New York, NY – A stretch of dry weather in New York is expected to end by Wednesday, with scattered showers developing in the afternoon. However, tonight will offer a rare celestial event—a partial lunar eclipse beginning at 8:41 PM EST, visible alongside a harvest moon and supermoon.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds and potential showers could interfere with viewing conditions for tonight’s eclipse, which will conclude around 12:47 AM EST Wednesday. Rainfall is expected to be light but may obscure the supermoon for some areas, particularly across Central Park and nearby locations.
Meteorologists predict the city’s first significant rain in days will move in mid-Wednesday, breaking the dry spell that has persisted since early September. While Wednesday’s precipitation is not expected to cause major disruptions, residents are advised to carry umbrellas during the afternoon commute. For those hoping to catch a glimpse of the lunar event, the best chance for clear skies will be earlier in the evening before cloud cover increases. Keep an eye on the forecast for updates.
