Tuesday's rare eclipse will be visible to all of North America, at leastpotentially. After all, viewing the moon would be weather dependent.The Southeast will enjoy the best viewing conditions. Clear skies should alsograce sky-gazers along the Interstate-95 corridor from Washington, D.C., toPhiladelphia to New York City.
A snowstorm swinging back into New England will likely ruin the show forresidents in Boston. Those from Fargo to Minneapolis to Chicago to Cincinnatiwill also be disappointed, due to another snowstorm.
A pair of storms will make it nearly impossible for residents across thewestern-third of the nation to view the eclipse.
Those in the central and southern Plains should be able to catch at least aglimpse of the eclipse underneath a partly cloudy sky.
Where clear skies do prevail, AccuWeather.com Meteorologist and AstronomyExpert Lisa Beightol stated, "The moon won't be hard to find before the eclipsesince it's full as of 3:13 a.m. that morning."As an added treat to star-gazers, Beightol issued a reminder that the Ursidmeteor shower follows Wednesday morning.
