ECLIPSE vs. CLOUDS: When we look at the average cloud cover on April 8th, there are some areas that are winning and others that aren’t so good.

Anywhere with the grey color…the chances aren’t the best, based on history from 1995-2023. The lightest grey is 60% cloud cover and the next darkest is up to 70%. This isn’t a forecast, this is what’s happened in the previous 28 years. If you’re in Texas through Arkansas…you’re winning. Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia…you’re on the wrong end of the stick.

3-5 days before April 8th, the forecasts for your area should be pretty accurate and you know what you’ll be getting. So make your plans now, if you haven’t already!

Notice the totality part of the eclipse goes by pretty fast, from the Pacific Ocean, across Mexico, across the contiguous USA, and past Canada into the Atlantic Ocean in about 25-30 minutes!
