The National Weather Service in Buffalo has given a cautious prediction on whether Buffalo residents will be able to witness the upcoming total eclipse. In a recent post on their social media platform, the weather service stated that it will be a close call for the city.

According to the weather service, the region is experiencing a gradual clearing of mid-level and high-level clouds, moving from southwest to northeast. This is raising hopes for a potential window of opportunity for residents to view the celestial event.

The partial eclipse is expected to begin shortly after 2 p.m., with the total eclipse slated to start at 3:18 p.m. The total eclipse is expected to last for nearly four minutes, offering residents a rare and highly anticipated celestial spectacle.

Earlier forecasts had indicated cloudy skies for the eclipse day, dashing hopes for an unobstructed view. However, forecasters at the National Weather Service have held onto the possibility of some areas in Buffalo having the chance to witness the moon passing across the sun without any interference from clouds.

The weather service's prediction comes with a note of caution, emphasizing that it will indeed be a close call for Buffalo. As residents prepare themselves for this astronomical event, they will need to keep a close eye on the weather conditions that may determine whether they will witness the total eclipse firsthand or settle for a partial view.

As the anticipation builds up, Buffalo residents will be keeping their fingers crossed for the clearing of clouds in time for them to witness this rare and captivating event. The National Weather Service will continue to monitor the weather conditions closely and provide updates as the eclipse draws nearer.

While the possibility of catching a glimpse of the total eclipse remains uncertain, the excitement surrounding this celestial phenomenon remains high, and the residents of Buffalo are eagerly awaiting August X, hoping for a spectacular display in the skies above.
