11:19 pm
gusting 25, 30 miles per hour in our strongest spots. this evening though the winds have really backed off. tomo light, so tomorrow is certainy not as breezy as today was. numbers are falling into the 40s in our coldest spot at this hour, down to 47 in san mateo. 49 in hayward. 45 in santa rosa. 42, that current temperature in san ramon. so with light wind and clear skies, that's a recipe for a chilly night ahead. live doppler 7 along with satellite, the larger picture showing you there's the cold front that moved through here, dissipated as it moved through southern california, and now high pressure will move in. that is going to create the quiet, dry pattern over the next couple of days, and also warmer temperatures in the afternoon. overnight tonight, let's find mainly clear skies. i think we will find a couple of areas of patchy frost in the north bay because temperatures dropping well into the 30s from lakeport to santa rosa to napa, around the bay shoreline, low to mid 40s.

11:21 pm
warm up as well. the next three days, that winter warmth, especially around l.a., will likely find a couple of days, monday, where temperatures hit the low 80s in parts of southern california. so certainly nowhere near where we should be this time of the year. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. mostly sunny tomorrow. warmer weather moves in here on monday with 70s in our warmest spots. looks like tuesday is the warmest day we have over the next seven days. we cool off midweek, a little closer to average, dion, but nonetheless we will keep that sunshine. we will keep that dry pattern at least through next weekend. our next chance of any wet weather could come in the first week of march, so we'll keep you updated on that. nonetheless, warmer temperatures the next couple of days. >> all right, drew. sounds good, thanks. still ahead on "abc 7 news" at 11:00, an online dumpling making case with a s

here is our after the game crew, breaking down a final crazy sequence in charlotte. >> it is back-to-back heartbreaking losses for the warriors, but what sets this one apart from the orlando game, o'donnell, is to lose in such bizarre fashion. have you ever seen anything like that at the end of the game? >> no, it has been really -- this has been an insanesequence getting the time-out to the jump ball being on the floor and then losing the game. it was extraordinary. this is going to be a tough one for them to get over. >> i mean especially in a game where you don't have steph curry, you get off to a really slow start, only 15 points in the first quart. read a tri game, team effort and then the win goes through your fingertips. >> you know, you talk a lot about finishing a game, playing for 48 minutes. this is one of those times where, you know, the game got away with them really with 30, 40 seconds in the game. it is pretty unfortunate but they will learn a lot from this and they will regroup and hopefully get ready for the next
11:54 pm
game. >> draymond green is such a key part of the warriors' success on the court. he is a really smart player, but he pushes it with the officials at times and at times goes over the line. that's kind of what happened tonight. if you could tell draymond anything, if you were trying to coach him up in a certain way, what would you tell him? >> you're the senior on this team, you are one of the leaders on the team, and the younger players are watching you. you owe it to them to be that states person on the floor, especially getting the first technical. getting the second one is unacceptable in a game where you pretty much give the team an opportunity to tie the game and lose after the whole team played a remarkable game. you have to be bigger and better than that. >> it is only the second time in history that the hornets have beaten the warriors on a buzzer beater. the last time it happened was 1989 and the shooter was steph's dad. >> can't make that stuff up. >> no. and steve kerr doesn't want to make it up.
