The March 2025 total lunar eclipse brought a "Blood Moon" overnight, but it was too cloudy to see over NYC, Long Island and N.J.

The first of two lunar eclipses this year, and the only one visible in the U.S., is taking place early Friday morning. So if you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the blood moon, you’ll need to set your alarm extra early.

With predicted highs around 55 and 68 degrees on Thursday and Friday, respectively, viewers won't be unbearably cold. Normal low temperatures in western New York - which will be far closer to what the air temperatures at the time of the eclipse - are also unseasonably mild.
