fans know their team will remain in oakland next season, but the bay area future is cloudier this morning. abc7 news sports director larry beil has the details in this morning's sports. >> good morning, everybody. raiders owner mike davis was in las vegas yesterday. he might have hit the jackpot in l.a. because of a decision that was made by the chargers. davis met with casino mogul sheldon adelton about an billion dollar proposal in the desert but the nfl doesn't want a team in the gambling capital of the world. but here's the concern. the rams have a chance to move in eaglewood but they are staying in san diego 2016 and they will try to work out a new stadium deal there. the biggest challenge is winning a vote to approve $300 million to $350 million in public financing. the vote requires 66% to pass. an uphill climb, indeed. but if the chargers do not move

to l.a., mark davis will be there in a flash. to hoops. with a record of 42-4, the warriors have six times as many wins as their opponent today. the philadelphia sixers were a record 7-40. best in the nba against the very worst. while the sixers and the warriors are miles apart in the standings right now, it wasn't that long ago that the warriors were, you know, pretty bad themselves. not philly bad, but still bad. the warriors did not finish over .500 or make the playoffs in steph curry's first three seasons in the league. so he knows something about what philly is going through now and think they could get better faster than anybody thinks. >> if you stay focused, each individual on the bench there to try to get better through the losing, it makes you a better player. and then it could click next year with the right combination of guys. and once it does, it's easy to not look back. one last the warriors note because this is so good.

two fans in philly went fish fourth a steph curry autograph and they got the whopper. they lowered them down and stephed signed for them. dad was so excited, he shoved his head through the railing! steph, i'm stuck. how many superstars have the patience to wait for things to go lowered down to them? that's another reason he's the best on and off the court. have a great weekend, everybody, i'm larry beil. >> a lot of people have their eyes on the sky right now with the super bowl city kicking off and a lot of events going on. what can they expect? >> much dryer today. it didn't let up even though it was light out there. some portions of the north bay had the rain, a little heavier, over an inch. and the flow was from west to east. we call it a zonal flow where the moisture is with us. we are still looking at the possibility of a few areas of

showers, but overall mist and drizzle. rain from here but we had flooding in the sierra nevada or close to it around reno. and with the passage of the front, we are looking at snow now in the mountains, which is good news. this fell here and sort of lingered between livermore and tracey and the hills of the upper elevations and westward as we go through guerneville, bodega bay and highway 101 between santa rosa and petaluma could be a little wet for you. overall we are trending dryer except if you are in the mountains until 10:00. a winter storm warning for the northern sierra and then the focus shifts to the central and southern sierra in southern california as the next storm system looks to miss san francisco. but we will be looking at more snow totals south of here. 7,000, 8,000 feet is where the snow is accumulating. so between now and 10:00, looking at an additional five inches in kirkwood. tahoe city at three inches and just an inch or so around blue

canyon. the snowpack looking really good. and by tomorrow we will be well over 100% in the southern sierra. about two feet expected here with this next system. the sap center, you could see more rain tonight into tomorrow but then it should continue to push south of the south bay. 51 san francisco. low 50s mountain view and san jose. upper elevations a little breezy. this is from our east bay hills camera. upper 40s santa rosa and napa. good morning. and sutro, it looks pretty cloudy out there. it will stay cloudy for the bulk of the day. but we are look at just a slight chance of a shower. maybe a few breaks in the overcast. then the main emphasis shifting into the south bay, the southern sierra for the second half of your weekend. a here's today. you notice we still have green on the map. that's a quick-moving shower. but by noontime a lot of clouds around. still could see a light sprinkle. but let's take a look at the

rain chances in san francisco for the week ahead. notice today just about a 30% chance. very little tomorrow. and then by tuesday, groundhog day, a 350% chance. we are just -- a 50% chance. just a light shower. but trending dry. there's the rain south of gilroy and monterey. could see some in the south bay. rest of the day looking breezy. temperatures today in san francisco for super bowl city about 56 degrees, 2:00 maybe a sprinkle. it should be dry for the most part, though. 59 in oakland and santa cruz and san jose. and the accuweather seven-day forecast, that little guy there is a groundhog. so we are looking at spring maybe to come early? who knows. i have been told 75% rodent accuracy from our director, jerry. so that's what he said. but locally we are looking dry. >> thank you, lisa. now to a story of agering and frustration in the east bay this morning. residents of a west oakland

artist colony have just one more day to pack up and move out. the city of oakland has red-tagged the warehouse where they live at 20th and market street. they say the building is unsafe and a public nuisance. reporter laura anthony spoke to residents who say they have nowhere else to go. >> it's an old warehouse, a bus barn that was converted to live workspaces about 15 years ago. a building that houses about 100 people, mostly artists, who now must pack up and leave by midnight, sunday. >> will you be out by midnight, sunday? >> well, i'll get arrested otherwise. >> carolyn valentine and sam shared their loft with two other people. together they pay about $1,600 per month.9 their loft does have issues. >> apparently a carbon monoxide leak, as they pointed out theb. other day. >> but ones they say could or should have been fixed long before it got to this. >> it certainly favors living in a tent underneath the bridge.

>> but the city of oakland has red-tagged each and every unit, saying the violations are two numerous to correct, at least with anyone living here. it includes dangerous wiring and plumbing and fire hazards throughout. >> if that's the kind of sterile city you want, that's your choice, but you are putting over 100 working small business owners and creative individuals on the street. >> to displace over 100 artists into a situation where there is no housing. >> an attorney for the company that managings the property told me that after the renovations are complete, the tenants will be allowed to move back in at the same rent they are paying now. that's little consolation to the displaced residents, who said they will spend this rainy weekend packing up and moving out. in oakland, laura anthony, abc7 news >> up next besides super bowl activities, there's an annual chinese new
