2024 Total Solar Eclipse. April 8 Cloud Cover, past 45 years (1979 - 2023)

April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse - our biggest obstacle will be cloud cover. We could luck out and have a day like we did in 2017- in that case, most people in the path will see it. Or, we could have a day like 2018, where many in the path will be clouded out.
In this video we take a look at total cloud cover on April 8 for the last 45 years - 1979 - 2023, based GOES Satellite Imagery as posted by Tim Schmit -
cimss.ssec.wis...
Notice how much the forecast changes from year-to-year on April 8. Some days were totally clear, some mostly clouded out, some in between. If you're planning to be mobile on eclipse day, think about your contingency plans in the event of a 'less-than-favorable' forecast (south Texas or Ohio??).
'April showers bring May flowers' (and Solar Eclipse sadness). Hence, why this eclipse is called 'The Heartbreaker.'

Meteorologist here too. He missed the part where clouds will starve out near totally if it’s not 100% cloud cover to begin with. This happened in 2017 in many places. The worse case scenario will be if a thick synoptic cutoff low or large frontal system came through right at totally, then it will not be good.

[@anonymoushuman8344]

It's staggering, when you think about it, how the angular diameter of the moon and the angular diameter of the sun in our sky are so nearly the same. I think it signifies that a very powerful, very ancient intelligence wanted to make itself evident to life here when we developed sufficiently to notice this fact. God and/or a finite intelligence that would be godlike from our point if view. It makes me wonder if there is proof of such an intelligence awaiting us on the moon. Like in Kubrick's 2001.

[@MrBloonChip]

​@@anonymoushuman8344I mean, if you think about it. The Sun, the moons, the planets, they are all almost perfect spheres. They all go around the Sun, in the same pattern, never changes, and it's been going on for many centuries. And now, we been seeing things occurring ever since after 2020, from COVID-19, to the increase of conflicts, increase of natural disaster, and many other terrible things. And we're starting to see it move from on this world, to in space itself. From the solar eclipses from 2017, to the 2024 one, once the April 8th one is complete, looking at the paths of each one, they would have made a line marking an X on the United States. And not only that, but there is a comet flying past in the future, and the name of it, is called The Devil's Comet. So obviously all of this is not happening coincidentally, they have a purpose. Because it even says in the Bible, that God uses space as a calendar to mark different times. These times we are in, as of right now, are about to become the end times. So eventually one day, very soon, we will all witness the power of God, and we'll all see him. It's incredible that we are all here, to experience the last days of the physical life. We been working for thousands of years, and finally, we are getting the signs from God, that he will return in human form, again just like when he did 2,000 years ago. But this time, he will take his followers up with him into paradise. All of us today, play a very special role in all of time. We will experience the biggest event in all the history of creation. Everyone will see the truth, sadly for many, it'll be too late for them, and they'll be lost forever. But for some, for the lucky few, they'll get their ticket into paradise. That ticket, being Jesus Christ, our God. Because it's only through Jesus Christ, that anyone ends up in Heaven. No one can biy their way into Heaven, only Christ could, because he paid for us to go their, he paid with his own blood. And the people who refuse eternal life, will be allowed to be separated from eternal life. In a place known as Hell, no one should end up there. But sadly, a lot of people are willing to go their, just to live in sin in this short life. Always remember, there is no life in Hell. Without God, there is no life, no love, no happiness, and worst of all... no meaning. That's why this event is gonna be life changing. It's gonna be so powerful, that even some US states, are gonna go under lockdown just because of it. Stay safe. 🙏🏻

[@AquaeAtrae]

With all the trending hype and eclipse guides, CLOUD COVER is the single most crucial variable hopeful viewers need to understand and have prepared flexibility for. TIP: The second most important thing to be careful of is bumper-to-bumper traffic on EVERY highway and frontage road between major cities and the Path of Totality. Somehow, we need to be ready to relocate last minute and yet avoid the the traffic. I highly recommend making your plan the night before (April 7th) and travelling as far as possible pre-dawn and before the hoards of other drivers start the same journey... growing more tense as the clock ticks. ;) Casper, WY 2017... avoided traffic by departing away from big cities and camping in Yellowstone and northern Idaho for several days. Meanwhile, my housemate tried to return to Denver and wasted an entire day sitting in traffic.

[@user-qf8ub5tt2p]

Traffic is going to be insane, not knowing until the last minute whether there is cloud coverage or not.... I have a hotel, location event tickets and Faith.

Howdy from the town of West, TX (on I-35 just north of Waco). We are pretty much right on the center line of totality, and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of several friends to join us from across the country! Your report reflects the exact anxiety I've been contemplating over the weather probabilities for this event. We could have anything from a gloriously clear day to an areal tornado outbreak on the day-of! After all, it's spring in central Texas we're talking about. Need I say more? Making the audible call the night before will be wild if we have to mosey somewhere else. Will be doing so along with 100 thousand or more of our closest friends on the highway also making the last-minute adjustment! Here's hoping for a clear day from Mexico to Canada on Apr 8.

This is accurate to an extent. However, the eclipse kills the clouds when it gets closer to totality. In 2017 partly cloudy skies became completely clear in Tennessee where I was. The greatest risk of cloud cover is if we get a synoptic rain system over that area. If it’s 50% cloud cover at a given location, much of it will clear. Not if it’s a full deck with a low ceiling.

[@onedollasnake]

2024 eclipse cleared 50% of the cloud cover out of the sky went form maybe 70% to 20%

[@anonymoushuman8344]

It's very striking how the angular diameter of the moon and the angular diameter of the sun in our sky are so nearly the same. I understand there is some variation in these. Still, what are the odds? I doubt it's just cosmic dumb luck. It's like the moon itself signifies that some very powerful, very ancient intelligence is or was present and wanted to make itself known one day to life on earth by this stark fact. Try thinking about this while watching Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[@charlessmith263]

I got my eclipse glasses, and made sure that it was LEGIT by doing the "flashlight test" on the other side of the lens. It is a faint light - SO IT IS ECLIPSE-READY! SO I CAN GO SEE THE ECLIPSE WITH THE GLASSES - and will never end up blind. Ever!

It not just a spring eclipse. There's a risk with a summer eclipse as well. I went to St. Joseph MO (which historically was supposed to be CLEAR) on Aug 21 2017. It rained at the time of totality. Terrible luck. You just never know.

[@Mars0984]

The clouds will clear some when totality clears. It happened in 2017. It won’t clear enough if it’s a thick cloud deck or if a front approaches right at the same time. Otherwise partly cloudy skies will clear at many places during totality. He didn’t mention this in the video.

The eclipse just happens to be the big even that week. It's also a new moon and there's dark skies in the Ozarks so I'll be taking milky way photos.

Yup I'm taking my chances at the western tip of Kentucky - Staying with a relative a few days, we'll get up early and drive up 30 minutes (normally I know traffic is going to be insane) I'm so hoping the weather coopertes for everyone, so far the models are looking promising but it's still two weeks away. I just hope it works out, I'm flying halfway across the country.

[@stclair49]

I am 60 Mile NE of Dallas, and i predict 10/10 cloud cover with heavy rain from 11am til midnight on Monday April 8, 2024. Place your bets.

[@mikehall3489]

I am over in Lamar County..about 50 miles from you, and your probably right, but if it rains or is cloudy, you can bet they sprayed chemtrails leading up to the 8th.

[@johnprince5000]

There has always been a saying about Arkansas weather, you can never expect what’s going to do weather wise, I say by the time it hits Little Rock it will be cloudy and maybe even start raining

[@gbst]

Thanks for this video! --- I'm coming from the East Coast. I've got a hotel room in Youngstown, Ohio. That puts me in driving distance from upstate New York to Southern Indiana.

[@rafabonati7757]

However, New York and Vermont appear to be in a great position this coming April 8. High pressure and clear sky is forecasted. Will be enjoying it in Plattsburgh, NY! Lucky us!

[@jmartin9785]

Went to comments at 1:13 , lf there's a God given miracle event here, and l believe it is, the reason for belief is the very many things that are taking place as never before. For God to keep clouds away will be a small thing.

[@Gaire-xv6qh]

Good luck to all of us everywhere including here in Indiana! Tots and Pears since thoughts and prayers are useless

[@tominite8672]

going to Northern New Hampshire, i know in the north early april can be snowy/ rainy depending on the year, but im hoping for fair conditions its still a few weeks out though so its uncertain as of now

[@sofar_sogud4929]

I flew to Australia from the U.S. for a total eclipse in 2012. Mostly cloudy until totality and it became completely blocked out. It was still pretty cool but the one I saw in Oregon in 2017 was AMAZING.

[@woodb51]

We saw the 2017 one in central Kentucky and yes it was awesome.

[@acgillespie]

@@woodb51 7 Years have passed so fast

[@Nate_Higgins]

Hope to see all y'all here in Arkansas. Hopefully, it's under clear skies.

[@LeadStarDude]

I live between Little Rock and Popular Bluff in the path of totality. Way closer to Little Rock. I hope we have a clear day that day.

[@SupportTheArts-yo8ox]

Best wishes!

[@stickboy2672]

The most unnerving thing about this path of totality is that it follows the general pattern of the jet stream and frontal systems. Fronts tend to generally lay in a southwest to northeast oruentation. So it could be very hard to chase on this one.

[@romeo8334]

I live in Dallas, it should be really clear here.

[@sharonhery5456]

We are still planning on Texas. We are giving ourselves 3 1/2 days and checking the weather daily.

[@douglaslang2218]

If it is cloudy I’ll be just as impressed with the darkness… I’ll be grateful

[@basilbcf]

I happened to be in the Air Force stationed at Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls in Feb 1979. Just dumb luck that the wife and I got to see that one and just had to walk out into the back yard.

[@user-to9jo2oq2f]

should do analysis like this for day before, day of, and day after for better hypothetical demo maybe

[@ryanreedgibson]

I have reservations in Mexico and live Arizona and really hope we're lucky.

[@danoberste8146]

I'd be more interested to see the cloud cover DURING the previous eclipses along those eclipse paths. The cooling of the landscape as the sun gets covered is said to retard the water vapor rising off the land, to reduce cloud cover locally just before totality.🤞😫🤞

[@enigma51ted]

driving to SW of Indianapolis from Minneapolis, have two camping reservations at $34 each

[@infernalmachine8417]

Seen the 2017 eclipse just south of Carbondale, Illinois. Will hopefully see this one in Vincennes, Indiana.

[@SuperdutyExplorer]

I have a few spots picked out, we'll see when I get closer. I'll be mobile in the adventure RIG but I'm sure the roads will be packed if I have to try n move... fingers crossed the forecast is right day before when picking final spot!

[@fazergazer]

I wonder if we can do ok prediction including Fujitsu cycles, La Niña El Niño, African coastal jets, meanwhile ocean temp, moisture flow streams.

[@travisrock1640]

Either way the place to go is West Texas

[@kevint1910]

the maps of most interest would be 2013 through 2015 which look pretty iffy to me. all three years at this same period in relation to the solar cycle have over cast across the entire eclipse track so odds are it will be for this year too

[@MT-qu2tg]

Uggghhhh! 2017 eclipse weather again? Praying for clear weather.

[@biancacarter3465]

I was born April 1979

[@dantheman9852]

Weird I guess but cool to me to see what the weather was 4 days after I was born lol nice video by the way.

[@rarespiritwendy]

Heard an “expert” today say, “If you see a poor forecast, get the car try to drive to a bubble of high pressure.” #eclipsemayhem 🌑

[@redgreen82]

We're supposed to have clear skies in Dallas...right up to the 8th where we have 40% chance of rain.

[@Ryukachoo]

This video made me feel a lot better about picking Austin for ny viewing

[@hikerJohn]

No according to the forecast. It is expected to RAIN pretty much everywhere

[@StaticBlaster]

what about Dallas/Plano?

[@hikerJohn]

@@StaticBlaster It will be 80% cloud cover starting at 8am

[@StaticBlaster]

@@hikerJohn I guess my best bet is to stay put in NM and have to settle for a partial eclipse. That's better than not seeing it at all.

[@hikerJohn]

@@StaticBlaster My friend is driving from California to Texas . . . he knows he might miss it because of clouds but he's going anyway. He left this morning. Ya might get lucky.

[@conspiracytheorista8988]

Now are we talking the REAL clouds or the ones sprayed by the planes?

[@tomn8tr]

Exactly

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

I live in Little Rock and have been getting anxious about the weather. The good news is that like 20 years later another one is going to intersect Arkansas again. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a single location in the path of two total solar eclipses in that time span

[@thelonehussar6101]

Southern Illinois got one back in 2017 and they are also getting this one

[@markbajek2541]

Yeah but last time Carbondale got skunked, Marion just east , up the road had a clear break in the clouds.
