April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse our biggest obstacle will be cloud cover. We could luck out and have a day like we did in 2017 in that case, most people in the path will see it. Or, we could have a day like 2018, where many in the path will be clouded out.

In this video we take a look at total cloud cover on April 8 for the last 45 years 1979 2023, based GOES Satellite Imagery as posted by Tim Schmit

Notice how much the forecast changes from yeartoyear on April 8. Some days were totally clear, some mostly clouded out, some in between. If you're planning to be mobile on eclipse day, think about your contingency plans in the event of a 'lessthanfavorable' forecast (south Texas or Ohio??).

'April showers bring May flowers' (and Solar Eclipse sadness). Hence, why this eclipse is called 'The Heartbreaker.'
