Surprisingly ours is looking okay. Quite clear and sunny right now but some possible high thin clouds around eclipse time. They said it shouldn’t obscure but maybe filter it. Fingers crossed they hold off. The wonderful thing is temps are supposed to be in the 50s or higher. All of that is such un-April weather for us, so we are feeling lucky in this area.
Hope everyone watching has great viewing.

At school I won't be able to watch because I will be with the kids and we are being kept inside the school. Weather is fine, but we only get a partial.

We are in the 85% range, but I'll be surprised if we see anything. Its overcast and thunderstorms are expected during the height of the action.

We are in the 90% range but won't see a thing as it is completely overcast and spitting rain today.

We are in totality and have overcast skies. Hopefully it’s clear enough to view since we are out of school today. We gave all our students viewing glasses, and most teachers were doing eclipse lessons on Friday, so we will have some annoyed and upset kids if they can’t see anything.

Best in the country for eclipse viewing! Sunny and in 100% totality range here at camp. I thought about you and was thinking you were in the perfect range…hahaha. I am in Vermont and we have those darn high clouds coming in from NY so they are going to get to us before you. But it should be so much better than I actually expected it to be and it will be warm! Enjoy!!!

We drove 400 miles to be in the path of totality. I brought a whole RV full of family, telescopes, cameras, etc… The cool thing also is that my sister lives 3 minutes from our camping spot!
Yesterday was beautiful and completely sunny! I got some practice with the viewing apparatus.
Woke up this morning and it is completely overcast. Forecast is partly cloudy so maybe?
I made the decision that we will stay put at our campsite and enjoy totality whether we can see the sun or not! I’ve got my family here to enjoy the experience whatever God gives us! <3

We are in the 90+ totality range, and it has been cloudy and rainy since yesterday, but the skies are clearing, so hopefully, it will hold out until later.
Then we get rain until Friday.

Currently 62°. Clear skies and sun. Forecast to be mostly sunny.
We are in 99.9% totality. That’s good enough for me. DH wants to drive to 100%. I think it’s going to be too crazy out there. I’m staying home.

Pretty clear here although we are not in the direct path.. I think we are around 65%. I'll probably miss the whole thing anyways. I'm at work and didn't bother to get glasses.

I haven’t been putting much thought into this since I am in So. Cal. But apparently the region I live in (San Diego/Riverside) has some of the best viewing in the state, 55-60%. Our weather will be perfect, sunny but blue skies. Alas, we did not prepare (no glasses) so we’ll be watching on the TV.

Clear now but they are predicting high clouds and temps in the mid-70's. Hopefully it will stay nice and clear.

Enjoy!!! How fast can you get here? 😊 We drove up yesterday and already saw some people camped out on the way in. It’s quiet over here in our cove, but DH just went into town and said while in town looks like a July 4th kind of crowd, the grocery store parking lot was packed and all the scenic overlooks look like combat zones lol.

I haven’t ventured out today but yesterday I took a quick trip to my parents about an hour away. I was also curious on what the traffic would be as the predicted range has been pretty wide. There certainly weren’t the hordes but there were quite a few more cars and many were out of state plates. I was on roads less traveled so there is that 😆.

If I was at home, I would be in totality but I'll be at the airport when the eclipse is at its apex.

At the moment here in Northern Virginia there isn't a cloud in the sky. We will see if that lasts...

We are in the path of totality, and had the best chance of good weather in the country. It’s mostly cloudy and expected to stay that way until early evening 🤣 Our chances of rain went way down but our cloud cover went way up. Chance for severe storms, hail and just for funnies…tornadoes. Naturally. It’s possible we’ll be in that one spot in the county that doesn’t have clouds when the time comes, but I’m not holding my breath and we are not driving around to the areas expected to have less cloud cover because traffic will be absolutely insane if it’s not already. Pretty bummed. lilacgal I’ve been thinking about your trip here and hoping you’re able to go where the viewing is best!

We're in the path of totality. They have been saying it's probably going to be cloudy for days now but it's better then we hoped for. The clouds have been breaking up periodically and even sunny sometimes. Unfortunately the sun increases our chances for very strong storms tonight. It's almost show time!

It's a lovely day out. My city is to have totality of the eclipse. A bit overcast. So still hoping for a good viewing.
