at san jose and hayward. half moon bay, 49 at redwood city. now here's a view from mount tam under mainly clear skies, looking down onto the bay and looking at parts of san francisco 47 degrees up north of santa rosa. right now petaluma at 4346, in napa, fairfield only 42 degrees 48 concord. livermore 46. and looking across the embarcadero fromr rooftop camera, you see how calm the conditions are. these are our forecast headlines tomorrow through tuesday, we can expect sunny skies with gradual cooling as we get into the first few days of the week. midweek clouds will increase and then towards the end of the week, friday into saturday, rain chances increase. i'll get to that in just a moment, but first, a look at our overnight conditions on the futurecast notice skies will remain mostly clear, but as we get into 4 or 5 a.m, we'll see those passing high clouds increase just a bit, so it will become fairly cloudy in the wee hours of the morning. but then by about 9 a.m. or so, most of those clouds will be out of here.

skies will be turning sunnier overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s 49 san francisco 48 oakland and 46 to 47 around the bay shoreline. a little bit chillier up in the far north, with lows dropping to about 40 at lakeport, 42 at santa rosa over at fairfield, a low of 41. and then highs tomorrow under mainly sunny skies except for the passing clouds here and there. but 60 one half moon bay, 63, in san francisco, mainly mid 60s around the bay shoreline up in the north bay 68 santa rosa, mid to upper 60s in the inland east bay and we'll see highs of 68 at san jose and morgan hill. now the futurecast shows by midweek. or you know well by midweek, wednesday into thursday we'll see some rain approaching the bay area. it won't really develop though until about friday into saturday. that's our best chance of some rainfall in the seven days ahead. and speaking of those seven days, here they are on the accuweather seven day forecast, dry conditions and relatively mild through monday, cooling down a bit on tuesday and wednesday as skies turn partly cloudy.

then on thursday, slight chance of rain, but a little iffy there. friday and saturday we are better chances of rain, especially on saturday. it looks like the system that's approaching us will be a little bit more organized and more have more energy by the time saturday rolls around, so if it does rain on saturday, we're ranking at level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm it scale. a storm of light intensity. okay, we need the rain right now because it's getting a little dry. >> yeah, that's great that we're going to see that. and so tomorrow would be probably the best day to put up the holiday lights. if you haven't done so already i think. >> so it will be mild and dry. get it done while the weather is good. >> i know christmas is less than three weeks away. it's coming up quick. well still ahead on abc seven news at 11, bart is definitely back in the holiday spirit. the celebration of sweaters some good, some not so good that it

finally getting their first players via the wnba expansion draft with the draft party friday night at the san francisco museum of modern art. the new team's picks announced by michelle wie west, baron davis and of course, e-40. the seven of seven of the team's 11 players were international. i was one of the first people to interview valkyrie's gm ohanian afterwards, and apparently was one of the first people to allow her to relax. all right, you can finally breathe now. go ahead and take that deep breath. >> thank you for asking me to take a deep breath. i haven't taken one yet. >> yeah, i bet. what if the last two weeks been like for you? >> they've been thoughtful, i would say like, they've been super emotional. they've been hard working. it's been a great experience in trying to figure out who's going to be a part of the valkyries. that's the one question that i've been asked outside of who's going to be my head coach. and so i did that.y

and now we have players and working with coach and okc. my vp of ops, vanya, we've just been, you know, hunkered down. i called my family and just said, if you don't hear from me in two weeks, that's okay. i'm here and i'm working really hard to make sure that our organization and that our fans are proud of our inaugural athletes. >> building a roster isn't something new to you. we saw what you did with the new york liberty, but just starting from a blank canvas. insane it is. >> i really highlighted that when i first got this opportunity, i was i embraced it. i thought, yes, and then behind closed doort was blank. and i thought to myself, okay, well, now i have to go and, you know, create something. and i think that we put a lot of effort into making sure that we are proud more specifically. and then hopefully our fans will be too. >> the players that you guys did

pick, we knew that it wasn't just about the talent out there, right? it was about the people. what about the players stood out to you from a personal perspective? >> yeah, the group of them, you can call them competitive valkyries, right? like in each of the ways that they play, regardless of their position, they want to win. and that is the foundation of what coach natalie has talked about at nauseam. she wants people who are first and foremost selfless. she wants them to be competitive, and she also wants them to not be afraid of this moment and this on this historic journey that we're about to embark on. >> draymond green returned from injury but didn't start for the warriors last night. jonathan kuminga got his second straight start and that apparently will continue. the warriors indicating that now is kuminga's time. and as they search for answers with the offense struggling so green will not

start. and he's okay with that because he too wants to see what kuminga can be if he's next at some point we got to see it and for him to do that, he needs the opportunity. >> and like i said, if the opportunity falls me, then that's what it is and you got to figure it out. >> cal football team, including quarterback fernando mendoza with the ax as the bears hosted stanford in the very first acc game for both men's hoops teams, stanford up early in the first half and roland big block by the card sharing is caring and maxime reno brings it down with two hands. cal wasn't going anywhere though. andre stojakovic trying to keep his team in it, drives the lane for the bucket. he finished with 25, but card never trailed in this one. reno's 20 point game made sure of it. stanford wins 8981. santa and a couple of delinquent reindeer in florida to watch the sharks take on the panthers just

20s into the game. the sharks can't clear the puck, and matthew kachuk bats it out of the air. panthers up one, nothing in a hurry. and second period kachuk hits the puck up and it rolls down. goalie mackenzie blackwood back and in. oh no. his second of the game. sharks lose three one. this abc seven sports report sponsored by river rock casino. karina. >> sarah. thank you. beacon. dave. deacon dave is representing the bay area on a national level with his dazzling holiday house in the east bay. he won abc's great christmas light fight. abc seven got a tour of his massive display outside and inside of his home that includes his 44 specifically decorated christmas trees. he started the massive christmas display at his livermore home more than 40 years ago. today, there are 902,120 lights strung all over the place, a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts
