Lunar eclipse in Seattle gets cloudy weather outlook
The Seattle Times • • general
Key Points:
- Seattle is experiencing overcast skies as summer ends, which may hinder viewing of the near-total lunar eclipse occurring around 9 p.m. today, with 96.3% of the moon expected to be covered by Earth's shadow.
- Scattered clouds will fill in during the morning, leading to overcast conditions until about 7 p.m., after which some breaks in the clouds may allow partial viewing of the eclipse, though visibility is uncertain.
- The eastern side of Washington will have high clouds that thin out by nighttime, providing better chances to see the eclipse; a trip over the mountains is recommended for clearer skies.
- Temperatures in Seattle will be slightly below normal, with highs around 72°F, followed by cooler weather and a chance of showers starting Saturday due to an approaching upper-level trough.
