back to the philippines that will get us wet right through midday monday. this is a 3. the third time we've seen a 3 on the storm impact scale. meaning this is a big one, a strong one. anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of rain lower elevations, 2 to 4 inches in the hills with wind gusts over 50 miles an hour. that means the possibility of downed trees. some of you could have your power out. hopefully the

is offshore. there it is. you can see the reds. and remember, the gusty winds will be accompanying that frontal passage, and by 11:00 things really slow down considerably and they lighten up in terms

the passage of this system and we put the rainfall totals together with today's, over an inch and a half in san francisco. and then we will take this through monday, midday. everyone picks up three inches. almost close to four inches in mountain view and san jose. so winter storm warning from 10:00 tonight. the rain will change over to snow after midnight. and then through 4:00 tomorrow morning

the lakers in l.a. here on abc7 on sunday afternoon. steph curry said the fans deserve as much credit for the streak as the guys on the floor. >> a lot of energy tonight. you know, they can be as much a part of the accomplishment of the home win streak as we are. >> it means a lot because it is something we talked about at the beginning of every year. the home court, you want to be great. protect the home court. this is not the regular season the cal women's basketball team had hoped for. 4-4 in conference play but they made history in the tournament. trying to take down arizona state. this was a freshman show. two-point game, what do you do? inside. she's 6'4", smooth in the paint. she goes for 24 points on 11 of 12 shooting. nice use of the left. thomas, raining threes as the bears score the upset 75-64. first time a 10 seed has beat a 2 in tourney history. >> it's a big upset. this league is top to bottom, and you help prepare each other for this. i'm so proud of our players. they were tough today. >> stanford taking on washington in another quarter final. kelsey, unstoppable! lay-up. game high 29. huskies up by 16. cardinals come back fourth quarter. erica had 22. so 67-58. 2:45 left. lilly thompson, a stanford within two, but washington would hold on. oh, you can't block there. tyra knocks down the 3. 73-65, washington. who would have thought it would be cal and
