Areas in Southwestern and Southcentral PA will see near and above 80% blockage. Northeastern PA will see the least amount of sun blockage. Check out this video for many more details including timing and city-by-city blockage percentages.

The best time to view the eclipse will be at 2:42 PM. We highly recommend using protective glasses, which can be found on several websites for cheap. Share this using the icons below.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
