April 8th, 2024-CLEVELAND, Ohio-The National Weather Service forecasts favorable conditions for Northeast Ohio during Monday’s total solar eclipse, though some areas may have less clear views due to morning clouds and possible light rain showers. Meteorologist Marty Mullen expects clouds to thin out by mid-to-late morning, especially west of Cleveland, ensuring good viewing conditions.
However, areas eastward, particularly from Lake County to Stark County, may have thicker cloud cover, potentially improving by the time of the eclipse. Temperatures are expected to range from 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, providing comfortable viewing. Cleveland and other Northeast Ohio areas will experience totality around 3:13 p.m. for about four minutes. The region won’t witness totality again until 2099, with the next total eclipse in the United States occurring on August 23, 2044.
