this afternoon and this rainy weekend. this is what it looked like earlier today in richmond. light showers and slick roads. it's been raining off and on all day long. we want to check in with spencer christian right now to get an update on what's to come. is the rain over at this point? >> it's not over yet. not over yet. we're getting more scattered showers right now as opposed to the downpours we had earlier today, but it's still wet out there. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see where the rain is. the entire area is not being hit by blanket rainfall. but as we close in a little bit on the central part of the bay area, you see little pockets of showers just moving on shore, mainly in the central part of the bay area, through the golden gate onto the peninsula in and around san francisco and oakland and the heaviest concentration right now is actually in the mountains around mount hamilton area and the east santa clara hills. so it's pretty wet over there, but it's moving away from the more densely populated areas. this is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale through tomorrow morning. we expect more light to moderate showers. there's a possibility still of an isolated

thunderstorm. it'll be breezy to gusty. here's that forecast animation. notice in the evening hours. still just widespread scattered showers. no heavy uh- extended downpours expected except an occasional brief downpour here and there. and by about midnight, we'll see the system weakening a bit, but then re-energizing tomorrow morning. that means more showers on the way. i'll have a look at tomorrow's rainfall and when we can expect some sunshine a little bit later. j.r. >> spencer, thank you so much. this weekend's storm is good news for the sierra. check out all the snow at the uc berkeley central sierra snow lab. they got more than a foot of snow and are expecting up to another foot in the next 24 hours. in the east bay, police are trying to find the person who shot and killed a woman at a gas station in east oakland. she was killed around 545 this morning at the quick serve on east 12th street, just off of 880. police have not released details on a suspect or what led up to this shooting. this is the final weekend

business for the in-n-out burger in oakland. it's the chain's first ever permanent closure. crime on the property and along hegenberger corridor is the reason behind it. other businesses in the area, including a subway and denny's, have also closed over safety concerns. those community concerns mean oakland's new police chief will have a lot of work to do when he comes to the bay area. floyd mitchell is expected to begin in may. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard spoke with advocates about what they believe mitchell's priorities should be a neighborhood day of action in west oakland, volunteers pitching in to clean up parts of 28th street near adeline, organized by grassroots nonprofit community ready corp. >> our belief is, is that it's our job to serve our communities. it's our job to clean up. if the city doesn't do it, we're going to do it. that's why my loyalty is to this. >> crc founder troc says his organization is also committed to making oakland streets safer

opportunity. >> oakland city council member carol fife hopes chief mitchell can deliver results. >> my hopes for the new police chief is that he comes ready to work and roll up his sleeves. this is not an easy place. i think we've had 16 chiefs and 20 years. >> these advocates are so committed to oakland. they bought their own trash truck. they hope the new police chief shares that same passion about making these communities safer. >> we what we want to show is that our communities can pull together to solve our situations in oakland. >> cornell, bernard. abc seven news. >> you can get the full picture of crime in oakland with the abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it shows you a wide range of statistics on public safety. it's also available for san francisco and san jose. you'll find it on abc seven news.com. one person was sent to the hospital after a hazmat at merck research labs in south san francisco this morning. quite the situation. it happened when a cleaner was pressure washing outside the building near some nitrogen tanks. a valve broke,

what i mean. the showers are scattered about, although within these scattered showers there are some brief local downpours. so uh, if you're out and about this evening, you'll probably encounter some raindrops at some point. satellite radar composite image shows that center of low pressure to our north northwest spinning just offshore, and it's bringing in wave after wave of moisture. but again, the rain is relatively light. this is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale through tomorrow morning. we expect more light to moderate showers. there's still a possibility because of the atmosphere being unstable of an isolated thunderstorm or two, but not highly likely. so here's the forecast animation starting at 6 p.m. notice the system remains in scattered fashion as it swings through during the late night hours after midnight. we'll see the rainfall taper off just a little bit to more widely scattered light showers, but then it will re-energize tomorrow morning around 6 a.m. or so as we get more pockets of steadier, heavier rain swinging through the area. but that will

be in the early part of the day. by midday or afternoon tomorrow, we expect the system to start winding down and we'll get some partial clearing. rainfall totals from this storm by 6:00 tomorrow evening will generally be under a quarter of an inch, although there will be a few exceptions. san ramon and fremont about a third of an inch of rain from this system, and there will be some heavy snow in the sierra. in fact, a winter storm warning is in effect until 8 a.m. tomorrow for the western slopes of the sierra, where 1 to 2ft of snow could fall between 6000 and 7000ft. and of course, driving conditions will be difficult. it's pretty gusty right now along the coastline. in fact, many locations near the coast and the bay are receiving wind speeds right now of about 25 to 30mph. breezy inland, but not as gusty as it is near the coastline. and it's several degrees cooler in most bay area locations right now than it was at this time yesterday. so let's move along and take a look at current conditions in san francisco right now. 58 degrees. also upper 50s at half moon bay, san mateo and san jose, 60 at oakland and hayward. looking at a mixed sky conditions over the

golden gate. some blue and some clouds. other temperature readings right now. mid 50s at santa rosa, petaluma, napa. upper 50s at concord and fairfield. 61 and 54 at livermore. now tonight, as the scattered showers continue overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s. and then tomorrow look for a relatively cool day with high temperatures just above 60 degrees around the bay shoreline, inland east bay and down in the south bay. we'll see some low 60s and maybe even a couple of mid 60s at places like santa rosa and fairfield and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so we get some drier weather on monday and tuesday. and then on wednesday rain returns thursday showers, morning showers giving way to rainy and cooler conditions on friday. so even through as we go through the week, we'll see unsettled weather before we can expect any extended periods of dry weather. >> abc seven sports is sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. >> well, just a few weeks ago, it was a foregone conclusion that, at the very least, the warriors would make the play in

tournament. but after last night's home loss to the pacers, golden state holds just a two game lead over houston for the 10th and final spot in the west. houston has won seven straight to make things way too interesting. the warriors led by as many as 12 last night, but the pacers took momentum with this tyrese haliburton buzzer beater to beat the halftime horn. and then indiana took the momentum. outscored the dubs by 15 in the third quarter as the warriors dropped to 18 and 19 at home, a 123, 111 loss. >> disappointed obviously, in this home stand, we were hoping to, to get all three and we only got one. and that's put us in a tough spot. >> we got to figure out how to play, right. we got to compete and we got to win every game. now we basically fighting and, for our for a chance at the playoffs. >> it just presents more issues of how we need to, you know, bounce back and whether we're going to be playing for something and a couple of weeks or not, because, you know, you know, nothing's guaranteed. i think we have enough pride to bounce back. and i think we want it bad enough and got to go show

it. >> 13 games left in the regular season stanford women's basketball. they began their journey towards a fourth national title, 7959 or 50 win over norfolk state last night. down on the farm cameron brink 15 points, 15 rebounds, six blocks kiki yofan scored 17, including the first half buzzer beater. she also had nine rebounds. stanford lost in the second round at home last season. they don't want that to happen again. >> cameron brink every team is great in march, so we can't take any team for granted like we have to put the same amount of focus that we would for higher, higher seeded teams and also we want to protect home court. we don't want what happened last year to happen again. >> meanwhile, on the men's side, the saint mary's gaels season came to an end last night, falling to a tough grand canyon squad, 7566, in the first round. it's a classic 12 five upset, but that doesn't make it any easier for head coach randy bennett. >> this one was tough last year. we lost the national champ, so a lot of teams lost to. there's five other teams lost to them too. so, this year yeah, we

should get that done. but we didn't. and credit credit them they outplayed us >> abc seven sports, sponsored by your northern a honey baked ham that's been slow smoked,
