Solar Eclipse Forecast Dallas | WC Blogs

The forecast for Eclipse Day continues to be partly to mostly cloudy, unfortunately. Widespread upper cloud cover is almost certain during the eclipse. However, dense low clouds are still in question. Currently, there is a medium chance that DFW will experience low dense clouds which would for sure obstruct the solar eclipse. How far north these clouds will advance is still uncertain. Due to the development of severe weather possible for the metroplex on Monday and Tuesday, chances of good visibility still remain fairly low. Even if the skies are cloudy, still plan on watching the eclipse! It won’t ever be worth skipping an event like this even if conditions aren’t optimal.

Be sure to NEVER look at the sun without adequate eye protection with solar glasses. Looking at a solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage.
