In August of 2017 America went crazy for the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse on US soil since 1918 and it provided a great opportunity for scientists and all sky watchers. What was referred to as “The Great American Solar Eclipse” took place on August 21st, 2017 when the moon passed between the sun and earth. Total solar eclipses occur somewhere on Earth every year or so, but generally cast their shadows over oceans or remote land masses. If you missed the 2017 total solar eclipse or it turned out to be cloudy in your particular area then there will be another opportunity in less than thirty days on Monday, April 8th, 2024. This time the Moon's dark shadow, about 115 miles wide, will cross Mexico, sweep northeast from Texas to Maine, and then darken the Canadian Maritimes.

Accumulations of 1-3 inches are possible later today and tonight, and then another inch or so is possible on Friday. Temperatures will begin to rebound this weekend and highs are likely to be back near the 60 degree mark by Sunday afternoon.

Low pressure pushes away from the area this morning, but the unsettled weather pattern will continue through the upcoming weekend. After a dry day on Friday, the next in a series of low pressure systems will impact the region with more rain on Saturday and Saturday night.

It’ll stay windy and chilly on Monday despite some sunshine, but a warm-up kicks in by the middle of next week.
