We can hear the superstitious locking their doors and closing the blinds. This week brings a full moon to begin Friday the 13th.

This month's full moon rises Thursday, June 12, and will light the night, weather-depending, in the wee hours of Friday, June 13.

But this moon is nothing to be scared of. In fact, we think it sounds a little sweet: the honey moon.

As weather.com's Matt Sampson explains in this video, one reason this celestial event got its nickname in the 1550s was due to the large amount of weddings held in June around this lunar cycle.

The nickname also represents the amber – or honey – color of this month's full moon.

The weather overnight Thursday will generally have a chance of showers throughout the South and Northeast, while clear skies are possible in the northern tier and West.
