With less than a week left until the highly anticipated solar eclipse across much of the United States, forecasters are becoming more confident about the expected cloud cover.
It is crucial to predict cloud cover, especially for cities that are directly in the path of Monday’s total eclipse, such as San Antonio, Texas, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Carbondale, Illinois.
Although forecasts will only be accurate 24 to 48 hours before the eclipse, it is anticipated that skies across New England will be clear with only high clouds that will not obstruct the eclipse. This also includes the possibility of unique sky conditions in cities like Burlington, Vermont, and Houlton, Maine.
Parts of northern Arkansas, southern Missouri, and western Indiana also have a greater than 50% chance of experiencing mostly clear skies on Monday afternoon.
Unfortunately, other regions of the country may not be as fortunate.
