Eclipse enthusiasts across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada are hopeful for clear skies as they prepare for a rare total solar eclipse, facing challenges from cloudy forecasts.

Amidst concerns about cloudy weather, eclipse watchers in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada stake out spots for observing a total solar eclipse, an event not to return coast-to-coast for 21 years. The eclipse path stretches from Mexico's Pacific beaches to Canada's Atlantic shores, affecting 15 U.S. states.
