TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Monday is the day for the highly anticipated Solar Eclipse 2024!
In the Big Bend and South Georgia, we are not located under the path of totality, so we will see a partial eclipse.
Around 70% of the sun will be covered by the moon Monday afternoon.
You will want to use your specialized glasses to view the eclipse as it progresses.
Here are some ways you can view in your neighborhood:
Tallahassee
Valdosta
As far as cloud cover goes- Monday will bring a mix of sun and clouds for our area.
This means the sunlight will be filtered throughout the day. While some upper level thin clouds can still mean okay viewing through specialized glasses, some mid level clouds cloud block your eclipse view.
Fingers crossed for a clearing for us just in time for the peak coverage time at 3:00 PM when the moon will cover about 70% of the sun for our neighborhoods.
