The Lunar Eclipse early Friday morning should be viewable in most areas. More on that below.
Morning Surface Weather
This morning is relatively mild with an area of thick fog in northeastern Maryland. But warmer air is streaming in, and we will get up to the 70s in many areas today.

What to wear?
This morning a jacket, this afternoon a T-shirt, then umbrella or rain coat this evening. If you have after school sports, the rain may reach you, especially west of Baltimore.
