Updated eclipse forecast for Bloomington Indiana on April 8, 2024.

 




From the NWS:

Saturday night through Monday...

The first of two eastern Pacific systems will move into the northern
Plains Sunday and upper Midwest Monday as the high amplitude ridge
portion of the block gets broken down. Prefer the slightly further
west combination of the 00z ECMWF and ensemble means due to the
typical poorer handling of blocking patterns of the GFS. It looks
like an associated surface system will gradually lift northeast over
the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley next week. However, another southern
system will complicate things further, namely the evolution of a
complex surface pattern. In general, it looks like a warm front and
dry slot may be be spreading across from the southwest on eclipse
day. This should give some hope that enough clouds will scour by
Monday afternoon for viewing of the eclipse. Better chances for
convection will follow toward midweek as the second system gets
involved. Meanwhile, southerly flow ahead of the surface will ramp
up and allow for temperatures to quickly climb back to well above
normal with upper 60s and lower 70s possible Monday.
