San Antonio may be lousy spot to view eclipse due to cloud cover

San Antonio and South Texas are shaping up to less than ideal places to view Monday, April 8's highly anticipated total solar eclipse, according to the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service. Despite Kendall County declaring a state of disaster over how many visitors it's expecting to get, folks paying upwards of $1,000 a night in Austin and fringe Christian groups anticipating the return of Jesus Christ, the cloud cover in Texas means many of us won’t be able to see much of anything. Citing data from the National Weather Service, Express-News meteorologist Anthony Franze reported there’s more than a 75% chance of cloud cover during the Monday's event.
