Lunar Eclipse Forecast Update: Will The Weather Cooperate? [tomorrow]

[240B]

A lunar eclipse is less than 24 hours away, beginning at 5:15 a.m. ET, which means a partial eclipse will be visible in the East and a full lunar eclipse will occur for the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.

  Lunar Eclipse Weather Forecast   That is, if Mother Nature cooperates.
Below are the details regarding the weather conditions during the lunar eclipse.
 Best View The best chance for clear or mostly clear skies early Wednesday morning is a swath from northern and central California (away from the coast) into the northern Great Basin, northern Plains, Upper Mississippi Valley and Lower Ohio Valley.
Another area that should see mostly clear skies stretches from Chesapeake Bay southward to most of the Deep South.
 Iffy Conditions Some wrap-around clouds may be enough to blot out part of the eclipse for a time in the Appalachians and around the northern and eastern Great Lakes. Spotty showers or thundershowers may do the same in parts of the Tennessee Valley.
While showers may be few and far between, a band of subtropical moisture may keep skies cloudier than ideal in parts of South Florida.

Weather not cooperating?  It looks clear on the forecast for ID.

I'm in the Ohio Valley - it's ALWAYS cloudy for every astronomical event.

Still, I'll get up at 5AM and hope.  I am the eternal optimist!

Do you know when the next one will be?

Yes, April 4, 2015.

Here's the NASA Eclipse Web Site.  Very good.

What is the time? 6 am to 7:30am? may be a time thing.

What is the time? 6 am to 7:30am? may be a time thing.

Depends on where you are located.  The eclipse is total from 10:25 am UTC till 11:24 am UTC (UTC stands for Universal Time Coordinate and is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time).

Ask Google to convert the UTC time to your local time and it will direct you to a website to do that.  Then you will know how early you have to get up.    ^-^
