Lunar Eclipse Visible on Central Coast Saturday Morning

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The last total lunar eclipse of the year is Saturday. And there won't be another one for three years.

Viewers in the western half of the United States will have the best views Saturday in the hours before dawn, the farther west the better.

On the Central Coast the eclipse will begin around 4:40 a.m. Saturday and will reach totality around 6 a.m. Totality will last 50 minutes, until shortly before moonset.

The National Weather Service is predicting clear skies in the early hours of Saturday.

The observatory deck at Chabot Space and Science Center in the Oakland Hills will be open from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. for free eclipse watching.

The scene from the Pacific -- Australia and parts of Asia -- will be prime.

Fast Moving Front Drives in Rain, Gusty Winds and Cool Air

Submitted by Tamara Berg, Central Coast News
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011, 11:33am

The cold front has passed through the Central Coast and will continue to move Southeast. The front drove heavy to moderate rain into our area overnight. We picked up between .50" - 2.00" of rainfall. The storm also produced gusty Southerly winds and some localized flooding. We are starting to dry out, with the exception of a few leftover showers this morning. Temperatures will be very cool today. Inland areas will top out in the low to mid 60's. Coastal highs will top out in the low 60's.

Another batch of energy is digging in behind the front. This will swing through late in the afternoon. It will sock us with another round of cold air. This will be enough to produce instability and create thunderstorms later today. Most of the storm activity would be in Monterey and San Benito Counties. Lightning, heavy rain and hail may accompany these stroms.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for inland portions of Monterey County for today and tomorrow. The Monterey County Health Department would like to remind you that the best defense against heat related illness is prevention. 

 

Even short periods of hot temperatures can cause health problems.  Overexertion on a hot day, staying too long out in the sun or spending too much time in an over-heated space can all lead to heat related problems.  Monterey County Health Department’s Health Officer, Dr. Hugh Stallworth would like to remind individuals to “drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, use sunscreen of at least a SPF of 15 and never to leave any person or pet in a closed, parked vehicle.”
