August 21st, American Solar Eclipse, will you be watching?

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Yes, I live within the path of totality.  I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, though.  I might go to the minor league baseball stadium for a watch party followed by a game.

Anyone seen a national weather map? I sure don't want to drive to anywhere cloudy.

Summary

-Slightly iffy on the immediate Pacific coast, with some low fog possible for a couple miles inland, but it's starting to look better for it to burn off quickly
-Good conditions for everything else west of the Rockies
-Nebraska could be an issue, with the possibility for a stubborn batch of clouds to linger over the Northern Plains up to the Great Lakes.
-In Missouri, the further east you go, the better it looks right now.
-Very promising forecast for Illinois, Kentucky, and most of Tennessee (including Nashville, the largest city in the path).  A note of caution is that it will be very hot (93-95 degrees, probably feeling like over 100 in Tennessee, but it will cool off a bit when the sun starts to be covered by the moon- and the decreased sunlight will also discourage any random puffy fair-weather clouds)
-Carolinas: Hit or miss- There could be a couple thunderstorms, but there will also be plenty of breaks of sun.  The Tennessee caveats on the heat and fair weather clouds apply there as well.

Of course, this is all up in the air, and exact cloud movements can't really even be forecasted an hour out.

Here is a national map from some FakeNews: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/17/total-solar-eclipse-weather-forecast-as-of-aug-17/?utm_term=.44a4d6b9de1a

Just saw it in Nashville.  The weather was very clear, and you really don't get the full experience until you get into the 100% area, which was really cool to see.

We had thunderstorms rolling in here that blocked the sun.

sad!

At least I had the internet.

Apparently, the people who were watching downtown by the river had a freak cloud block the sun during totality.  Here, only a few miles away, I didn't see a cloud that blocked the sun for the entire time I was watching.  I decided not to go to the baseball stadium, but they missed part of totality due to the same cloud, but it moved away just in time for them to be able to see it.

I was watching in Nashville at the park by the capitol building, and the sun appeared through a hole in a big cloud just as it reached totality. Amazing experience.

Most of Nashville was clear, but there was that one big cloud near downtown.  I was west of downtown, so I had no issues.  At the Sounds' stadium, 10,000 people missed over half of totality before it finally moved away just in time.  Unfortunately, for the people downtown on Lower Broadway, they missed totality entirely.  Here, I didn't miss any of totality or the parts around it at all!
