While they will not obstruct the view, they could add a haze to the sky, making it more difficult to see the corona clearly during totality. Even with the potential for upper-level clouds, New England has one of the best forecasts in the country along the path of totality for viewing.

Sunny skies stay with us beyond the eclipse, Sea breezes will knock us back temp-wise by Tuesday and especially Wednesday. Wednesday clouds will start to build ahead of our Thursday, and Friday rain chances. Both days will be warmer in the upper 50s and low 60s but nicer outdoor days will return for next weekend.
