Prince George is in the path of the annular solar eclipse on Saturday (Oct. 14) morning but the forecast is calling for clouds.
The moon will begin covering the sun at 8:13 a.m. and reach its maximum of 70.6 per cent coverage at 9:22 a.m., with the moon disappearing from in front of the sun at 10:37 a.m., according to the TimeAndDate website.
Environment Canada is predicting the clouds to roll in tonight (Oct. 13) and keep the city blanketed until Saturday afternoon. According to TimeAndDate, Oct. 14 has been a cloudy day in Prince George 74 percent of the time since 2000.
Even through the clouds, the only safe way to view the eclipse without damaging your eyes is through special lenses (much stronger than sunglasses), solar filters or special eclipse glasses.
