The solar eclipse day forecast for Monday looks mostly sunny, according to the National Weather Service.
The big picture: The D.C. area is a ways from the path of totality, but Washingtonians will see a partial eclipse from 2:04pm to 4:32pm. The greatest coverage: 3:20pm, per a tracking tool from NASA.
- Almost 88% of the sun will be covered by the moon's shadow.
- It's nothing compared to totality, Axios' Andrew Freedman tells us, but we'll see darker skies.
Zoom out: Millions of people with eclipse fever are planning to travel to areas with the best views, and businesses are cashing in on the hype, writes Axios' Jacob Knutson.
