(AP Photo/Rick Rycroft) Forecasters say there is a good chance today that the St. Louis area will be cloudy late this afternoon, obscuring the view of a partial solar eclipse. This partial solar eclipse, when the moon blocks the view of part of the sun, is set to begin at 4:42 p.m. Thursday, St. Louis time. Experts say it is never safe to look at a partial eclipse with the naked eye. According to NASA guidelines on how to watch it safely, people should use proper equipment and techniques.
