The big weather question for many moving into Monday is how visible the solar eclipse will be.
Solar Eclipse 2024

Here's our guide on what to expect, when to expect it, and how to view the eclipse.
Despite last week’s winter temperatures and rain, Monday’s forecast in the L.A. region is expected to be mostly clear, especially for those in the mountains and desert areas, according to the National Weather Service.
“Overall, it's looking like it's going to be a generally good viewing session for the solar eclipse,” said Mark Moede, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in San Diego.

Temperatures will remain cool Monday morning and quickly rise as the sun comes up, as is typical for Spring. For coastal areas, Moede said to expect possible low marine layer clouds in the morning and around sunrise for the inland valleys.
“Those are anticipated to dissipate through the morning and essentially be mostly gone for the viewing session between, say, 10 a.m. or 11 a.m.”
There will be scattered high clouds throughout the day, but they shouldn’t impair any Angelenos’ view of the eclipse.
According to Moede, the L.A. Basin and Orange County areas should see highs between 70 and 75 degrees, with coastal areas ranging more in the mid to high 60s on Monday.
Folks in places to experience a total eclipse, like Texas and New England, will feel a drop in temperature as the sun disappears for a few minutes, said Moede. Here, in Los Angeles, changes to temperature during the eclipse will be more subdued, if noticeable at all.
