Discussion
Solar eclipse day has finally arrived and there will be some clouds around in the Mid-Atlantic region. High pressure over the region will move offshore today and a disturbance will approach from the west giving us the chance for thunderstorms both this afternoon and tonight. Later in the week, Canadian high pressure will arrive with comfortable conditions for this time of year. In the DC-to-Philly-to-New York City corridor, the eclipse will be partial and its duration will be about 2 hours and 40 minutes. The beginning of the solar eclipse in this corridor will be around 1:20 PM (ET), the time of maximum coverage of the sun around 2:45 PM (ET), and the ending time around 4:00 PM (ET). The percentage of totality will be roughly 81% in the DC metro region, 75% in and around Philly, and 72% in and around the NYC metro region. Special solar eclipse glasses must be worn for viewing throughout today’s event.
