Today’s Weather
Mostly cloudy with typical temperatures for this time of year, in the mid-40s.
Lunar Eclipse
The ‘Blood Moon’ lunar eclipse is set to occur on Thursday night but be aware that the weather could obstruct this spectacular event. The full worm moon will turn red during the first total lunar eclipse since 2022, an event that can be seen across all of the United States and Canada, but cloudy weather is threatening our show!! A “Blood Moon” eclipse causes the moon to appear red or orange because any sunlight not blocked by our planet is filtered through a thick slice Earth’s atmosphere on its way the lunar surface. It is as if all the world’s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon.
