The FOX Forecast Center said because of a sweeping cold front and subsequent ridge of high pressure, most of the country will have clear skies and visibilities that should be good for seeing the moon.
An area of the country that may have visibility issues will be the Desert Southwest, where an unusually strong monsoon season continues to impact the region with clouds and rain. Some clouds and showers will also spread into western Texas and Oklahoma on Monday evening.
A few showers are roaming around the Northeast, while Florida will also see a return to scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday. A weak front in the Pacific Northwest will also keep some clouds around.
