In just a few hours, millions of Americans will be turning their heads to the sky to get a glimpse at the total solar eclipse. The moon will begin to block out the sun a little before 1:30 p.m. Central time in Eagle Pass, Texas. The moon will then move across the country through Maine. Cities and counties across the U.S. are holding watch parties and celebrations for the event. But weather in certain parts of the United States may play a role in how visible the eclipse will be.
