The National Weather Service has predicted that the weather for eastern Pennsylvania will be clear all day on Monday. Here is the sky cover prediction:

The path of the total solar eclipse stretches from Lincoln Beach, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina. In this swath, the moon will completely cover the sun.

When this occurs, the sun's atmosphere, known as the corona, will be visible, according to AccuWeather. Outside of the path of totality, observers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania will see a partial eclipse.

AAA Mid-Atlantic, meanwhile, released a statement saying it hopes that New Jerseyans and Pennsylvanians "will remember safety first" if they choose to drive during the eclipse, and warned motorists about getting distracted.
