“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.”
