Looking ahead at the extended forecast for next week’s eclipse Michigan residents may feel uneasy.
Matt Gillen is a meteorologist for the National Weather Center in Gaylord. He said with rain currently in the west, there is potential for clouds Monday in Michigan.
“The potential is there for some cloud cover to interrupt the viewing. But as we get closer to the twenty first we’ll have a much better idea at the exact cloud cover for northern Michigan”.
Gillen said right now the forecast looks better for southern Michigan residents.
“It certainly looks better the further south and east you go. The system is moving in from the west so if you are to go certainly south and east your chances would be improving”.
Gillen said forecasters will have better confidence in the Eclipse forecast by Friday.
