NYC could end up being a good place to see the solar eclipse

NYC could end up being a good place to see the solar eclipse

Shawdesh Desk:

The total solar eclipse on April 8 is expected to by fully visible in areas of upstate New York, but a long term forecast showing clearer skies in New York City might make staying in the Big Apple a good option for the spectacle.

Although the full show should be visible in areas like Buffalo and the Adirondacks, extended forecasts showing clouds could dampen the experience in upstate regions, especially near the Great Lakes, Fox Weather meteorologist Dax Clark explained.

Although it’s far too early for a fully accurate a forecast, the city is shaping up to have partly cloudy to clear skies during the event — which will not be viewable through overcast skies upstate.

“Here in New York [City], it’s looking like a few clouds are possible, but overall pretty decent … We’re thinking it could be a little more cloudy up this way,” Clark said Tuesday.

“But again, keep in mind in New York [City], even though it’s 90%, you might think ‘oh, I can look right at the sun,’ but you can’t. You have to have glasses to view it in the city either way, and it’s not going to turn dark here,” said Clark.

The phases of the eclipse will begin to be visible from the city at 2:10 p.m. on Monday before reaching 91% totality at 3:25 p.m.
