Coastal Southern California clouds could obscure eclipse
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California coastal residents may want to head inland to ensure a chance of seeing Monday's eclipse.
The National Weather Service says a persistent marine layer will continue to bring night-through-morning low clouds and fog along the coast and extending into valleys.
The cause is the trough of low pressure that has been keeping the area's air mass cooler than normal.
Forecasters say the trough will wobble around the Southern California Bight, weakening the marine layer on Saturday, then strengthening the onshore flow of moist ocean air by Monday.
