The san mateo coast. There is cloud cover zipping down from the northwest. A little bit of fog out to the valley. Mostly sunny today. A very dry pattern for us. There are hints of an off shore or northerly breeze. Maybe not that strong. Higher elevations stronger. 30s, 40s 50s. Gilroy at 37. 30s in the santa cruz mountains. Acampbell says 38. If you want rain, go north. There are some up in portland and seattle. Theres none here. There wont be for a while. 60s and 70s, above normal temps. Around pinole you had an issue. Is that taken care of or still causing problems. Well, the accident is cleared but the slow traffic remains on 80 westbound coming away from the carquinez bridge and heading west at richmond. There was a crash at pinole road. You can see the traffic will be slow westbound as you drive through hercules. It is getting a little better. Now there is more slow traffic appearing downstream, if you will. At one point we had a 62minute backup. Now down to 40 minutes. Things are improving. Also on the bay bridge approach, we had a lot of people slowing down earlier on the bridge. I think it had something to do with the moon being so visible earlier. But now things are back to norm o al normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. A crash is blocking a couple of lanes here. Northbound 101 is slow. I would use an alternate route. Maybe 280 if you can instead of 101. 7 02. Lets go back to the desk. Were in the last moments of the super blue blood moon. Looking kind of reddish, orange because of the shadow. But thats why there was an eclipse viewing party aboard the uss hornet overnight. Thats where we find allie rasmus. A lot of people lost sleep over this. I think it was worth it, allie. Reporter yes. Some people spent the night on the uss hornet so they could be out here early this morning. Others lined up here at 3 30 this morning to get on the deck. Hundreds of people came to this spot to get this gorgeous view. The weather cooperated. There was no fog. People have been snapping shots of this beautiful Lunar Eclipse. The super moon blood moon is what it was called. The blood moon because of the reddish tinge that the moon gets when it is in when it is an eclipse. You can see the beautiful view here. It is the tail end of that eclipse. It is just about to be over. A lot of people enjoying the sight since early this morning. I want to bring in the executive director of the uss hornet museum. In this was a big night. Some people spent the light in the bar ricks. Yes. It is a greatest for us. We have an actual tiein to the moon. We were the recovery ship for the first lunar mission. Were now gearing up about 18 months out for the 59th anniversary of those events. It was a perfect morning of it. Great view of the city and the moon all morning long. A lot of people came to visit and it was a good event for everyone. What viewers are seeing, early this morning at 4 30, when you could see the blood red tinge during the eclipse. Thats because the earth shadow cast a reddish hue on the moon when there is an eclipse. Yes. The red effect bends around and gives it a red tint. As the birds wake up this morning. And so it gives us a red blood color to the moon. It was a perfectly clear morning as you saw with us this morning to see it. It was a great experience. And we had a great view of city as well. It was a terrific morning. You mentioned it a minute ago but the uss hornets connection to the moon. Before space shuttles you said when right. Reporter the First Missions to the moon, the astronauts would have to splash down into the ocean and get picked up. Yes. They would land a few miles of the ship. The ship would steam over and a helicopter would pick up the astronauts and the space capsule and bring it on board. And the we declared a shelter in place and the surrounding neighborhoods. Although there was a very strong odor, there was no high levels of any chemicals or any toxic vapors detected in the neighborhood. Reporter and the drifting smoke from the fire even forced toll takers at the san rafael bridge to shelter in place. As they were coming through the toll plazas, there was no one in the booths because the toll takers had to go back inside. They are back in the booths now. Firefighters were working with teams from Sims Metal Management to sift through the smoldering pile and make sure that the hot spots were put out, that the fire would not flare back up.

No big surprises but the division is congress was evident. President trump welcomed as he entered the House Chamber for the first state of the Union Address. He began with a reaffirmation of his driving belief, america first. We have gone forward with a clear vision and a Righteous Mission to make America Great again for all americans. Reporter as expected the president pumped up the economy. But even in that effort, the division in congress was clear. Africanamerican unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded.

Some of the traffic earlier may have been from people looking at the moon from the bay bridge or other spots. Now things have settled down. The commute from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze is a little better. The traffic will be a little slow through pinole and richmond because of earlier issues now clear at the bay bridge.

One of the bigger spots of slow traffic is silicon valley, northbound 101, getting up into Mountain View because of an earlier accident near shoreline. You can use 280. A lot of people have heard about this and theyre on 280 instead. You can see traffic is going to be busy on 280 northbound driving through downtown getting up to the valley.
