(Salem) — The first total solar eclipse visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8, 1918 first appears over Oregon on August 21st 2017.

Beginning between Lincoln City and Newport at about 10:15 a.m. PDT and exiting the state at 10:27 a.m near Ontario.

An acurate weather forcast for the day should not be counted on yet but so far it looks fairly good. Mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s in the Salem area.

The entire viewing path in Oregon is expected to be similar to the Salem area forcast.
