It's not just clouds, there's a new weather threat for eclipse viewers to worry about

Severe thunderstorms typically rumble to life later in the afternoon in the southern US, after the daytime heat reaches its peak, driven by a largely cloud-free sky.

Clouds could fill the sky and turn what should be a picture-perfect moment for the total solar eclipse into something lesser than.

Totality, when the moon will entirely block the sun, will occur along a more than 100-mile-wide path from Texas to Maine, passing over cities like Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo, New York.Are you in the path of totality?

Anyone stuck in post-eclipse traffic Monday afternoon or evening in northeastern Texas, southern Oklahoma, southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana could be at risk of damaging thunderstorms.CNN Weather via CNN Newsource

Meanwhile, high pressure and a largely cloud-free sky could shape up over the Northeast and create excellent viewing conditions for totality.Cloud forecasts are still subject to change as minor differences in how storms or air masses move this week can make a huge difference in where clouds develop next week. More precise cloud cover forecasts with higher confidence levels should be possible by this weekend.
