drive because there's a winter storm watch in effect and that kicks in tomorrow morning through monday night. that's the other time you do not want to be driving through the sierra. so if you do have to head through, today would be your best bet this afternoon or hold off until tuesday if you can. here are the chances of rain for the next seven days. and check it out. we've got today, a level 1, level 1 for tomorrow and then i bumped it up to a level 3. so this is going to a fairly strong storm on monday. flooding is going to be a possibility and a concern. power outages, downed trees, we'll expect to see that. but thursday and friday, that's when we see some dry days ahead. here's the accuweather 7 day forecast. so, we've got the morning rain to contend with, temperatures in the 60s. wet and windy increasing rain tomorrow afternoon, president's day is going to be a big storm, a moderate storm, actually strong storm heading our way

weekend, enjoy my couple days i got off and get ready for the second half of the season. >> i know there's a lot of talk about about kd and russ and all that this weekend, but we're all big boys and understand we're here to celebrate the game of basketball and everybody's accomplishments, so we're going to have fun. >> all right, from the big easy to the big game, stanford hosting cal as the bears look for a sweep of this year's series which would be their first since 2010. cal also needs a win to help their ncaa tournament chances while stanford have lost five of their last six. out to maple for the rivalry. first half, cal jumps out to a lead. career high seven triples and 23 points but the bears turned it over 11 times in the first half, stanford takes advantage. marcus allen the dunk to give the cardinals their first lead. second half, ivan, strong to the hoop, bears retake the lead on the flooet. he had 16. but the cal lead doesn't last

long. great bounce pass to reed travis for the slam and then it's all cardinal. dorian pickens for the three makes it a 13-point stanford lead, finished with 23. cardinals win 73-68 to split this year's big game series. the giants name their opening day starter yesterday. take a guess. you got it. madison. the 27-year-old left-hander was 15 and 9 last year, he had 251 ks, 54 walks. no brainer. meanwhile, yesterday was the team's first full squad workout. always fun to see the boys after the off season and get cranked up for their fourth run at the worlz series title since 2010. only a few open spots, left field, third base. manager doesn't mind having a lot of players who can step in and make a difference. >> guy on the bench who's getting a lot of playing time versus somebody sitting all the time, i think it can be a good thing. some players, sure, you don't want to put -- you want their

presence out there. or their defense, but you know, if you have a good platoon situation, i think that's a good thing. >> and that's the way the ball bounces. we'll see you tonight at 5:00 p.m. right here on abc7. abc7 sports director larry beil is in new orleans for the nba all-star game. warriors star steph curry, klay thompson, kevin durant, and draymond green are all parts of the west team. all right, good saturday morning, i'm frances dinglasan. we're still dealing with some scattered showers as you can see from live doppler 7. and we'll zoom in. we'll find some light showers now in parts of the east bay all along 580 through livermore. the showers are going to taper this evening. temperatures right now namely in the 50s. enjoy this pretty view of the bay bridge and the ferry building and san francisco's currently at 53, oakland 51, san jose at 52 degrees. here's a live shot of sfo. there will probaby be some

flight arrival delays later this morning. scattered showers lingering throughout the morning hours but what you really need to know about is this stronger storm coming in late tomorrow night into monday and then a wet pattern continuing all through next week. on our storm impact scale, the storm tomorrow is going to be ranked a 1. it's a light storm. we'll start to see some morning showers, widespread afternoon rain, and it will be breezy and then things kick in late tomorrow night. i'll show you to forecast animation. for those of you who are dying to get outdoors, today's the day to do it. by 12:00 this afternoon, mostly dry, still pockets of isolated showers in parts of the south bay but they will be light and fairly short lived and you'll notice dry until tomorrow morning, the showers move in once again. we could see some heavier rain in parts of the north bay and notice showers increase into the afternoon, breezy conditions as well, even some more pockets of heavier rain in the north bay. then check this out. sunday night is when things

really pick up and we'll see areas of red. these are the downpours heading towards the santa cruz mountains, not good news for highway 17, which has already had problems so the next storm, late sunday into monday, is going to be ranked a three on our storm impact scale. this is a strong storm. we're expecting rain to be anywhere from 1 to 3 inches around many cities, widespread flooding, downed trees once again, power outages, and what happens is the heavy rain, the downpours continue late sunday night all into monday morning for president's day. i pause it here at 5:00. you'll notice some heavy rain moving through the north bay and just continued all throughout the morning hours and into the afternoon, finally by late monday night, things start too taper off and we'll see lighter showers. highs today will be anywhere from the upper 50s to low 60s, san francisco 58, breezy at the cost, 60 in oakland and in san jose. hold off driving up to the sierra right now. winter weather advisory until

10:00. gusting winds, it's fwoin to be pretty difficult to drive out there so hold off until this afternoon. but that's a good time to go, because there's another winter storm watch in effect tomorrow morning until late monday night and that's also going to be a very bad time to drive. if you have monday off, head back to the bay area on tuesday. chances of rain for the next seven days, well, we've got rain pretty much every day and then there's that level 3 on monday. but thursday and friday, all right, we've got no rain in the forecast. that 10%, i'm saying it's probably going to be sunny by the weekend next weekend. so here's look at the accuweather 7 day forecast. morning rain today, level 1. tomorrow as well. increasing rain and then president's day, luckily it's a holiday for most folks but that's when i see possibly a lot of weather-related problems, overnight sunday into monday. they've we've got another storm light tuesday into wednesday, finally dry, more sunshine thursday and friday. >> it's really become the new normal. >> it's like now instead of

looking for rain, i'm looking for the dry break, the times when we can actually get outside and do something. >> just got to make it through wednesday. all right, frances, thanks so much. we are now nine days away from the oscars. we've got an annual preview of the big ball after the show. abc news reporter george pinakio says at this party there are plenty of oscars. >> reporter: whether the oscars are made salmon or chocolate, there are plenty to go around at the governor's ball. it all starts with hungry guests ready to eat from seafood to tiny burgers and tiny tacos to those caviar-topped baked potatoes, there will be food everywhere. >> it's not this formal sit-down dinner where you sit in front of a chicken. everything is in a small version so that way you can have 20 different dishes if you're hungry. >> reporter: it's all you can seat. and apparently all you can drink too. >> pop goes the piper with these magnums, quite a lot we'll be

opening 1500 bottles of champagne that night. >> reporter: there's also an official whiskey for the evening and special wine from the copolla winery, fitting since he's won five oscars. >> everything that we do at the winery, francis is involved and he directs so he created this label. the wine making team took care of the wine so he was very involved with this. >> reporter: once the guests have finished enjoying all the savory dishes, they need to leave plenty of room for dessert and there are dozens of options for your sweet tooth. >> hours and hours of love and labor, yes. >> reporter: and butter and sugar. >> yes. >> reporter: as always, the room will be filled with flowers. >> this year, we're kind of inspired by california mid-century, 1950s, 1960s, clean, modern. >> reporter: and in charge of it all, ball producer cheryl. it's her 28th year. >> everything has just become bigger, better, more. you have to match that, but it's
