Here's Where Weather Will Be A Factor For The Total Solar Eclipse

Clouds Still Appear To be a problem across parts of Texas. The best place weather wise to view the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8 remains in New England. Parts of upstate New York, Vermont, Maine and New Brunswick.
Weather for eclipse looks dicey in Texas.

Wish I had some better news for the path. Best weather continues to be parts of the Northeast. Hang out with us Monday! We are starting live coverage at 1ET and Noon CT with weather info and the view of the eclipse from across the country. Be safe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX6VeqJqi56kpNU - Jonathan

I'm in Rochester NY. We've had two Sunny Days in a row! We know we're not likely to get a third. So I'm just praying any clouds clear up during the eclipse. But when. I get up tmw morning and it's cloudy I'll still be very very tense. 😜🙄😥

My brother set himself up over 3 months ago to be in Jackman, ME for this. I may have to consult him for gambling advice! I was planning to drive about 2 hours north from my home into the Adirondacks. A huge letdown and a lot of stress for nothing (I hate traffic and crowds) if I can't see it. The cloud cover forecast for upstate NY got worse and worse with every update in the last 48 hours. 😠

[@garagegamer6484]

I live in a small rural town in north western Pennsylvania. It's sunny today and calling for cloud cover tomorrow. What worries me most is we are expecting to have over 10,000 vistors in a town of 5,000 people. Not sure where parking is going to be but it's going to be crowded in my little town.

[@BlueTrane2028]

Try being Jackman Maine right now. Their population is like 900 people…

[@qwert_yuiop7506]

total eclipse viewing is always risky. taking a chance on a flight from san diego to boston, to cross path of totality between indiana/ohio border and w. ny state if no delays. clear skies to all! (btw liked and subscribed)

[@jeffb896]

I live in Southwest Pa. we are getting a 97 percent solar eclipse, but thats not good enough, drove 3 1/2 hours to a very small town Bloomville Ohio, dead center for totality, they are calling for partly cloudy skies, keeping my fingers crossed, the 2017 solar eclipse was burned into my mind, can't wait for this one.

Drove down to Southern Illinois last night from Chicagoland and arrived at midnight. People were traveling from Nebraska, Wyoming, MN, Iowa, MO, TX, NY, Indiana, KY and the farthest I saw was WA. The roads were busy like daytime last night. If waiting to travel tomorrow am or even late today…buckle up and be ready for lots of traffic! This is my 2nd eclipse, Makanda IL. I have faith in perfect visibility. BTW, my ride home in ‘17 from Makanda took 12 hours back to Chicagoland! The way back is the worst traffic. That’s why I opted to stick around until Tuesday to head back home this time. Hotel was booked 5 months ago. You won’t find anything now. Good luck and be safe America! 🌝🌚🌎

[@sirarnie9837]

Thanks for posting this! I was gonna head to that area too, driving from Nashville. But coupled with the uncertainty of visibility and traffic, I've decided not to go. Hope you get to see a clear Totality.

I ended up changing my plans for Syracuse this morning after looking at the cloud forecast. I know I could have kept going east, but I think the roads are going to be a mess. Now I am sitting in Ft Wayne IN, and have a spot tomorrow a bit north west of Indianapolis, which I hope works out. I was really torn this morning, since I was half way to Syracuse, but it really felt like the clouds were just continuing to creep eastward.

[@lesliemacmillan9932]

Thanks so very much for your cloud modeling. My wife and I drove to the west end of the Lake Erie shoreline (Canadian side), bailing on our home in the Niagara area where we were going to get totality right over our house. Sure enough, as we headed west (and the morning wore on) the clouds we had woken up with gradually thinned and we had sparkling clear skies even sooner than Leamington, Ontario. We fetched up on the shoreline near Erieau and had a spectacular view out to the lake. There were some further light cirro-stratus clouds moving up from the west just enough to give that large ring around the sun but not thick enough to block the corona and it was absolutely perfect. Well done!

[@Abril-1234]

The path of totality matters more than clear skies. Because even with clouds you’ll still experience the day to night to day effect Edit: I just meant I’d rather have a total eclipse with cloud than a partial eclipse with clear skies. Luckily the clouds parted where I was and we have perfect visibility during the total eclipse

[@paulp.6399]

It's just not the same, though.

[@AnthonyTrifoglio]

Yeah but that's like going to a race event and only hearing the engines. That's only half the experience

[@SDseb]

Yeah which really sucks cause me and my family were planning (mostly me) to drive towards Buffalo and of course it's gonna be cloudy on the day of the eclipse and sunny the day before :/

seeing the Corona of the sun is 100x cooler than the day to night effect.

[@bgow8751]

In southern central KY it wasn't dark but definitely darker than the average daylight. Very cool.

Fortunately in Ontario, the 401 more or less follows the eclipse path, so you can drive along the north shore of Lake Ontario and go into Quebec if necessary.

[@abebabo4315]

The last eclipse in 2017 that crossed over Tennessee, I watched total coverage in Lebanon Tenn, outside Nashville. The sky was partly cloudy with patches of sunshine coming thru. As totality increased the clouds disappeared due to the absence of daytime heating. My question is...can this be a factor again, how much or less clouds does this become a factor.

I am in Central Texas and I am aiming tomorrow for the NW corner of our state, as you projected with the hyper local cloud forecast (Incidentally, I got clouded out of the 2017 eclipse in Kansas City and fought cirrostratus clouds in San Antonio for the annular eclipse last October in San Antonio😖😥).

The weather on eclipse day was an outright miracle. With the exception of deep South Texas and West New York, it cleared up for practically the entire path. Just look at the satellite Timelapse.
