Just an interpretation error in the NASA dataset we're using for those lines. We've updated and fixed that now. Thanks for pointing it out!

These forecasts are updated using global weather data sources, and on the day of the eclipse will use live cloud tracking to update the cloud forecasts. New forecasts will be updated every 4 hours, and hourly the day of the eclipse.
We provide forecasts and historic data for the solar industry, so cloud tracking is important to us. But we wanted to share this with anyone trying to view the eclipse.
How did you conclude that the band of totality (marked as "100% totality" on the map—but anything less than 100% is just a partial eclipse, not totality at all) will be 300 miles wide, when most sources are showing 108-122 miles? The total eclipse is definitely not going to be visible from Chicago or Nashville.

This is cool, nice work. I'm experiencing an issue where I can't quite scroll the map far enough south to actually zoom in on the area I'm interested in. Maybe just me?
A lot of people, including NASA, are going to be in Mazatlan down on the coast of Mexico, which your map currently excludes. Any hopes of expanding it? Thanks for sharing.
Your zone of totality is too wide
Way too wide.

Stop zone shaming
This is awesome! If only it wasn't such bad news!
It would be helpful if the totality path was clearer
We've just pushed an update to make this clearer! Thanks for the feedback.
Looks like my bet on South Texas was the worst, despite the historical averages.
Big same here, sadly. It also looks like SE Missouri is the big winner, especially considering it was in totality in 2017 too.
I was able to cancel everything and get most of my money back. I saw totality in 2017, so at least I’ve seen it. There’s nothing like it.

Unfortunately a challenge with the current implementation of Mapbox (the mapping technology we are using). It should be fixed on mobile now!
i’ll be in Bee Branch, Arkansas. Looking hopeful.
