picture outside, it a beautiful one. emeryville camera, live look, showing good visibility. in the distance you can see sutro tower blinking. the fog has yet to come back at this hour. we'll switch it to the rooftop camera here along the embarcadero. you can see the flag waiving atop pier 15 now. not as vigorously as it was earlier today. in fact, the winds have backed off in a lot of spots. we're less than 20 miles an hour across the region. today we had winds gusting over 50 miles per hour in our hills. right now 18 current gust in oakland. 15 in san francisco. 17 in fairfield. right now san jose coming in with pretty light wind of 8 miles per hour. but it's all about that wind direction once again, that on-shore flow, winds coming off the cool ocean water that continue to drag in that cooler air across the region. so, we're down to about 54 in oakland, 57 right now in san jose. 60, though, in santa rosa. 56 that current number in antioch. here's the set up. live doppler 7, why we are windy

and cool. you can see there are showers to our east associated with an area of low pressure. for us what this system does, it drags in cooler air from the north and that is going to sit there the next couple of days. keeping us below average for this time of year. combine that with an area of high pressure sitting off our coast line. in our atmosphere winds always travel from high to low pressure. so those winds will continue to funnel cooler air off the ocean water and that's going to be the set-up tomorrow afternoon as well. here's the call overnight tonight, we'll see cloud cover fill right back in in a lot of spots. mid 40s to mid 50s your overnight temperatures with a chance of a little bit of coastal drizzle developing. so, future weather will go hour by hour for you tomorrow morning, 7:00 in the morning, the southern half of the viewing area really dealing with a lot of low cloud cover, some coastal fog. we may actually get some clearer breaks for sunnier skies first thing in the north bay, but it will do that traditional retreat back to the coast line. by mid-morning we see a lot of spots dealing with some sunnier

skies. so, good news there and that will be the theme throughout the afternoon as well. the coast socked in with cloud cover but away from the coast we have brighter skies. so highs monday it's windy along the coast. below average temperatures this time of year. 61 in san francisco. about 67 in fremont. 66 in oakland. about 76 the high in santa rosa. and breezy and 75 the high in antioch. so the accuweather seven-day forecast put it together the next seven days, still breezy on your monday. we dip below average again tuesday into wednesday, but by thursday we'll lose the wind, we'll lose the marine layer and it will be a warmer finish to the upcoming week. >> announcer: now sports from abc7 news. >> once again, stephen curry proved he knows best. he never gets too low, he never gets too high. questions were raised about what was wrong with his shot following the first two games.

western conference finals. tonight in game three, curry answered. absolutely nothing. mr. curry's shot is just fine, thank you very much. he did struggle in the first half, but by the third quarter that was his time. first play out of the break look at that, gets the hoop and the foul. james harden, he's a little bit lazy tonight. andre iguodala gets the pick. he misses on the other end, but curry is right there with a put back. mike de anthony. another rockets turnover. they had 19 of them. this is the warriors at their bst. curry up the court to play. to k.d. from the corner, four three. that was a 21-point lead at that point. durant had 25 on the night. curry's turn. leads harden for the layup. and then durant not handing it over for the easy three. and then a little razzle dazzle, he crosses up harden, hits him pthree, just beautiful.set back steph 7 for 7 in the third quarter. finishes with a game high 35.
