time is 5:43 on this sunday morning, and we're taking a live look outside from our san mateo bridge camera. much different compared to this time yesterday when we were seeing rain throughout the bay area. changes are the way, though. we'll get an accuweather report from lisa argen in just a little bit. first, the time is 5:44, and in sports, the sharks are in action, back in action tonight, but they may be shorthanded. brent burns is questionable for the game with the flu. he's not missed a game in five seasons. the sharks face chicago at s.a.p. center. the puck drop is 7:00 p.m. warriors will be back in action tuesday night at oracle arena against the celtics. last night they battled the 76ers in the final game of a four-game road trip. larry beil has highlights in this morning's sports report. >> good morning, everybody! yes, it was just a regular season game, but it felt a lot mre important. the warriors came back from a 12-point halftime deficit in philly to beat the sixers and put a halt to a mini losing streak at two games.

steve kerr a little agitated without klay thompson, out with a knee, and kevon looney. ben simmons here with the steal went for a triple-double, 25 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists. i'm not sure he took a shot out of five feet. steph curry much better in this one. nice! high off the window, but an awkward fall, hit his head on the base of the basket. he's okay, but the sixers led by a dozen at the half. built it up to 14 points. the warriors go on a 16-0 run early in the third. damian lee, he had four 3s, 12 points, then demarcus cousins, then steph and k.d. for 3 of his 34. and andre iguodala would add a three. the dubs were up three after three. big boogie inside! 25 points for him. mike scott, three of his six 3s came in the fourth. he had like the game of his life. sixers back on top. warriors in transition. andre, steph, jumper, splash.

then drives on j.j. redick. he's going to cook him. 11 of steph's 28 points come in the fourth. warriors win it, 121-117. >> it was just a get it done however type of win. the last two games, it definitely felt good for us to get on this long flight to go back home and have some smiles on our faces and feel good about ourselves. we obviously don't lose confidence in what we're about and what our goal is, but games like tonight are almost playoffesque, where you might not play perfect, but you figure out a way to win. >> we gutted it out. you know, we really got tested as a team from start to finish. that's an incredble team on the other end of that floor. but we got tested, so, i think we needed this. we've kind of been, you know, i guess you could say in a slump these past couple games and not really playing the right way, but it really came together and took a step forward tonight. >> well, it's one of the best wins we've had all year based

and having lost two straight, you know, kind of in a little bit of a rut. so, this is what you need to dig u've got to show the grit that we did in the second half and our guys, they fought and they earned it. >> you could see how happy they were. college hoops, final game of the regular season for st. mary's, hosting number one gonzaga. jordan ford led the gales with 19. st. mary's had a brief four-point lead, then the zags run away with it. brandon clark with authority on the alley-oop. they win and end the regular season 29-2. that's a wrapping on morning sports. have a great weekend. i'm larry beil. let's check on the bay area forecast now with meteorologist lisa argen. hi, lisa. >> hey, chris. good morning to you. we're waking up with fog and the view from emeryville right now. o will have a oud showers. they will be with us on and off throughout the day today. but if you're headed out for a bike ride or perhaps you need to walk the dog, which i know i have that on my agenda, you are

going to see perhaps a few showers as we get into the middle of the time frame here. see the dogs there? see fido? that's kind of cute, isn't he? 10:00, 54 degrees, and then really in the mid-50s with the scattered showers. and they won't mind, right? it's just fun to get out and get some exercise. as we look at our roof camera, you'll notice it's cloudy and the showers, right now they're well to the north, up north of santa rosa. but we do have the visibility an issue. and when we get a little bit of shower activity that works to improve our visibility, so between the two of them, as we zoom in north of cloverdale from lake port to upper lake, you can see maybe a few very light showers, mist and drizzle. it is drizzling in truckee. the tahoe valley airport at 34 degrees with light rain. so the snow level will continue to fluctuate between 5,000 and 6,000 feet, but we do have a winter weather advisory in effect here until 4:00 this afternoon, and that will allow for an additional 4 to 8 inches

of snow above 6,000 feet with reduced visibility. our next incoming storm system once again, snow levels fluctuating between 5,000 and 6,000 feet midweek. it is 55 this morning for you in hayward. good morning to you. 52 in santa rosa, 53 san francisco, and the fog from the north bay with a mile and a half visibility along the coast and up in santa rosa with only three-quarters of a mile in livermore. so, be careful out there. san jose, 101, the cloud cover. clouds, a few showers today. it will be dry to start the workweek tomorrow on monday and then heavier rain arrives late tuesday into wednesday. it is a one on our storm impact scale today. that will allow for the scattered showers, midmorning, midafternoon, less than 0.2. then we will see the rain tapering off through the afternoon. you can see the activity, mainly the central valley, the san joaquin valley, then well to the north here just a few light showers. i wish i could say in for the middle of the week system, but we are looking at potentially once again rainfall amounts that

could cause some problems with the rivers. as we look right now for the totals today, very little. 0.03 in oakland, 0.01 in calistoga. highs today underneath the clouds, scattered showers, 60 in concord, 62 san jose, 55 half moon bay. monday we are dry. tuesday we are dry. by the middle of the afternoon, we're looking at showers moving in, but then look what happens tuesday night. this is what i mean with the heavier rain from santa rosa north. it's with us for your wednesday morning commute, your wednesday afternoon commute, and then it finally pushes on out of here. preliminary estimates put the focus in the north bay. this certainly isn't an atmospheric river. that will be well to the south. but in terms of the bay area, most of the rain falling in the north bay with about an inch or more with perhaps a half inch in san ramon. we'll fine-tune it for you. the accuweather seven-day forecast today, just some light scattered showers from time to time. they'll become isolated late in the day. dry for your back to work on monday. download our accuweather app and you'll notice the rain arriving

later on tuesday into wednesday. that's going to be the rainiest and the windiest time frame. thursday we'll break out into a little bit more sun. so, once again, it is going to be a wet portion of the week. >> you're going to keep track of it all for us. >> yeah. >> ready to go later on. lisa, thank you. new season, new singers.
