"Cloudy Forecast: Will Crappy Weather Ruin the Total Solar Eclipse Across North America?"

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 is threatened by poor weather across much of North America, with normally clear regions facing bad conditions and unexpected improvements in typically poor areas. Over a dozen U.S. states and Canadian provinces lie in the path of totality, but the weather forecast for the event is not promising, with some areas likely to have limited or obstructed views due to cloud cover. Unusual weather patterns have disrupted typical viewing conditions, with the best chances for clear skies now in the northeast, while Texas remains largely unfavorable. Despite the forecasts, there is still hope for clear skies on the day of the eclipse.
