Here’s the Bay Area cloud forecast
Key Points:
- A near-total lunar eclipse is expected tonight, with the moon turning red again, visible in the Bay Area.
- However, a surge of thick cloud cover moving up the California coast is likely to obstruct eclipse viewing for much of the region.
- Forecasts indicate thinner high clouds over the North Bay, which may allow some sky breaks, while thicker mid-level clouds will cover the rest of the Bay Area.
