Folks have already looked at cloud cover a climatology for the 2024 solar eclipse. It looks something like this, with generally more cloud cover the farther east you go. Though now that this winter will likely be ENSO+, how does that affect the cloud cover climatology?

I used ERA5 cloud cover every 6 hours from April 1-15, 1940-2023. For the ENSO state, the February-April ONI≥0.4 is El Niño and ONI≤-0.4 is La Niña. (1/2)

I've been working on some code to plot geospatial data using WebGL in-browser. Here's my first release: https://github.com/tsupinie/autumnplot-gl

It's a little rough around the edges, and a bit limited in capability right now, but I hope to expand the capability in the future.

And here's a demo using some low-detail map tiles I've been working on, as well.

Over half the 00Z HREF members have SBCAPE >1000 J/kg near Houston tomorrow, and with hodographs like this from the 00Z NSSL WRF, that's a fairly hairy combo. The orientation of the QLCS on the Pacific front and presence of any pre-frontal storms will determine tornado potential.

UH tracks are generally shorter in the warm sector and longer to the north, so the most robust updrafts may be away from the surface-based instability. If I were in the area, I wouldn't want to bank on that, though!
