i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. and i only need to take it once a week. plus, it lowers the risk of cardiovascular events. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain,

blocking the entire street. pg&e got to work fixing those lines right away. all right. high winds and the high surf. also talking about those increasing temperatures, drew. >> yeah, dion. we're watching that surf very closely. and later on tonight, we will see some areas of dense fog developing first thing tomorrow morning. live doppler 7 earlier this morning. we had some pockets of mist and drizzle, mainly confined to the north bay and along the coast. the mist and drizzle is out of here. but the cloud cover is still with us tonight. look at that high surf warning. it's in effect until 9:00 p.m. this evening. and you can see right now wave heights anywhere from 13 to 19-feet high. we're still under the influence of that north-northwesterly swell. so breakers could go as high as 28 feet, even exceed 28 feet under this high surf warning. so it's a really good idea, even at night, not to go anywhere

near the ocean water. we're tracking the risk of sneaker waves and also some strong rip currents right now. temperatures, we're falling into the 40s and 50s. earlier today the warmest spots got into the low 60s. 55 in hayward. 49 in livermore. the same right now in santa rosa. we're already beginning to see our first glimpses of fog developing. you can see that along the coast right now. half moon bay, visibility is down to 5 miles. a little bit of fog developing there the inland east bay or livermore is down to 7 miles. but we anticipate that fog to just continue to thicken over the next several hours. so it's for that fact. a dense fog advisory goes into effect for solano county, starting at midnight. lasting through 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. where visibility could drop below a quarter of a mile at times. certainly if you're driving, use your low beams and also keep more distant between the cars around you. tomorrow it's a pretty gray start to the day. not only the fog we're tracking,

but mainly overcast skies first thing. as that fog begins to break down in the early afternoon, we may get some breaks in the cloud cover for a little bit of sunshine here and there. but the overall theme of our monday is it's a pretty gray day to start out the new week. we do have a coastal flood advisory as well going in the morning. this is because we're under the influence of our king tides over the next couple of days. of course, those are the highest high tides we see all year. minor coastal flooding is of concern, especially if you live very close to the coastal waters. so overnight tonight, we'll track those overcast skies, that dense fog. mid 30s to mid-40s for overnight lows. tomorrow, we'll call it mostly cloudy out there. some peeks of sunshine here and there. upper 50s to lower 60s for your afternoon highs. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. that dense morning fog first thing. tuesday, there is another chance of a sprinkle, mainly in the north bay. but the theme is there is no beneficial rain over the next seven days. in fact, we'll track possible

warmth thursday and friday with the warmest spots in the low 70s. now abc7 news sports with chris alvarez. >> the warriors and raptors are going head to head at chase center tonight. we'll have highlights at 11:00. earlier today, the reminder of the constant challenge of playing sports during a pandemic. tonight's game between the heat and celtics postponed because miami didn't have the minimum eight players required due to ongoing contact tracing. other teams like dallas and philadelphia also dealing with covid issues. warriors coach steve kerr says if it gets to be too much, he believes the league will shut down again. >> i'm confident that if we get to a point where we feel like this is endangering people's health and people's lives, that we'll stop. if that point comes, i'm confident that decision will be made. so really, we're trying to listen to the league, listen to our own people and our own organization, to our city officials, and just do

everything according to what's being laid out for us. and then we'll go from there and see where it all goes. super wild card weekend continued today. three more nfl play-off games. they got started right here abc7. looking to get revenge on a titans team that knocked them out of the play-offs last year. ryan tannehill finds aj brown for the game's first score. tennessee got out to a 10-0 lead, but late first half, lamar gets loose. no one to pass to. decides to take it down and run it himself. turns on the jets, and he is so fast. 48 yards for the score. here comes the pylon cam. 315 all purpose yards and two scores. the ravens scored 17 unanswered to take the lead. fourth quarter, two minutes left. titans down seven. tannehill looking for a big play, but he is picked off by oakland's own marcus peters. that's it. that's all. baltimore would stomp on the logo at midfield. the ravens win 20-13.
