livermore. as we look at our 24-hour temperature change the numbers keep getting cooler. a dry northerly flow headed our way today aiding in our warmup and allowing temperatures to drop quickly. in the 40s right now in santa cruz, upper 60s on the way, so sunny and warmer for most but the high clouds entering the north bay, sprinkles making it as far south for parts of sonoma, otherwise the rain returns widespread on tuesday. we're looking at even warmer weather for wednesday, so it's getting a little hazy in spots, not a lot of wind. the winds are very light so that's why the air quality is moderate in the north bay, that stagnant ridge of high pressure also in the santa clara valley, in between, we do have good air quality. coastal flood advisory for this morning and tomorrow morning, as the king tides are back, so right along the coast here could see some localized flooding. 6.9 is the high tide, happening today at 10:44, 11:25 for your monday, so some of those parking lots, those marshes that tend to flood once again probably will

throughout the morning hours. here is a look at our hour-by-hour forecast and the cloud cover advancing into the north bay, maybe some sprinkles, but the rest of the bay nothing but sunshine for the next several days, and in fact, as we get into your late monday, it's the high clouds advancing in front of this system that will bring more widespread rain, quarter inch or less for inland valleys, but most of the favorable areas will be in the north bay for upwards of about three-quarters of an inch of rain. so looking at that sierra snow and then dry conditions after that, into thursday and friday. so highs today anywhere from about 670 on the coast to 70 in concord. that's a nice day, 71 in morgan hill. partly to mostly cloudy by later on this afternoon in santa rosa, 66 there. 68 in napa, and the accuweather seven-day forecast, some 70s for today, with the clouds in the north, maybe a sprinkle. milder and sunnier for your monday, level one system tuesday

>> good morning. at 3-0, san jose state has matched their best start to a season since 1982, sparty with a chance to improve to 4-0 against a winless unlv squad. here we go. first quarter, from the south bay, spartans down 3-0. nick starkle to bailey gaither and he does the rest. 41 yards to the house and it is 7-3 spartans. second quarter, tyler nevins, two yards in, 17-3. sparty party rolling, the home team again. starkle quick pass to gaither, another touchdown 24-10 at the break and fourth quarter, check out this run from kyrie robinson, cuts it back and dives in, that made it 31-7. spartans win 34-17, they're 4-0 and play at fresno state next saturday. what a wild week for the pac-12, several cancellations. and rescheduled games due to covid. stanford starting quarterback davis mills making a season debut. we a false positive that forced him to stay out last week at oregon. stanford hosting colorado,

some legends in the stands, andrew luck, christian mccaffrey, john elway in the cardboard cutout form. third quarter, colorado up big. sam noyer finds a wide open brendan rice and the freshman wideout is the son of jerry rice, looked like his dad on that day. davis mills scores the option keeper, 28-16. first play of the fourth, the bus, mangham punches it in. 16-35, colorado. stanford handing it to austin jones, this touchdown gives the cardinal life but under three minutes to go, stanford still down, 35-24. davis mills to scooter harrington for the short score. they get the two-point conversion, it's a 35-32 game. final chance for stanford they need a miracle here for the lar laterals, they're not going to work out. colorado hangs on 35-32. stanford drops to 0-2. the cardinal will host washington state next week. as with everything in 2020, there's been plenty of change, including to the tradition like no other, the masters played in the fall without fans at augusta

national but still a green jacket awaiting the winner sunday afternoon, a beautiful fall day in augusta, defending champion tiger woods shot an even 72 on moving day, gets the birdie to drop here on 12, he's 5 under, tied for 20th. sung-jae im on the 11th, lines it up perfectly and this thing is going to roll right into the he shot a 4 under 68, tied for second place at 12 under. so it's cameron smith tied for second. and dustin johnson a blistering 7 under 65, a long putt falls the world number one ranked player has just one major win, that's the 2016 u.s. open, but making a push for the green jacket with shots like this on 7, he's the leader at 16 under, a four-shot lead over three players tied for second, d.j. is the first player in masters history with multiple rounds of 65 or better in the same week. should be an interesting sunday there at the masters. that's your look at sports.

send it back to you. let's get a check of the weather. another chilly morning. >> yes, it's cold and you know, liz, the dew points are into the 30s. we have those dry northerly winds, and so we keep talking about the colder temperatures, but it's because of that north wind, driving down the numbers, and waking up colder than the day before, and that's exactly what's happening across the bay area, as we look at mt. tam, what a lovely sight here, right? we'll have plenty of sunshine out there today for most of you. numbers well into the 60s here for livermore, and even 70 tomorrow. you only picked up 0.08 from friday's rainfall. up the road in concord, 0.02 but in danville, a third of an inch, so rainfall amounts really varying widely. the view of the golden gate bridge and we are looking at that chance of rain tuesday and wednesday, but you know, our la nina conditions where we have the cooler equatorial pacific

sea surface temperatures looking likely, more rainfall to the north of san francisco, and we are trending kind of on the edge, which means somewhat drier than average for about 85% chance there of the winter continuing this regime. so we're looking at the storm track well to the north, and a piece of that energy perhaps falling as far south as sonoma later on today. as we look live here, this is san rafael, where it is sunny or clear, 48 in san francisco, 39 in gilroy. so cooler numbers, where you've got the clear sky, and some cloud cover up in santa rosa, and we're also looking at a little bit of haze, volmer peak but moderate air quality for parts of the bay area today. 36 santa rosa, look at all the 30s, cool numbers with numbers in the low 40s, but you have to get out towards concord and temperatures are going to be a little bit slow to warm and then quicker to warm as we get into the mid morning hours. so anywhere from a degree to about 13 degrees colder this

morning, and look at this pretty shot here, from santa cruz, where it's in the 40s and highs today will be well into the upper 60s. so a gorgeous view there. sunny and warmer for most, but the increasing clouds north, and that's going to allow for maybe a few sprinkles from northern sonoma county but the rain widespread for us on tuesday, and wednesday. our only chance of it throughout the work week. so with the air quality pretty good throughout most of the bay area, we want to pass on the moderate air quality in the north bay and also the santa clara region, winds are very, very light out there, so barely a sea breeze. but we have our coastal flood advisory with the king tides returning for this morning, and into monday morning. 6.9 feet is the high tide, and the next several hours, featuring the increasing clouds towards noontime, from the north bay, you can see any sprinkles that develop won't be much of them. a lot of sunshine for your monday, increasing clouds late in advance of this system that arrives for most of us on tuesday, and lingering into

wednesday. so rainfall amounts anywhere from a quarter inch to maybe an inch if we're lucky here. the second half of the work week trending dry, highs today from the 60s to near 70 in antioch. 72 by the delta. 71 in san rafael, even with high clouds the accuweather seven-day forecast we're mild and the level one system tuesday and wednesday, some gusty winds arriving tuesday, and then the dry conditions continue the rest of the week. liz? >> all right, lisa, thank you. the bay area is known as an epicenter of the animal rescue movement but soon one nonprofit group to be contributing to the effort in a different way. dan ashley says it explains rescuing the habitat that supports the animals themselves. >> for more than half a century they protected exotic plants from the threat of extinction. but walking into the nursery at san francisco botanical garden you get the idea the buildings

themselves should be on an endanger list. wooden tables once used to nurture seedlings from the far corners of the world are now barely standing, overcome by not so exotic weeds and damage to the shelter itself. >> you can see we've had issues with some vandalism people crashing through the ceiling. >> it's kind of held together with duct tape at this point. >> reporter: and with it, says director stephanie lind reis the fgarden's critical mission. over the decades the grounds inside golden gate park have become a sanctuary for plants threatened from climate change to clear-cutting. these wax palms from colombia are believed to be the first to bloom in north america and along with the plants come the life that they support. >> people get excited about saving endangered animals, but what they don't often realize is that saving those animals depends on saving their habitat. >> reporter: to do that, the garden is planning to break ground on a new $6 million nursery center. the state-of-the-art facility will allow the garden to become a worldwide effort with a

partnership with conservation international. the curator returned from kenya and says much of the african continent is facing severe challenges. >> a lot of the tree species, especially the ones of high timber value or high medicinal value, tend to be cut the larger specimens. >> reporter: because san francisco's temperatures and fog mimic the climate of many milder ecosystems, the garden could become an epicenter for restoration. >> we can be a refuge for plants that are threatened in their natural habitat, they're threatened, we can be a backup population here. >> reporter: dan ashley, abc 7 news. >> and the botanical garden raised about 80% of the money they need for the nursery, in part through generous matching grants, but they're still in a final fund-raising push. if you'd like to help, we have links on our website abc7news.com. next, you'll get to sing with some of the biggest superstars in music once again in disney's third sing-along.

highs today ranging from the mid-60s in san mateo to about 70 for you in concord. we've got the high clouds in the north bay, maybe a few sprinkles from sonoma county, but otherwise it's sunny and mild, continuing for your monday, level one system very gusty winds to start out on tuesday, the rain ending on wednesday, and then dry weather the second half of the week. so at least we have one system to look forward to, liz, adding to the rain total we've had so far. >> for sure. lisa, thank you. thank you all for joining us here on "abc 7 mornings." i'm liz kreutz along with lisa argen. abc 7 news continues at 9:00 a.m. "good morning america" is next.
