As long as the clouds don't get in the way.

The total solar eclipse is when the moon will block the face of the sun, casting a shadow over North America. Millions of people will have the opportunity to watch on Monday afternoon, April 8 just after 2 p.m.

According to AccuWeather lead long-range forecaster Paul Pastelok, there is some concern clouds could move through Pennsylvania and New York around the time of the eclipse.

"There is even a possibility of a passing shower," Pastelok said. "This could lower viewing opportunity for a couple of hours."

The National Weather Service says Monday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 63, and some clouds in the sky during the solar eclipse.
