Today's the day! While we in Florida won't see the total solar eclipse- the first in the lower 48 states since 1979- a partial eclipse will be visible to everyone. The eclipse will peak in the St. Petersburg area around 2:49pm when the moon obscures about 80% of the sun. Check out our latest blog post for a list of local places to watch with your family.
