The 2024 total solar eclipse is just a few days away (Monday, April 8), and models are starting to converge on a solution for who might see clear skies and who might be socked in clouds along the totality path. In this video, we'll dive into the meteorology along the totality path to see where eclipse-hampering clouds are more likely to form.
We also have several days of severe weather on tap, including on eclipse Monday. Tomorrow (Saturday, April 6), SPC has outlined a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for parts of Nebraska and Kansas. A potent trough and surface low will move into the central Plains, yielding a severe threat with all hazards possible, but limited moisture and an unfavorable storm mode should preclude a more intense event. Then, multiple days of severe weather are expected to start next week from Texas into the Southeast as a second trough makes its way eastward and interacts with rich Gulf moisture. At this time, the tornado threat seems low, but large hail and damaging winds are a distinct possibility.
