[Tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse: When and How to See It].

The total lunar eclipse was particularly remarkable because it was occurring while the moon was in perigee, the closest the moon was to the Earth all year and why it’s called a supermoon.
What happened last night far exceeded expectations.
The increased cloud cover has not managed to produce any rain over Mid-Michigan, but it will try to spoil things in a different way.
A few showers and some drizzle will work into the region later today and could be around Philly for the Papal Mass, although chances for any rain in Philadelphia are low.
This will all come to an end on Tuesday as a cold front moves through ushering in the start of a cooler weather pattern.
And I haven’t forgotten you folks in Alaska and Hawaii. Hawaii will not fare much better for those hoping to catch the closing stages of the eclipse.
Monday’s forecast for Austin: A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies in the afternoon. There are patches of thick clouds mixed with patches of clear skies. The Southwest Desert, Pacific Northwest and Californiawill be dry and tranquil … and flawless for viewing the moon show. The forecast is for more delightful autumnal weather, with few clouds and daytime highs in the 70s.
Here’s a link to the latest visible satellite loop.
