going on on our satellite radar composite image. you can see that cold front pushing into the pacific northwest right now producing rainfall. well well to our north at the moment. but of course we're going to get some of that rain and probably about the next six, not six, next six hours, next 12 hours or so. so let's move along. take a look at the calm wind conditions right now. wind speeds are under ten miles per hour all across the bay area, so the weather is certainly calm at the moment and skies are mainly clear, although a few clouds are showing up. it's 60 degrees in san francisco right now. we have mid 60s at oakland and hayward and san jose, 70 at redwood city and 54 at half moon bay. nice view from mount tam. looking down onto the bay. you see a few clouds gathering there in the sky at the moment. low 60s right now at santa rosa, petaluma, napa, 60 degrees at fairfield, and we have 64 at concord and livermore and looking at the post-sunset sky from the east bay hills. camera. these are our forecast headlines tomorrow, veteran's day, rainy, breezy and cooler. tuesday we get a brief sunny break that won't last very long. thus the

word brief uh- wednesday through the weekend we have chances of rain and drizzle with little intervals of sunshine here and there. but for tonight, this is the way things are shaping up on the forecast animation. starting at 8:00 this evening, we'll see a little bit of light rain pushing onto the shore here up near well, not near cloverdale, but onto the north coast and then later in the overnight hours, we'll see that frontal system beginning to push inland by 7:00 tomorrow morning. we should see some rain developing, at least around cloverdale, if not down to santa rosa. but that front's going to sweep through rather quickly and by noon it will be winding down in the north bay. the rainfall will. it will be pushing over to the east bay and south of the golden gate, down to the peninsula and south bay, and it should be generally over for the bay area by about 3:00 in the afternoon. then it moves on over into the sierra as a snow producer. so in the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale, this is a level one storm, a storm of light intensity producing light to moderate rainfall tomorrow. slippery roads, breezy to gusty at times, and the rainfall totals when it's all over. late tomorrow

night will range generally from about 2/10 of an inch to about 4/10 of an inch. a little bit more, though, in places like napa and yountville, about 4/10 of an inch in those places. and on we go to the sierra where a winter storm. winter weather advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. tomorrow to midnight tomorrow. 2 to 8in of snow, generally above 6500ft, with gusts up to 45mph. back here in the bay area tonight, low temperatures will be mainly in the low 50s. low to mid 50s. as you get closer to the coast it gets a little bit milder and then highs tomorrow. upper 50s at the coast mainly low 60s right around the bay shoreline, about 6263 degrees and not more than about 64 in our inland areas. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. once again, a reminder tomorrow is veterans day, a good day to honor our veterans, of course, and it's a level one storm tomorrow. mostly sunny day. nice, sunny break on tuesday. periods of drizzle with intervals of sunshine. wednesday and thursday, rainier and cooler on friday and then going into next weekend. more intervals of

clouds and sun and drizzle. >> okay. thanks, spencer. al right. chris is back. hi, dion. you wouldn't miss football sunday. no i wouldn't. >> you said i looked tired today. no, i would never say that. the reason is, you know, daylight saving time. i'm still. listen. >> you also have a small baby and a baby. >> small baby. march 10th is when you get to go spring forward. but before then, plenty of football. the niners second half of the season in tampa bay. welcome back, cmc. maybe i'll have some rest by march. and it was a fight to the finish. i mean literally deebo doesn't like daylight saving time. the niners like a win though. and they got that in tampa.

playoff push today in tampa bay during the kyle shanahan era. niners have been really a better team after the bye and today, the season debut of christian mccaffrey. after missing the first eight games with achilles tendinitis and cmc number 23. good to see him back on the sidelines and especially on the field late first quarter. brock purdy connects with hey there's ricky pearsall and this will be

the rookie's first career touchdown. i mean, just ten weeks ago after getting shot in union square, saved that football a memory he'll remember forever. straight to the fourth. niners down four. purdy pressured. kind of floats one up and there's mccaffrey on a wheel route. explosive play. niners just outside the red zone. he had 107 total yards in his return. later on the drive. purdy buying time. and he's going to make a play here. a little scramble drill. get it to george kittle. the corner of the end zone. what a catch. purdy 353 yards two scores. kittle has scored six of his in six of seven games. but three minutes to go. niners up three. trying to extend the lead jake moon returning from injury. missed three. field goals. there is one of them. deebo samuel didn't like something. pushes taybor pepper and moody. a little feisty there. keeps the door open for tampa bay. that turned to this. under two minutes to go. fourth and seven baker mayfield fighting off nick bosa. i mean what happened there. a first down pass. the bucks would

eventually kick a game tying field goal. this is one of the plays of the day. nick bosa is a strong man. baker making a play. let's go to overtime. purdy drove the niners down then redemption for moody 44 yard walk off winner. niners win 2320. they're five and four. and mccaffrey he's thrilled to be back. >> i'm just happy i'm i'm here man. i mean that was that was a long journey and a lot of long days. so it feels good to win. and it feels good to just play in a football game again. do i wish we blew them out by 30? >> of course. >> but at the end of the day, i want to make sure that we're playing our best ball when it's needed at the end of the season, right. >> and we look at the tape this game and you much rather learn off of a win and a loss. >> let's kick it. you saw it right here on abc seven bay fc. just the second expansion team to make the playoffs in their first year facing the washington spirit in d.c. minute it's ashot oshoala opening the scoring one nil. bay fc and it's time to dance. but the spirit took the lead in extra time when bay fc unfortunately knocked in an own

goal and they fall two one. but congrats to a playoff berth in their very first season. that is a big deal. it is now tara vanderveer court. a big day at stanford ahead of today's game against gonzaga, renaming the floor after the legendary coach who just retired this spring after 38 years. coach vanderveer, currently the ncaa's all time winningest coach in basketball history. her mom and many former players were there. and true to her. tara appreciates the little touches the most. >> well, it's actually my signature. that's really my signature. so it's really special. i'm just, you know, it's just you have to pinch yourself that this is like your life, and it's. i just feel so blessed and so fortunate. >> and i apologize that niners game did not go to overtime. still daylight saving
