know what? i'm going to change that graphic because that's the graphic i had up there earlier. so just bear with me. that was the graphic i was using to show what's happening overnight. but actually i want to show you this satellite radar composite image. high pressure is the controlling factor in our weather right now, bringing us this string of sunny, dry days and it's going to its circulation is going to bring us an offshore flow in a couple of days. that's going to be quite brisk and it's going to warm us up. right now we're looking at relatively calm wind speeds, although it's brisk in san francisco, where we have 15 mile per hour wind speeds and it's a little bit milder in most locations right now than 24 hours ago, 2 or 3 degrees warmer. but all locations are going to be cool as we get into the evening hours. 50 degrees in san francisco right now, 53 at oakland, hayward and redwood city, san jose at 55 degrees and 45 at half moon bay. beautiful clear view from emeryville. looking along the bay bridge is 52 degrees up north at santa rosa, 51 apiece at concord and livermore. but temperatures have dropped into the 40s already at petaluma, napa and fairfield. let's check out our forecast headlines

for the next few days. we can expect more mornings that bring us a little bit of fog or cloud cover, giving way to cooler afternoons under sunny skies, then windy early next week, although it will be warming up a bit, isolated gusts may reach 30 to 40mph on monday and tuesday. generally, though, in the hills of the north bay, and our next chance of rain appears to be around the end of the month. if even then, because the dry weather we're in right now will continue for a while now. wave heights are elevated, so we have a beach hazards statement in effect from 7:00 tonight to 7:00 monday evening. dangerous swimming and surfing conditions. increased risk of dangerous rip currents and sneaker waves. so bear that in mind if you're going to be down along the coastline. here's our forecast animation taking us into the overnight hours as we'll see some increasing clouds that will linger through the early morning hours, but will burn back and give us mainly sunny skies by midday tomorrow, much like what we had today. overnight, low temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 30s in many of our inland communities. that will be the chilliest weather around the bay area.

even some locations near the bay, like san mateo and fremont will see lows dropping into the upper 30s, but most other spots near the bay and the coast will have lows in the low 40s. highs tomorrow under mainly sunny afternoon skies. 55 at half moon bay 57, san francisco only upper 50s around the bay shoreline and mainly mid to upper 50s inland. so it's going to be a chilly day tomorrow. but if you look at the accuweather seven day forecast, you see it starts to warm up on monday mlk day, further warming by midweek with temperatures climbing into the mid or mid to upper 60s by thursday and friday. >> the warriors are finally back at the chase center and they could use some home cog right about now. it's a tight race in the west and with the win over the wizards tonight, the dubs can jump above 500 on paper. golden state should be able to get it done. washington is one of the worst teams in the league at guarding the perimeter, and have won just six games on the year. steph curry has nailed six plus triples in three of his last five starts. the dubs aren't exactly where they want to be this season, but

say there's no need to hit the panic button quite yet. >> this team is in a good spot, you know? and you know, we had some ups and downs, but i think that we're going to be able to turn the corner. you know, we i know we all preach that we because we all believe that we're going to turn the corner and uh- take one game or one at a time and keep moving forward. >> we have to keep reminding ourselves that it is a marathon and not a sprint. and so we got to stay with it, and there's no reason why we can't get on another hot streak. like we started the season with and make some hay on the playoff race. >> stanford at north carolina tar heels football head coach bill belichick at the game. the cardinals cardinal had never beaten north carolina entering today. first half off the turnover maxime renault with the hammer and mean mug stanford down one at the break. early second half renault again with the slam. he had 24 points and 13 boards but cardinals down one with seven seconds to go. jaylen blakes goes the length of the

floor. pulls up, hits the game winner with a second to go. blakes is a transfer from duke so you know he loves beating the tar heels. 7271 stanford their first ever win over carolina. cal at nc state. jump rope and dogs stealing the show at halftime. bears lead by as many as six. andre stojakovic to the hoop at the five minute mark, but then cal didn't make a bucket for four minutes in nc state. they claw their way back. jaden taylor with the steal races to the bucket. yup. and one. nc state takes their first lead since the first half. the bears respond though. jovan blacksher with the minute to play in the first made basket in four minutes. right there to retake the lead. cal up three in the final seconds. nc state gets a good look for the tie, but off the mark. bears win 6562, their first road win ever in the acc and their ft win outside california this

season. taylor swift and caitlin clark watching the chiefs and texans play in this playoff game. you saw it right here on abc seven texans down ten at the break. third quarter joe mixon high steps his way in from 13 yards out. so they're an extra point away from tying it up. but ka'imi fairbairn pushes it right. texans still down one. former niners defensive coordinator demeco ryans not pleased the chiefs take control from there. patrick mahomes getting tackled but zips it to travis kelce as he's falling 20 to 12. chiefs celebration in the booth as the chiefs win 2314 and will host the afc championship game next week against the bills or the ravens. that game is tomorrow. george kittle with the hockey assist. during thursday night's nashville predators game, the 40 niners tight end was shown on the jumbotron, chugging a beer as the game was going on and the predators they scored as he finished the drink, naturally. nashville beat the blackhawks 3 to 2. the predators

called it the assist of the century. and today in napa, during the giants fan fest, third baseman matt chapman was challenged to a beer chug contest by some fans. and as you can see, this was no contest. he did that in 10s. these last two stories are not helping my drink. dry january resolution. i'm just like, can somebody get me a brewski? as soon as we're off the air tonight? that's going to do it for sports. we'll i mean, i know how the fire affected me,

and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]
