Only if the total eclipse isn't clouded out in Texas. Unfortunately, a lot of the path of the total eclipse will be potentially cloudy. The best areas so far are Indiana/Ohio and Vermont/Maine. Out of three eclipses I have been to, one was clouded out. This is always a possibility with total eclipses. Is it worth the attempt? Oh, yes, absolutely yes!!! Because of my granddaughter's wedding, I will forego this particular eclipse. But there are some coming up in other countries that I will seek out for viewing. Good luck for everyone that will be trying for Monday's eclipse. May the sky clear for you at the time of totality.

Here in Texas, we have spent months in preparation for "The Great Texas Eclipse"...even the governor is on board and will allow the Eclipse to enter the US from Mexico. In light of our weather forecast, we are considering showing reruns of Matlock.

Remember, Totality will cross the US in under one hour, so stations to the NE will pick it up.

Yes, most people are unaware that the shadow travels at about 2000 mph. Even jets chasing the shadow cannot lengthen the view by more that a few minutes at the most. All the various broadcasting stations will have several cameras along the path. There should be a few that will get a view of totality.
