Little Rock, AR – Arkansas skies are set to host a rare lunar event tonight, offering residents the chance to view a supermoon and partial lunar eclipse. The event starts at 8:41 p.m., with the eclipse lasting until early Wednesday morning. However, visibility could be impacted by local weather, as cloud cover will vary across the state.
According to the National Weather Service, the central and northern parts of the state, including Little Rock and Jonesboro, may experience up to 6% cloud cover tonight, offering relatively clear conditions for optimal viewing. Residents should use this opportunity to catch the supermoon, which will appear larger due to its proximity to Earth.
This morning, drivers across northern Arkansas will face another weather hazard. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 a.m., with visibility reduced to less than a quarter mile in areas like Harrison and Fayetteville. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously, using low-beam headlights and allowing extra time for their commute.
Be sure to check your local forecast before heading out to view tonight’s lunar spectacle or to stay safe on the roads.
