looks like tomorrow we'll get more of the same. more of the same. just a little bit cooler because we have some of those coastal clouds moving in. >> here's a live doppler seven look. and right now it is quiet out there. but clouds will increase spread in from the coast and into the bay. temperatures will be dropping into the mid 40s for many parts of the north bay, and upper 40s for right around the bay area. also tomorrow's temperatures. what you'll notice is that at the beaches it will be in the low 60s around the bay. we'll see mid and upper 60s and inland areas, though with plenty of sunshine, will still be hitting the low 70s, even some mid 70s out there. so it's looking pretty dry almost all week long. and then notice friday our chance of rain pops up. some of our forecast models show rain on friday. some of us show us dry through friday and then wet saturday and sunday. but at this point this rain is looking light, so not too much to worry about. so overall, a great day for saint patrick's day. just a little bit more fog and cooler

conditions. slightly cooler. we're only talking a degree or two. cooler temperatures rebound monday before the start of spring on tuesday and looks good for the oakland marathon. >> so yeah. oh yeah, that too tomorrow as well. all right. thanks, francis. and now let's chat with larry with a preview of sports larry karina. >> with only 16 games left in the regular season, the warriors need every single win they can get. steph curry's return certainly helped a lot tonight

then we are looking for you. we are the peace corps. with volunteers in more than 60 countries. living together. working together. transforming lives. together. join us. 36 years old on thursday, didn't quite match his age tonight in l.a, but pretty close. he had 31 and the return of draymond green very big as well for golden state warriors, lakers battling for playoff position in the west. and with anthony davis out with an eye injury that he suffered in the first quarter of the warriors taking advantage, going to the basket like a

freeway to the hoop. no shot blocker in the lane. up, up and away. draymond green back after missing one game with a back injury, 13 assists lobbing and lobbing and lobbing and lobbing over the lakers defense. jonathan kuminga with 23 points and andrew wiggins had 16. the warriors hold on for a 128, 121 win, edging up into ninth place in the west. >> you guys have been through the war so many times, but to have guys like kuminga pods come along, what's impressed you about how these guys have played in those moments? >> man, they just continue to rise to the occasion. you know, we started off the year and you're trying to you know, you're trying to pull them along. now there are some games where they're pulling us along and that's what you want to see from your young guys. you want to see those them taking the necessary steps for them to become stars in this league themselves. and those guys are doing that. >> yeah, they've been great. you know jc continues to get better, you know trace, you know he's just gives us a completely different look with, with the lob threat, with the shot blocking and bp has had a great

year. you know, he just came into this league prepared and ready. so it's fun to watch them play and fun to watch our our older guys continue to play at a high level too. >> well another steph versus lebron matchup. and the warriors come away with a victory. steph after missing three games with the ankle injury, looked pretty good with a 31 points. >> larry i loved steph patient tonight and how he approached the game really allows klay to assert himself and then really took his time to walk himself into the game. i think a lot of players out there, you can learn a lot from how steph approached his game, and he was amazing, you know, by the by the second half of this game and coach he was scoreless in the first quarter then had 13 in the second, 13 in the third. >> and you could feel that he was starting to get into a rhythm. >> short and rotation from steve kerr tonight. no minutes for moses. moody little minutes for gp. two more minutes for klay thompson. i thought when klay and steph got those minutes together the middle of the game certainly helped a little splash brother. throwback if you will.

and klay off the bench and have him step out there catching fire after a slow start. always good when those guys are going. nice to see klay have a great game off the bench. and of course any time steph puts up 2030 you know you're going to be good to go. if you're the warriors. >> yeah. and klay had 26 points as he continues to adapt to that sixth man role. the headline obviously steph curry is back. warriors win. draymond green also returned. now he only missed one game because of a back injury. but everything is different when he's on the court balancing out the floor throwing the lobs. >> and i think that this game was particularly unique in the way that he went back to the old draymond that we used to, really looking for kuminga and really understanding that if this team wants to get to the next level, how much they need kuminga and you seem looking for him, but also just moving the ball and creating opportunities for his teammate. he was brilliant tonight, 31 assists to go along with 12 rebounds and six points. >> coach 16 games left in the regular season for the warriors. technically there are ninth place now. how high can they go? >> can i need a little help from

the mavericks to slide back? obviously they can have a little bit of an impact in the two head to head matchups left with the mavericks, the mavericks and slide back in. the warriors can stay hot. uh- be building off tonight. we might see him sneak into that eighth spot and you never know. you get to eight. you can get close to seven, but you definitely want to try to avoid that 910 at all costs. although it does look like we're on a collision course to stay in this 910 spot. and see the lakers again come april. >> we don't want that. i don't want to see lebron in april. we'll see how it shakes out, guys. thanks to the ice we go festive sharks fans in columbus sharks down three one entering the third about halfway through henry thrun gets team teal within a goal. final minutes sharks would try to tie it up. they pull the goalie for the extra attacker. shot gets blocked. and you know it's going to happen here. we're going the other way. blue jackets empty netter for alex nylander. sharks fall for two. they've lost 12 of 13. got the worst record in the nhl. soccer quakes in kansas city 82nd minute quakes down two one. it's a free kick action near the goal. rodriguez is tied it up. no replay. handball of

vitor costa so no goal. quakes lose two one. they're winless four games into the season. the final pac 12 men's basketball game ever. oregon and colorado for the conference title. ducks led most of the way, but colorado takes the lead with about five minutes to go on the luke o'brien triple. oregon. though the ducks quack attack finish on a 14 six run. n'faly dante with a hammer. oregon takes the final pac 12 tournament 7568. get the automatic bid to the ncaa as the bracket gets announced tomorrow. abc seven sports sponsored by river rock casino. karina. >> all right, larry, thank you. and a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. download the app now and start streaming. that's it for tonight. i'm karina nova. abc seven news continues tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. for frances
