Total solar eclipse 2024: If you’re in Vermont, Maine, and Canada, you’re in luck. But for the remainder of Monday’s total solar eclipse, it could be tough weather-wise.
According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, most of the path of the eclipse in the US is expected to be cloudy with some places having clear skies.

Northern New England in Canada is still the best place to see the eclipse, when the moon blocks the sun for a few minutes and turns day into night.
Texas is expected to have the densest clouds. More worryingly, the weather service is predicting severe weather — tornadoes and hail — at the time of the eclipse for parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

At the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland on Sunday, weather service meteorologist Alexa Mains tried to reassure visitors that all was not lost. On Monday morning, there were clouds due to the hot air, but they may clear by the time of the eclipse. “Cloud cover is one of the hardest things to predict,” he said.
Eclipse meteorologist Jay Anderson also believes the eclipse can be seen from Dallas to Columbus through thin, high clouds. “The situation is not the best but tolerable,” Anderson, a retired Canadian meteorologist, said via email.
“South of Dallas, there are a lot of low clouds that will disappoint a lot of eclipse lovers,” he said.
