According to eclipse meteorologist Jay Anderson on his website eclipsophile.com, the odds of clear skies in South Carolina are fair. If you want to see totality in South Carolina, be prepared to quickly relocate based on cloud conditions. If the weather forecast the day before is not favorable, strongly consider driving to an adjacent state within the path with a better forecast. A pro-active eclipse chaser can increase her odds of success by studying the short-term weather forecast before eclipse day and being prepared to relocate if necessary. That being said, it is very possible that you can successfully see totality in South Carolina.

South Carolina will be a significant destination for the eclipse because it will be the nearest spot within the path of totality for at least 100 million Americans in the Atlantic Seaboard and Florida.
