A lunar eclipse will take place in the early hours on Tuesday March 3rd. The eclipse will begin around 2:50 MST, the moon will be completely covered by the earth's shadow (giving it a rusty red color) from 4:04 to 5:05 AM MST. The eclipse will end around 6:17 AM MST. The forecast is calling for mostly clear skies, so set your alarm a little early for Tuesday and go out and take a look. This will be the last total lunar eclipse until New Year's Eve 2028-2029.
After a toasty start to the week, temperatures will moderate towards normal by next weekend with highs of 70-75 degrees for the lowlands.
