If you were hoping for sunny, spotless skies above San Antonio for Monday’s total solar eclipse — keep hoping. That’s because a weak warm front will be moving into the area over the weekend that is going to temporarily bring some dry air, said Jason Runyen, a National Weather Service meteorologist stationed at the Austin/San Antonio area office in New Braunfels. However, when a warm front comes north toward the city, it brings a really quick surge of moisture and higher chances for precipitation, Runyen said.
“If you’re trying to photograph the eclipse, there’s not really anywhere that is that good of an area across Texas,” Runyen said. “The farther north you go get up into North Texas, you might be able to kind of make out the eclipse through some thinner, high clouds.”

There are weather computer models that show MORE cloud cover, and there are also some that show LESS. Although dry Monday morning, clouds are likely to still be around from Sunday night thunderstorms. Cirrus clouds are likely to replace thicker morning clouds. Cirrus clouds are high clouds made of ice crystals. They would likely only filter the sunlight and not totally block our view of the eclipse.
