Those traveling to Texas for eclipse praying Mother Nature cooperates
KHOU Chief Meteorologist David Paul says the weather is not looking good. The biggest problem he says is the cloud coverage. Those traveling to Texas for the April 8 eclipse are praying for Mother Nature to cooperate with the weather forecast, which is predicted to be rain and lots of cloud coverage on the day of the event. Houston Chief Meteorologist David Paul said the biggest concern is cloud coverage, which could pose a significant issue for those traveling. Marsha Bourque, a local geologist, has been anticipating the eclipse for several years and her husband, who started scouting viewing locations years ago.

TEXAS, USA — Those traveling to Texas for the April 8 eclipse are praying Mother Nature decides to take another route after forecast models predict rain and lots of cloud coverage the day of the big event.
Marsha Bourque, a local geologist, has been looking forward to the total eclipse in Texas for the past few years.
"I am getting chills every time I think about it," she said. "Every time you have that experience you want to try it again."
So far she’s seen two total eclipses -- the one in 1991 and the other in 2017. She has also caught several partial ones.
Her husband knows how important this upcoming eclipse is to her, which is why he started scouting viewing locations years ago.
"About four or five years ago he started going out every April, checking along the path for possible locations to stay," said Bourque.
They finally came up with a spot in Central Texas and reserved a hotel for their group of friends last year.
"We are traveling all the way to exotic Waco to see this one," said Bourque. "What we are not excited about is the weather forecast."
KHOU Chief Meteorologist David Paul says the weather is not looking good. The biggest problem he says is the cloud coverage.
"The models are saying the entire state, even to Arkansas...they’ll have cloud coverage as well," said Paul.
The best spot to watch it might actually have to be a plane ride away.
"Cloudy skies expected until you get to Maine," Paul said. "Get a ticket and go to Central Maine. Right now, that is the best chance in the whole United States of being cloud-free and seeing the eclipse."
