There’s a total lunar eclipse Tuesday morning, but fog may prevent you from seeing it

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — That warm, sticky air we had for the Astros victory parade will stick around for Election Day, and that means another round of dense fog is possible Tuesday morning.

The clouds and fog could obscure your view of Houston’s last total lunar eclipse until March 2025. The total eclipse phase starts at 4:16 a.m. and ends at 5:41 a.m. That’s when the moon will take on the dark red hue commonly referred to as a “blood moon.” The maximum eclipse occurs right around 5 a.m.

Temperatures will be in the mid 60s around sunrise. Once the fog burns off a few hours after sunrise, we’re in for a mostly sunny afternoon with highs in the mid 80s. While we can’t rule out an isolated shower, it should stay dry for most on Election Day.

How long does this warm, humid air stick around?

It will remain over Houston until our next cold front arrives Friday morning for Veterans Day.

What can we expect from the cold front on Veterans Day?

This front should pass through mostly dry, but it will usher in a period of sweater weather that will last through most of next week. Disturbances blowing over the top of the cold air will also bring extensive clouds and rain chances for several days beginning on Friday. Lows will be in the 40s and 50s with highs in the 60s.
