Cloudy conditions will make it difficult to see the solar eclipse in Louisiana today. LSU Planetary Astrophysicist Dr. Natalie Hinkel says it’s worth stepping outside to see how the moon blocking the sun affects the Earth. And it’s not just animals that react to a total solar eclipse, Hinkel says the weather is also impacted.
Ophthalmologists remind you to never look directly at the eclipse, even a partial view of one without proper eclipse glasses.
And forecasters say the probability of viewing the eclipse isn’t ideal in Louisiana thanks to cloud cover. LSU Climatologist Barry Keim says conditions are very unstable right now, with a front to our north and west. Hopefully when the eclipse gets as close to totality, around 1:45, there will be a little break in the clouds.
