2024 Eclipse Forecast: Early signs point to partly to mostly cloudy skies in North Texas
We are a little more than a week out from the April 8 total solar eclipse in North Texas, and we are starting to get an idea of what the weather will be like.
Early indications show that things may be a bit unsettled in North Texas.
Right now, it looks like we could have partly to mostly cloudy skies on the day of the eclipse.
The FOX 4 Weather team sees signs of southerly winds, and at this time of year, that favors clouds.
2024 Eclipse: When will the solar eclipse happen near me?
North Texas is lucky enough to be in the path of the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Here is when you can expect to see day turn to night.
It does look like there will be a storm system in the region, but because we are still far out, the timing could be off by a day or two one way or the other.
"It's still too early to speculate on how exactly that may affect our viewing conditions on Monday afternoon [on April 8]," said FOX 4 meteorologist Dylan Federico.
