Although I can’t rule out some cirrus clouds getting in the way, it is looking likely that there will be mostly clear to clear skies in the predawn hours Wednesday. The lunar eclipse will begin about 3:30 AM Wednesday and be in totality from about 4:25-5:25 AM.

The remnants of the Pacific’s Hurricane Simon had been expected to bring rain to southern Colorado Thursday and/or Friday. Now it’s looking more likely that the rain will affect most of the state. Prepare for wet weather as early as Thursday, but more likely Thursday night into Friday, with snow levels staying above treeline. There is the possibility of a soaking rain for the Denver-Boulder area.
