The total solar eclipse occurring today is the first widespread one in the Lower 48 states since 2017 and the last until 2044. Weather maps are being used to track cloud and rain conditions, with temperature drops of 5 to 15 degrees expected in the path of totality. Additionally, the "eclipse wind" phenomenon may cause winds to lighten as the moon covers more of the sun. The Weather Company is providing detailed coverage and updates on the eclipse and its accompanying phenomena.
Solar eclipses can impact the weather by causing temperature drops, making clouds disappear, increasing relative humidity, changing winds, and disturbing the ionosphere. During an eclipse, temperatures can drop significantly, leading to the dissipation of fairweather cumulus clouds and an increase in relative humidity. Winds may change direction and speed, and the ionosphere experiences disturbances, producing bow waves. These effects create a unique and unforgettable experience for those in the path of totality.
A cold front is expected to move into South Florida on Thursday night, bringing cooler, drier, and less humid weather.
