Live solar eclipse views today from NASA, cameras in NYC and around the country

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Eyewitness News is providing multiple live solar eclipse views from locations across New York City and around the country.

The total solar eclipse crossing North America will darken skies along a path through Mexico, the United States and Canada.

The weather isn't looking good for a large part of the eclipse's path. Clouds could get in the way for a stretch of the route, with the heaviest clouds expected in parts of Texas.

Fifteen U.S. states get a chance to see the full eclipse, although just a small bit of Tennessee and Michigan are included. The length of totality varies by location.

The eclipse will begin just after 2:00 p.m. in the New York City area with skies darkening around 2:50 p.m. Peak coverage will be at 90 percent at 3:25 p.m. Skies will become brighter by 4:00 p.m.

Totality will last up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds in certain spots.

This eclipse will last almost twice as long, with an even wider audience, than the total solar eclipse that stretched coast-to-coast in the U.S. in 2017.
