AccuWeather released its early forecast for the total solar eclipse on April 8.
The total solar eclipse is coming, that much is a certainty, as is its well-defined path of totality across North America. What’s considerably less clear, however, is how clear the skies will be on the big day, as varying weather forecasts suggest the possibility of cloud cover that would hinder visibility in different regions. With the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse happening April 8, regions stretching from Mexico and Texas all the way to Maine in the U.S.
Despite this, Pastelok notes the possibility of clear skies even in these riskier regions. The challenge for meteorologists lies in accurately predicting cloud conditions for the brief period of totality, which lasts approximately four minutes. “There is a good possibility that a cold front will be moving across central and eastern U.S. near this time of the eclipse,” Pastelok said, and this could significantly influence cloud coverage.
