#cawx folks. What is the plan for Saturday’s annnular (not total!) eclipse? I’m seeing a lot of places show “partially cloudy” for Saturday, even traditionally sunny cities like Chico and Modesto?

@22 Just so you know, there's no total eclipse this year. The one on Saturday is an annual (90% coverage) which is very different!

That said cleardarksky.com/c/ChicoObCAke has cloud cover forecasts by location. It's mainly for astronomy, but it does forecast day clouds! might be useful for location scouting.

@Doephin ohh thank you! We saw the total eclipse in 2017 and it would have been cool to compare it to an annular eclipse but this was a helpful reminder!

@22 Still worth seeing! it's just not gonna have that "wait did reality just break" effect heh

2017 was amazing
