Everything You Need to Know About the Eclipse

NASA

We are less than a week away from the total solar eclipse and you may be wondering what some of the safe options are to view the eclipse.  It's best to view the eclipse, and safest too, with eclipse glasses.  But those may be hard to come by as many locations that sold the glasses, are now sold out.


 NASA has put together wonderful information about what exactly an eclipse is, how to safely view an eclipse, how often it occurs and what to expect during the eclipse.  You can find all the information, including a detailed map of how much the sun will be obscured in your location, clicking here.


Of course the eclipse will only be visible if the weather cooperates.  And looking out to next Monday, as of Tuesday afternoon, another storm system may be in the developing stages over the Plains late Sunday and early Monday.  This could bring a little more cloud cover into the Midwest during the afternoon and evening, along with a chance for rain/thunder by the evening.  This may be one forecast we are actually rooting for to change!  Stay tuned.
