According to AccuWeather, if you plan on watching the solar eclipse, the odds of being able to see it in the Pittsburgh area are pretty high.
Clouds will be around but there will be a pretty high chance that you’ll get to see the eclipse (safely with special glasses), at least in part.
Partly sunny skies are forecast for when the max coverage of the eclipse happens in Pittsburgh around 3:17 p.m., but depending on where you are, there could be clouds blocking your view for a few moments or minutes.
The temperature will drop during the peak of the eclipse.
The eclipse began around 2 in Pittsburgh and will end at 4:30 p.m.
The Pittsburgh area will experience 97 percent totality, where places north like Erie will experience the full totality of the solar eclipse.
Many people decided to head north to get a better view of the eclipse, but if you’re thinking about it, it’s too late.
Heavy traffic was reported in sport around Cranberry, in areas, through Meadville.
The next solar eclipse doesn’t come to the United States until 2044 and will not be seen in Pittsburgh.
The next total eclipse the Pittsburgh area will experience won’t be until 2144, so go out and see it (safely) if you can.
