Will the Oklahoma clouds cooperate on eclipse day? See the latest eclipse weather updates
Many eclipse-viewing hopefuls are feeling dismay at the potential for overcast weather the day of the upcoming total solar eclipse.
A small southeast portion of Oklahoma falls within the path of totality, where the moon will completely block out the sun for a few minutes, allowing onlookers to remove safety glasses and observe the sun's normally unseen corona shining through.
But what if clouds get in the way when the time comes?
Here's the latest updates on Oklahoma's eclipse viewing conditions.
