Seems like there will be heavy cloud cover over Dallas during the eclipse, and some lib will say it's global warming, without realizing the age old saying, "April showers bring May flowers".

I guess it gets even darker...

Then look at it on the local news as they will get an aircraft and go above the clouds. High tech. And if you buy into this thread, they will be closer and will get a better shot anyway.

Kinda sad this article was even penned AND published.

I’ll be laughing my butt off that’s what happens

You put those doggone stupid Nasa approved Solar eclipse glasses in the closet.

It is like a daily eclipse in Ireland where the sun is blocked out by the clouds and rain.

Those aren’t clouds! Run!

It will be the fault of MAGA Republicans. Red states will probably have a better chance of clear skies than blue states.

In 1999 there was a total eclipse that went across much of Europe...but for a large number of people there were heavy clouds blocking the sun. I was in Graz, Austria, where it was cloudy...but luckily the clouds parted in time for us to witness the total phase of the eclipse.

Kamala Harris will see her shadow and

we’ll have 6 more weeks of yellow school buses?

What Happens if It’s Cloudy During an Eclipse?

All the frogs come out and invade the homes and businesses.

Then locusts come out and eat all the crops.

Lighter clouds tend to dissipate in the totality zone. Not always but frequently. With heavy clouds you’re about out of luck.

Our plan is near Cleveland where it’s forecast to be rather sunny with light clouds.

Our plan was to follow the forecast and head south if necessary. South looks to be bad on Monday.

a lot of people that spent mad money to see it get really angry???

It will get just as “dark” if it is cloudy or sunny. It will just not be as a “dramatic” a change.

How dark - perhaps similar to Civil Twilight, closer to the of the End Evening Civil Twilight spectrum?

A lot depends on the umbral width.

What happens if a pig flies over and blocks your view?

Go watch a movie, as its sure to be dark in the theater.

I’m in the path of this one. I’m bringing my boom box out and playing the “sci fi music” from “The Day the Earth Stood Still” as it passes by.

We had the corner of an 80% eclipse in Seattle, maybe five years ago?

Almost cloudless summer sky.

A TOTAL disappointment.

The air briefly cooled off, but the sunlight barely dimmed.

No stars visible. No night birds chirping.

Like a completely average cloudy day in the winter time.

The eclipse bylaws state that in the event of clouds the eclipse will be rescheduled to the following Friday.

No worries.

All prophetic events will be rescheduled 1000 years. Enjoy Biden for another 500 years!
