BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Clouds increase tonight with lows near 60. Partly sunny Friday with highs in the mid 70s with increasing sunshine. Temperatures near 80 this weekend with plenty of sunshine - perfect weather for Wing Fest in Buffalo at Salen Field.
Here's what makes this special: Earth's shadow will swallow up an incredible 96.3% of the Moon's surface. That means you'll see almost the entire lunar disc fade into that mysterious reddish-brown color as it passes through our planet's umbra—the darkest, most dramatic part of Earth's shadow.
Mark your calendars for Thursday night and keep your fingers crossed that Mother Nature cooperates. With clear skies on the horizon, this could be the perfect opportunity to step outside, look up, and witness one of space's most beautiful natural phenomena right from your backyard.
No special equipment needed—just your eyes and maybe a cozy blanket. The show starts Thursday evening just after 10:30pm as the partial eclipse begins. Maximum occurs at 12:12am and the partial eclipse ends at 1:51am.
