Forecasts regarding the weather for the much awaited complete solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, are already being made by meteorologists. Although it’s still too early for accurate daily projections, AccuWeather has released an early forecast based on existing weather patterns that suggests it’s a good estimate.
The best weather for seeing the eclipse is presently predicted for Southern Texas, the Ohio Valley, and the Great Lakes, according to AccuWeather. However, the Mississippi and Tennessee valleys have a little higher likelihood of cloudy weather. The likelihood of cloud cover obstructing the eclipse may be greatest in the Northeast.
There is still hope for clear skies on the day of the eclipse in all places, despite these forecasts. AccuWeather notes that when the event gets closer, more precise and in-depth forecasts will be accessible.
Texas, especially the vicinity of Brady, appears to have the best probability of having clear skies throughout the eclipse, according to historical meteorological data. But there may be additional cloud cover in some areas of Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York.
Millions of Americans are getting ready to see this uncommon celestial event, but other big forecasting services like Weather.com and the National Weather Service haven’t yet produced eclipse-specific forecasts. As the date draws near, check back for additional updates.
