Will I See The Total Solar Eclipse In Lake Forest, Lake Bluff?
Excitement is building for the solar eclipse April 8 in the Lake Forest area, where we'll experience 92 percent partiality. The April 8 total solar eclipse will occur in Lake Forest, Illinois, and Lake Bluff, IL, on April 8. The path of totality will extend from Texas to Maine, but each of the 48 continental states will see some of the solar eclipse. The total eclipse will cover about 92.3 percent of the sun at the peak of the eclipse, according to a NASA map. Several eclipse festivals are being held within the 128-mile path of total eclipse, including a free outdoor Eclipse Encounter '24 event at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. Early weather forecasts for the eclipse in the Lake Forest area are partly cloudy conditions with a chance of showers and temperatures in the 50s.

LAKE FOREST, IL — Excitement is building in Lake Forest for the April 8 total solar eclipse. We’re not among some 32 million Americans living in the path of totality, but neither will we miss out on the celestial sensation.
In the United States, the path of totality extends from Texas to Maine, but each of the 48 continental states will see some of the solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon slips between our bright star and Earth. In Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, the moon will cover about 92.3 percent of the sun at the peak of the eclipse, according to a NASA map that is searchable by ZIP code. Here are the details:
Partial eclipse begins: 12:51 p.m.
Near-Totality begins: 1:33 p.m.
Maximum: 2:07 p.m.
Near-Totality ends: 2:41 p.m.
Partial ends: 3:21 p.m.
The early weather forecasts for the April 8 eclipse in the Lake Forest area call for partly cloudy conditions with a chance of some showers and temperatures in the 50s. Too much cloud cover can obscure the view.
