it's because a super moon is the second full moon in a month and a blood moon because it will actually have a reddish hue to it once that full eclipse begins, but we are still under the partial eclipse, it began at about 3:48 and when it does become at the greatest totality at 5:29 is we're still about 45 minutes away from that, we will start to see that bright reddish hue to it. and the patchy fog, that's going to block the view for a lot of people, especially in the north bay and parts of the east bay, and then this all comes to an end at 7:11. so we will continue to watch that as well as the fog. napa visibility down to a quarter of a mile so really a tough drive or even just getting out the door to work or school this morning. we are going to see our high temperatures today reaching into the mid to upper 60s, it's going to be such a beautiful afternoon. look at half-moon bay we will be up to 70 degrees, also 70 today

normal temperatures. vianey, anything happening on the roadways? no. there is no rain in the maps but fortunately no major accidents on my traffic maps. all green right now for go. this one just popped up in hayward so i will have to check that one out right there, but it looks like for the most part we have had a fairly easy smooth commute this morning. east bay drive times northbound 880, nine minutes, westbound 580 about eight minutes and typically we do start to see buildup along westbound 580, although one area that is seeing a little bit of a backup, let's take a live look right now and see what bridge -- oh, no, this wasn't the camera i was looking for, that's okay. the bay bridge camera is starting to see some buildup. i don't know if the metering lights are on just yet, but it certainly looks that way. there it is, yeah. metering lights are definitely on. send it back to you. happening today in san francisco, the u.s. navy is holding a community meeting on
