Sign up for the Morning Brief email newsletter to get weekday updates from The Weather Channel and our meteorologists.

Today's total solar eclipse is the first widespread one in the Lower 48 states since 2017 and the last one until 2044.

W​e're here to help track the weather with a series of maps below, including where clouds and rain are right now. We're also expecting some temperature drops and winds to diminish in the zone of totality. Scroll down through our national and regional maps, with the path indicated on each map by the southwest to northeast arcing swath.

Temperatures

Temperatures should drop anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees in the path of totality, assuming skies are clear. Those drops will be less in areas of cloud cover. Here are some current temperature maps, which may pick up the contrast in temperatures from the path of totality compared to surrounding areas.

Winds

T​he so-called "eclipse wind" may also occur today. You may see winds lighten as the moon progressively covers more of the sun. This is described in detail in our previous piece from meteorologist Jonathan Belles.
