Based on historical weather and cloud coverage data, the best locations to go and see the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipses are inside the totality strip close to the Mexico/Texas border, both on the Mexican and US side. These locations in particular seem to be the most promising in absolute:

Melchor Múzquiz, Mexico
Allende, Mexico
Piedras Negras, Mexico
Eagle Pass, Texas
Kerrville, Texas
Fredericksburg, Texas
Lampasas, Texas

From these locations it will be possible to observe the eclipse with the longest totality duration (more than 4 minutes and 20 seconds) and with the highest probability of mostly clear skies (58/59% chances of mostly clear skies on the day of the eclipse). Many other locations in Mexico and Texas will in any case provide good chances of observing the eclipse, with a probability greater than 50% of having mostly clear skies.
