Eclipse viewing under cloud cover
Lexington, KY – Predicted partly cloudy skies this evening may pose a challenge for sky-watchers hoping to catch a glimpse of the upcoming eclipse this Monday, according to recent weather predictions by Ben Beddoes. Ben Beddoes’ forecast for tonight’s weather shows a mild temperature range in the 60s, albeit with increasing cloud cover expected as the evening progresses.
Closer to midnight, scattered showers are likely to arrive and persist throughout the overnight hours, plummeting the temperature lows to the low to mid 50s.
Monday is expected to dawn with cloudy skies and a scattering of showers early in the morning. The day is predicted to remain mostly cloudy with a slight possibility of stray showers, a weather pattern that may impact Eclipse spectators.
While the cloud cover may potentially inhibit eclipse viewing, weather updates suggest that some clearing could occur, providing a possible window for viewing the much-anticipated spectacle. To increase odds of catching the eclipse, it is recommended that observers move north and west, where weather conditions may be more favorable.
Overall, Monday promises to be a warm day with highs in the low to mid 70s. The evening will likely see the commencement of partly cloudy skies with temperatures lingering in the 70s.
Prognoses for the rest of the week predict a predominantly wet weather pattern. Tuesday is set to star under cloudy skies, with periods of rain throughout the day. Conditions will be breezy with highs in the low to mid 60s.
Similar weather patterns are anticipated for Wednesday and Thursday, with consistent periods of rain. The temperature highs are likely to fluctuate between the mid to upper 60s, with lows around the 50s – 60s. Thursday may witness a few rumbles of thunder amidst the scattered showers.
By Friday morning, scattered showers are expected to subside, leading to a drier afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Expected winds could gust between 25-35 mph, providing a notably cooler day with temperature highs in the mid to upper 50s, and lows in the low to mid 40s, finally cutting down on the persistent rain showers.
