WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Tonight with the clear skies we will be able to see the lowest full moon in nearly two decades. Tonight’s full moon will be low on the southern horizon due to an phenomenon known as a major lunar standstill. A June full moon is called a Strawberry Moon because it was named by the Algonquian, the time they would pick their strawberries. The full moon occurs at 2:44 AM CT, but it will appear completely lit when it rises above the southeastern horizon just after sunset.
The moon will appear larger at moonrise along the horizon and could also likely take on a yellow-orange-reddish hue, because Earth’s atmosphere scatters shorter blue wavelengths of the sun’s reflected light. Also expect really nice weather through Thursday. Rain and storms chances will return on Friday and last into our Father’s Day Weekend. Catch the full forecast right here.
