CLEVELAND — It's a question many of you have been asking: What is the weather forecast for the solar eclipse in Northeast Ohio?
As the big moment finally arrives with various Northeast Ohio areas in the path of totality -- like Cleveland and Akron -- the 3News weather team continues tracking the latest weather forecast updates, which we have in the video at the top of this story.
The good news? This morning's rain is moving out, leaving us with clearing skies as we head into the afternoon.
“For us, we have high clouds around," 3News' Senior Meteorologist Matt Wintz said in his latest forecast from early Monday morning. "Still should get a great view. It’s just going to be kind of obscured a little bit. But then you get out toward the east, that’s where we’ll have some lingering low-level cloud chances. Those are the ones we don’t want. We may have them out in Ashtabula, Trumbull and Geauga County as it moves through. Either way, most of us should be able to see it pretty nicely. Best chance is going to be out towards the west as we get those clearing skies.”
