We are now less than 24 hours away from the start of the Great North American Eclipse over our area!

While it will be mostly cloudy, momentarily breaks in the clouds should provide direct glimpses, so keep your Eclipse Glasses handy!

As we prepared for Monday’s Solar Eclipse, a reminder it’s never safe to look directly at the Sun without ISO-Certified Eclipse Glasses!
