket friday night's win also golden state's first in the new nba cup in season tournament. >> i think everybody's trying to get off to good starts you know

during the year the ncaa tournament vibe and the court change and all that just added a little extra energy to it. >> so playoff game and it was fun game to play in the intensity level. was there so job well done to the nba adding this type of excitement in november because it'd be some dark days in november. >> sharks hosting longtime shark erik karlsson the penguins san jose still looking for their first win of the season. pittsburgh scored 90s in and a lot more after that. sidney crosby leaving it for chris letang and that is too easy made it six one at that point. for the first time ever, the sharks gave up ten goals in consecutive games, ten to the final. they're now oh ten and one. that is your look at sports. have a great morning. let's send it back to you. >> thanks, chris. lisa, i can't believe we have to wait another week before the niners play again next sunday. they're playing the jaguars. >> yeah, well, maybe they need to practice a little. oops. i didn't say that. live doppler seven. right here. a couple of

systems headed our way. the first one kind of priming the atmosphere, a few sprinkles out there. and the second one beginning tomorrow morning in the north bay. more widespread rain and as we get in a little bit closer, you'll see maybe just a few light sprinkles here and there from fremont. trace amounts up towards napa into the east bay and gray sky here in san jose. temperatures are mild in the upper 50s. it is 58. san francisco and oakland, 59. mountain view, san jose and a look from our pier 39 camera where it is certainly quiet, cloudy out there. just a couple of hundredths expected here as well. but still any rain we get it's welcome rain and we are certainly turning a corner for leaving those very warm temperatures behind those 70s and 80s throughout the entire upcoming workweek, 61 by the delta. it is 60 in concord with 58 in santa rosa. and finally from the north bay, mt. tam, temperatures in the 50s, a much cooler day here. so cloudy

skies, spotty light showers today. we'll see a little bit of that rain increase towards about 11 to 12:00 and then on and off throughout the day. then rain more widespread throughout the north bay early tomorrow. it holds together as it sinks to the south and then we'll see lesser amounts east and into the south bay. cool and dry weather to follow that come tuesday, wednesday, even into thursday. so there's a look at what we're expecting. very light showers right on through the day here. so we are calling them spotty hit or miss, but they will add up to a couple hundredths. and then the early morning commute looking at more moderate rain in the north bay from that 7 to 8:00 timeframe. and then it begins to sink to the south and east across emeryville and oakland into san francisco and south city, 9:00 and then throughout the early afternoon, it clears the east bay and south bay. still only a couple hundredths there where the emphasis will be on the north bay and perhaps along the peninsula here. 3:00 on tuesday,

we are stuck with the clouds and a cool afternoon, maybe a lingering shower in the morning. i'm looking at the rainfall amounts here through 11:00 tonight. notice very little, but still you'll notice them out there. and then as we get into your 8:00 monday night, we've got anywhere from a 10th, maybe a third up in the north bay. and then you can see down through the santa cruz mountains, a couple of hundreds there. it's a cool day for your monday afternoon. some of the breezier winds with the passage of the cold front early afternoon. then by tuesday, mid and upper 60s, that's near average. wednesday looks to be one of the milder days. a few 70s coming into play today. we'll look for those upper 60s. a few light showers, a few low 70s. looks like mid 70s for the south bay and the accuweather seven day forecast level one system today the stronger one for your monday. then it's a cool midweek with those potentially freezing cold mornings and then by friday another opportunity for a bit of light rain. >> all right so we'll keep a

close eye on the morning commute tomorrow, of course, but especially for the north bay. sounds like. yeah. all right. thanks, lisa. well, a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming all that food for 5 bucks. -that's my go to. -oooh - that's my ride or die. hah... just like you and me... bag boys. ♪ bag boys, whatcha gonna do ♪ -don't... ♪ whatcha gonna do when we bring your food ♪ -don't... do it... you can always bet on biggie. and now earn free food when ordering on the wendy's app. deep breath. you c cancer is a journeygie. you don't take alone. you did it! our cancer care team works together to care for all that is you.

♪ vive en el estado dorado ♪ our natural habitats. now it's sparking a new proposal from researchers at stanford for california's coast and beyond. here's abc seven's spencer christian with the story. >> the stunning marine sanctuaries that dot the california coast are critical for the continued health of ocean species. areas like the gulf of the farallones cordell bank and monterey bay. but if we think of them as massive cities in the sea, new research is suggesting we may also need something smaller in the future, maybe closer to a string of

airbnbs for conservation because species are moving from these areas, uh- larvae are drifting through ocean currents near arafat. jamal is a marine conservation scientist at stanford's outdoor school of sustainability. his work includes documenting a severe marine heat wave off the coast of mexico. the kind of event that can both threaten marine habitats and push species to migrate. >> and, you know, as climate change is happening, species are moving. they're kind of shifting a little bit. they're distribution. >> but right now we've seen about ten of these what appears to be juvenile white sharks in the area. >> recently, the abc seven climate team profiled the unexpected appearance of juvenile great white sharks in monterey bay, much farther north than their normal nursing habitats of southern california, while a similar northward migration by the predatory california market, squid impacted salmon populations in the gulf of alaska. a fellow stanford doha researcher, larry

crowder, studies marine food chains. >> the data show that marine animals are moving poleward in the northern hemisphere to the north in the summer, southern hemisphere to the south. and that's thought to be related to long term trends in climate. >> in this most recent study, the stanford team identified areas off the coast of california and mexico that might act as safe zones, many containing healthy kelp forests or other habitats. we have this amazing data set in california, but also in mexico based on satellite that maps kelp forests in the past 40 years. >> so there are places that the satellite always detect that the kelp is there. >> the goal now to possibly turn the areas into an international string of migration sanctuaries, a pathway where species on the move could easily check in and check out as they adjust to changes and fluctuations brought by climate change. spencer christian, abc seven news. >> well, this is a fun story. a

chicago man visiting the florida keys sent a new record and took first place in the keys. fisheries stone crab eating contest on saturday. and get this, contestants had to crack and eat 25 of the tasty stone crab claws and pick them completely clean in the fastest time. sounds like a pretty good deal to me. millicent set a new contest record. that is, with a final time of ten minutes and 17 seconds. congrats to millicent and lisa. i'm thinking about how many crazy crab sandwiches that would make. i knew you were thinking of that. >> yeah. yes. you really efficient with that? i know. all right, good morning, everybody. we're looking at a timeline here for some spotty showers today. this is your sunday. and then for your monday, a more organized cold front will bring in cooler air, more widespread rain. and this will take us through the first part of monday. so the accuweather seven day forecast clouds cooler a few spotty showers tomorrow from the north bay sinking south. is that

rainfall and then you'll see that temperatures will be near seasonal averages in the 60s to near 70. see another chance of rain for friday. >> all right. we need to give yourself a few extra minutes tomorrow. good idea. all right. well, thanks for joining us on abc7 mornings. i'm stephanie sierra along with lisa argen abc7 news continues at 9 a.m. have a great day. >> this is abc. 724 >> live in san francisco, live in the south bay in san jose in concord. live in oakland. yes. you're watching abc seven news live anytime anywhere. we are. we are. we are. we are. we are. we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you. download our abc7 bay area
