Other weather headlines
Partial lunar eclipse
- Lunar eclipse overnight tonight. It starts at 1:02am, is maximized at 4:02 a.m., and ends at 7:03 a.m. (Times for the airport in Romulus)
- While the moon won’t be 100% covered in the Earth’s shadow, it’ll be 97%., so it should look pretty red.
- FORECAST: Still thinking we’ll see enough clearing to see this as clouds should be breaking in time, but can’t rule out a few clouds here and there.
Normal low at 32 degrees
- Saturday the normal low temperature is back to 32 degrees.
- This number continues to go down through late January.
