of what dallas and the niners mean to people. then we finished with last year, 2021, to show they are part of it. some of the film changes but it is all really the same and it was cool to watch and see the differences and to know that they are in the moment right now. larry: dallas beat a bad tampa bay team to advance. this is a franchise that last played in the nfl title game 27 years ago, so there is a todd of -- town of pressure on the cowboys. they come in as four point underdogs. >> we go in expecting to win so make no bones about that. regardless, i understand they have a job to do too. but we know the type of environment we are ready to go into. it will be a great environment, a huge challenge. we are kind of on the dallas cowboy fans showing up counting on the dallas cowboy fans to show up and we know they will. we are playing a tremendous football team. we know the way we need to play, what we need to do. larry: nba, warriors in

i'm larry beil. liz: making predictions, daring. let's get a check of the forecast and nice weather for this game. lisa: yes, we will see high clouds, another sunny day, counting at least eight sunny days before we see a return probably before february 1 to some rain in the bay area not looking at a whole lot of it but still a long ways out and as we look at live doppler 7, notice cloud cover, there will be a weak system visiting us. here is santa cruz where we preview this before but isn't this pretty? 35, a lot like yesterday. a cold morning and temperatures on the cool side, in the afternoon. 42 in the city, 36 oakland, 30 palo alto, 29 santa clara, 34 san jose, half moon bay at 37. a beautiful view from the roof camera, the sun up at seven to any one time, sets at 5:20. it is 31 livermore and napa freezing, below freezing by the

delta, above freezing concord and that brings us anywhere from 14 to 15 degrees colder than yesterday. with that dry wood north wind, the clear sky, we see from mount tam how beautiful that is so sunny days, cold nights this weekend, we extend that into next week but moderate the temperatures and overnight lows i can say for about eight days. it looks like the ninth and 10th day we could see a return to the rain, maybe january 30-31. looking at the warming trend by next week. here is the coastal flood advisory. it has been an issue the past couple days and the high tide continues by about 10:15, over seven feet later on sunday. you can see that bayshore areas, san francisco, parking lots flooded and that will be a temporary thing into the very low tide by this time tonight. more cloud cover with a weak system arriving tomorrow.

it thins out and we have more sunshine and a few high clouds when another sunny afternoon and not until next week when high pressure begins to build back in we will see temperatures,. the lighter wines today, anywhere from 10 to 20 miles an hour throughout the afternoon along the coast. into your sunday, a system to the east allowing for gusty offshore winds. by 11:00, over 20 miles per hour. through 4:00, we are 25 to 30 miles per hour. so that will keep it a little cool but by sunday night, milder , wave heights with our beach hazard statement, 32 tomorrow afternoon, over seven feet. pretty dangerous. highs in the mid 50's in oakland, 57 san jose, 58 santa rosa, about 60 yesterday, and into santa clara we go, tomorrow, kickoff 3:30, 58. halftime, it gets dark out and cold fast.

of course bringing the jackets for a winning afternoon. the acura seven-day forecast, seven days of sunny weather next saturday, looks like we bring in the clouds and maybe showers arriving sunday. so that time of year, the rain will be coming back which is good news because sometimes it does not. liz: that is true. that is good we are getting at least a little more even though we want to break. , calling all, 80 fans in san francisco. this year's sketch fest is back. the big names expected on the the big names expected on the st meet a future mom, the big names expected on the st a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there and start his own financial journey. that's because these moms all have chase. smart bankers. convenient tools. one bank with the power of both. chase.
