A total solar eclipse is set to cross through parts of Canada today, offering crowds in its path a dazzling view of the astronomical wonder. That is, if clouds don't get in the way.
A total solar eclipse is set to cross through parts of Canada today, offering crowds in its path a dazzling view of the astronomical wonder.
That is, if clouds don't get in the way.
Some popular viewing spots in the eclipse's path of totality could be under cloud cover, while areas in Quebec and Atlantic Canada are shaping up for good views.
While forecasts are subject to change and meteorologists urge eclipse chasers to check local conditions ahead of the big moment, here's how the cloud cover is shaping up for the day along the solar eclipse's path of totality.
Clear skies may be hard to come by in Ontario, but some areas are forecasted to fare better than others, said Sean Akiyama, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.
In an interview on Sunday, he said the best views are likely to come on the "extreme ends" of the total solar eclipse's path through Ontario, the province's most southwestern and eastern edges.
Southwestern Ontario, including Point Pelee National Park, are forecasted to see a mix of sun and cloud. But moving into the Hamilton-Niagara region and Toronto, the conditions get worse.
