Around Boston we get our best view tonight, just before full. Clear night tonight, but cloudy tomorrow.
It still should be spectacular.

I'm hoping for a moonrise over mountain view tonight, though it's often cloudy/hazy to the east where I'm currently at. Last night's Moon was big & ruddy as it rose…

So far, fully overcast ...

We're having pretty clear skies over Northern California, with perhaps a little humidity and haze. I think the moon isn't 100.0% full yet but here's what it looks like as of early this evening.

Yup. That looks a lot like the moon I saw this evening.

The sky here (Island of Hawai'i) was cloudy all afternoon and early evening, so I gave up on the moon around 5:30pm and headed off to dinner. But surprisingly and wonderfully the eastern sky cleared for a good half hour and I was able to watch the moon rise over the mountain as I ate outside. A gorgeous sight! I did take a pretty crappy iPhone pic too but I won't inflict it on y'all.
