For metro Detroit, the solar eclipse will begin around 1:03 p.m. when the moon touches the sun's edge. It's expected to be partly sunny with high clouds.
The maximum eclipse will happen at 2:27 p.m. when the moon is closed to the center of the sun. The weather will be partly sunny, hot and humid.
It will all come to an end at 3:47 p.m. when the moon leaves the sun's edge. By then, there will be more clouds, spotty showers and an isolated storm possible.
In all, the entire eclipse will last just over an hour and a half. Detroit will see about 78.4 percent of the sun obscured by the moon.
