There is a slight chance of clear skies in April in some locations along the moon's "path of totality," which is the area where the moon blocks the sun's face. The weather in these locations appears to be at its gloomiest on Monday.

Although a lot of people are traveling to Texas just to witness the eclipse, forecast models indicate that between 60% and 80% of the Lone Star State will be hidden by clouds on the big day.

However, several areas of northern New England appeared to have far greater potential. The National Weather Service reports that clear skies are also expected in the middle Mississippi Valley and western Ohio Valley, which include Indianapolis.

Gary Fine, an 81-year-old retired Los Angeles photographer, expressed his dismay on Friday while getting ready for his vacation in Dallas. Fine had taken months to prepare his journey. He responded with a disappointed expression.

When rumors of cloudy weather in Texas began to circulate, Fine gave switching to a New England timetable some thought, but ultimately concluded it would be too expensive and difficult to execute. As Fine put it, we'll just keep doing what we're doing and hope for the best.

The change in luck, according to meteorologist Josh Weiss of the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center, is caused by a storm system that is moving across the upper Midwest and a cold front that is connected to it.

Seasonal climatic trends indicate that April will bring the cloudiest weather to the Ohio Valley and New England, while the southern portion of the eclipse path is projected to see the clearest skies. Weiss asserts that it is just a coincidence that this weather pattern is almost inverted.
