Forecasting The Texas Eclipse: What Weather Should We Expect?

All eyes are on the eclipse Texas weather forecast for Monday. We’ll cover the possibilities in detail!

A cool front is bringing drier air into Texas today with northwesterly winds. Skies will become mostly clear by this afternoon. Wednesday will be even better, with severe clear across all of Texas – hardly a cloud to be found! We’ll have afternoon temperatures in the 50s across the northern third of Texas, 60s and 70s for the center row, and 70s and 80s for the southern third of Texas. High temperatures on Wednesday will top out in the 60s and 70s statewide. A warmup begins on Thursday, with temperatures warming a few degrees on Friday and Saturday.

Storm chances return Saturday into Sunday.

Scattered thunderstorm chances return Saturday afternoon to Northwest Texas and north into Oklahoma and Kansas. Some storms may be severe, with large hail and damaging winds. A line of thunderstorms is possible Saturday night into Sunday morning farther south into the Big Country, Concho Valley, and Edwards Pleateau as a cool front moves southeast.

Unlike yesterday, but more like last week, that line of storms may move east across the eastern half of Texas before moving into Louisiana. Some storms may be strong with gusty winds. Another storm system may bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to Texas on Monday Night and Tuesday of next week. The timing of that system will influence our eclipse weather.

Eclipse Viewing Forecast

There is a seventy to ninety percent chance of clouds for the southern half of Texas' eclipse viewing region; those probabilities are closer to 60 percent for the northern half. The opportunity for favorable viewing conditions is at 25 percent, and the 'highest' is in Northeast Texas

The Solar Eclipse weather forecast for Texas remains generally unfavorable, with cloud cover likely for the totality path. However, a few items make us slightly more optimistic than yesterday, and a few lower-probability scenarios could bring us better viewing conditions. There is a seventy to ninety percent chance of clouds for the southern half of Texas’ eclipse viewing region; those probabilities are closer to 60 percent for the northern half. The opportunity for favorable viewing conditions is at 25 percent, and the ‘highest’ is in Northeast Texas. Hopefully, we can continue to trend toward fewer clouds, or at least keep the low-level overcast at bay.

      Jackie Kirchhoff Strickland most forcasts are still showing scattered clouds until the afternoon so some areas in the cloudy area may still get a decent view of the eclipse we will know more as it gets closer to the day.
