Meteorologists predict largely cooperative conditions across South Florida on Thursday evening as skywatchers prepare to observe a partial lunar eclipse. Partly cloudy skies will prevail over Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with only isolated showers possible as the celestial event commences after 9 p.m.
The eclipse will reach its maximum intensity at 12:12 a.m. Friday morning, when 96 percent of the lunar surface passes through Earth’s shadow. During this period, observers may witness the moon adopting a distinctive reddish coloration, a phenomenon caused by sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere.
Friday’s forecast calls for abundant sunshine interrupted by scattered cloud cover and light winds from the east-southeast. Morning showers remain possible in isolated locations, while afternoon hours may bring scattered thunderstorms confined primarily to inland regions.
Heat will remain the dominant weather story, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s and heat index values potentially exceeding 100 degrees on Friday afternoon.
