Only an average of 2.44 maybe three lunar eclipses a year, with total eclipses once in every 1.43 years, and it just happens to be the one day this week we'll see clouds and precip, figures.
Tuesday at 3:46AM Eastern (7:46 UTC) a total lunar eclipse will occur (lasting almost 2 hours in each direction), and this will be the weather for that time:

For the NY metro area, a chance of showers starts mainly around 2AM and continues for 24 hours, and as you can see from the model above it's basically a complete mess East of the Mississippi river.
Here's where the eclipse will pass over, with the brightest red seeing the eclipse from start to end (pending good weather), and the lesser shades seeing it until/after moonrise/set respectively (see http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2014-april-15 for details)

Once this passes, the next total eclipse we'll get to see will be on October 8th, but we'll be in the partial viewing zone only seeing it for under an hour. The best we can hope for tomorrow overnight is that there's some breaks in clouds for us to get a good glimpse of the event.
