anne. >> reporter: the search continues. it has been going on since daybreak today. this man is very well known in the area. so a lot of people are helping search for him in the water, in the air and on land. it's a popular surfing spot off the marin county coast where 40- year-old dan dafoe came several times a week. >> he has been surfing out here for over 30 years. >> reporter: he was last seen alive last night when he went surfing off rodeo beach with two friends. when he was in the open water, somehow he fell unconscious and stopped breathing. his friends tried to do cpr but a wave crashed over them and dan was washed away. the coast guard and fire department tried to locate him for two hours but stopped when darkness and rough waters made it unsafe. the community is so small, many of the rescue workers knew dan. >> it was even weighing harder on us to make that decision but, you know, we work with

rescue professionals and we knew it was the right thing to do. >> reporter: the water temperature here is about 54 degrees. rescuers say there is no way dan survived the night. >> ever since i was little coming out here, he always took me under his wing. >> reporter: friends and family spent the day at the coast waiting for word. >> it's hard to, like, fathom this whole experience. >> reporter: dan was born and raised in san rafael, worked as a local contractor and moonlit in band called the atomic machine. >> it's a huge loss for the surf community and everybody who knew him. he will truly be really missed, you know? >> reporter: a lot of questions this afternoon. why exactly did dan stop breathing out there in the water initially? was that some sort of medical condition? or did he have an accident in the ocean? we may never know. live in the marin headlands anne makovec, kpix 5. this is state of the state address today governor jerry brown laid out the ways

california has fought against income inequality. >> we raised the minimum wage. we now have the first income tax credit. we strengthened our already strong prevailing wage laws. we made sure that 6.5 million workers will be paid for sick leave. >> a top priority in the governor's agenda is california's role as a leader in combatting climate change. >> mankind must change the ways and radically decarbonize the economy. the goal is to bring per capita greenhouse gases down to two tons per person. that will take decades and vast innovation. but with senate bill 350, we're on our way. >> governor brown also cited last month's historic paris climate agreement and said the rest of the world is looking to the state for solutions. and as super bowl 50 draws near, workers in the south bay are prepping for players, parties and thousands of people. kpix 5's kiet do is at levi's

stadium to show us all the hustle and bustle before the super bowl begins. kiet. >> reporter: yeah. good afternoon. we are live here in the western side of levi's stadium looking at what used to be red lot one and vip parking lot. now it is a bustling construction zone as they build out the different structures for the big game. wah this thing will do it -- whatever this thing will do, it will be huge. san francisco has super bowl city but the south bay has intercepted its fair share of events and activities, as well. you can see hints around downtown san jose that the most watched sporting event in the world is coming. >> we are near have you, anxious but really -- we are nervous, anxious, but really excited. >> reporter: at the marriott, the hotel has undergone a top- to-bottom $10.5 million renovation. the entire exterior of the building will be wrapped in the team's colors and logo and the players will be staying in rooms like this that were redone with high-speed internet,modern colors and textures. >> designers call it, um, kind of contemporary chic if you

but we do have changes in the forecast in the form of rain moving this way and so i fired up our live hi-def doppler radar. got a radar sweep moving in the middle of the screen at mount vaca and another one at mount umunum to the south and one to the north so we can see what's going on up there and there you have it. we have the leading edge of storm 11 moving this way that will be providing rain showers by the morning commute. this is the scene, boy, that changed on me but nevertheless, those people out and about on the san mateo bridge under high, thin overcast. temperature-wise look at everybody pretty much in the 60s except livermore and san francisco high 50s. it is now 66 degrees in san jose. here's what you need to know today. increasing clouds and wind. the winds will increase out of the southeast 10 to 20 miles per hour. you saw those mild temperatures. storm number 11 arrives tonight. here you have it, the frontal boundary, the leading edge of this area of low pressure already bringing the rain showers well to the north of the bay area. this is the active jet stream.

it's a bull's eye right into san francisco. that's why we've been pretty wet this month. no precipitation in southern california. that's the kind of jet stream we want. and storm 11 is going to take that course of the jet stream. so here's how we're timing out the precipitation. this is your futurecast. you see the leading bands of rain showers and there you have it, after midnight the rain pushes into the north bay. here's your morning commute. some heavy rain in the santa cruz mountains. lunch hour hit-and-miss scattered showers. we'll have a hit-and-miss shower for the evening commute. and then the core of the center of the area of low pressure moves through saturday then begins to dry out just in time for sunday. your tahoe report: smack in between the numbers, boy, all the way up to 67, 68 degrees. and after sunday, not a raindrop in sight for a few days. >> yeah. that's not bad.

but i'm looking the 67. that's pretty good. >> feels good outside, it does. thank you. still ahead, helping kids heal both body and mind. how a bay area doctor tracked down a troubling pattern and made a change. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

day is going to be kale, tuscan kale. it has three different names. it is absolutely beautiful. when you buy it, make sure it's green all the way around just like. free from any yellowing whatsoever and check the veins here, too. you want to make sure there's no yellowing here. where it's been cut, nice and clear and feel nice and fresh. when you bring it home, simply you want to store the kale in the refrigerator right away. now, it looks hearty but every day you keep it in the refrigerator, the nutritional value starts to deplete and it's loaded with nutritional value. it's a superfood. by the way, it's milder and a little tastier as far as i'm concerned as the regular kale. store it from the refrigerator and use it within two or three days. great in soups, great saute, great just about any way you like to enjoy it. like i said, a superfood. i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. remember, it has to feel fresh. research shows childhood trauma leads to lifelong health problems so a doctor is creating a national model of care. sharon chin introduces us to this week's jefferson award winner.
