From Mexico to Maine, if you're in a city where the total solar eclipse will grace the skies Monday afternoon, cloud coverage may dampen your view.

Mazatlan, Mexico, will have low clouds through the morning. The clouds will begin to break by the afternoon, but the weather may still be mostly cloudy at the time of the total eclipse.

Del Rio, Texas, is forecast to have mostly cloudy skies, so eclipse viewing weather won't be ideal. There's a chance to see the eclipse in Dallas, where the skies will be partly cloudy with some passing clouds.

Along the path of totality in Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the forecast has improved in recent days.

The forecast calls for good eclipse viewing in Carbondale, Illinois, with mostly clear skies and a few passing clouds. Similarly, Indianapolis will have a good view with lots of sun and a few thin clouds.

In Niagara Falls, New York, the weather will be mostly cloudy with an isolated shower is possible, making it hard to see the eclipse.

Meanwhile, Houlton, Maine, will have sunny skies -- and will be the best place to see the eclipse in all of North America.

A total solar eclipse is passing over North America on April 8, creating a path of totality that will cast some parts of Mexico, the United States and Canada in darkness.

During a total solar eclipse, which is a rare celestial event, the moon passes between the sun and Earth. The moon slowly covers and, for a brief period, completely blocks the face of the sun.

In the U.S., the path of totality begins in Texas and will travel through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Some parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse, according to NASA.
