St. Louis, MO – Residents of central Missouri should prepare for isolated afternoon showers today, with storms primarily affecting the area. Temperatures will reach highs in the mid-80s, creating a warm and potentially humid day. Tuesday brings clearer skies, just in time for a rare celestial event: the Harvest Supermoon and partial lunar eclipse.
According to the National Weather Service, the eclipse will begin at 8:41 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, with the peak at 10:44 p.m. During this time, the Earth’s shadow will cover up to 8% of the Moon. The event is expected to last until 12:47 a.m. Wednesday, offering prime viewing conditions due to mostly clear skies across Missouri.
Residents are advised to take precautions for today’s storms, especially during the afternoon hours. Drivers should be mindful of slick roads and localized flooding. As skies clear tomorrow, it’s an ideal opportunity to catch the eclipse, weather permitting. Keep an eye on local updates for any changing weather conditions.
