Southeast Texas has a 20% chance of cloud cover along the coast to near Houston. But chances for cloud cover rise to up to 40% north of Houston.

According to NASA, Houston-area residents could begin to see the moon’s transformation around 12:47 a.m. Friday until 3:10 a.m., with the totality of the eclipse occurring between 1:26-2:31 a.m.

Similar to sunsets, the more dust or clouds in Earth's atmosphere during the total lunar eclipse, the redder the moon will appear, according to NASA. "It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon," the space agency said.
