48 hours, so what's their success rate? currently 95%. in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. weatherwise is cold outside. meteorologist lisa argen tracking the forecast for us. >> hi, chris, good morning to you. we've been sitting pretty nicely in the 40s here in san francisco. live doppler 7 showing some clouds around. our live cameras will reflect that. we are going to look at a couple of systems headed our way. one dropping down from the north and another from the pacific. this is going to create a lot of moisture headed our way by early next week. walnut creek a few clouds for you. temperatures ranging from 44 in san francisco, 43 in oakland, it's 36 in morgan hill up from your 31 degrees. 42 in half moon bay. and from san francisco here you can see a bit of cloud cover and numbers look cold, but if you were with a a few hours ago, numbers were hovering at about 30 degrees. so 34 sounds better in santa

rosa, 33 by the delta. livermore is at 34. concord is still at 39 degrees. so here's sutro. we'll call it partly cloudy today, more clouds from san francisco north. and then we'll look for the increasing clouds all around the bay, making for a dry but milder evening tonight and widespread rain arriving next week. so don't focus on the numbers here, but we are bringing in a 2 on our storm impact scale monday and tuesday. reason being that i'm going to show you two forecast models that are wildly different, bringing anywhere from 3 to 5 inches in the north bay, some areas 7 inches, but then in the south bay anywhere from an inch to less than an inch. so we are looking at an undetermined forecast for the middle of the week. but we will be looking at the rain pushing in by midday monday to monday night, all throughout the bay area some light rain in the south bay on tuesday. more rain on wednesday. it looks like a break on thursday, and then another wave headed our way friday. so this first forecast model, the conservative one, shows the

rain adding up by tuesday. half inch in the north bay. and then by thursday morning we're looking at rainfall amounts of a third of an inch to just about an inch to 2 inches in the north bay. then you bring in this other forecast model and this one is showing nearly 7 inches in the north bay and nearly 3 inches in parts of the peninsula. 5 inches in san francisco. so let's blend the two for now until the forecast models come into better agreement. but in advance of this, we're looking at a winter storm watch that will bring high snow levels above 5500 feet. monday through wednesday, 5 to 12 inches above 5,000 feet so that means some rain on a 10 to 15-foot snowpack and that's going to bring some problems for sure. looking at the chinese new year parade today, fantastic with some sunshine, mid-50s at 4:00. 52 at 6:00, increasing clouds and temperatures at about 50 at 8:00. this afternoon 58 innd fremont with some clouds around. 56 in napa.

the accuweather seven-day forecast, sun and high clouds today, mid to upper 50s. slight chance of showers in the far north bay late tomorrow, but we're going to call all of sunday dry. 1 on our storm impact scale on monday. tuesday things get interesting. download our accuweather app and some of you will have the rain all week long, while we do get a break for others on thursday. in fact it could be slow to get going, not until monday and tuesday. so really hard to define. we are several days out, so stay tuned. it's going to be interesting. >> you always have a lot going on in the weather department, but this week in particular you'll be monitoring it all for us. >> definitely. >> lisa, thanks. just ahead, this man was just turned down for a vanity license plate.

>> reporter: and since the producers are trying to keep the show to three hours, the winners will have to move fast. there's a 90-second rule that will be in effect. that means they have just a minute and a half to make it from the stage -- from their seats to the stage and finish their acceptance speeches. reporting live from hollywood, danya bacchus, abc 7 news. >> thank you. abc 7 news anchor dion lim is in los angeles for the oscars. she tweeted this photo from a covered red carpet with michael gellman. you can watch dion's reports all weekend long. as for the show coverage starts at 1:30 p.m. on the red carpet. the opening ceremony begins at 3:30. the awards themselves start at 5:00 and the post awards show goes on around 8:00 p.m. all right here on abc 7. the time now is 8:33 on this saturday morning. we have new details about that mudslide that tore through sausalito. the city will hold meetings with

in this morning's sports. >> good morning, everybody. the warriors will face the team that has spent all of its energy the past two years targeting the champs, the houston rockets. tonight 5:30 right here on abc 7. steph curry may have started the three-ball revolution. he hit ten threes against the kings on thursday night. but james harden and the rockets, they take this thing to extremes. they attempted -- in one game they attempted 70 threes. that's nuts! steve kerr says, yeah, times have changed. >> you can look at the three-point numbers, the attempts have gone way up for everybody across the board. but so has pace. so part of the idea is get the ball up the floor as quickly as possible. that was never really something that was done when i was playing. you know, if you shot a quick three in transition, the coach would look at you, i don't care who it was, look at you and say what are you doing? we can get that shot any time we want. >> chase center under construction under way for a littl over two years. for the first time steph curry toured the premise.

his wife came along for the tour as well. the house that steph built will open in september. steph and company toured the plaza, checked out the arena bowl, visited the player campus area, which i imagine will be pretty nice. the arena is going to be spectacular. on the court, a wild one. thunder and jazz. russell westbrook 43 points, but two assists shy of his 12th consecutive triple-double. assist there on the tying basket. they go to overtime and then double overtime. paul george had 45 points. down one, five seconds left, splits the defense and then over the eiffel tower, rudy gobert. are you kidding? look at the arc on that thing. thunder win it 148-147. since being traded. late fourth quarter, he loses the ball to the guy he was traded for, kawhi leonard, throwing it down. you go to davis bertans? no. raptors win 120-117 over san

antonio. high school ball, de la salle and james logan in the boys final. senior thomas gregorios, and a little scoop to the hoop and one. de la salle captures the crown. 54-46. finish up with a little baseball. a's/mariners. ichiro is technically retired, but they actually expect him to play when the a's and m's open the season in japan. he's 45 years old, can still hit. drove in a couple runs right there. shawn murphy with the first run of the spring with a solo home run. the a's come up well short losing by a final of 8-1. that's a wrap on morning sports. lesurnhe bayre fect with b our meteorologist, lisa argen. hi, lisa. >> hey, chris. the sun has been up for a couple of hours and we are definitely looking at the numbers coming up 3 to 5 degrees so that's good news. from our sutro tower camera, the

clouds have increased. we'll see partly cloudy skies today but, boy, it was cold this morning and it's still pretty cool out there with plenty of numbers in the 30s. so it's going to take a little while to thaw out. 34 in santa rosa as well as livermore. we've had the 40s from san francisco to oakland, but 33 by the delta. looking at 38 in gilroy. san jose, you are down to 35 this morning, so as you look at san francisco and the flag blowing, the wind will make it feel cool once again. we have been in this cool stretch, you know, for weeks, have it all. ttemper it's another subtropical fetch is aimed right at the bay area. looks like the focus could be north of the golden gate. still looking at some pretty big numbers coming in in terms of rainfall. a winter storm watch monday through wednesday here as the snow levels rise above 5,500 feet. in the sierra nevada waking up to 0 at southlake.

looking at the cold numbers this morning. a mainly dry weekend, could see a few sprinkles mendocino county but otherwise the widespread rain is getting delayed a little bit, waits until monday and tuesday. and tuesday is when likely we will see the heavier rain. so into that time frame, a 2 on our storm impact scale. we're looking at anywhere from 3.5 inches to 5 inches. could see 7 in the coastal hills. and then down in the south bay we could only see an inch or so. so as the days continue to get closer an closer to the rain event, the models hopefully will get in better agreement. but you'll notice monday the rain hangs to the north. it's late monday into tuesday it sinks it's with eryn thursy push of energy on friday. so i want to show you the varying forecast malodels that shows tuesday rain by a half inch tuesday night in the north bay, not much elsewhere. by thursday morning we're up to

perhaps 2 inches to 3 inches in the north bay, much lesser amounts south. let's go to this next forecast model that wants to bring over 6 inches by thursday morning and over 2.5 inches by thursday night. so for now we'll blend the two and wait until you see consensus. but we are still looking at that event in the sierra nevada to bring the rain on top of maybe 10, 15 inches of snow and that's going to bring some problems in terms of the snow melt. the rivers, the streams up in the mountains, and looking at 2 to 4 feet above 8,000 feet. so a wild variety going on next week. today 55 in san francisco, 58 in oakland, partly cloudy. upper 50s on the peninsula. and then in san jose looking at 59. 56 in napa tonight with the clouds. more of us in the 40s. in fact most of us it will be chilly but not as cold and the accuweather seven-day forecast, today the chinese new year parade looking dry and a bit on the mild side towards 4:00 or 5:00.

in the upper 50s. then getting chilly tonight. clouds tomorrow for oscar sunday, a 1 on our storm impact scale on monday. download the accuweather app and keep track of our chilly temperatures this weekend. and then the rain that wants to keep on coming next week. >> all right, lisa, thank you. speaking of apps, in the south bay we do have an app alert for smartphone users.
