For those wanting to see the supermoon tonight, there is some hope that you still may be able to. Winds through the day will try to push all of the haze out of our area. The bad news is that clouds are expected to build in. Depending how quickly the clouds move in, there may be a little period of time to get a good glimpse of the moon.
This hi-res satellite photo shows the haze that set in today.
Special Weather Statement issued this afternoon by NWS-Nashville:
