Wilmington, OH — Southeastern Ohio may experience showers today due to weakening low pressure, with clouds thickening in the afternoon. The temperature will drop by a few degrees, offering cooler weather compared to recent days. However, the cloud coverage could interfere with a special astronomical event.
According to the National Weather Service, a partial lunar eclipse will occur tonight starting at 8:41 p.m. Eastern, coinciding with a supermoon. The eclipse is expected to finish early Wednesday morning around 12:47 a.m. However, the thickening clouds in southeastern Ohio, especially around Portsmouth, may block visibility of the event.
Forecasts for Wilmington show temperatures reaching a high of 82°F today, with a 50% chance of rain in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation increases later tonight, with showers persisting into Wednesday. For those hoping to catch a glimpse of the supermoon, it is advised to monitor local cloud conditions closely and consider alternative viewing spots where skies may be clearer.
Stay updated on local weather conditions to determine if the skies will clear up for a better view of tonight’s partial lunar eclipse.
