"today in the bay's" marla tellez has a preview of tonight. >> reporter: this is not the first time he has taken the stage at the state capital as the third-term governor. jerry brown has delivered the state of the state address, but

never in such dire economic times. his speech is expected to focus on california's almost $25.5 billion deficit and 12.5% unemployment rate. so far he has proposed closing the deficit through spending cuts and a ballot measure extending temporary tax hikes on vehicle sales. the latest survey conducted by the public policy institute of california shows 41% of californians approve of a job he is doing while 39% have not made up their minds yet. so if he delivers and address of substance and one californians can believe in his approval rating is sure to rise. tonight's state of the state address is scheduled to start at 5:00. we will stream it live for you on our website, just log on to

was a day trip to super bowl one. >> i decided to go back in 1967 because i wanted to impress my girlfriend. she was my date, not a girlfriend. i thought it would be cool to go down to sfo, take a jet plane down to l.a., go to a football game, have dipper and come home that night. and it should be really impressed. >> reporter: she wasn't too impressed and they decided to just be friend, but larry's love affair with the super bowl began. and by super bowl 3 rp he could tell it was a match made in heaven. >> this was a great game between the jets and the colts. i'm going to try again next year. by super bowl five and six i was hooked. >> not long after he found someone who understood the love of his game. >> i got married after super bowl 11. i took my life to the rose bowl. she knew there i wasn't going to quit. >> reporter: she also knew he

on missing one any time soon. >> i wonder how much money he has spent on going to a super bowl. >> well, yeah, the early tickets probably were a heck of a lot cheaper than a good seat at this year's game. they are selling tickets not even in the arena outside. 5:19. we want to check the forecast. it is monday. we had a bit of rain over the weekend. >> yeah, we actually had some free watering done for us this weekend, but this week you need to water yourself because high pressure is regaining control and will keep the sunshine over the bay area every single day this week. we have no more rain in the forecast for at least the next seven days. here's the system of low pressure that brought us the showers yesterday. it is now retreating to the east as high pressure moves in from the west. the two combined create a tight pressure gradient. we'll see breezy conditions throughout the day today. then heading through tomorrow some morning fog and a beautiful sunny sky later in the afternoon. so today we are calling it mostly sunny to partly cloudy

because of all the fog this morning in the east bay and north bay. we are also seeing this develop along the peninsula. 43 in santa cruz. 47 degrees in san francisco. turning over to the upper 50s and low 60s heading throughout this afternoon. 60 degrees in oakland. 61 in redwood city. 59 degrees in san francisco. this is very seasonable for where we should be this time of the year. normal temperatures are near 57 degrees. we are seeing more of the norm for today. we'll see the numbers climb heading throughout the rest of the week. take a look at the extended forecast. 61 degrees by tuesday. we are up to the 69-degree range by this coming sunday. so keep that in mind. it will be a beautiful week. you'll need those spring clothes later on, just not today. now, we want to treat you to something pretty fancy. a napa weekend, how does that sound? two lucky couples are going to win free lonling, fine dining and private wine tasting. i think brent and laura's eyes

the american stock markets wake up this morning to more unrest in egypt. scott mcgrew is joining us. worries on friday in some stocks. >> reporter: yes, the dow fell more than 1% 5%, 1.5%. at the overall impact of what's going on, american business does not have major investment in egypt. not the way it does in, say, germany or china, but the worry is protests there will be destabilizing to the world economy. remember, this started in tunisia. now egypt, sudan, possibly syria. the uncertainty to where this stops is the problem. dow futures are flat this morning. you can't think about that region without thinking about oil. egypt is not a major exporter of oil. it pumps it but not much, and most of the oil is used domestically. but a lot of oil passes through the suez canal. while the canal has been protest-free, the unrest is enough to make speculators speculate. meanwhile, the u.s. government is in an awkward position

supporting both the democratic reforms the protestors want and long-time allie hosni mubarak. tracie potts continues our coverage in washington. good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, scott. the obama administration is walking a tightrope, here's a country that we have been allies with for some 30 years now. and the government, president obama said they want to support what the people want, peaceful protests, but that they have to denounce the violence and try to get those americans out of there. we got late word this morning that the first of those charter flights that the state department is trying to organize has now gotten off the ground. it is headed to sigh press sign cypress. it is chaos at the cairo airport as other countries try to get their members and citizens out as well.

i egypt at this point is responding they hope peacefully to the protestors. that's the message from the united states government. they want egypt's government to respond peacefully as much as possible to these democratic protestors. it is a volatile situation exacerbated by the fact that cell phone and internet service is down. and that's made it really tough for a lot of americans to get in touch with their families to make sure they are safe. >> we'll watch that story develop. we are keeping tabs on it all day long. in the meantime, 5z it is 5:45. i'm brent cannon. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we'll get to traffic and weather for you in less than a minute, but first the government wants a lot of us to take it easy on the salt. the agriculture and health and human services department released its newest dietary guidelines today. those are the recommendations that go along with the food pyramid. for the first time those departments are telling people to cut back on their daily salt i take. intake. specifically anyone who is 51
