Here in the bay area, many opinions on what type of person should be in the next pope. Its typical that also be a cardinal in the church. But everyone we spoke to wants the next pope to be someone more progressive than benedict. I think that its good he decided to resign if he feels like hs aging enough that he cant be in control of the p church and divisions and put someone in significantly younger and have more of a heartbeat of the Younger Generation and what might matter to them move forward. Among the candidates, one from the philippines recently said the church should listen more and admit its mistakes. Its unlikely the new pope will be from the United States.

The event was designed to coordinate with rallies across the country including one in washington, d. C. Organizers say its important to put a face on the movement and push the white house to act now. I think theyve been stymie with a do Nothing Congress and a house of representatives that just wont face facts. And but the administration and the president wants to do the right thing. When he looks at his daughters over the dinner tooem table at night, he wants to make a world that is safe for them and their children.

It happened 1 years since the warriors have had an allstar but tonight that changed. It did. Nbc bay areas lauren scott brings us the latest from the nba allstar game in houston. Thank you so much. A really fun weekend here in houston comes to a close where the warriors giving their first allstar since 1997 and david lee helped the west defeat. Had a great time. West got a victory tonight. Got in, got to play a couple of minutes. Got a few buckets with good defense. And thought i contributed a little bit in the second half to us getting the lead. Whats your take away . Biggest thing is getting to interact with the guys and being part of such a special weekend overall and representing the warriors and we havent had a allstar since 7 and it was great to represent all my teammates. Im exciting for that. All told this week weekend, four warriors taking part this weekend from the threepoint shootout to the rising stars challenge tos allstar game. Hopefully a sign of great things to come. Here in houston at the allstar game, send it back to you in studio. Do you remember the last allstar the warriors had . Uhuh. You . I believe it was freewell. You just looked that up. I did not look it up. Thats impressive. Okay. Rob is impressive and an allstar, too. Maybe nor yesterdays weather. 70s is pretty nice. Tuesday, a lot of folks will not be happy to see me. We do need rain and snow though. Its been a while. Its been a dry start to the 2013. Right now no rain outside. Weve got 40s and 50s currently. 39 degrees in nevada. The winds onshore right now. So that means we should see some patchy low clouds moving inland overnight. We could see some locally thick fog, too. Especially in the inland valleys. Watch out for that for your morning commute. Show you the rainfall totals today in december. 100 of average. Now more or less of a month and a half of dry weather. Were 85 or so of average around the bay area right now. The snow pack has really come down. These number down 55 of average statewide as of today. Still ahead of last year which is one of the driest years weve seen ever, that was last year where the snow pack was slow. Right now, 55 of average. Getting a boost now come tuesday as the system here which has been dropping out of the gulf of alaska today, makes the move to the southeast. Tonight with more clouds and eventually tuesday. Much cooler temperatures. Rain, wind, and maybe some mountain top snow. Heres the evolution of our pattern change tomorrow. Ing looking at some clouds. Towards tomorrow evening though, dont be surprised to see a stray shower or two as the atmosphere starts to moisten up. That should wring out maybe a couple of showers as early as tomorrow morning. The main event will be Tuesday Morning. This is your Tuesday Morning commute. You can see the cold front raising around the south bay around 11 00 in the morning. That will be your most consistent heavy burst of rain. During the afternoon, scattered showers and as the cooler air comes in the moisture is going to back off a bit. But as the cooler air arrives we could see snow maybe down close to 3,000 feet or slightly lower. During the day there on tuesday. That system quickly moves into southern california. Wednesday now looks dry. Thursday will be the next chance of showers but that now looks mainly to the north bay. Rain totals, quarter inch. For tuesday in the sierra, should be approaching a foot of snow with this system and the ones to follow thursday into friday. Again, saturday should toss a little more snow in the high country as we wrap up the week. Tomorrows temperatures, down. Mid to up paul ryan 50s for highs. Areas of low clouds for the morning and high clouds in the afternoon. Close to 60 in pleasanton. Could see highs in mid 50s and up towards santa rose a, 57 degrees. You can see how cool tuesday will be. Main event for our weather. Highs near 50s inland and inner bay. Wednesday we should catch a break. Showers shutting down. Thursday and friday, i think most of those showers will be around Sonoma County heading out to the sierra. Saturday, perhaps that system coming in will bring another chaps of showers to the areas north of the golden gate. But the good news for our rainy pattern, the it is moving south so more opportunities every two or three days to see more rain and higher elevations. I just want to do a little fact check on the whole thing. Reality check. You were right. But do you know who was before that . I dont. Do you know . Chris. Three years. Nice, 20 points for you approximately chris mull lens and jim hardaway. This is your department. Shes chiming in on it. Hes trying to stunt me. Rob came back, it was great. You guys are doing great.

The warriors havent had a allstar since 1970. Lee represented the warriors in the allstar game in houston. Lets go out to the lone star state, nba allstar festivities. Lee looking cool, calm, and collected. A little bit of action right here. David lee for the easy bucket. He had six points in 13 minutes. Second quarter, chris paul, how about a nice dunk as he passes it. Chandler right there. End of the half, dwyane wade and the guys were looking pretty sharp. And theres david lee with another twohanded flush. However, it was the outside shooting. By the west that kept those guys on their toes all night. Chris paul taking him to the hoop. It goes on to be named the nba allstars most valuable player. He had 20 points and 15 assists. Moving on to baseball.
