or what film will win the top prize. >> i think we're all just happy to be here. so whatever happens you know, we're happy to be in the room. stay with abc 7 news for complete oscar coverage. abc 7 news reporter casey marzullo will be in hollywood with live coverage throughout the weekend. hopefully she won't get rained on. as we saw in the live picture earlier, they have that row of multiple tents over the red carpet. but i wonder how the press is going to take it. >> it's going to be cooler, too. oh well for them, right? >> hollywood's biggest night, still get to enjoy it. >> better than last year. we he are looking at a little precip head inging our way. it depend on where you are if you're going to see it or not. that's how desperate we are looking for any bit of rain. we have a little. i'll show it to you in a moment. live doppler 7 hd impacted with the fog, the coast and our valleys still this morning. there's more sunshine than fog

except if you're here. this is where it will be cooler from the central coast, monterey, santa cruz, upper 60s today. half moon bay right now with fog. 48 degrees. it's 52 in san francisco. some fog at sfo. palo alto in the upper 40s. san jose sunny skies. a look at the sierra nevada where we are slipping under 20% of normal for the snowpack. this makes it worse than last year, but there is a couple inches of snow in the forecast for tahoe through monday. so that's some good news. 44 santa rosa. 46 in petaluma. you've been foggy all morning long. concord is at 50 right now and here is the fog footprint, a quarter mile visibility from santa rosa. less than that half moon bay and petaluma better for you concord and napa and then there's more sunshine in the south bay. take a look at the golden gate bridge, nice and sunny here. you'll feel that onshore push. those breezy west winds will allow for slightly cooler conditions if you're going to be in mill valley or at our beaches around half moon bay.

but the much cooler air comes our way tomorrow with some sprinkles possibly along the san mateo coast for you in san jose and down around the santa cruz mountain ss. after that quiet pattern, unfortunately, for next week. we'll take you into the first day of march as well. so it's high pressure, a trough, a pretty deep one, developing on the back side of the high and that's what's going to bring the change in our weather pattern. it slides down the spine of the sierra bringing a couple inches of rain. 51 today. 30s tomorrow. and then it continues to bring just limited moisture from san luis obispo for the scattered showers and cooler conditions for oscar sunday. back home it means maybe .05 along the coast. mist and drizzle tomorrow. you can see in the santa cruz mountains could get a little wet. nothing significant but bringing our numbers down. so there's that system. then we go through the rest of

february into march, yeah, doesn't look like we're going to see anything in terms of rain. highs today in the low 50s in the northern sierra. 64 southern sierra. there are the clouds in los angeles with 65 a cooler day today at the coast. but you overall we're still above average from fremont to livermore up in santa rosa, down around morgan hill cooler half moon bay san francisco, the accuweather seven-day forecast breezy, sprinkle, more clouds and tomorrow, and temperatures will be kind of average for a change. that will take us into monday and then sunny. a few more clouds in here the middle of the week but nothing to bust through that ridge. in fact, we're back to upper 60s to near 70 for the end of february. >> we don't get the rain but at least we have some sun to head outside and enjoy it. >> we do. it is what it is. >> exactly. lisa, thank you so much. turning to sports, the warriors are traveling to indiana today to face the pacers tomorrow night. it's the start of a grueling six-game road trip.
