**UPDATED at 8:00 AM on the day of the Eclipse, Monday April 8th**
Good Morning, Central Texas. Welcome to the day of the Great American Eclipse.
What has changed today? Not much. We have both upper level cirrus clouds in place as well as low clouds surging in along with gulf moisture; you can feel the balmy air when you step outside currently.
- The big question is still: Will ANY of us in Central Texas have enough breaks in the clouds to be able to view the sun? Likely only a lucky few of us. Better conditions are present to the north vs. the south.
- Currently it does look possible to see a couple of breaks here in there, but very spotty in general.
Cloud cover is most dense in our southeastern counties, with lessening coverage to the northwest.
What time should you look up at the sky?
-Lampasas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:18 PM CST; Total begins at 1:35, ending at 1:40. Partial eclipse ends 2:58.
-Killeen: Partial eclipse begins at 12:19 PM CST; Total begins at 1:36, ending at 1:41. Partial eclipse ends 2:59.
-Waco: Partial eclipse begins at 12:21 PM CST; Total begins at 1:38, ending at 1:42. Partial eclipse ends 3:01.
Nationally, there will be a mix of clouds and sun with the best conditions expected in the far northeast portions of the path of totality.
WE ARE NOW IN WEATHER AWARE MODE FOR BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW, DUE TO THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AFTER THE ECLIPSE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.
Today: AFTER the Eclipse, you can expect isolated to scattered Thunderstorms to develop to our Southeast, traveling North throughout the late afternoon and evening hours. All modes of Severe weather will be possible including gusty winds, large hail and a couple of tornadoes. The same threats will exist tomorrow morning through tomorrow evening for Central Texas.
Here is a look at our current 7 day forecast.
