HOUSTON – We are hearing some bad news from our fellow weather folks that skies may not be clear during the historical and rare solar eclipse event on April 8.
Things don’t look good for Texas as a large area of low pressure north of Tokyo, Japan may cause a problem. During the next seven days it will slowly move into the United States possibly parking itself west of Texas next Monday.

If the low is in this position, clouds and possibly rain will ruin this solar eclipse for the state of Texas.
How would the sky look? The worst-case scenario is from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. April 8th we have low stratus clouds. These clouds will completely block out the sun and your total solar eclipse experience will be hopeless. It will get dark during totality, but it will be similar to what it looks like when a strong storm is getting close.
So, what’s a Texan to do if this is the case?
