Some clouds will dissipate, some will not. A storm will not dissipate because of an eclipse, let’s put it that way. It’d be sick as fuck, and probably freak everyone the fuck out, but it wouldn’t happen.

There’s an interesting phenomena that happens when there’s a solar eclipse, the clouds clear out shortly before the eclipse begins.
Not sure if it’s consistent or why that happens at all, but that was my experience with it during the last eclipse.

Yeah. Wasn’t a storm, just cloudy.
After reading a bit about it, it seems low level cumulus clouds will clear due to the shifting weather, due to the onset of colder climate of the sun being partially blocked, those clouds clear out and basically vanish by the time the solar eclipse starts.
Won’t work on storms or such, but if it’s just cloudy, by the time the eclipse is in full force, you get a clean view.

Sounds like the phenomenon is you being the luckiest bastard under the sun!
