Meanwhile, an active storm track from the Pacific Ocean is expected to bring a widespread swath of clouds and precipitation across much of California, and parts of the intermountain region and desert Southwest. Light snows will fall from northern Indiana through the Chicago area, then northwestward into much of Wisconsin, northern Minnesota and northeast North Dakota. Stubborn low clouds are expected to disappoint prospective eclipse watchers across much of the upper Midwest, lower Great Lakes, and parts of the South and nation's heartland. And to top it all off, the Ursids meteor shower is expected to create a few shooting stars tonight that should be especially visible given the dimmed moon. The eclipse is also falling on the same day as the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere – a rare occurrence that hasn't happened in 372 years. On the other hand, New York, Philadelphia, Miami and Dallas should enjoy mainly cloud-free conditions.ĭuring tonight's lunar eclipse, the Earth will align between the full moon and the sun, covering the lunar surface in shadow. For cities such Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver and Boston, the total lunar eclipse will likely be totally eclipsed by clouds. It appears that for about half the country, the local weather will unfortunately not cooperate for a view of tonight's big moon show. ![]()
