Albany, NY – Residents across Albany and surrounding areas may face challenges in viewing tonight’s highly anticipated supermoon and partial lunar eclipse due to cloud cover. The celestial event begins at 8:41 p.m. Tuesday night and peaks early Wednesday morning at 12:47 a.m. Weather forecasts indicate that clouds will likely block the view in Albany, with similar conditions expected in Glens Falls and Poughkeepsie.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday evening will be partly cloudy in Albany with temperatures dropping to 53°F overnight. Glens Falls and Poughkeepsie are expected to experience similar cloudy conditions, which may obscure the supermoon and partial eclipse. However, for those lucky enough to get a break in the clouds, the supermoon will appear larger and brighter than usual.
For anyone hoping to catch a glimpse, it is recommended to monitor local weather updates throughout the evening. Wednesday’s forecast brings more sunshine and mild conditions, with highs reaching 82°F, though tonight’s cloudy skies could remain an obstacle for star-gazers.
Residents are advised to plan outdoor viewing early and check real-time weather conditions to maximize their chances of catching the eclipse.
