| KESQ-TV (Thousand Palms, CA) Verified
Monday's mostly clear skies should be ideal for viewing of the total solar eclipse. Since Southern California is not in the path of totality, expect a maximum view around 11:12 a.m. with the lower half of the sun hidden. As the day continues and we regain a full view of the sun, we'll also see winds switch directions. Offshore flow will bring in drier air from the north and widespread breezy conditions through the afternoon.
