We're counting down the days until the solar eclipse's path of totality is over Oklahoma on Monday.| WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW | Solar Eclipse in Oklahoma: Everything to know, where to see it and how to view itAs you prepare for the event, KOCO 5 Meteorologist Jonathan Conder shows you the timeline for when the partial eclipse begins, when the eclipse is at its peak and when the partial eclipse ends. The path of totality will be over southeastern Oklahoma, but other areas of the state, such as the OKC metro, will see a 90% eclipse.In the path of totality, day will briefly turn into night as the moon casts a shadow on the Earth.For this timing, we're using Idabel near Beaver's Bend and Broken Bow, which is where the path of totality is supposed to be.If there's clear skies – there's a chance for cloud coverage on Monday – the partial eclipse will start at 12:28 p.m. on Monday. During that time, the moon will cover more and more of the sun until it passes in front of the sun.Maximum totality is scheduled for 1:47 p.m., with the total eclipse being from 1:45 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Jonathan says it's going to get dark out like dusk or dawn – or even nighttime – and will last longer because the moon is closer to Earth than it was during the 2017 solar eclipse.After 1:50 p.m., there'll be another partial eclipse as the moon moves past the sun. Jonathan says the partial eclipse will end by 3:07 p.m., and it'll happen really fast as the moon's shadow is moving at over 1,000 mph.
