The moon will be undergoing an eclipse later this week, with the southeast perfectly positioned to see the cosmic event. Unfortunately, the current forecast from Environment Canada is showing that the area will be seeing heavy cloud cover during the time that's supposed to happen.
That's expected to be best seen in the early morning hours, though with the heavy cloud cover there's no good time to catch the event.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Natalie Hasell says that it'll be widespread through the southeast so no area is likely to have a good view.
"We have a number of areas where not only do we expect clouds, but we also expect precipitation. So clearly not expecting to see a whole lot in that circumstance anywhere during this time period."
The closest clear area is Nebraska, which is a pretty far destination for any potential moon watchers.
That system is expected to be heavy throughout the prairies, with a number of locales looking at potentially heavy snowfall.
For the southeast, Hasell predicts that we'll miss the worst of the water-dense snow likely to fall.
"While we are expecting you to get snow, it doesn't look like it's going to be a significant amount where you are. The areas that are more of a concern are through central and slightly northern Saskatchewan, where they're expecting by Prince Albert 5 to 10, by La Ronge we're expecting 15 to 25 centimeters of snow. For most of southern Saskatchewan, we're really not expecting a huge amount with the system."
