jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

6:44 the time. waking up to this live shot from walnut creek. the days are feeling a little longer with the earlier sunrise. hard to tell though with the cloud cover this morning. some parts of the bay area will see the sun today. lisa has more in the complete accu-weather forecast in a little bit. in sports, the a's and giants are both hoping to bounce back from losses yesterday. the giants take on the pirates this afternoon, this afternoon at 1:05 at pnc park and the a's battle the toronto blue jays, 1:07 at the coliseum. the warriors are getting ready for game four of their series against the clippers tomorrow. abc 7 sports director larry beel has the preview in this

morning's sports. >> good morning, everybody. upon further review, the nba has rescinded the technical foul given to kevin durant in thursday night's warriors win over the clippers and that happens to be a big deal. so you get seven technicals in the playoffs before the nba hits you with a one game suspension. kd would have had three. so now it goes back to two t's and he and the opponent were trash talking and laughing when they absurdly got t'd up. >> we were conversing about the play that happened before. just like you and i and somebody came out of nowhere and teched us both. how would you feel? >> you can't just call a double t every time to keep the game in control and penalize the team that plays a lot of playoff games and those things start adding up. >> kd and the warriors will tip off against the warriors easter sunday right here on abc 7. and after going for 38 in game three, we all know who kevin durant is. >> i'm kevin durant. >> he's kevin durant.

>> he's kevin durant. >> you know ho i am. >> you all know who he is. >> i already knew who he was. >> he said yesterday, it is kevin durant. >> he is ken durant. >> he's right. >> >> showing everybody who kevin durant is. >> he is kevin freaking durant. >> yes. i think we got it. hey, did you see the ad in the chronicle right in the middle there. kd commits to oakland. referring to the other kd. slugger kris davis who just signed an extension with the a's. that's the first rate trolling. a's hosting the blue jays. like the pins there. jays scored four in the second to take the lead. rbi single here off of the a's starter aaron brooks. how about davis? fouling off a lot of good pitches in the eighth inning. and then strike three call, toronto allows one run. and bottom of ninth, he is punched out with a high strike.

that ended the game. what does he do? he spits at home plate ump lance diaz and might get suspended for that. the giants in pittsburgh. madison bumgarner, nobody on base, two outs, the wheels come out. pirates score four runs. two-run double here. and bum did not give up a run the rest of the six innings. but the damage was done. and this, this is damage. top eighth, a flare to center. look out, look out. eric gonzalez and sterling full speed into each other, that was ugly. giants lose their third straight 4-1. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody: a check of the bay area forecast with our meteorologist. hi, lisa. >> good morning, chris. pretty gray out there. in fact, fretty breezy as well. this is the exploratorium camera, with wind gusts 30 miles an hour along the coast and

delays at sfo and certainly going to look at the start of the day, cloudy, and pretty cool out there, with temperatures coming down, way down, in our inland valleys. a look from santa cruz, and you will notice that it is certainly gray there, and 49 degrees, and temperatures will climb into the low 60s. partly cloudy by the afternoon. and we will see numbers go up, into your second half of the weekend, and also looking at an offshore flow by the middle of the week, here's a look at a little bit of rain, we've been tracking from west marin, over to the north bay, there's been mist and drizzle around the bay. and wind gusts upper elevations, over 45 miles an hour. and we're looking at delays at sfo. so there is the front. it's got wind ahead of it. behind it. and then the clouds are going to thing out from the northwest to the southeast. as the cold front sweeps through the bay area. mild visibility half moon bay. re is a look at walnut creek. it looks brighter here. plenty of clouds. 52 san francisco. 57 in san jose. with mid 50s on the coast. looking at temperatures today in

the city, just in the low 60s. with those gusty northwest winds. 56 in concord. 51 in santa rosa. we will be looking at a sunnier day tomorrow. without the wind, it is going to feel a lot warmer. so temperatures will be in the 70s today away from the bay. but you will have the winds. tomorrow, mid 70s in concord. mid to upper 60s. and nice afternoon for easter sunday if you're celebrating, into monday, and the numbers come up another five to ten degrees into the lower 80s inland. above average into tuesday. with more mid-80s. mid-70s the flow is not off the ocean, but moving from the land, to the ocean, and so that is why we are going to warm up even into wednesday, and thursday, we begin to cool back, let's look at the wind direction, and the gusts throughout the day, and double digits offshore, up to 30 miles an hour. and here we are, at 11:30 in the morning, very breezy, from san francisco, to santa rosa, and right on through the afternoon, you've got the colors, red and the gustiest winds and yellow and pretty breezy to gusty from

the coast, 22 miles an hour, 2:00 in the afternoon and then by 3:30 and 4:00, the winds don't let up, breezy to windy day out there, allowing for definitely a chill in the air for your saturday afternoon. the clouds, well, with the passage of the cold front and the winds, that will scour out the skies and we will see more sun in the north bay. first. then turning partly cloudy, peninsula and south bay. but the temperatures much cooler today, and in fact, you will notice a big difference, 69 in concord, with 68 in san jose and san francisco in the low 60s. only upper 50s with the winds at the coast. and when you have the sun sooner, it will be a little milder, in napa, at 70 degrees, this afternoon. so for easter tomorrow, 6:27 is the sunrise, and upper 40s inland, and coast, and around 50 at the bay. to start out. and then the numbers climbing through the 70s, tonight, we will look for partly cloudy skies, and numbers dropping into the upper 40s, without the cloud cover, in spots and the accu-weather seven-day forecast, upper 50s, gusty at the coast,

upper 60s around the bay, and 70 inland today. and brighter for easter. the numbers warm up each and every day. getting pretty hot, summer-like midweek the 80s will last inland through wednesday and start to cool everywhere on thursday. >> sounds good, lisa, thank you. a bay area woman got a surprise call from a stranger telling her she had money waiting for her. wisely, she was skeptical. but 7 on your side michael finney explains how it all ended with happy tears. >> julie courtney has been a bay area real estate agent for more than 15 years. ten years ago, she specialized in selling foreclosed home for the first federal bank of california. >> in listing the bank-owned homes, have to put a lot of your own money out. for example, you know, fixing them up. painting. and flooring. >> and julie submitted some $58,000 in expenses. five days later, the fdic shut down her bank. along with others. like washington mutual. downy.

and pomon first federal. >> one west bank came in and took over first federal bank of california. they said, we don't owe you that money. that's first federal bank's debt. >> julie filed a claim with the fdic but never heard back. she wrote the money off as a loss. then, ten years later, she received an unexpected call. >> hey there, he said in 2009, did you file a claim against the fdic, and i said yes, keep talking. >> the caller then referred julie to the fdic's web site. he asked her to type in her name and the name of the failed bank. >> sure enough, it is not here, because they've mailed me my check. but there was my name, the reference number. >> julie received a call from someone called a fund finder and an entrepreneurial person who finds people who are due money. he told her he worked on the honor system. that if she received any money back, to give him a tip of 10%. her next step was to call the fdic to find out how much money

she really had coming if any. >> she says yeah, you have a check for $58,000 and i just about, my jaw just dropped, i couldn't believe it. >> we were there when julie called the fund finder back to tell him the good news. >> i have to say i thought the whole thing was a scam and i didn't think there was anything to it. i'm going to cry. so i thought i had know problem paying you your 10% so i want to pay you your 10% so i wanted to call and try to make your day. >> the fund finder declined to speak with us, saying he didn't want any publicity. julie, has sent him a check for $5800. >> it's an amazing service. and you know, it's a great opportunity. i mean more people should do it. >> i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. if you ever get a call like this, be careful. look up the phone numbers yourself. and double check the web sites referred to. and make sure they are who they claim to be. some scammers send money to unsuspecting victims, and convince them to send back money, days later the victim
