san mateo 60, san jose 65. that's our warm spot, at least on this panel. and 57 degrees at half moon bay. looking at blue sky over the golden gate. other temperature readings right now. mid to upper 50s up north at petaluma and santa rosa. napa is at a even 60 degrees and we have mid 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. let's check out our forecast headlines tonight. we'll see clouds increasing tomorrow. light scattered showers. but there will be some wet spots for the morning and perhaps even the evening commute. end of the week. it's going to be rainy, breezy and chilly, so let's move along and take a look at what's coming our way with the next storm. on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale, this is a light level one storm for tomorrow. we expect scattered showers, rainfall totals under a 10th of an inch. most locations, and breezy conditions as well. so forecast animation starting at 10 p.m. shows clouds increasing overnight and some spotty showers developing in the early morning hours. just as the morning commute gets underway around 5 a.m. or so, and that pattern will continue for scattered showers through the morning into the afternoon. and

finally, we'll see the showers winding down in the early evening hours. so by 10:00 tomorrow night, it should be all over with rainfall totals not only under a 10th of an inch, but in many locations under five hundredths of an inch. so not a very wet storm. uh- overnight lows generally in the mid to upper 40s, so a little cooler than the last couple of nights have been highs tomorrow. certainly cooler than today. upper 50s to about 6061 degrees. some inland locations may reach 62 concord, antioch, maybe 63 at fairfield and here is the accuweather seven day forecast level one storm tomorrow. giving way to sunny skies on tuesday and wednesday. not much of a warm up there. maybe a few degrees. then it cools down again on thursday and in fact it gets cooler. wetter and just kind of drearier from thursday through the weekend. high temperatures by saturday will barely reach into the low to mid 50s. wow so it's going to feel like winter and it's going to be wet. you know, after the

droughts we had, i said i would never complain about weather or rain, but but yeah yeah you might complain about that. yeah >> thank you so much. here's chris alvarez with a look at what's coming up in. >> all right guys coming up in sports. the warriors playoff push continues tonight at chase. and well matinee game early evening whenever you want to call it defending champs in town six man. klay on fire heating up against

best basketball of the season, starting them young at chase center. that fan waited his whole life to see steph curry. and they saw steph early on in the warriors getting going. draymond green full court pass to jonathan kuminga. warriors up a couple early on right away in the first quarter. then gary payton the second. we know he can jump. look at him. sky in for the rim. and no one boxed him out in the denver trees. and then gets it to klay thompson who came off the bench. scored eight straight. at one point. klay was on fire on a heater in the first quarter 16 points into seven minutes. comes off the screen. splash warriors up six after one second quarter. more vintage klay no hesitation again and again. bottom of the net 21 points. and he's pumped season high in points and a half. he had 23 in the first half. look at klay go steph and curry only had four points in the first half. easy assist to j k for the bucket. warriors up by as many as 16 points. but denver ties it up on a 14 zero run to end the half jamal murray and nikola jokic each had 18 in 61. all at

the half. one more at six. and of course at 11. you saw it right here on abc seven warriors scoreboard watching kevin durant and the suns hosting lebron james. the lakers suns up by as many as 20. but the lakers cut it to two a couple of times lebron james that's an easy dunk for him. he had 2039 years old and he's older than me and can still dunk. i can't do that. kd had 22. suns win 123, 113 at the moment. dubs currently in the ninth place in the west. la drops a 10th, but that could change the warriors lose tonight. women's college hoops senior day for number three stanford hosting arizona state cameron brink is missed friday's loss back with a vengeance today. five more blocks she could play one more college season. not sure about that. 14 points nine rebounds to go with those blocks. quite a star down on the farm and on the other end senior hannah jump had 11. great ball movement for the easy three stanford wins 8167. and because of a couple upsets, they clinched a share of what will be the final pac 12 regular season title. cool parallel moments for cal and stanford softball in

coachella. cal junior kaylee pond from lafayette hit a two run home run in the bottom of the sixth to walk things off against long beach state. and about that same time, i'm in austin, texas. a little time travel for stanford freshman jade berry. two run homer in extra innings to beat colorado state, so both bay area teams win a perfect five and zero this weekend. their respective tournaments. pretty cool stuff. hey, did you see this? casey pratt had the time of his life yesterday in oakland at fans fest. now the oakland 68 and last i bar partnered to host a celebration of oakland sports. former a's grant balfour, coco crisp among the former players in attendance. casey is the man and i was there last year at their first boycott. he has a taylor swift type of following. i swear he does. he needs security. i was there to help him. i mean, everyone loves casey in oakland. i that's all that needs to be said about casey and the fans were so excited to go out there. >> i'm glad he could get him going too. >> yeah, it doesn't take much to get those fans going. i know and

hope for the best real quick. >> one minute we're talking all frustrations with the warriors, next minute we're talking playoffs. >> yeah, the they need to have the top half of the frustrating moments and they'll have a chance to playoffs. >> all right. thank you so much chris a waterfall at yosemite that might
