Warmer and cloudier weather for partial solar eclipse

Clouds are moving into New Mexico this morning, and we will see partly to mostly cloudy skies all day. If you are hoping to view the partial solar eclipse, it is not a full on bust, but clouds will create less than perfect viewing conditions. The maximum eclipse will be around 12:30 PM in New Mexico, and you will need to view it with solar eclipse glasses and pinhole projectors in order to see the shadow of the moon in front of the sun. There will be slight dimming of the sky, but the sky will not become dark.
