High cirrus continues to move to the north east, with the bulk of it north of Indianapolis. The eclipse will be in the southern sky, so any cover directly overhead or to the north will have no impact
Enjoy the eclipse, and stay safe!

We are keying on a broad area of high cirrus moving NE over southern Missouri. This should get into central Indiana between 1-2PM. There is still some uncertainty on how thick this cirrus will be as it reaches Indiana. Stay tuned for updates!

We are now 53 hours away from the total solar eclipse! Here is a rundown on the types of clouds we think are possible for Monday afternoon, along with their impact level on eclipse viewability. Changes are still possible, so continue to monitor for updates as we get closer.

Overnight cloud cover is expected to erode Monday morning, leaving Monday afternoon with primarily high clouds less likely to significantly hamper eclipse viewing. Stay tuned, as uncertainty remains with respect to the timing of this morning clearing.

Here is the updated cloud cover forecast for Monday afternoon during the total solar eclipse. The best chances for clear viewing remain in northern New England and from southern Missouri to central Indiana. There is still uncertainty, so continue to check for forecast updates!

While uncertainty remains, there are signs that skies may be clearing by Monday afternoon for the upcoming eclipse. There is at least a 30-50% chance that total sky coverage will be 50% or greater, but that does not mean all cloud cover will be thick and opaque. Stay tuned!
