hawaii last night. a very strong system that's been hanging out overhead and it brought some super cells to hawaii. they looked at hail and even saw a tornado touch down. yes, in hawaii. believe it or not. very unusual for this time of year. but not to worry, that system is not headed our way. we are not looking at anything like that in the coming days. but we are looking at some rain, just not severe weather. you can see we have our clouds in place this morning. just a few clouds, even some of us seeing sunshine. the clouds draped across northern and central california. these clouds will continue to offer in, well, just some patchy fog at least for the time being. and eventually we'll turn over to see something sunshine. tomorrow, here's our next system. this is actually going to bring us a few rain showers as we head through the day tomorrow. today will be a dry day for many of us and temperatures, again, very cold. 36 in santa rosa, 47 in san jose. san francisco at 47 as well. here are your weather headlines

for today. we're looking at a few patches of morning fog and eventuallyç we'll see more sunshine as we head through the afternoon hours. only place that has to worry about rain today, the north bay. you may see a few patches of light showers, only about a tenth of an inch if it happens. tomorrow the rain becomes more widespread for all of us. maybe a tenth to a quarter inch more than we've seen in the past rainfalls. here the system is hanging offshore. eventually it will slide this way as we head through the day today. one cold front as i mentioned is dying out and washing away. that will move away as we head through the day, making way for this next system. yes, we're talking about cool temperatures. in fact, yesterday some of us got back into the 70s, even the 60s across san francisco. not tomorrow. we'll be looking at 50s and 60s. this upcoming week we're talking about rain, rain, rain. dust those umbrellas off. 65 in san jose later on today, again, with sunshine, same for los gatos, 63 in palo alto.

east bay, similar numbers. a little cooler as you work your way from the peninsula up towards the north bay. you'll be looking at 57. 64 in santa rosa later on this afternoon. again, a spotty shower is possible in wine country but that's really the only place we're looking at showers. it does become wet on your three-day forecast. you notice the temperatures go down. we're back to 61 for your daytime high tomorrow. we're back in the mid-50s as we head toward the coastal areas. enjoy today. we will see sunshine, especially from san francisco down to san jose. if you live in the north bay, heads up. you may see a spot shower later on today. everyone gets wet as we head towards the upcoming week. rain in the forecast every single day. it doesn't look like it will be a complete washout even though it looks more impressive on the maps. wednesday, thursday and friday is where we see the bulk of precipitation move through. >> we like to see rain in any form this time of year.

it's when we need it. >> we definitely need it. >> thank you very much, anthony. it is that time of year again. you'll need to set your clocks ahead an hour for daylight saving time before you go to sleep tonight. you will pay dearly for that, being new to this shift. it officially begins at 2:00 sunday morning. for some people, the change is not easy. studies have shown an increase in traffic and workplace accidents on the monday after the switch to daylight saving time. experts say that's because the most difficult clock to reset is the one that's inside all of us. >> it's not just that you get tired but in fact the rest of your hormones are altered, your metabolism is altered. it's really not just a brain phenomena. it's really entire body phenomena. >> researchers say morning people adapt to this change this time of year better than so-called night owls. i wake up at 2:30. i'm going to pay dearly for that one. the bay area waters have special visitors this morning.

a gray whale and her calf are passing through the san francisco bay on their wayç to alaska. "today in the bay's" jean elle has more on what the coast guard is doing to protect those massive animals. >> reporter: whale watchers spent the evening scanning the bay from shore in san francisco, looking for what nbc's chopper caught a glimpse of friday, a gray whale hanging out around alcatraz. >> there's this whole other world underneath the surface here. >> reporter: shelly cook never saw the spout but wind surfer steve bodner had a close encounter. >> it's a smelly creature, full of barnicles but it's cool. you don't see them often. it's a special treat. >> reporter: he got close but knows to give the whale some space. >> just stop and not make any sudden movements and let them go about their way. >> reporter: scientists say the gray whale has a calf with her, heading up to alaska but swam into the bay wednesday. as word spread, some boaters are moving in for a closer look. the coast guard is now advising

mariners to keep their distance. crew members are ready to enforce the marine mammal protection act. >> if we get word that someone is out there harassing the whale or within that 50-yard zone, then we will go out there and we will enforce. >> reporter: mike warner is hoping to a glimpse from shore. >> it's such a majestic animal. it's huge. it also has a calf with it. so that's pretty cool. >> reporter: he'll probably have lots of company along the marina green this weekend. >> if they're still here i'll be out peeking all weekend. i'm going to take a look. >> reporter: jean elle, "today in the bay." the coast guard says getting too close to the whale or harassing it can lead to a maximum fine of $20,000 and even arrest. we don't know their names but we do know what they did. and now they are international heroes. someone posted this dolphin rescue on youtube. a video camera was pointed at the beach near rio de janeiro when about 20 dolphins swam up and beached themselves.

there's speculation they were caught in a strong current. tourists, some of them holding beer gots can be seen kicking off their sandals, wading into the water, helping the locals pull the dolphins back into deeper waters. once all the animals were off the sand an impromptu rescue team started cheering as well. that's amazing. much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of devastating earthquake and tsunami in japan.ee hoowo s how the country's rebuilding one year later.

this is "today in the bay." people in japan are preparing to mark the first anniversary of the massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country's northeast coast. police are still searching for the bodies of missing people while those who survived are trying to rebuild their lives. nbc's ian williams travels to

the region to see how far they are marking their anniversary. >> reporter: good morning to you. all along this battered coast, communities devastated by last year's tsunami are remembering that terrible day with sadness. but also with a determination to rebuild their lives. entire towns were obliterated when the raging water swept in, following a 9.0 earthquake. 15,000 people are dead and 4,000 still missing. one year later, much of the mangled wreckage that littered the coast has been clear and former towns have become baron wastelands. most has been piled into vast mountains of debris, some of it feared toxic. that's equivalent to 19 years worth of trash in the worst affected area. more than 500,000 buildings were destroyed or damaged. there's still no real idea as to how to getç rid of it all or h

long that will take. while there's been plenty of talk, there's no real blueprint for rebuilding. thousands still live in temporary homes. there are signs of hope, though. we filmed with a group of seaweed farmers out harvesting for first time since the disaster wiped out most of the region's fishing fleet. they've been supported by the u.s. charity mercy corps. what there's no shortage of here is spirit. the people are resilient. and that is, perhaps, the most important asset as they look to the future. back to you. >> the affects of that massive quake and tsunami were so powerful, you might remember they were felt as far away as our coastline here. the tsunami traveled thousands of miles all the way to the santa cruz harbor where it ripped away boats and destroyed docks. the total damage, $17 million. as of now, only two of the 23 docks have been repaired. but the port director says the repairs have been slow for a very good reason.

>> we couldn't possibly put out a contract of that magnitude and disrupt the entire harbor all at one time. so we broke it up into smaller, more manageable pieces. >> the good news is that federal and state funds cover about 90% of the repair bill but all of the damage from the tsunami is not expected to be fixed until late next year. we wanted to invite you to watch our tsunami special "disaster in japan one year later." we hear from people who lived through the tragedy and talk about the lessons learn, plus the millions of tons of debris floating in our direction. join us tomorrow evening at 5:30. much more ahead on "today in the bay". rebuilding after the devastating san bruno blast in 2010. we're going to talk with one family about howne they are putting their lives back together.

loans, a togo's sand witch shop and doughnut factory. there was heavy fire and smoke but fortunately no one was hurt. the fire was contained to the back of the strip mall. investigators, as we're showing you, remain on the scene. it is a type of community like many others in the bay area, family friendly, safe, filled with good schools and that's why this story is raising a lot of eyebrows. an attempted robbery and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl. the trail attack happened in san ramon. "today in the bay's" cheryl hurd was there and tells us what happened. >> i'm startled because the street is usually quiet. >> reporter: that may have been what prompted a young man to rob and try to sexually assault the 15-year-old girl in san ramon. >> not surprised i guess, because it's often times that i run and don't really run into anybody at all. i need to be more careful. >> reporter: san ramon police say the attack happened just before 3:00 friday afternoon

near westside drive. the suspect approached the girl from behind on a trail leading up from gateway center. he allegedly pointed a silver handgun at her and demanded the teenager's iphone. >> very unsettling to see or hear that type of activity happening around here. it's not very common. >> reporter: police say the victim was pushed to the ground and the suspect attempted to sexually assault her. the victim told investigators a passing car might have frightened the suspect who ran away. those who use the trail in the neighborhood say they will be on the lookout. >> from tomorrow i'm going to be changing my route. so yes, it's a little scary. >> everybody walks around like this nowadays. you know? people see that and you're distracted so you're not paying attention. you become a target. you have to keep your head on a sbifl at all times. >> that was cheryl hurd reporting. police are looking for a young man in his 20s with very short cropped hair. at the time of the attack the victim says he was wearing a

lyle blue shirt and dark blue jeans. eight days now and still no sign of a san bruno man who disappeared while rock climbing on a pacifica beach. 27-year-old joseph mchenry was last seen on march 2nd at his home in san bruno. he told friends he was going rock climbing and camping overnight at a secluded beach. police, sheriff's deputies and the u.s. coast guard have searched the area but have not found him. detectives did find mchenry's car parked in a neighborhood near the sharp park golf course. >> i'm deeply concern. he's a great guy. he loves to go camping and things like that. i know for sure he loves all that outdoors stuff. i just don't know what could have happened to him. >> that friend says he will head to pacifica today to help search for his friend as well. occupy wall street is running out of çcash. a finance report shows that occupy wall street in new york city is getting low on money. the group that brought the nationwide movement against economic inequality six months ago had about $45,000 left in

its main account. weekly donations plummeted to about $1,600. supporters say it could just be weeks before the group runs out of money altogether. the republican presidential nominating slugfest continues this morning. caucus voters in kansas and wyoming will voice their preferences later today. and then next week they're off to the south with primaries next tuesday in mississippi and alabama. so far, mitt romney is still the gop front-runner. many people simply left. left behind the destruction and horrible memories but others are moving back looking to renew their faith in the san bruno neighborhood that was destroyed by the pg & e gas line explosion. as "today in the bay's" monte francis reports this weekend, many of them are coming home. >> reporter: there are signs this san bruno neighborhood is slowly coming back to life, but there are also reminders of what happened here just 18 month ago. >> opened the door and, man,

what a blast. it was super hot. >> reporter: 74-year-old bob hensel survived the blast but his home was one of 38 destroyed by the massive ball of fire. hensel and his wife, nancy, have rebuilt in the same spot. after almost 40 years they say it's still home, even though right now it might not feel that way. >> i get in touch with some of the other neighbors. they're going through the same thing. we didn't lose family. that's the best part. >> we try to control the things that you can and there's just some things you have no control over. we're both getting older. maybe we take a different look on life because of to. >> reporter: the hensels say filling a new house with new things isn't an easy task. they decided to stay because their children and grandchildren live close by. and while the memory of the blast is still vivid, the hensels say they're looking forward to making new memories in a new home. >> my son and son-in-law and a

grandson all have birthdays in march. so we're going to have dinner up here on the 17th on the floor. >> reporter: pg & e promised to never again rebuild a gas pipeline through this neighborhood and that promise was a condition for many of these families to return. talks are still under way between pg & e and the city of san bruno to provide restitution for the families. in san bruno, monte francis, nbc bay area news. we still have more ahead for you on "today in the bay." coming up, if you have a lucky streak and patience, you might want to try this out. panning for gold. we'll tell you why now is the time to do it.ç ♪
