5:45 am
johnson 48 yards. he speeds to the house seven nothing ducks at home late first quarter oregon up 14 three and now a ducks turnover they miss time the snap ball bounces off the man in motion and cal's noel williams that's a scoop and score for cal down 1410 they got it within a point 1413 but oregon scored three times inside the final 5.5 minutes of the second quarter. nix accounted for six touchdowns as oregon rolls 63 to 19. cal is three and six with three games to go. stanford on the palouse to face wazoo in a crowd surfing cougar. a lot of fun there. rough game though. stanford trailed seven at the half third quarter balls rolls right off a receiver and right into scottie edwards hands and stanford in business that's a wild play for the turnover backup quarterback justin lampson he's going to pound it in from a yard out to tie things up at seven. and here we go, fourth quarter, the cardinal managed one more drive and joshua karty kicked the eventual game winner from 41 yards out. and stanford wins 10

to 7, improving to three and six. all three of their wins have come on the road. the warriors have won five straight games. they're a perfect four and oh on the road. remember, they didn't win their fourth road game last season until mid-january. and thanks in part to the splash brothers hitting game winners with 0.2 seconds to go. first on wednesday, warriors down one klay thompson buries the jumper with 0.2 seconds to go to beat the kings at home. and then friday night on the road in okc game tied stephen curry dribble drive and got it to go with 0.2 left to beat the thunder now that play originally called basket interference on draymond green but after review determined he grabbed the rim and didn't touch the ball so you can count the basket friday night's win also golden state's first in the new nba cup in season tournament i think everybody's trying to you know get off to good starts during the year the in-season tournament vibe and the court change and all that just added a little extra energy to it.

>> so playoff game and it was fun game to play in the intensity level was there. so job well done to the nba adding this type of excitement in november because it'd be some dark days in november for sharks hosting longtime shark eric carlson the penguins san jose still looking for their first win of the season. >> pittsburgh scored 90s in and a lot more after that. sidney crosby leaving it for kris letang and that is too easy. made it six one at that point. for the first time ever, the sharks gave up ten goals in consecutive games, ten to the final. they're now oh ten and one. that is your look at sports. have a great morning. let's send it back to you. >> all right, chris, thank you. and lisa, i can't believe we have to wait another week before the niners play again next sunday. >> i know. and we're exactly we're waiting for rain to and some cooler weather because it's been so warm you're out in the sun and i think that sun feels really hot and we will see it change with the cloud cover a few spotty showers and tomorrow
5:48 am
looking more like fall as we get into a pretty decent cold front. nothing except beneficial. here's a live doppler seven. a couple of systems headed our way. it's the second system that will get all of us wet. right now we are cloudy. relative humidity is quite high. a few spotty showers from 5 to 80, maybe into the east bay out towards tracy. it is 58. in oakland, 60 in concord with 59. santa rosa and san jose. so starting out maybe 2 to 9 degrees warmer. a view from sutro. the cloud cover out there, very dense fog along the central coast and we could see a little bit of that. and like we had yesterday day cloudy with spotty light showers. today, that weak level one system, a stronger, more widespread rain tomorrow starting in the north bay, allowing for a slippery, slippery commute there. and then it sort of falls apart as it pushes into the south bay. cool and dry for tuesday, wednesday, thursday, freezing cold mornings where temperatures will be quite frosty for many of us and looks
5:49 am
like another opportunity of maybe some light rain on friday. this is the way it looks this morning. notice how very light and spotty these showers are as we go through the day on sunday. so certainly not worth it to cancel any plans. but we're not going to have all that sun that we had in the past few days stopping this at 830 monday morning. you can see some pretty good rain from parts of the north bay into napa and then it pushes through san francisco about 10:00, the east bay and south bay throughout the early afternoon. so the evening commute, no problems here. it will be dry and then maybe a lingering shower on tuesday. but overall, it's a much colder air mass. we're getting a couple of inches of snow in the sierra nevada, highest elevations. but rainfall totals not impressive for the first system on today, way later on today, a couple hundredths here and there. but we add in what to expect into your monday by the evening hours a quarter to a third of an inch for some of those areas with the highest totals and notice the south bay there may be just a
5:50 am
couple hundred. so we are looking at a pretty good system and it all will certainly be what we need for this time of year as we get into to this cooler pattern. monday highs only in the 60s, average highs, upper 60s, downtown to near 70 and san jose and santa rosa so shy of that for your monday. but this will end up being a dry second half of the day for most of you. and then into tuesday partly cloudy temperatures even a little cooler. and as we get into your wednesday coming up, maybe a few degrees, but really not like what we've seen with those 70s and 80s around the bay. so as for the rest of the workweek, here's the system for your monday. then we get that break throughout the middle of the week and that's the weak system expected on friday. a dry start to the weekend, about 71 in fremont, 65 in santa rosa. all that cloud cover with 70 along the peninsula so cooler today. the accuweather seven day forecast i've said that every
5:51 am
day right but today will be cooler and looking at a more widespread rain on monday with just 60s and 70 soquel's and those cold mornings. i haven't turned on my heat yet. have you know i know i need to time. >> yeah especially this week. yeah. all right, lisa, thanks. still ahead, the proposal coming from bay area scientists to fight climate change along california's coast and beyond ♪ heatin' up the kitchen ♪ ♪ we got somethin different ♪ ♪ spreadin' good vibes all day ♪
