Multi-day flood threat across parts of the South could impact eclipse travel
A level 1 of 4 threat of excessive rainfall from central Texas to northern Arkansas, including Dallas. Fortunately, the solar eclipse is expected to peak before 3 p.m. EDT (2 p.m. CDT) for the region, which is before the heaviest rainfall is set to begin.
Most of Little Rock retains a high chance of viewing the eclipse, according to the NWS office in Little Rock.
Dallas has less favorable conditions, considering there will be experiencing mostly cloudy skies and could see a slight chance of a shower during the eclipse.
Post-eclipse: While the heaviest rainfall is expected across the region after the eclipse, travelers to the city could see delays. The heaviest rainfall is expected to pick up Monday evening, where rainfall storm totals of 2-4 inches are possible.
Flood watches are currently in place for parts of eastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, southern Arkansas, and northern Louisiana beginning Monday afternoon. Watches could be expanded in the coming hours.
