Attention sky watchers!
Tomorrow morning, June 26th, there’s going to be a lunar eclipse—and for many residents of the USA, it’s going to be a big one.
The eclipse begins at 3:17 am PDT when the Moon enters the sunset-colored shadow of Earth. By 4:38 am PDT, the moment of greatest eclipse, 54% of the Moon’s diameter will be covered. From beginning to end, the event lasts almost three hours. Find a place where you can see the Eastern horizon and enjoy the show.

The jet stream will be sending waves of alternating weak high pressure and low pressure over the weekend through next week. The result will be a continuation of the unsettled weather pattern that will be a roller coaster from some clouds with a slight chance of drizzle to more sun and dry and back again.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
