tonight is the full moon and also a total lunar eclipse. both come together about 12:42,:12:45. get outside, away from the coast. until about 1:00 in the morning. if the fog is near the coast, you might want to get to higher ground or visit someone inland. you need clear skies. we don't have to worry about high clouds. they will be out of picture. so slightly warmer inland. i think it's a push by the coast. 40s, 50s. by noon, 60s 70s later. the low clouds, it looks like they are here to stay. a little chill in the morning air. no doubt about it. once the fog heads back to the coast, it will be a sunny and nice day. morning fog, a lot of sunshine. near 80 inland. you have to get out far. breezy for some. not too bad. upper 70s, low 80s. 50s, 60s, coast and bay. here's sal. we're looking at a commute

that's getting busier by the moment. we're up almost to the peak of the morning commute. i want to show you the traffic here on highway 24. it doesn't look bad. a lot of times we see slow traffic through la fayette. drive time is eight minutes from la fayette to oakland, including crossing the caldecott tunnel. we have a look at the commute at the bay bridge toll plaza. that's backed up for 20, 25 minutes getting into san francisco. we've been looking at the pill. had a couple of incidents pop up on 101. but still, 101 is not bad from san mateo as you head south. as we push into 280, i would say 280 is a nice drive. you heard steve mention there is a little bit of fog out there. back to the desk. a family of five is alive this morning after being woken up by an explosion in their garage. that's when they noticed smoke and flames at their home on wood bridge place just before 4:30.

>> there is a lot of damage. but a lot of smoke damage to the belongings inside and structural damage to the home. and then the fact that the fire is displaced. more importantly, they lost their family pet. >> reporter: the family says they heard an explosion coming from the garage. one of the family members went to investigate and that's when they saw the flames. neighbors also report hearing a loud boom. so investigator right now is looking through all of the charred debris trying to determine what caused the fire. the fire also did damage the home next door an exterior wall. but that home was saved. now, these people that were evacuated we're told it was an elderly woman, a grandmother, her daughter and the two granddaughters as well as the family friend that was staying in that home. they've been very emotional this morning. and haven't wanted to speak on camera.

this fire. why, alex? >> reporter: well, good morning. neighbors -- people would work in the surrounding area here say they have complained for a long time about the homeless encampment set up. people say it was unsafe and filled with trash. people inside were using propane tanks to cook. it was being used by a group of 25 to 30 homeless people and in fact firefighters at this point still aren't entirely sure that everyone made it out during yesterday's fire. that's because there is a concern about the building collapsing. as soon as it is safe, rescuers will go inside and begin looking for victims. the fire began about 3:00 in the afternoon yesterday at this building that's at the intersection of park and montgomery. it used to be a television studio for kntv but it had been vacant since 2004. one woman told us people had been living at the building for years and it turned areas of it into their private apartments.

a man who works just next door says people from the building had broken into his business on a number of occasions. he had called the city several times to complain about the encampment. >> no response. it's kind of like a cat-and- mouse game. but this has gotten really bad. >> and firefighters just can't be sure that everyone made it out during this fire because when they first got here, the roof and the wall had collapsed in many spots. that made it just too dangerous to go inside and search for victims. that search will happen possibly later on today. two firefighters were injured battling the flames yesterday but they do have minor injuries. now arson investigators are working to figure out exactly what started this fire. there are some reports that it was intentionally set. we're live this morning in san jose, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. 8:34. later today, in berkeley,
