It is the season for clouds in Western Washington, and forecasts point to a likely overcast Saturday morning, blocking viewing of the partial annular solar eclipse in Western Washington.
As of Wednesday evening, cloud cover is expected to be at 80% or greater around Puget Sound, though less cloud cover east of the Cascades could provide a better chance of viewing.
In an annular solar eclipse, the moon is farther away from the Earth when it moves between the Earth and the sun, thus not blocking the entire sun’s surface.Instead, in areas in “totality” where a maximum amount of the sun’s disk is obscured, the result would be a “ring of fire” where the moon is surrounded by a very bright ring of complete sunlight.
