Speedskater Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 At 11AM it's 61°F and Not A Cloud In Sight near the Lake Erie shore. But a thin haze layer. How long will it last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear skies in CLE. Satellite looks great. Maybe some high clouds later. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-LakeErie-02-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 A total solar eclipse will occur in October 2153 and Cedar Rapids will be in the exact center of totality. I wish we could move that up by 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Stationed near Franklin, IN.As expected, have had high clouds this morning and afternoon here, varying between scattered to overcast at ~30,000KFT.Looks like the thicker stuff should be out of the way in time for totality.

Pretty neat and eerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 We had one last vestige of low clouds move in (they have since mixed back out), but fortunately not before the start & finish of totality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedskater Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 At Lakewood Park, the eclipse was great, but only one star was visible thru thin clouds. The young next door TV meteorologist was doing live broadcasts for his station 220 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I stayed put and got to over 99.5%. I understand that traffic is bonkers with people heading north from the path of totality in the southern part of the county. Gridlock.

buckeye Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Totally lucked out. Blue sky with some wispy cirrus Had 45 seconds of total where you could look without glasses. It sounds obvious but it got much darker than I expected probably because I had only seen partial eclipses in the past and always expected those to be darker. Crickets started chirping street lights came on and you could hear people cheering in the distance. Bucket list checked without having to leave my yard. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It worked out nicely here. I figured that I could not really avoid the cirrus clouds by driving a short distance or even a possibly long distance, so I stayed in town. The weird part is that the cirrus clouds were generally fine, but looked like dark storm clouds during totality. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbuster Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The temperature drop near Stow, OH was noticeable. Really shows how something blocking the sun (Super volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts) can really affect the temperature and fast. I was disappointed that it didn't get darker, and I disliked the douches blowing off fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought the sky would go completely dark. As soon as it went total you could already see the sky brightening off to the southwest. I wonder if it would have been darker if the high clouds wouldn't have been around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Surprisingly pricy though.Yeah but to be fair it’s a cool place in a tourist area. Anyways, here are my photos from west of Fremont, Ohio at the family farm. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Was sweating the cirrus here in Cleveland but it was thin enough that you could see through them enough to see all the cool stuff. Had the 360 degree sunset effect on the horizons with the cirrus adding some color. Briefly saw a couple of planets. Bats came out, streetlights came on. It was about as dark as it is immediately when the sun sets I would say. Seeing the corona and some solar flares was awesome. The difference in the amount of light between a 99% eclipse and totality was impressive. As soon as even the smallest bit of the sun came out from behind the moon the light noticeably increased. Overall I'd say it exceeded my expectations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
