If you're looking at partly cloudy areas, one thing to remember is that a total eclipse has been known to reduce clouds as it cools the atmosphere and earth's surface, decreasing atmospheric lift. In 2017 we had partly cloudy skies but as totality approached the clouds started to vanish and left the whole sky nearly cloudless, save the horizon where totality wasn't occurring.
Saw the one in 2017 in totality. Didn't have to leave home, thankfully. It got eerily quiet, the temp dropped & my chicken's, turkey's & duck's all froze in place like statues until it was over.
I really like your channel, better than others. You pan out so we can actually see the areas affected or going to be affected. You take time and acknowledge your viewers....paid or not and you give information on where things are headed. I can't stand when people get so big that they don't care about anything, except being top dog. Thank you Max!
Go on the roof! You won’t regret it. I did that at my house is 2017. I was able to see the street lights turn on and a 360 view of everything getting darker.
A lot of the younger generation has never seen this before I'am 66 yrs old and I have seen 3 eclipses in my life. Is to get real windy today for oklahoma and sunday and I think clouds will be coming in sunday because we are to get storms after the eclipse.
Hi Max! 🙋🏼♀️ Well since I’m not permitted to drive anymore due to a plethora of medical conditions, I’m stuck in the 97% totality, which is better than nothing! I did see a total eclipse when I was very young and have to say it was the coolest thing ever! It became so quiet and the crickets began chirping! I guess it is worth a road trip to those who haven’t experienced it, but not at $800 and more for a room! Thanks for the update!
Thanks for the update! I rolled the dice back in November and booked a hotel in Ohio. Was worried about cloud cover for the last few weeks. Guess I made the correct choice some what. The drive down today quite nice. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Dayton, ohio.(Wisconsin)
We’re driving to Little Rock from NC! Looks really good for Conway. It’s probably fine for Little Rock, too. We drove to the 2017 eclipse - there was about 60% cloud cover for that where we were, and it was still amazing.
There are people from 26 countries here for the eclipse on Monday, lol. I live in Indiana where we were to have almost the perfect view. Oh well. It is what it is!
So sorry for those in cloud cover that wanted to view it. I feel like we all should have known this would happen. Thanks for the updates. Hope all those in storms way stay safe.
Cloud cover is fine - if you can see the bright spot where the sun is, you’ll be able to experience the fall into darkness. Heavy precipitation/thunderstorms is the only really unfavorable weather for this. We had mostly cloudy conditions for the 2017 eclipse and it was still amazing. The sun broke out of the clouds right at the end of totality which was absolutely wild.
I traveled to Danville , NY from North NJ it took 5 hours to get here. Hoping to beat the traffic and hoping there will be bar;ey any clouds. I may need to take the trip up to buffalo yo get a better chance
Or happen to have the ability to schedule a weekday off to observe and enjoy a relative rarity in nature... a good reminder that we are not mon-fri worker bots and that we live in a natural world full of wonder.
Thankfully the Red Sea parted for most eclipse viewers on the path. North east Texas, Arkansas, Ind, I’ll, Missouri, Ohio all saw relatively clear skies in comparison to the pessimistic, bleak forecasts we’ve been hearing about for 2 weeks. Unfortunately Mother Nature got her revenge by unleashing a hellish, massive rain and hail storm here Texas just hours after totality. Thank god the weather waited a few hours. The eclipse was awesome.
Just an FYI: Cape Girardeau .. soft G.. ends in 'doe" .... gir -ar-doe... at least that's how I learned to say it from my grandparents who grew up in the area.... looks like here in Texas it may be a big nothing burger for looking upward... need the rain tho.
I've read this is actually a once in 200 year event for the US due to the distance of the moon away from the earth being farther away causing the ring we see at totality to be wider. Sorry to anyone who is going to miss it due to clouds. Thank you Max for your detailed forecast giving people the best information they need to be in the right area to see it.
Anything short of solid, heavy cloud cover with precipitation is still fine for a total eclipse. It’s still wild even if you can only see a bright spot.
.seems like it's generally overlooked that cloud cover will make a far greater dark sky over a wider region......it's far worse that it can't be seen.....
@roxane7432 I went anyway. I pulled the camper 17 hours to Waco TX. I'm crossing my fingers for no clouds and kicking myself for not choosing Maine a year ago when I planned this trip....
We are going to stay home. We may go out on the porch to watch but going a long distance traveling to see this is just nuts! It only lasts 5 minutes at best! Are folks that daft?
The reason why people do is because it doesn't happen often. Giving said the next Solar Eclipse in the United States won't be until 2044 and 2045, 20-21 years from now.
@@Ambitious_Scripter To each their own but for a 5 minute event? Most weather forecasters have shown that most areas will be very cloudy and overcast, storms.. Unless you were planning to vacation at that time anyways, what's the point? Add to the traffic? Take an unnecessary risk? Go for it! Again.. I'm staying home! Have fun! God bless!
I always wonder where the moon starts and ends like the direction. The moon travels I try to picture it. I can tell when it starts. I'm guessing it enter the suns surface at Texas then moves towards New York just like the shadow travels. I often wonder I've seen the moon lots of times in the daytime. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often than it does.
mean a two questions: 1) what would happen if we held a total eclipse and no one came? 2) aren't you supposed to be on vaca? i still think the idea of you chartering an airplane and flying from the mexican pacific coast to maine was a good idea. i wonder if any commercial pilots are gonna get lost flying across the US on monday. probably only the ones going west. uh, you, as a bright young meteorologist in training, know that total solar eclipses occur about every year and a half somewhere on the marble. depends on the definition of "somewhere".
@@BrianSchaffer where I am the moon always comes from north east ish and goes south west ish but mostly east to west, never opposite of that. Doesn't make sense to me, also can never find the moon before or after the eclipse anywhere in the sky , we should see it some point even an hour or 3 before or after but didn't see it at all.
@@bedoers4good330The same reason you don’t see stars in the daytime. The sun is just too bright. If you are in a brightly lit stadium at night, you can’t see stars and probably not the moon, for the same reason. If it is a baseball game, and you’re seated fieldside - if the ball is hit into the upper stands, you won’t see it unless it passes between you and a light.
@@irenafarm sorry, I don't buy that, I see the moon all the time in broad daylight, sometimes very faintly but it's there. When it's on a visible cycle.
Max, when you showed the New England area, you could have mentioned that Montreal, Sherbrooke, Granby, etc are in Canada. Btw, Granby is pronounced Gran-bee. I’m a Canadian expat from Montreal living in Missouri, across the Missouri River from Jefferson City. What percentage of the eclipse will be visible for us here, please? Thank you for your detailed weather forecasts. I hope you are getting extra credits towards your degree for all that you are doing!😊

Doesn't this not apply to rain clouds though? Only applies to temperature-based clouds

The only ones that will get a picture will be 3 guys named larry Daryl and Daryl in Vermont 😂
Daryl, Daryl, and Daryl. 😀😀
Hello I'm Daryl this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl. 🤣
Guess it depends
Oh there will be lots of us in New England! I’m in the airport right now about to fly to Boston. Final destination Jackman, Maine.
I`m more concerned about getting my grass mowed.
That makes one of us. If you’re not interested in the eclipse, why click on the video?

We are right under the path of totality here in Southern, IL. Going to view it from the front porch.
Go on the roof! You won’t regret it. I did that at my house is 2017. I was able to see the street lights turn on and a 360 view of everything getting darker.
I've seen two, think I'll watch on live TH-cam channels. 😊

Yes, I'm 61 and also seen 3 eclipse. I hope all who made reservations, hadls a refund plan
Total eclipse?
My dad who is 72 saw it once in life
My campground is in the path of the solar eclipse, and I’m in Samson Illinois. It’s going to be a total solar eclipse here.
I'm looking forward seeing the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday. Wish me luck
Once in a life time 😮with a comet ☄️
My dad said many did not read the almanac 😂 I thought he was kidding. Nope cloudy skies are in the future ⛅️

Storms during or after an eclipse 🤔 sounds like the return of Jesus to me. 🤔

Those cloud seeding planes will be busy on Monday to make sure to cover whole path of totality..wow
Exactly!
Bingo
Just as they intended.
Pray for clear skies, thanks...
IT LOOKS LIKE A HARRP WEATHER PICTURE , JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'TSEE
i live in conway, ar and have my glasses ready to go, give me some sunshine mother nature so i can see this in its entirety

Indiana all good no rain or storms 😊😊😊
Last i heard 90 percent of hotels in the path are filled up already and there will be millions arriving i hope they offer refunds
Lots of Chemtrails in Texas today. What are they doing?
flying airplanes??
What are they trying too hide.??

Thanks for the update, I'm going to be in the Indianapolis area, so that day I can drive where we need to go.
We planned the same for Little Rock and I’m grateful that it looks like we won’t have to travel from there! Good luck!
Good luck better drive now it will be a mess out there 😂
I’ll be in an airplane flying from Dallas TX to Chicago tomorrow when this happens 😊
This eclipse will be the most Texas thing imaginable. the ONE TIME I WANT CLEAR SKIES it will be cloudy. Of course it has to be ruined.
Going right over my house in Vermont. Dead center on the Canadian border.
@CrazyKazy Haha!! Vermont joke... well played ;)
Great forecast and intro! Was cordial while getting to the point and giving information. You're fun to listen to.
Also, your hair is looking awesome!
So sorry for those in cloud cover that wanted to view it. I feel like we all should have known this would happen. Thanks for the updates. Hope all those in storms way stay safe.
Man some people sure get all into eclipses. I will just watch on tv, easier. But i never get giddy about them.
I already knew they was going to block it

I really dont care i will be working
Ok
I'm in the northeast. Central New England actually. So I'll see 90% of the eclipse!🎉🌑
I'M IN MAINE,MOUNT DESERT ISLAND. WE SEEN THESE EVENTS, HERE IN THE NORTH.NOT OUR FIRST RODIO
Thank you
How much danger will north Dallas be in? And which day is the most dangerous
Hoping and waiting for a miracle that will happen on Monday.
I akways have a cloudy sky when major moon events are predicted.
Alot of bored people lol. Working people has to work no time for nonsense like this

What are the weather controlers trying to hide i wonder?
Chop, chop! It's been 7 hours. We need updates! :-)
Let me know about "Toledo, Ohio" because are is about 3'ck??
Lmao Im right out side of the storm, but still inside of the way of the eclipse
Is valley mills tx gonna have storms

Ill watch the eclipse if I watch it on television
Imagine a dark cloudy sky with a break in the clouds reviling the corona. They say the next total eclipse will be 2045.
