some pretty good shower activity earlier in the day, but it tapered off and became very spotty and isolated. and here's why. here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. we have a plume of pacific moisture that's just pounding the pacific northwest, including northernmost part of california. some of those showers are working their way down into the bay area as they have been over the last 24 hours. but they really haven't amounted to very much. and right now, we see green patches indicating moisture in the atmosphere. that is for the most part not hitting the ground, but isolated showers are still a possibility during the overnight hours. the wind is pretty calm across much of the area right now and it's a little bit milder by a few degrees than at this time last night. six degrees milder in fairfield, seven degrees warmer in novato and so on. we go to a live view from our exploratorium camera looking at partly cloudy skies over san francisco where it's currently 57 degrees. we had mid 50s at oakland mountain view, san jose, 53 at palo alto, 57 at half moon bay. and we have calm conditions right now in emeryville under partly cloudy skies. other temperature

readings 56 at both santa rosa and napa. upper 50s at novato, fairfield, concord and 53 at livermore. and looking across the embarcadero where it's dry from our rooftop camera. these are our forecast headlines scattered showers are still possible tonight mainly the north bay. the remainder of the bay area is not likely to receive any precipitation. isolated north bay showers are possible again tomorrow, mainly in the early part of the day. and we can expect milder weather next week with some chances of rain for tonight going into the overnight hours. the forecast animation looks like this. lots of clouds. and notice little patches of showers moving through the north bay. in fact, through the northern most part of our viewing area. generally north of santa rosa, is where we can expect showers going into the morning hours. so clouds will linger tomorrow. skies will be bright. there'll be some sunshine burning through, but it is not out of the question. we could see an isolated shower or two rainfall estimates daetz by 11:00 tomorrow night. not very significant at all. mainly 100th

to two hundredths of an inch as about all we can expect. and there's light snow in the sierra from the same system bringing us light rain about 1 to 2in by 11:00 tomorrow night. overnight low temperatures tonight, upper 40s to low 50s highs. tomorrow will be mainly in the low to mid 60s around the bay shoreline and inland on the coast, mainly low 60s. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see, monday and tuesday will be mainly sunny, mainly bright. i should say a few clouds around and really mild high temperatures in the upper 60s both around the bay shoreline and inland. both of those days i wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 inland areas hit 70 on monday or tuesday. wednesday it cools down a little bit. clouds increase. there's a chance of rain, pretty good chance of rain. in fact, on wednesday, thursday, a slight chance of rain, but it's going to get sharply cooler. and next friday and saturday, we'll have bright skies, dry conditions, but highs will reach only about 60 degrees next friday and saturday. so some cool pre winter weather is coming out. >> definitely a different

pattern. >> yeah, absolutely. >> by the way, i spent your entire forecast trying to think of a pun that would match yours. ask me maybe in another half hour. >> you didn't weather the storm very. >> no. oh, my gosh. >> i don't know what precipitated this. >> go ahead. we got a good one. >> thank you. you. >> still ahead tonight on abc seven. the warriors know a thing or two about assists and they are handing them out right now. we'll take a look at their holiday both simple and life-changing. what's not a choice? addiction to opioids like fentanyl. but even with opioid use disorder, you still have a choice. by choosing treatment, you choose family,

>> sugar bowl is in a prime spot for making snow using snow gun technology. they're able to build up a base on the terrain before other locations, though, levels are lower than this time last year. meanwhile, other resorts are delaying their opening tomorrow as they wait on more snow on the slopes in the weeks to come. well i'll be patient. yeah, we are on that pattern. it feels like definitely cooler here. and i mean rainy with the precipitation. yeah, that's true. >> and we've got that atmospheric river out there right now. but most of the moisture is going to our north, but it will eventually drop down and bring us more rain and more snow to the sierra. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see a few isolated showers just sort of trickling through the bay area right now. mainly in the north bay. so for tonight, mostly cloudy, maybe a shower or two up north overnight lows will be in the upper 40s to low 50s tomorrow. still a chance of an isolated shower or two in the north bay. not likely anywhere else in the bay area. highs tomorrow under partly cloudy, partly sunny conditions will be mainly in the low to mid

60s. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast monday and tuesday. bright and dry days and pretty mild to high temperatures in the upper 60s inland and even mid to upper 60s around the bay shoreline gets a little bit cooler and cloudier on wednesday . we expect some rain on wednesday. right now it's hard to say how great a chance there is a lingering chance of showers on thursday. but look at the cooldown at the end of the week. we go from upper 60s, early in the week to only about 60 degrees in the afternoon on friday and saturday. so it's going to be pleasant weather, but it's going to be much cooler than what we expect the next few days. >> that forecast makes me forget it's december here. >> i know. i know. it's going to feel kind of spring like early in the week. >> it'll feel like december later. >> oh, again, just wait. yeah. spencer, thanks. let's get to chris again with another preview of sports. hi, chris. >> hi, deon. coming up in sports, we go around the country for some championship saturday highlights. plus 49 ers eagles. the rematch, how the niners can make a statement in south philly tomorrow. sports is next
