With less than a week until the total solar eclipse, Pennsylvania and Maine are predicted to have the best viewing conditions. Long range forecasts call for clouds, thunder and rain for Western states like Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Houlton, the last U.S. stop along the 115-mile wide path of totality, is slated for sun and clear skies on Monday. Eclipse crowds rivaling the size of a rock concert were already predicted for the small Aroostook County town. Now, with a sunny forecast, the number of visitors may grow beyond expectations.
