Here's the latest Bay Area weather forecast for tonight's total lunar eclipse The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible from the Bay Area doesn't occur until 2029.

If you're trying to catch tonight's eclipse from the Bay Area, head to the hilltops. Fog is likely to form along the bay shoreline and Pacific coastline, which could fully obscure visibility of the celestial event.
