state's economy. a live look now at the santa cruz beach. hot temperatures brought lots of people out to the bay area coastlines, but it has since cooled down the golden gate national recreation area posted this picture along with parking alerts yesterday. muir beach reached capacity on saturday and stinson beach was nearly full. the park service saywe brought large crowds to crissy field and at least two of its parking lots were full. alcatraz was fully booked out on saturday, too. i felt like i put an inch of suntan lotion because this skin hasn't seen that kind of sun in a long time. you're right. and not for such an extended period of time. four days of near record heat here in the bay area and now all of a sudden, temperatures are dropping 20 to 25 degrees in just a 24 hour period. you don't see that often? >> no, you don't. that's unusual. but, hey, that's very weather. here's a look at live doppler seven. and you can probably see that we've got some well, there there was a there it goes. we had return of low clouds and fog to the coastline
6:19 pm
and along with a rather brisk onshore breeze. so we have temperature temperatures. we have wind speeds right now at the surface 22mph. here in san francisco, 23 at sfo and all around the area. it's becoming breezier and a whole lot cooler. check out this 24 hour temperature change, 23 degrees cooler right now in novato than at this time yesterday evening. 22 degrees cooler in santa rosa and in san carlos and all across the bay area, about 15 to 20 degrees or more cooler than at this time yesterday. here's a view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco just a moment before we went on the air, you could actually see parts of san francisco here. now all you can see is the advancing low clouds and fog temperature readings right now down to 56 here in the city, 64 in oakland, mountain view, 66, 73 in san jose, 69, palo alto and 57 at half moon bay. and from mt. tam, you can see more clouds now than we saw an hour ago, pushing not only through the golden gate, but out over the bay and current
6:20 pm
temperature readings excuse me, in other locations right now are 78. santa rosa, 70 and novato, napa 72 and low to mid 80s in inland areas like fairfield, concord and livermore where the cooling is not so sharp as it has been in other locations. here's a view from our rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero and these are our forecast headlines. it'll be much cooler weather the next few days. chance of showers tomorrow and perhaps even lingering into tuesday. and we can expect drier and warmer weather pattern beginning midweek. so for tonight, during the overnight hours, look for low clouds and fog increasing and some patchy drizzle near the coastline. but the more important precipita ation is this wave of showers coming our way that will be sweeping down through the north bay during the morning hours tomorrow. by about midday or so we'll see some of those showers reaching south and east of the golden gate. but as that happens, we'll also see the system weakening and the showers becoming lighter and more widespread by tomorrow evening, 6:00, 7:00, it should be pretty
6:21 pm
much over. there may be a lingering shower or two on tuesday, so rainfall estimates reached to 11 p.m. tuesday, at which point we expect the rainfall totals to be under a 10th of an inch, just about everywhere. low temperatures tonight will be generally in the mid to upper 50s, much cooler than we've seen the last several nights. highs tomorrow, mid 60s at the coast, about 68 here in san francisco up to about 70 degrees around the bay shoreline and not much of a warmup from the bay to inland. only low 70s will be the highs inland tomorrow. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. lingering chance of a shower or two early tuesday. then sunnier and a little bit milder on wednesday. but thursday and friday it starts to warm up a little bit more significant significantly. we'll see low 80s inland mid 70s on the bay shoreline and then it turns slightly cooler going into next weekend. >> now sports from abc7 news. good evening. >> steph curry isn't the only trick shot master on the warriors anymore. last night chris paul hit this bucket from behind the baseline and apparently a warriors assistant
6:22 pm
didn't think he'd make it. so cp3 said drop and give me 20 and do it right now as for the game, cp3 doesn't have a pregame handshake routine set with everybody just yet, so the hugs will have to do. his first bucket is a dub off a kevon looney screen. it's the patented mid range 11 footer. he had six points and five assists in 13 minutes. i saw cp3 and curry work on this in practice, it's already paying dividends. i'm telling you, it's fun just to watch these two practice and then the pick and roll with loon, the lob finish, the warriors won their preseason opener and it was all smiles afterwards. cp3 with a message for warriors fans as he walked off the court. >> man, it was cool. real cool. there you go. nice to hear the golden state fans cheering for me for a change. >> there's a pace to the game that that is fun to watch as a coach where you just kind of know he's going to just be making the right play over and over. and chris is amazing. it's really fun to have him on our side. finally it is good to have
6:23 pm
cp3 around. >> the 49 ers have a huge prime time matchup with the cowboys, the niners alumni, all in the house. vernon davis, frank gore, bryant young, steve young checking in on brock purdy. big games always bring out the legends and the niners were also interested in this one the eagles the only undefeated team left visiting the rams qb matt stafford threw two first half touchdowns. one to rookie sensation pwc and the rams up 1410 with just 30s left before the half pylon cam alert. i love that. but the eagles fly down the field and on the last play of the game they get in using what they call the brotherly shove, where the line pushes. jalen hurts over the goal line. eagles take the lead at the half and the rams do not score again. stafford sacked four times. eagles win 2314. they stay undefeated. we'll see if the niners stay undefeated tonight. again host the cowboys chiefs in minnesota. the biggest news of the game. taylor swift was not there all the vikings fans were bummed. maybe travis kelsey was relaxed with all the extra attention he caught a touchdown
6:24 pm
after missing the endzone last week with swift in attendance. chiefs led 2713 at one point. the vikings had a chance to tie on the last play of the game with a hail mary. but kirk cousins ends up getting sacked. the chiefs win 2720 to improve to four and one. the vikings meanwhile, are struggling at one and four. bruce botching the rangers, trying to go two and zero on santa rosa's. brandon hyde and the orioles. the o's took an early two zero lead, but the rangers roared back, scoring nine straight. mitch garver, the grand slam to make it nine two into a sea of orange. there and the camera just barely catching a bougie grin. o's fans in disbelief. the rangers hang on to win at 11 to 8 and they can wrap up the best of five series in dallas on tuesday. and right now, the 49 ers are up 14. nothing on the dallas cowboys sunday night football big matchup. the niners have clearly come to play and prove that they are the team to beat in the nfl. j.r >> i'm so excited about the niners but i got to say, am i the only one still getting used to seeing chris paul in a
6:25 pm
warriors outfit? it takes a lot getting used to, but i've been to a few practices. >> we saw the preseason game and he is so much fun to watch with steph. i didn't think i'd enjoy it as much as i have. i'm i'm excited. >> i'm optimistic. i just got to get used to it. the party's still going strong. after nearly 125 years, a cultural celebrate, one that began in 1869 returned to the streets of san francisco today. we'll check i
