live inside shea center now, where the warriors tip off in just about 40 minutes. hi, bailey. >> hey, greg and christina. yeah, there is that sense of urgency ahead of this game, but also a sense of kind of calmness in this arena. but that urgency is something head coach steve kerr did touch on just about 30 or 40 minutes ago when he addressed the media ahead of this game, and as you mentioned, really the focus. now, the big question mark is can they climb the western conference standings here to improve their seeding when it comes to playoffs? now there's two regular season games

left, of course, this one against the new orleans pelicans and then one tomorrow. but since the all star break the warriors have really been set in that number ten seed. they've remained relatively stagnant. but now will the dubs are playing their best basketball of course coming just at the right time. and the team of course aware of the situation and what is on the line in this matchup. >> yeah i heard sacramento loss. so obviously it's still on us to win two games. but if you know phoenix or portland can can get them one. that'd be amazing to slot up to the eight. just going to give it everything we got because we know this is kind of our season right here. >> all right. tonight of course a big game on the court. you just heard from brandon pazinski there. but i'm going to move out of the way. it's a big night off the court for the warriors. notably draymond green. it is autism awareness night is the cause. that is very close to the heart of draymond green. he is hosting a group with the joshua's group courtside for

the warriors are 20 and 19 at home throughout the season. it is something head coach steve kerr called a big surprise, something he said that if you told him that stat at the beginning of the season, he said he just wouldn't believe it or would have a hard time believing it. of course they are hoping that record improves to 21 and 19 after the game tonight, but we will just have to wait and see greg and christina. i'll throw it back to you guys in the studio, but i mentioned that sense of urgency. it's something that this team is aware of. also something that longtime ktvu photog tony hardrick is aware of. he did tell me right before this game he's a lifelong warriors fan. he hasn't watched a fourth quarter in two weeks because he says he's just too nervous. turn off the tv, tony. >> turn off the tv. all right, here's the bottom line a lot of scenarios control your own destiny. warriors win out and they can wait for everything else to come into play. bailey o'carroll live at chase center. bailey. thank you. >> the a's are back at the coliseum tonight and for the first time since the team confirmed their move to sacramento after a rough start,

into the bay area. we're talking about some rain back in the forecast. just amazing. in april. one day we could be talking about some 80s and now we're talking about some rain showers and sierra snowfall. so definitely a cold pattern setting up for your saturday. and you can see the expected rainfall totals. the bulk of the rainfall will be focused in the santa cruz mountains, possibly approaching two inches of rainfall. a place like san francisco could be on either side of an inch and up in the north bay could be over an inch of rainfall. it won't be a persistent rainfall all weekend long. the main front moves in first thing tomorrow morning. early tomorrow morning, say between about 4:00 and 6:00. and then this will also be a snow producer in the sierra. no watches out toward tahoe, but we do have a possibly around 3 to 8in of snowfall as we head into saturday, saturday night, and possibly into sunday. so here's the system we are watching on the satellite. there's that circulation approaching northern california already, some green showing up on the radar right around eureka, right around cape mendocino and at least in the short tum, there's a chance you might encounter some mist or some drizzle. you can see a few showers at least approaching

portions of mendocino county. now, the winds have been picking up all day right now you can see the winds gusting over 20 miles an hour out toward concord and vacaville. sfo gusting at 28 miles an hour, and san jose winds gusting to 25 miles an hour. here's a live camera looking out above san francisco. it's picking up on the cloud cover, moving in so we will continue to thicken up the cloud cover over the next few hours and current numbers have cooled off into the 50s and the lower 60s. overnight, we'll be tracking some 40s with lots of cloud cover and rainfall developing. first thing tomorrow morning, probably while you're sleeping around 4:00 or 5:00 tomorrow morning, you'll probably hear the rain drops hitting the roof. so a cooler today? that's the headline. at least that what happened today. you can see this front coming on board here. so the front this will produce the rainfall first thing tomorrow morning and then some off. and on rain showers into the afternoon hours on sunday. probably the better day to get outside, but we still have to hold on to the chance of a few showers. so here's the forecast model. here we are, 10:00. the chance of some rain,

maybe approaching the north bay. this is tomorrow morning, 4 a.m. look at this. a moderate to heavy rainfall. this is 6 a.m. and then after that front moves on through, we'll have some breaks in the rainfall. but still, i would plan on that once. once you have a break, you can actually have those showers develop quickly and maybe some thunderstorms late saturday afternoon into saturday evening. and then on sunday. still lots of clouds in place and the possibility of still a leftover shower forecast. highs definitely cooling things off tomorrow. no 80s, no 70s. not much in the way of 60s. most of the bay area tomorrow will be in the 50s. there's that shower chance into sunday. and then if you want to say goodbye to the storm clouds, eventually that will happen. monday. partly sunny skies, a warming trend into early next week. and by wednesday, the warmest locations here in the bay area could be back up into the 80s. mark >> thank you. it's an annual tradition in stockton. thousands of people gathered to celebrate this year's asp

increase access to stem education. each of these students can use the scholarship to pursue a degree in computer science or engineering related subjects at the university of their choosing for at least one of the recipients. the scholarship came at just the right time. >> we have had a rough past year with just everything going on in my life, with my mom being diagnosed with a brain tumor, and this scholarship means a lot to me and my family because this is how i'm going to support myself and not be a burden on them. when i go off to college. >> amazon is also promising the students a paid internship after their freshman year of college. amazon distributed these scholarships to 63 seniors across california and to 400 students nationwide. the san joaquin asparagus festival kicked off today in stockton. >> yeah, this is the event's 38th year, bringing people together for the biggest asparagus festival in the west. attendees can grab a fried asparagus stick or a group of

them before heading out to a cooking demonstration. or you can ride a free mini train, ride some adventure virus eaters can also pick up some asparagus flavored ice cream. i don't know about that. i probably pass on that. i'll do the fried one, not the ice cream one. organizers say there's already a large turnout. crowds flooding the san joaquin county fairgrounds. >> there's a lot of buzz going on here for this festival, so we've been hearing a lot of people who want to be out here even earlier than before. we've had lines of hundreds of people before the fair even opened the door. so we're expecting a record number of people this weekend. >> if you missed today's kickoff, you can attend the festival through the weekend before it closes at 8 p.m. on sunday. mark, what do you think about that? i think it sounds great, and i think if somebody offered you ice cream and did not say it was asparagus ice cream, i think you would like it. >> you think you could tell what it was? >> got it. so you want to trick me, is what you're saying? >> yeah. got it. if you're going to the festival or anything outside tomorrow, you might have

to adjust your plans a little bit. yeah. >> the band of rain comes in early tomorrow morning and then some off and on rain showers. so don't be deceived. where we could have some sunny breaks and all of a sudden a shower could develop. so it remains unsettled tomorrow. and then there's a chance at a sunday as well. sounds good. >> yeah. >> all right. what better time to have a fried asparagus than in the rain? >> yeah. west coast round is coming up next here on ktvu. >> a reminder to stream the latest news and weather n your smart tv. anyti
