Hot, humid, windy...Eclipse of the Moon
Comment received from: "Robert"
There was quite a bit more wind yesterday than I had expected and today’s weather will be much like yesterday. Partly cloudy, hot, humid and windy with a less than 10 percent chance of isolated showers.
Later into the weekend the remnants of the front that I had mentioned a couple of posts ago will finally be affecting mainly the eastern sections of the area with an upped chance of showers and storms. Looking at satellite loops this morning I can see an upper level low traversing the northern Gulf of Mexico. It may make next week a bit more unsettled for us, and give the area a better shot at some rain. As much rain as we have had it is now time for some more. At least my yard says so!
A total lunar eclipse of the full moon will happen on the morning of Tuesday the 28th and be visible here in north Texas. The total eclipse will begin at 4:52am and last until 6:22am. Be sure and take a look if you’re up and we don’t have any morning clouds to deal with. During lunar eclipses the Moon can become very colorful taking on a bright orange, blood red or dark brown appearance. I’ll keep you updated on the weather as the event approaches.
