Solar Eclipse 2024: What to expect from the forecast
PHILADELPHIA - In all the forecasts for the areas of the total solar eclipse, Maine and northeast New England have consistently had clear skies. So, based on those forecasts, northern New Hampshire and Maine are great spots to see the eclipse.
As for the rest of the country in the path of the total solar eclipse, there are a lot of cloudy areas.
Parts of the Midwest and Texas look very cloudy while other spots will have breaks in the clouds.
What happens if it's cloudy during the eclipse? The answer depends, researchers say
As the total lunar eclipse on April 8 approaches, one study suggests that cloudy forecasts may not spoil the celestial event.
As for the Philadelphia area, we'll have partly sunny skies after a sunny Sunday.
The Weather Authority's future radars show two models with just a few white clouds across our skies.
The other two models have a lot more clouds over the Philadelphia area when close to 90 percent of the sun will be blocked by the moon.
Highs will be in the low to mid 60s as the eclipse happens in the afternoon.
In terms of climatology, in the last 10 April 8ths, six of those days were cloudy or partly cloudy. There is a 40 percent chance of a perfectly blue sky Monday.
