NEW YORK (PIX11) – New Yorkers hoping to see Manhattanhenge on Wednesday may not have the chance to due to cloudy skies and showers.
Rain is expected to start coming down early Wednesday evening, according to PIX11 meteorologists.
Manhattanhenge is when the sun perfectly aligns with the city grid as it sets, according to the American Museum of Natural History. Anyone with doubts about the weather can try to see the half-sun phenomenon at 8:13 p.m.
The American Museum of Natural History recommends 14th Street, 23rd Street, 34th Street, 42nd Street, 57th Street, the Tudor City Overpass and Hunter's Point South Park as the best places to view Manhattanhenge.
Spectators can try again on Thursday, when the full-sun Manhattanhenge is expected. A partial clearing of showers is possible by the afternoon, according to PIX11 meteorologists.
