"Optimizing Your View: Planning for the April Solar Eclipse"

On April 8, a total solar eclipse will be visible across North America, but the viewing experience may be affected by cloud cover. Historical cloud cover data is imprecise, making it difficult to predict viewing conditions. While Buffalo is along the path of totality with a higher chance of cloud cover, Texas has a higher chance of being cloud-free but faces potential severe weather. The eclipse date coincides with peak time for early-season wildflowers in Texas. Weather systems can change, so there's hope for clear skies as this event is a rare occurrence not happening again until 2044.
