Severe storms expected in path of totality of Monday's solar eclipse

Nearly the entire eclipse's path of totality within Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas faces a severe weather risk beginning Monday afternoon. The hope is that the thunderstorms might hold off just long enough into the afternoon after the eclipse passes through the region. Even so, severe weather later in the afternoon and evening could catch travelers off guard in what is expected to be heavy traffic through the rest of the day as eclipse gazers head home.
