As Americans prepare for the wondrous celestial spectacle of a total solar eclipse on April 8, cloudy skies or thunderstorms have been forecast for some areas in the direct path of totality.
The latest national weather forecast shows that during the eclipse heavy rain and severe thunderstorms are likely to be soaking parts of the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, southern Arkansas and the majority of Texas.
The best chances for viewing the totality under clear skies—while the moon passes in front of the sun creating darkness during the day—will be the New England area or the northern regions of Indiana and Ohio.
Another region with potential for clear skies runs from northern Arkansas to central Indianathrough southern Illinois and Missouri, although this area has the greatest uncertainty due to possible high clouds.
