office this weekend. the latest film in the marvel cinematic universe made more than $140 million and counting here in the u.s.. it is already made more than 300 million dollars worldwide so far for disney, the parent company of both marvel and abc 7. all right, i am thinking about a good line not too long ago that the prices of gas and stamps are going up. >> they are going down, but temperatures are going up. oh yeah, way up and fact. check out the 24 hour temperature change and you can see why weather is a big story today. it is 13 degrees warmer, excuse me. i inhaled the wrong way i guess. 13 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. san francisco, nine degrees warmer, nevada, warmer. it's warmer everywhere. is going to be warm tomorrow as well. it got a nice robust onshore flow now. wind in san francisco at the surface, 27 miles per hour, but the cooling influence of those winds is being out near the coastline. it is still warm inland.

shoreline, typical for this time of year. no extremes in the weather ranges in the high temperature range after tomorrow. >> now, abc 7 sports with chris alvarez. chris: final round of american century championship up in lake tahoe. you could not ask for better weather or golf. fans of the course got their money worth this weekend, even the experts fall off sometimes. stephen curry, not his best day on the course but he buries a long birdie on 16. finishing second in the family challenge to his dad. evans, shot of the day. aaron rodgers had for birdies and how about an eagle on a team to finish his day and his tournament. he finished ninth overall. this went to a three-man playoff, three-time champion former a's pitcher mark aller, in some trouble and then more trouble. into the water on the second playoff hole. that was not good. former shark joe missed an eagle to win on the first playoff hole
