11:22 pm
thursday and friday, sunny skies warming up to mid to upper 60s in our inland areas and near the bay. and even as we go into next weekend and the clouds increase, it'll still be relatively mild. we're not looking at another major rainfall event for a while. yeah, and you add that wind in and that wind really added to how bad it was. it was whiteout conditions because the winds were gusting at well in some locations over 100 miles an hour up in the sierra. so you just couldn't see where you were going. and of course, the snow is piling up and the roads are impassable. it's just a dangerous situation. certainly is. >> but i like the second half of that week. oh yeah. >> okay. >> looking good here. thank you so much spencer. still ahead on abc seven news at 11. the count down to the oscars. we're now exactly a week away from knowing the winners, but it's never too early to predict who might be victorious on hollywood's biggest night

11:47 pm
delayed a day due to extreme weather conditions along the flight path. this is nasa's second launch of the year. well, this blizzard in lake tahoe is quite a hassle for some, but for a couple of locals, it's perfect weather. these are ideal play date conditions for echo and yuba. the siberian huskies were loving the thick snow in south lake yesterday. the owner says echo, the black and white husky will power through any amount of snow, while yuba, who's an older dog, usually likes to lay back and let her partner carve a path so she can just cruise right through there. >> great to have someone else carve a path for you, right? it certainly is. >> i kept having the idea of going up there and doing something like that just getting in that snow. but to get back is a bit of an issue. >> that's the problem. yes that's the problem many people are facing right now here in the bay area, though, our our weather is calming down now, despite what you see on live doppler seven, developing cells offshore, these are some steady, heavy downpours, but they're widely scattered and they've been weakening as they move
11:48 pm
onshore. and here's the forecast animation taking us into the overnight hours. when the commute begins tomorrow morning, there may be a few light scattered isolated showers, but we don't expect widespread slick roads on the highways. so here's a look at our frost advisory, which will be in effect for 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. for the north bay counties of marin, napa, and sonoma. temperatures dropping down to about 35 degrees overnight. as you can see, that will be the coldest region of the north bay of the bay area overnight. other locations will mainly have lows in the low 40s. highs tomorrow under cloudy skies with a few sprinkles, mainly mid to upper 50s. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. uh- showers get a little bit steadier on tuesday and wednesday. level one storms, but then on thursday and friday we expect sunnier, drier, milder conditions. so it's going to be a pleasant end to the week. >> great news. i mean, it's certainly concerning though if you're going there or coming back, because even when those roads open, it's still, you know, it's still going to be dodgy. >> yeah, very, very challenging. so if you are there now just
11:49 pm

today's cancer research is tomorrow's victory. a victory that is there for the taking. grab it. now that was a great halftime speech. let's go win. [jim valvano] don't give up. don't ever give up® month, the warriors have played their best basketball of the season, but after today's blowout loss in boston, the upcoming two days off, well, those are much needed. the celtics showing why they have the best record in all the nba. the c's dynamic duo of former cal star jaylen brown and jayson tatum combined for 56 points. the warriors lost 140 to 88. the third largest margin of defeat in franchise history. here's more from our after the game crew of larry carey, anna o'donnell.
11:53 pm
>> well, when you lose by 52, it's hard to find a ton of positives, but the warriors did finish this road trip three and one and now they're coming back home to face the bucks on wednesday. >> and that's a significant thing larry, when you're thinking about basketball you have to think about the arc of the season. and for me, one of the things that was important is that they start winning the games they're supposed to win. obviously this is a setback and one they would like to forget, and that's okay. and a road trip where you come back losing one game, you know you take those those odds. >> so coach i'm looking at the numbers here. uh 82 points. most scored in any half against the warriors this season. and 44 points was the halftime lead. that's the largest halftime lead in celtics history, which does go back a couple of years. you just flush it. >> yeah we're not talking about the pelicans or the hornets here. that's a long storied history that the celtics have. so for us to have this type of historic output or lack of output against the celtics is pretty telling. best part about the game is that it's over and
11:54 pm
as you both said, the totality of it is good. an eight game winning streak in the on the road in the nba is nothing to sneeze about. three out of four on the road. yes, you're great to go home with that. you just want to flush this one out as quickly as you can to get ready for milwaukee on wednesday. >> any concerns about steph curry? he was questionable coming in with bursitis in his right knee. zero for nine in this game from three. doesn't appear to be seriously injured, but he clearly could use some rest. >> obviously you take a look in terms of like seeing how the swelling either goes up or go down and the plane ride back. you give him a few days off and then you reassess again. first thing wednesday morning, coach, uh, give us a positive spin forward. >> if you're steve kerr on the plane going back from boston to the bay area, well, we can't lose twice. >> so you only lose once. and let's not let's let's make sure we don't lose twice and get ourselves healthy and ready to play against milwaukee. uh, not too many positives out of this. and, you know, we can try and dig all we possibly can. but the best part about it, as we said that it's over. let's get back
11:55 pm
safe and sound and healthy and get ourselves ready for milwaukee on wednesday and hope for a better result. i like it, we can only lose once. >> truly, in aspirational stuff. >> coach keating all right, thanks guys. let's go back to chris. >> that's good stuff guys. college basketball history in iowa today. hawkeyes star caitlin clark past lsu and basketball hall of famer pete maravich for the most points scored in d1 history. that's men's or women's as she entered today's game against number two ohio state, earning 18 points for the record. she got 35 as the sixth ranked hawkeyes win, 9380. the year 83. excuse me, here's caitlin after the game. >> i think i'm just trying to soak in the moment. um, a record is a record. i don't want that to be the reason people remember me. i hope people remember me for the way i played with a smile on my face, my competitive fire. um, sure, they can remember the wins, but also just like the fun me and my teammates had together, nfl network reports that the 49 ers and wide receiver brandon aiyuk are working on a contract extension ba going into the final year of his rookie deal.
11:56 pm
>> a hefty raise is expected. he's coming off back to back 1000 yard seasons. gm john lynch with a positive outlook on their rising star. we have some challenges. >> we have a lot of good players , a lot of good players who we've rewarded. brandon's one that we think incredibly highly of, uh, one of my favorite, uh, just guys around our building, the way he approaches the game, he's a competitor. and then he's got a flair for making plays when it matter most. and he served us very well as a as a franchise. and you know, i think we've got a nice track record of extending the players that are important to us. and brandon is a guy we want to keep around. uh, for a long time. >> it was a dance party in saint paul. sharks and the wild early third period tied at two. this kind of looks like a basketball breakaway. anthony duclair with how about this the steal and slam goal. sharks up three two his 14th of the year. but minnesota's kirill kaprizov had a hat trick scoring the final two goals in this game. sharks fall four three. they've lost
