Cloud cover to block your eclipse view?

Solar eclipseThe solar eclipse is happening Monday, April 8, 2024!

We’re five days away from the highly anticipated total solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. from Texas and Arkansas through Ohio to Maine. Cities within the path of totality will want to stay weather-aware to get the best view!

The forecast is becoming clearer for the eclipse’s path of totality. Maybe you’ve been paying close attention to the cloud cover forecasts too. Now is the time to pay close attention to your local viewing forecast to be best prepared to view the eclipse!

The path of totality in the CONUS starts in Texas and ends across northern Maine with a slight arc shape.

Southwest Indiana, northeast Ohio, along lakes Erie and Ontario, and northern Maine

Spots in the path of totality with cloud cover… at this time

Eastern Texas, Arkansas, southeast Missouri, western Kentucky, northern Vermont, and New Hampshire

Although the path of totality is the most popular place to be for the total solar eclipse, – the last one for the CONUS for the next 20 years – cities outside the path of totality will still see at least a partial eclipse.

There are many ways to keep a close eye on the forecast for the eclipse on your Weather & Radar app! The 14-day forecast provides a quick view of the conditions expected including cloud cover! The brighter yellow the icon is, the more sunlight is forecast. If it’s grayer, more clouds are in the forecast.
