11:20 pm
cool down because as i show you live doppler seven, the satellite radar image, we have this area of low pressure spinning off the coast. this is going to bring us increase in clouds and cooler temperatures, and then some light rain possible. on monday, a live view though from mount tam shows these beautiful, clear conditions as we look south towards san francisco and all those pretty sparkling lights. currently it's 58, in san francisco, oakland 55, hayward 57. san jose's also 58. cooler in san mateo at 54, and half moon bay already in the upper 40s from emeryville. we're looking across the bay and in santa rosa it's 50. we're seeing some 40s elsewhere. petaluma 45, napa 49, fairfield 46, concord 52. livermore 49 degrees. so here's what you need to know. the headlines as we look from sutro down towards san francisco tomorrow. it's going to be cooler with more clouds. and then on monday, that's when we see the light showers move through the bay area, mainly south of the golden gate bridge.
11:21 pm
then the end of next week. i want to bring your attention to that because that's when we have a colder storm and more significant rainfall. so not quite over yet, but i hope you enjoyed the nice break today. lows generally will be in the upper 40s to low 50s tonight when you wake up tomorrow morning. san francisco 50, oakland 49, san jose 48. a little cooler in some of the inland valleys like livermore, lakeport, 45 degrees. and then tomorrow afternoon, we're not going to see the 70s mostly low to mid 60s for everyone with those cooler conditions, san francisco will be six c, one oakland 63 for the black joy parade. san jose 69. that will be one of the warmest spots. so at the beaches on the cooler side, upper 50s to near 60. so the futurecast shows those clouds moving in tomorrow will be under partly cloudy skies. and then after that comes some of the rain moving in around midday and then clearing out by monday night. so rainfall amount is kind of measly. generally
11:22 pm
under about a 10th of an inch for most spots. in fact, some areas may not get any rain at all north of the golden gate bridge in the north bay, so we're well above normal for many areas for rainfall, but oakland could still use a bit more rain. we're only at 89% of normal year to date, so here's a system that's heading our way towards the end of next week. this is a colder storm dropping in from alaska, and it's probably going to give us some rain around thursday afternoon. it will continue friday into saturday day and this will bring us anywhere from an inch to maybe an inch and a half of rain. so this is the one we'll keep an eye on. and keep you updated. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so a lovely end to our weekend. although temperatures will be coming down by about 5 to 10 degrees compared to today's highs. still enjoyable then breezy conditions with some light showers. monday afternoon. you saw how light it was, maybe
11:23 pm
a 10th of an inch bright out and a chilly start on tuesday. so a couple dry days before your you got to get the umbrellas out again thursday and then it's looking wet friday into saturday will probably be the heaviest rain, so next weekend much cooler and rainy once again. >> all right. well, you know what? it was a great day while it lasted. >> yeah, i enjoyed it too. >> me too. all right. frances, thank you. we'll go on and take the plunge. the good cause that people helped out today by wading into the frigid waters of san francisco bay

11:54 pm
to sixth in the west, avoid the play in games. is that realistic? >> i really think it do right. i really think it is because i think when you look at where the warriors are right now with the injuries they have with all of the different challenges they have over the course of the year, so far, and now they having everybody coming back and they've been playing demonstratively better. and i think it's been one of the underwritten story. but i think the passage of the trade deadline has kind of freed them up even more. they look like they know they're all going to be here and they're committed to it. now whether or not they go from 10 to 6, obviously it will depends on how the other team plays. but i think in terms of the mindset, i think they have the right mindset and the people are being in place. i think they have a chance. larry. >> yeah, and a few years ago, you know, the slogan was strength in numbers. everybody's getting healthy now. and chris paul is included in that group. he's coming back from a broken hand. the expectation is he will be on the court again sometime in this upcoming road trip for the warriors. what do you think his impact will be given? you
11:55 pm
know, the pattern of losing close games down the stretch. he's pretty secure with the ball, but also where his minutes going to come from. >> yeah i know you know one of the worry larry, is that you worry about the younger guys. you think it's important to have the younger guys out there. and i agree. but where i think that chris paul can help the warriors is that if you think of him as just helping out steph and klay and really creating some minutes there while giving them opportunity for the younger guys to continue to play, i think that's going to be crucial. i'm not saying it's going to be an easy kind of needle to thread, but i think, you know, coach uh- coach is getting the big bucks so he could do this. he could he could kind of tread that needle right down there, make sure he gets the best out of chris paul, but also continue to see the growth of the younger players. yes >> steve kerr's contract rather impressive 17.5 million a year. uh- warriors and nuggets tomorrow afternoon. early start. just give everybody a heads up on that 4 p.m. at chase center. o'donnell thanks, chris. back to
11:56 pm
you. >> thanks, larry. do not be late to the warriors game tomorrow. last night, the warriors and hornets got heated at the end of the game. miles bridges took exception to lester quinones getting up a last second layup. well, the warriors trying not to turn over the ball. still time on the clock. the warriors won the game by 13. afterwards draymond green weighing in on those final moments with 245. >> we took our stars out. go sit down. it's over. the game is over. go sit down. they didn't want to go sit down. so if y'all still playing then play. don't stop now because it's 22 seconds left and you finally feel like it's out of reach. clearly we thought it was out of reach at 245, which is why steve took everybody out. i'm really sick of guys with this. like oh, you scored at the end. rah! like bro, you should have did that a long time ago. >> you guys should always keep playing and to me it's very strange why that would be offensive to anybody. i've never understood why that would be offensive. and as i said nobody's ever been upset with us in the past for doing that. um, i just why why take a turnover?
11:57 pm
why what's, you know, the clock says keep playing, you keep playing. and that that shouldn't offend anybody. >> chris paul will be making his return to the court soon. last night, cp three made a big impact off the court. he met with 20 guests from 100% college prep. it's a program of bay view association for youth, giving academic resources for 8 to 12 graders in san francisco. paul has been a long time supporter of hbcus. he offered some words of encouragement along with handing out some nice gear. abc seven sports, sponsored by river rock casino lauren. >> well, that's it for tonight. i'm lauren martinez, abc seven news continues tomorrow morning at five for francis and chris. at five for francis and chris. thank you for joining us now with a sweet new twist - cinnamon sugar churro.
