if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com.

so it's chilly out there. and you know the winter solstice about a week away. it arrives next sunday at 3:00 in the afternoon. so certainly feeling like winter, and as we look from the exploratorium camera, low fog and we have the clouds this morning. a break in the rain for today. the rain returns tomorrow evening. we will see periods of showers through several days into next week. they aren't huge systems. they are cold systems and they will add to the sierra nevada snowpack and they will add to the reservoirs around here. here's high pressure bringing us a break today. a weak high pressure building in. so that will allow for the fog to clear on out throughout the midmorning hours. and then it is on our heels. an area of low pressure coming out of the gulf of acton that will bring a cold system to the bay. here's a look at 5:00 tomorrow evening. thickening clouds by 7:00, 8:00 we have rain in the north bay. this is so:00 and moderate rain in the east bay around 580.

berkeley and oakland and the santa cruz mountains. overnight hours more moderate rain and it impacts your commute monday morning. it will be soggy, it will be slow in the north bay. look at the moderate rain. it continues to push on through throughout the afternoon. and look for scattered showers into tuesday, as well. the highest elevations of the north bay, the santa rosa crude mountains two inches of rain. three quarters in san francisco. and then with the scattered showers some downpours into tuesday and wednesday we will look for still an active pattern. 60 today. one of the milder rotations over in oakland. 56 in concord. a cool day in san jose at 59. the accuweather seven-day forecast dry today, rain tomorrow evening through monday. more rain likely on tuesday. pretty much it ends by wednesday, and then another system on friday. so it is what we need. they aren't huge systems so i think we will be fine in terms of our flooding potential. except the santa cruz mountains

you will see heavy rain. >> a lot of people will be happy with the forecast today. especially if they have plans to head out to union square, maybe take in the countries mass tree lighting later today. >> yeah. time to get things done. >> thanks, lisa. turning to sports this morning, the warriors will try to extend their franchise-best 14-game winning streak in dallas. to do so they have to beat the mavericks which is the nba's highest scoring team. tip off is at 11:00 a.m. our time. here's rick quan with a preview of this morning's sports report. >> good morning. the warriors can improve their record to the league's best 20-2 today when they play at dallas but they will have to do it without their big man, andrew bogut. he had his right knee drained and will miss the next two games. he injured it last monday. bogut has tendinitis on the knee and will be re-evaluated after the weekend. he's averaging 7 points and 9 rebounds a contest. without him in the middle, it will be tough going down a high-scoring mavericks team. >> this is the best offensive team in the league statistically.

they are a nightmare to guard. they have shooters and ball handlers and penetrators all over the floor. of course, everything revolves around derek. it's probably our biggest challenge of the year defensively. >> kobe and the lakers were in san antonio last night. nick young with the hot hand. he drains the three and scores 29. the lakers led most of the way. but back in san antonio, tim duncan with the hoop. 18th in the all five scoring list. kobe needed 21 to pass michael jordan for first place. he finished with 22 points. they would go to overtime. lakers down by 1 with the shot clock winding down. the miracle three-pointer and the struggling lakers upset the defending champs 112 to 110. >> seattle is expected to beat the niners on sunday. the niners have never been this big of an underdog. it's easy to understand why.

when they met on thanksgiving, the seahawks had themselves a feast, winning 19-3. only one touchdown. colin kaepernick threw for just 121 yards and was intercepted twice by niners' nemesis richard sherman. san francisco's playoff hopes are all but gone with another loss. harbaugh spoke about the rivalry he has with the seahawks. and pete karel. >> he's a great competitors, he's a great football coach. been in a lot of big games. very much look forward to playing against their team. they have such a good football team. >> we see the same players and the coaches and the style. we remember what's going on and how good they have been and all of that. they are very, very close to being right where they need to be at the end of the year. nobody knows how this story is going to get written at this point. >> raiders quarterback derek carr has been named the nfl's rookie of the week after

throwing for 229 yards and a three touchdowns in their win against the niners. he hopes to keep it going tomorrow in kansas city. oakland tries to beat the chiefs for the second time this season. the first win on a rainy night in the coliseum set the 15-game losing streak. murray had a breakout game running for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 4 carries. the 90-yard td run is the ing longest in scrimmage this season. with the teams looking for a playoff spot, they know a win at arrowhead will not be easy. >> it has to be up there in the top couple places to play. i've been fortunate to go in there and play some games there and come out okay. the environment is great. it's a great place for football. they have passionate fans, just like ours. >> and that is sports for saturday morning. i'm rick quan. go out and have a great day! >> 6:53, the time. coming up, santas will be everywhere on the streets of san francisco. how they will really be getting

>> happening today, day area residents who are feeling particularly festive can don their best attire and hop from bar to bar for this year's santathon. crowds are expected to make their way through san francisco today, stopping at various bars and landmarks along the way. it's part of a worldwide event that's been known to put some of the participants on santa's naughty list.

while it's intended to be fun, the annual flash mob bar crawl has raised some criticism over the years. today's santathon gets underway at noon. it's at union square park. do you think there will be some hot totties around the noon hour? >> there will probably be a few flying around. good morning, everyone. no fog advisories here but to the south of us. the delta, sfo delays of 47 minutes and just three quarters mile visibility in livermore. a weak high pressure builds in bringing sunshine by midmorning and about 3:00 this afternoon, 60 in oakland. rain returns tomorrow night and stays with us through tuesday. then again on friday and adding to the sierra snowpack. >> thanks for joining us on the saturday morning news. news continues online, on twitter, facebook and all of your mobile device was our abc7 news app. "good morning america" is next. for lisa argen, i'm chris nguyen. we will see you again at 1:00

a.m. this is jim. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal.

plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-dayarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app,
