The forecast for Monday's total solar eclipse in Dallas continues to be cloudy, but the experts continue to suggest there's reason to be hopeful for good viewing conditions.Storms are likely for North Texas on Monday, according to WFAA’s Pete Delkus .
But before you get too upset, the award-winning weathermanAs for the noon hour when the eclipse will be in its full state? Well, the news hasn’t changed much from the previous reports of this past week. Delkus and others including the National Weather Service began sounding the warning bell for less than optimal eclipse viewing conditions as far back as March 31. In the days since, the forecast for Monday, April 8, has been one featuring partly cloudy skies, still with a glimmer of hope for a sliver of decent eclipse viewing.In a Thursday evening tweet, Delkus described the clouds we can expect to see in town as the “high, thin cirrus” sort. But let’s not forget that on Wednesday, Monique Sellers from the National Weather Service in Fort Worth told theNo changes to the eclipse forecast: clouds are likely, but the main cloud type looks to be high, thin cirrus for most. Low to mid level clouds are expected southeast of the metroplex. Storms hold off until after the eclipse.As we noted earlier this week, official forecasts are usually about 80% accurate a week out, and five-day forecasts are often as high as 90% accurate, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Most such forecasts won’t predict the amount of cloud cover expected in DallasThe odds of cloudy skies for cities south of us on the eclipse’s path of totality remain pretty high, although cities north of Dallas in the same path are seeing pretty high chances of more clear skies. But just barely crossing the Texas-Arkansas line won't be enough for the best chances at optimal viewing. NOAA says that cloud cover is “most likely from Texas through Southern Arkansas.”, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way.
