The full moon means high, high and low, low tides today. Forecasters say South Coast residents also can expect some clouds tonight. That might make it hard for those hoping to see the total eclipse of the moon tonight. The eclipse starts at 7 p.m. and moonrise here begins at 6:58 p.m., according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. Here’s the extended South Coast forecast.
