Many regions face challenging viewing conditions for the eclipse, with only a few areas offering clear skies under generally unfavorable weather.

Much of North America isn’t looking great for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, with normally clear regions facing bad weather, and areas that typically see poorer conditions now unexpectedly offering some of the best views. I try not to worry about things that are beyond my control, but the threat of poor weather on the Big Day is really getting me down.

A low-pressure system over the central plain is affecting the weather significantly, with warmth and moisture being scooped northward, creating a “veil of cloud cover across part of the deep south, the Midwest, and even the southern plains,” Cappucci said. As a result, Texas is not expected to have promising viewing conditions.
