Total Lunar Eclipse, Blood Worm Moon: When to see it, visibility map, Florida weather forecast
ORLANDO, Fla. - Americans will have to stay up late or get up really early this week to see the latest celestial event – a total lunar eclipse. The Sun, Earth, and Blood Moon will align on Thursday night and Friday morning. According to NASA, the entire United States of America, Central America, South America and many of the Caribbean Islands will be able to see the complete event. It's the first time in three years that the event will be visible to all 50 states, according to FOX Weather. If you are in Florida, will you be able to see the total lunar eclipse and "blood moon?" Here's where to look, when to look, and what to expect. Timeline The total lunar eclipse will begin on Thursday night, March 13, and end during the overnight hours on Friday, March 14, 2025. 11:57 p.m. - The Moon enters the Earth's penumbra, or the outer part of the Earth's shadow. The Moon will appear dim, but will still be visible. 1:09 a.m. (partial eclipse) - The partial lunar eclipse begins as the Moon begins to enter Earth's umbra. "To the naked eye, as the Moon moves into the umbra, it looks like a bite is being taken out of the lunar disk," NASA said. 2:26 a.m. (Total Lunar Eclipse) - Called "totality," this is the moment of the total lunar eclipse. The Moon is completely in the Earth's shadow and will appear red-ish or copper-ish. 3:31 a.m. (totality ends) - The Moon will exit the Earth's shadow, the red color will fade away, and it will look like "a bite is being taken out of the opposite side of the lunar disk" 4:47 a.m. (partial eclipse ends) - The Moon is in Earth's penumbra, but the dimness is subtle. 6 a.m. - The eclipse event is over. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon. In a lunar eclipse, the Moon falls within the Earth's shadow. This is called the umbra. When the Moon is within the umbra, it appears to be a reddish-orange color. There are two types of lunar eclipse events: A patrial lunar eclipse happens when the darkest part of Earth's shadow covers a fraction of the moon, so the Moon still looks red, but the color is very faint. During a Total Lunar Eclipse, the darkest part of the Earth's shadow covers the entire surface of the moon, turning it a deep orange-red color. It is often called a "Blood Moon" because of this phenomenon. Yes! The entire United States will be able to see the entire event. But, will the clouds allow you to see it? Yes. Clear skies are in the forecast across Central Florida. Temperatures will dip into the upper 40s and lower 50s at night. There is a chance of some fog along I-75, so if you're driving during the overnight hours, use extra caution there. What they're saying "During a lunar eclipse, the Moon appears red or orange because any sunlight that's not blocked by our planet is filtered through a thick slice of Earth's atmosphere on its way to the lunar surface. It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon" - NASA According to NASA, Jupiter and Mars will also be visible in the western part of the sky. Mars will appear reddish, of course, while Jupiter will appear like a very bright, white star. NASA also reported that at the beginning of the eclipse, the moon will be in the constellation "Leo," behind the lion's back paw. At the end of the constellation, it will cross into Virgo, another constellation.

Eyewitness Weather for March 13 — Beautiful end to the week, but storms on the way
HERE IS YOUR EYEWITNESS WEATHER FORECAST FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 13 FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JORDAN REED: It's going to be a beautiful end to the week with warm temperatures and dry conditions sticking around through Saturday! However, a strong storm system moves in on Sunday, bringing heavy rain and even the chance for some thunderstorms. Clouds will decrease tonight, which will let temperatures drop lower than expected, dipping to around 31 degrees or so. However, the timing of the clearing skies will coincide with both the International Space Station flyover at 8:39 PM tonight as well as the Total Lunar Eclipse at 2:59 AM tomorrow! Some patchy fog might also be around for the overnight. Friday looks fantastic—plenty of sunshine with highs climbing into the upper 50s and lower 60s, and Friday night will stay mild. Saturday starts dry and warm, though a few light, isolated showers could pop up as a warm front will move through. Keep that in mind for the St. Patrick's Day Parade here in Downtown Utica as well as up the Thruway in Downtown Syracuse. Things take a big turn on Sunday when a cold front arrives, bringing multiple rounds of rain, some of which could be heavy. Flash flooding is a concern, especially in areas where there's still snow on the ground, like the North Country. On top of that, gusty winds—potentially reaching 35 to 45 MPH—could become an issue. There's even a small chance of stronger storms with damaging winds, though instability is limited. After the storm clears out late Sunday, Monday brings cooler but quiet weather for St. Patrick's Day itself, with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Temperatures bounce back on Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs climbing well into the 50s and even 60s, possibly nearing 70 in some valleys by midweek. The next chance for rain looks to arrive Wednesday night or Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Look Up! The Northern Lights and Blood Moon Total Eclipse Will Dazzle in the Night Sky Tonight
The northern lights may be visible this evening due to a geomagnetic storm that occurred on Wednesday. Stargazers in Alaska and parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine will have the best chance of viewing the northern lights. Tonight's possible northern lights sighting coincides with the Blood Worm Moon total lunar eclipse, which kicks off just before 12 a.m. in states along the Canadian border may be able to see the northern lights this evening due to a geomagnetic storm that occurred on Wednesday. Even better? This phenomenon could coincide with the Blood Worm Moon total lunar eclipse, which will also happen tonight. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a Kp of four out of nine tonight and tomorrow. Per the the Geophysical Institute, the Kp Index is a numeric scale that describes geomagnetic activity and is computed by averaging the magnetic activity globally every three hours. According to NOAA's forecast map, the aurora borealis is expected to put on a colorful show for stargazers in most of Alaska, as well as parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine. Related: How to See the 'Blood Worm Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse This Week—a Rare Phenomenon You Don't Want to Miss The northern lights are caused by magnetic storms triggered by solar activity, such as a coronal mass ejection (CME). Per NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, particles from these events are carried from the sun by solar wind. When these particles enter Earth's atmosphere, they collide with oxygen and nitrogen particles. As these air particles shed the energy they acquired from the impact, each atom glows a different color. The best chance of seeing the northern lights this evening will be between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. NOAA recommends moving away from light pollution and finding a high vantage point. While looking for the northern lights, also take time to admire the full Blood Moon total lunar eclipse, which begins just before midnight EDT on March 13. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into the darkest part of Earth's shadow. Because Earth can't block the entirety of the sun's bright light, the moon appears to glow red-orange.

'It's something special': WNY will see a total lunar eclipse early Friday morning
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Lunar eclipses are a natural phenomenon that happen once or twice a year, but once in a blue moon (figuratively speaking) you might see a total lunar eclipse. 'It's something special, it's reminding us that we're part of this dance that the Earth, Moon and Sun make to cause the shadows to line up,' said Dr. Kevin Williams, director of the Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium at Buffalo State. 'Being able to view these with our eyes instead of just seeing pictures of them makes that connection between use and the universe. Total lunar eclipse 2025: What to expect on 3/14 Unlike last year's total solar eclipse, you won't need any instruments to view this total lunar eclipse, other than maybe an alarm clock. 'Around 1:10 in the morning, that's when the moon will pass into the main part of Earth's shadow, and that's when you'll start to really see the moon start to get darker, between 2:30 and 3:30 that's when the moon will be entirely in the Earth's main shadow, so that's pretty much the best time to watch it,' said Dr. Williams. 'As we look at the moon we're actually seeing sunlight reflecting off the moon, as apposed to looking directly at the sun like we were last year.' Dr. Williams is the director of the Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium at Buffalo State University, and gave a preview of the Total Lunar Eclipse on Wake Up. At the planetarium, they hold a variety of programs and events for people of all ages to learn more about astronomy and see that the night sky really looks like without light pollution. 'Once we get away from that light pollution, we can see several thousand stars, you can see the Milkyway and again it just reminds us that this is what the night sky looks like if we could get rid of the light pollution,' said Dr. Williams.
