the national weather serivce and you can see most of the activity offshore. look at highway one from boulder creek and santa cruz mountains looking at a rain-snow mix at this hour. as we get closer to mount hamilton, all of the upper elevations in the 20's. we are talking 26 mount diablo and 27 matt hamilton. all of that activity continues to push to the south and east on some strong northerly winds and that will be what we feel today. a breezy and cool afternoon. 44 in oakland and union city. 42 in fremont. looking at 30's arriving from santa rosa to napa, fairfield, it is freezing. we talked about the upper elevations and how much colder it is there. four degrees colder along the coast. the peninsula, seven degrees colder. mountain view with 17 degrees cooling. there is a look outside. it is clear here in san francisco. that wintry mix sinking south, a

very cold start to the day tomorrow with widespread frost. perhaps a frost advisories. we will have to wait and see. looking at sunnier and mild weather not only tomorrow but into next week. some cloud cover wrapping around an area of low pressure that continues to pull down a little bit of moisture into the sierra nevada but into your late night, we are clear. we have a sunny day on the way on sunday. that moisture in the mountains will allow for a little bit of snow and 24 hour totals here ending throughout the afternoon, maybe a couple hundredths. with those clouds, we could squeeze out a few sprinkles. the level 1 system will be fading away toward the afternoon as we see partly cloudy skies. the winds are certainly going to be a factor. we are talking along the coast this morning then by midmorning, they dial back a little bit. but look what happens by they ramp back up over 20 miles an hour.

pretty breezy over the hills as well. another couple of inches for the mountains but most of the activity itself and we will continue to see some snow levels pretty low, 2000 feet. highs today from the upper 50's with that breeze in san mateo to 59 in san jose. may be in santa rosa. as 7-day forecast, chilly today, breezy winds, may be a sprinkle early this morning. a frosty start tomorrow, warmer, and upper 60's to near 70's. they will be arriving for everyone midweek, except for the coast. and then we will look for very little change as we get to where the end of the week and we are getting ready to spring forward next weekend. liz: already, wow. we are also counting down to the oscars. an oscar-nominated documentary will be shown in the bay area today and you can hear directly from the director. reporter gloria rodriguez spoke to the director of the film, "the queen of basketball."

gloria: the oscar nominated documentary "the queen of basketball" highlights the life of lucia harris. she scored the first basket in women's olympic history, won three national championships in the mid-1970's, and was the only woman officially drafted by the nba. but her story largely unknown until now. that her story was overlooked because she was a woman and the inequity and lack of parity between genders in basketball are stark. the highest-paid wnba player makes less than the lowest paid nba player. it is outrageous is what it is. i also think that race plays a role.

she is an african-american woman coming from the mississippi delta and she overcame a lot. gloria: the documentary tackles serious subjects such as her battle with bipolar disorder and not having anywhere to play after college when she was at the top of her career. >> she was a superstar and yet, the wnba did not exist. there was no place for her to play and it would not exist for another 20 years. that moment when you are following her story, her trajectory, that rocketship that is taking off and then suddenly, there is no more fuel in the tank, i think it is heartbreaking to experience. gloria: harris, turning down the nba, and raising a family. she says she did not regret it because of this success her children have had. the documentary is now nominated for an academy award for best documentary short subject. shaquille o'neal, the executive

producer. >> he is extremely funny. he is always joking that he was upset that it is only 22 minutes long and it needs to be longer. he was joking that he was mad at me that it was only a short documentary. at the same time, very reverent and serious about her story getting out there. gloria: harris, passing away in january at the age of 66. >> she was incredibly involved, excited about the fact that people were finally reaching out and appreciating her for the story. it was a wonderful thing in her life. i feel grateful that we made the film when we did so we have the story in her words and she lives on in a way in this film and her story will be known and it is becoming known by millions of people. >> i think women's basketball has come of age this week.

liz: that was gloria rodriguez. harris was the first black woman inducted into the basketball hall of fame. the film will be shown on sacramento street in san francisco at noon. you can watch it on youtube for free. the creators want to make sure her story is shared with everyone. you can see who takes home oscar gold only here on abc7. the show is sunday, march 27 at 5:00 p.m. san francisco's union square will be filled with flowers. the special event today to celebrate two holidays.
