Follow up: I went to Cape Girardeau, and morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun, and we had a beautiful eclipse. 1200 mile drive was so worth it.

While I have not done the calculations myself, I am assuming it is happening. I am driving 11 hours to go see which cloud is going to mess with me.

I am a few hours drive away in West Virginia. Texas, historically, is the best choice in terms of weather. I have Cleveland, Missouri, and Arkansas as my spots.
