francisco from central tower. 45 in the city. low 40's in palo alto, san jose, and santa clara. 39 at half moon bay. the view at emeryville looking westward, almost all in the 30's. 42 at what a beautiful sky over the bay looking from our exploratorium camera toward the bay bridge. a little bit of clearing and a little bit of clouds, and just a nice balance of texture in the picture. wintry mix of precipitation with us tonight, though not very widespread and into tomorrow, this unsettled pattern continues into midweek. below average temperatures will be with us much of the week. this storm, such as it i as a level 1. we expect periods of rain, some may be brief downpours, breezy. a slight chance of thunder. forecast animation starting at midnight shows that by about

3:00 a.m. or so, we will see the next wave of widespread and steadier rain beginning to push on shore and maybe some brief downpours higher elevations. that will sweep through during the morning commute, so it will be a wet morning for many out on the roadways, but that will be out of here by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, giving us a few hours of quiet weather before mid when a few more widely scattered pockets of rain spread to the area. that will continue through early tuesday morning. generally under .2 of an inch for most areas. we are talking mid-30's in most of the inland areas, upper 30's to around 40 on the bay and coastline. highs tomorrow not very high at all. mainly 51 to 54 degrees for most of the bay area, and we still have a storm warning in effect for the sierra. 4:00 a.m. tomorrow. the snow will be heavy, but the additional accumulation will not be very high.

up to a foot at 2000 f up to 18 inches at the 6000 foot level. the unsettled weather with showers will continue into tuesday. wednesday, we get partial clearing. thursday looks like up to be a dry day, but it will also be the coldest morning of the week as cold air continues to push through the bay area. friday, it warms up a little bit. more rain comes in. it is even more warm next weekend and starts to feel more like spring, but it will be a shower he -- showery we spring forward to daylight savings. dion: i cannot believe it is already -- already here. this forecast may not be so award-winning, but you always are. spencer: thank you. dion: any time. spencer: i'll except on my on behalf. dion: road wet -- robots but make it fashion.

dion: those are back, but this time, they are making it fashion. the predator-looking robot dogs were strutting around on the runway for paris fashion week on friday. the show was modeled to be a play on the french poem titled "the wolf and the lamb." the party said the show aimed to show that there is neither a dominant nor dominated but that mankind and machine live in harmony. hmm. don't know what to think about that. i know what to think about sports, though. steph curry made a comeback for the warriors today as they tried to continue their winning streak in l.a. we have larry beil with a preview for sports now. larry: after being out for a month, steph curry returned for the warriors this afternoon. could the return of number 30

larry: good evening. steph curry returned after being out for a month with a leg injury, but the warriors' old

habits die hard, as in fallback early but roar back late. steph curry in his first came back since february 4, took a while to get back into the flow. helped lakers build a 20-point lead in the first quarter. misses first three shots, then connects off the lead from undergo dollar. andre seized the floor so well, feeding curry for the lay-up as the warriors claw their way back. dubs it only 18 of 51 deep. they know what's going in, they are raising their hands up. warriors down one at the half. fast-forward, fourth quarter, 19 points in the period, finishes with any seven in 32 minutes, and we have a one-point game down the stretch, but the lakers pull away again. anthony davis inside. lakers back up by eight. warriors need another comeback. dante give vincenzo to carry for three. the vincenzo will pass out the layup. warriors

out, about: 45 ago -- a book 45 -- a buck 45 ago, but too much anthony davis. >> the warriors' slow start continuing here on the road. they drove by 20 points in the first quarter to the lakers. stephen curry's return was a spark. he scored a team-high 27. it was not enough in an eight-point lost in l.a. >> it felt great. i miss it a lot. as the game gets deeper into you try to meet that intensity and that energy and that level mentally and physically. it felt great to get going back in there. >> the gravity, and j confidence he gave the team being back in there. i thought he missed a couple of shots that he will make pretty soon. just really getting back in that flow and rhythm.

>> as the seasonoingis v.el >> is not just about me coming back. it is not just about what andre can bring. it is trying to lift everybody up together because we need everybody to win. this is a tough night on that front, but we got to stay optimistic about where we are headed. >> the dubs record jumps to 7-24 on the road. two more on the road before they head home. it will be at okc and memphis. next saturday is at chase center against milwaukee. larry: thank you, chris. abc 7 sports we will go one-on-one with dante give vincenzo later in the hour. dion: that will be fun. so much so -- so much snow shutting down freeways and paralyzing small mountain towns. the danger tonight. thus, another train derailment

dion: once again, taking a look at the live doppler 7 where you can see, yes, there is green on the radar indicating precipitation. that forecast still very unsettled for the week ahead. we have spencer christian standing by with your final forecast coming up in a little bit. our storm certainly walloped tahoe, and these cameras to show us why. interstate 80 was closed this morning and chains are required on highway 50. there's also possible danger from backcountry avalanches at all elevations. suzanne phan has a look at the impact of all that snow. >> this stuff is light and dry. this isn't, like, heavy snow pack. suzanne: kevin cooper has plenty of snow to be thankful for. >> i live in the snow capital of the united states right now.

suzanne: all the fresh snow he is seeing is great for the sierra, the ski resorts, and the snowpack, but there's also a lot of danger in the mountains right now. >> right now with that light and dry and the wind we are experiencing, the avalanche danger is upwards of high to extreme. suzanne: at heavenly mountain resorts, cruise have been working on avalanche control. part of highway 50 has been closed off and on because of that. >> i was at the top of the mountain this morning and it was just a white out. suzanne: as caltrans works to clear the roads. >> we are out there clearing snow as quickly as possible, but it has building up. suzanne: ski resorts also have their hands full dealing with that fresh powder. >> we are at 40 feet for the season and there's more in the forecast. suzanne: except records to be broken in the next couple of days. >> we had a big winter i 2016-2017, but i think we will

surpass that. we could be reaching record snowpack by the end of the week. >> this has been one of the most consistent and best snowpacks we have seen in at least 30 years. suzanne: experts say don't rush to resorts until things clear out. >> we've got plenty of snow. we are going to extend the season. don't worry. dion: now to the new developments in ohio and the cleanup of yet another norfolk southern train derailment. yesterday's incident in the town of springfield was not carrying hazardous materials, but it only inflamed skepticism after the recent disastrous toxic derailment. mona kosar abdi explains us the norfolk southern ceo will testify before congress this week. mona: dashcam video shows the moment a norfolk southern train derailed. >> i looked up and there was all kinds of debris and metal shooting out from under the train cars. mona: norfolk southern saying 28

of the 212 cars derailed, including 4 empty tankers with residual amounts of diesel exhaust fluid and common industrial products. >> once we got cruise in there, we noticed there were no hazards leaking, no spillage. mona: ohio's epa director looking to reassure residents in the area. >> there was no release of any chemical or hazardous material to the soil, air, or water. we were, of course, tracking that closely. mona: there were no reported injuries, and the cause is under investigation. this is the third derailment in ohio so far this year. >> this train is over 200 cars, which is 50 more than the east palestine train, so the railroad has a lot of questions to answer, and they really have not done it for a while yet. mona: that derailment in east palestine causing a massive toxic spill. new studies indicate elevated levels of acrylate, which can cause skin, respiratory, and

mucous membrane irritation. most common symptoms people are reporting are headaches followed by anxiety, coughing, fatigue, and skin irritation. >> our data and epa data shows there's need for further follow-up to show that concentrations of various pollutions are going down to a level where they would be not potentially harmful to people's health. mona: norfolk southern saying this today -- >> safety is our number one priority. as i stated earlier, our mainline derailments are on the decline. dion: ogre driving goal here at abc 7 is to help build a better bay area, and one of the biggest existing issues is the city of san francisco's drug crisis. more than a dozen local leaders are in new york city to see the city's first ever safe drug consumption site. san francisco is hoping to open three by the end of the year,

but there are legal hurdles. tara campbell has the story now. tara: there are three -- there are two safe consumption sites in new york city. one of them is right here behind me. both are operated by a nonprofit called on point. >> we are putting in an oral hour nasal airway, make sure the oxygen we are pumping in gets to the right place. >> the pace is fast and the purpose is clear -- save lives and connect drug users to services they need from treatment to medical care, shower, and laundry. on point is operating the first sanctioned safe consumption sites in the u.s. one location in harlem and the other in washington heights. and more than a dozen of san francisco's local leaders are taking note, from city supervisors to the san francisco fire department, public health, and nonprofits hoping to cooperate on safe consumption sites in san francisco.

>> i think the biggest take away is how intentionally everything is done, right? this is not a fly-by-night operation. this operation is very intentional. it is very skilled, and the people here really know what they are doing. tara: sam rivero is executive director of on point and says properly trained staff is key. >> we are not there just letting it happen. we are really tough on how we operate these services. >> four milligram naloxone spray. i'm sure you are all aware of this life-saving drug. tara: since opening nearly a year and a half ago, staff has overseen more than 55,000 drug injections or inhalations and reversed more than 700 overdoses. it has also connected more than 2200 people to treatment. >> we know that an opioid

tara: and overdose prevention specialist. >> 80% of the overdoses, all we have to do is put on an oxygen mask connected to an oxygen tank. start rub, -- sternum rub a big breath, that's all we have to do. >> i prepared already in the needle. tara: sam says he feels safer using his drugs under supervision. >> it is cocaine with heroin mixed. >> you are going to inject >> yes, inject it here. there's no other better place than here. >> how often do you come to the center? >> every day. >> where would you go otherwise? >> basically in the bathroom by myself. tara: another point of interest

f the safe consumption sites. how is it impacting the local neighborhoods? they will be getting a look at that as well. >> what's going on inside is really important, and i think is saving lives, but that's not going to work if it is creating ms outside. tara: supervisor matt dorsey noticing clean streets and very little open air drug use. >> one thing that really through here is this organization running the overdose prevention centers in new york is absolutely committed to being a good neighbor and a good partner with the new york city police department. >> it i you look around here, you see drugs everywhere. there would be needles everywhere. tara: fred is battling addiction and depression and says he does access the safe consumption sites and that they have also changed the streets. anything.an go tohe par

it was not safe. people were dying. you would pretty much walk over a body here. tara: and since the safe consumption sites? >> it has changed a whole lot. tara: safe consumption sites are illegal under federal law, but the new york model could provide a path forward. these sites are funded by private donations, not public dollars, making the city in theory less liable. how do you and do you think this will move the ball forward in bringing sites to san francisco? >> i do. we now have a group of advocates from san francisco who have seen these centers in real life and have proof that they not only save lives but improve neighborhood conditions. dion: tara travel to north america's first ever safe injection site in vancouver, canada, to see how it works. you can watch "injecting hope"

civil rights marchers as they attempted to cross the edmund pettus bridge. today, president biden said voting rights are still being threatened. >> the right to vote, to have your vote counted, is the threshold of democracy and liberty. with it, anything is possible. without it, without that right, nothing is possible. this fundamental right remains under assault. conservative supreme court has gutted the voting rights act over the years. dion: the president urged congress to pass the john lewis voting rights act and the freedom to vote act. both measures are currently stalled in congress. all right, one last check of the weather now. this strange pattern does not seem to be letting up. spencer: very, very strange. very unseasonal, we say. fortunately, right now, we don't have much in the way of reciprocation. we have the color of bit. we have patchy areas of light

rain. the storm still ranks level one on the storm impact scale. through tomorrow, we will have more periods of mainly light rain, maybe an occasional brief downpour. breezy. snow levels way down to under 2000 feet. the next wave of rain will sweep in during the overnight hours and continue during the morning commute, so it will probably be a wet morning commute in many locations. more smaller waves of rain coming in the afternoon tomorrow and that pattern continues into late tomorrow night and early tuesday. on we go to overnight conditions, low temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 30's inland, upper 30's around the bay shoreline, and it will get colder as we head toward the middle of the week. we will dry out a little bit wednesday and thursday, but thursday shaping up to be the coldest morning of the week and we may have some record low temperatures developing. then rain and milder weather will arrive next weekend. dion: cold but at least drive. will take the trade-off. thanks. once again to larry beil and a

but you guys are playing better of late. what are the positives you will take away from this game? >> in the second half, try to get that flow with stefan out there and andre coming back, this meant a lot of time with a have not been out on the court. we just got to figure it out, and i think we responded well, like we have been doing. i think the biggest thing for us is, you know, coming out stronger. chris: can you describe what that is like, to have staff -- steph missing for about a month? do can you describe how hard it is for you guys? >> he makes it easy. he's so unselfish, and he wants other guys to be aggressive, and he knows when to take over. i think he did it in the fourth quarter. he started picking us back up. we don't have to stress about shots. he's so selfless it allows us to just play our game. chris: did you see that in his

being there and doing that for so many years, i think this is a good start. larry: coach, how long before steve kerr can get his rotation set? steph curry is back. andre is back. at some point, andrew wiggins and gary payton ii. >> he clearly have to figure out how to win on the road. you have to do that on the playoffs no matter what position you are in. if there's any comfort when you are feeling down, steph can overcome that for you, but going on the road is going to make it uncomfortable. got to figure out the rotation set. chris: if you games on this stretch, suddenly you could find yourself gang up at the plate in the western conference you could find yourself going up at the play in the western conference standards. >> if we are being honest, the

defense the warriors have been playing is not nearly the defense we know they comply. what are looking for is bringing up that intensity to playoff level. chris: what's the remedy? >> score more points. that's how the game works. but defense travels, it alw has, no matter the sport. when you want to get on the road, you have to hit some stops and lock in. if you are steve kerr, you have one choice like a favorite son. it says a lot considering how good steph curry is on offense, but i think dream on on the defensive end is more important than steph curry is on offense. larry: that's a good question. score more points than the other team. he's not the best analyst in the business. still undefeated on the abc 7 coaching staff. thank you. worry us in okc on tuesday.
