Will it be cloudy during Monday's solar eclipse? Environment Canada seems to think so

Weather forecasts are predicting that cities along the path of totality during Monday's solar eclipse will have clouds that could obstruct the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event.
Weather forecasts are predicting that cities along the path of totality during Monday's solar eclipse will have clouds that could obstruct the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event.
Environment Canada's forecast shows there are currently no cities in either southern or eastern Ontario that will be cloud-free on April 8.
"Nowhere in southern Ontario is expected to be cloud-free on Monday, so follow your local forecast closely!" Environment Canada said in a social media post.
The question remains whether the cloud cover will be patchy enough to view the eclipse.
The forecast for eastern Ontario cities such as Ottawa, Cornwall, Brockville and Kingston currently show a mix of sun and clouds with double-digit temperatures.
Belleville could be fully obstructed from the eclipse – the forecast currently shows overcast skies throughout the day.
While forecasts show cloud cover, conditions can change quickly and are often hard to predict.
