this very analysis from the air resources board found the proposed new policy could increase gas prices by $0.47 per gallon in 2025. and potentially even more in future years. another analysis found increases could jump as high as $0.65 per gallon. the analysys came to that conclusion noting the new policy could lead to higher costs for refineries cost that then could be passed down to consumers. >>while air resources board staff members say their report was never intended to be an end. all be all prediction of gas prices and of since walked back there. $0.47 analysis. jones says he does not buy it. he's concerned gas prices will go up. it's the everyday california. >>he's trying to make it here and stay here in california. it's going to feel and he's not the only lawmaker expressing concerns last month. all republicans in the state senate and assembly wrote this letter to resources board urging its members to hold off on the policy until more information could be released about impact on gas prices around the same time,

golden state warriors back in nba cup action tonight on the road against the new orleans pelicans with a chance to clinch group c. >>and advance to the knockout round. also a chance to improve to 12 3 on the season

overall for kerr and company why are we showing you andrew wiggins? race going to be that he had a big night for a half percent little foreshadowing their game 1st quarter. let's pick up the action with the warriors down to steph curry. some nifty moves finds wiggins, step open for 3 and he knocks it down. lead all scorers with 30 points. did wiggins in just 28 minutes. of course, steph has been known to knock down a 3 from time to time. he finished 19 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. >>warriors led by 3 after 3 play. but trey murphy couldn't miss a shot to the pelicans warriors up 5 late. now they're up to or forgets the hometown row. warriors just need to get the ball inbounded but they turn it over and over here we go. a chance for the pelicans to take the lead mercury. another 3, i guess he didn't miss a shot that we had. 24 points tonight needed 27 warriors. get the rebound and hang on for a one. 12, 108 win. they're the first team to clinch a spot in the nba quarter. final point.

>>all right. now to football and some bad news for the forty-niners starting quarterback brock purdy officially ruled out for sunday's game against the packers. he's been dealing with a sore shoulder since sunday's loss to the seahawks and was a limited participant in practice this week, although he left yesterday's practice early and miss practice today entirely pretty well. he hasn't put up the mvp type numbers umass last year. he's still been very good. most of the season throwing for 13 touchdowns and rushing for 4 more. it will certainly be a big loss. it also means brandon allen will get the chance to step into the starting role on sunday. the forty-niners backup hasn't thrown a regular season pass since 2022 when he was with the cincinnati bengals. but he did play in all 3 preseason games this year for his career. allen thrown 10 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 16 games. >>a 32 year-old has a career passer rating of 78 of the 49. a coaching staff has a lot of faith in allen to manage the

offense and allen says he believes he's ready to rise to the occasion against the packers. its an opportunity, you know, and >>know the circumstances are what they are. but, you know, i think our our team all year long, we've been kind of dealing with injuries here and there and and it's been a big next man up mentality. so definitely an opportunity for me to to go out and play well on that. our guys in good position to win the game. obviously brought back and healthy and all that. but now for the time being, it is an opportunity for me. >>the forty-niners are going to be short-handed on defense as well. star pass rusher. nick bosa going to sunday's game with hip and oblique injuries. but you, sir, for sunday against the seahawks, he recorded one and a half sacks and 4 tackles in that game before leaving bosa with 7 sacks on the season. so once again, the niners missing key pieces on both sides of the ball due to injuries. finally tonight, let's get to some college football little friday

night lights in the rain. san jose state hosting number. 24 unlv, not quite as much fun as a snow game but it's a going makes for good visuals. i guess not fun to play and probably just 3 spartans down 3, nothing with the defense gives them the lead. hodgman leak. williams picked a or remiss reservations for 6.40, yards to the house. >>7, 3 spartans unlv went back up. but walker he finds national coleman down the middle. that's a 33 yard. touchdown. spartans up 14 to 10 on this as a but unlv has the answer. jayden thomas shed gap on the right side rumbles. 25 yards for the score. rebels up 20 to 16 island. james turned off he gets unlv 65 times tonight for 207 yards. get feeling or unlv it. 27 to 16. >>things are going to be changed or if you're headed in the high country, they are chaining up 80 50 tonight. both ways. so be prepared as we head throughout the weekend. we're going to see

storms roll through as they come through. they're coming through some different air masses. they may be a little bit warmer a little bit colder. and that's going to change over time. heavy snow expected throughout the weekend. gusty winds from time to time on and off snow level about 5500 feet. as we look toward tomorrow, expecting maybe as much as 2, maybe 4 feet of snow across a pace, places above about 7,000 feet. but it is going to tough traveling up in the high country. there's no getting around trying to time out the storms. here we go. we've got winter storm warnings in effect not only through the weekend, but all the way until tuesday. up next week as we're going to see a series of storms still can affect a bay area. know they're not going to be these big atmospheric river events, but they're going to definitely impact the sierra nevada snow falling around the lake. kind of a neat look, you can see that ring of blue and white around the lake right now and right at the lake level is temperatures fairly mild out there compared to the rest of the area. so you're seeing rain down lake level. you get over top of the summit and you're seeing some snow. so a lot of 30's around lake right now as we head throughout the

weekend. we've got plenty more on the way as the storm just kind of lineup. this have a lot more. some tropical moisture to the one behind going to be a little bit cooler as they move on through. so rain falling here in the bay area to continuing outside. it has been a heavy soaker across much of the south bay today. we're get more on the way to. here's a look at the long-range forecast model. this one atmospheric river event continues to move on by then behind that tomorrow, just scattered showers here in the bay area. not just steady rain behind that, though another storm comes on shore. that's going to be more of a regular storm, not an atmospheric river event, but enough to bring another soaking on sunday. more showers expected on monday. another round possibly into tuesday. then it looks like we're finally going to catch a break. it looks like high pressure going to try to build a wednesday and thursday. a lot of folks going to be traveling for the holiday and it looks like we should begin to dry things out right about them. as far as rainfall totals. yeah, we've had a ton already. so but doesn't look as impressive, right? this is through sunday now. so a change in the

pattern. now you're knocking those really rich, some tropical moisture that's moving on through. you're getting more standard moisture. but still we're talking about adding another inch, maybe a couple inches to some of the totals around the bay area that some places been record-breaking as well. all right. temperatures tomorrow going to be in the 50's and the 60's next few days. but we're going to keep things unsettled, possibly wet from time to time. chance of an isolated thunderstorm to i think by about wednesday of next week. and that does it for us here on kron. 4 news will be back with the morning news at 7 o'clock. i'm dan thorn. >>have a great weekend.
