Is Austin any better?

Is there any place in the entire state of Texas in the path of totality that has any chance to see this thing?

Weather shows it will be cloudy in Austin as well. And San Antonio worse. Just go to Little Rock Arkansas

I am hearing its supposed to be a Thunderstorm. Ironic... it has been blue skies and sunny days for the past few weeks without a cloud in the sky and Lake Travis is running low and the one day that there is going to be a eclipse it decides to rain

I wish I could. Cannot. 1) Way too $$ to book, and 2) Need to arrive back in Houston no later than ~2am Tuesday to get passable sleep to go into work Tuesday morning.

The extent of Texas state borders (north or south) with Sat/Sun overnight stays in either Austin or DFW is what I can do.

That's the thing. The forecast is inconsistent.

NOAA/National Weather Service has DFW and North Texas mostly cloudy, with some breaks, but has the timing of the storm clouds from the SE could make or break it, but it has all other parts in Totality south of DFW, including all the way to Eagle Pass and Del Rio as overcast or worse than DFW

Accuweather has Austin/San Antonio as terrible with DFW marginal with hope - partly to mostly cloudy, but it had Del Rio bright and sunny.

Windy has both DFW and Eagle Pass being hopeful but not perfect with partly cloudy, but everything in between, including SA, Austin, Waco, as being lousy.

KHOU on the other hand is far more pessimistic than other sources, saying the entire country in totality is screwed except for Maine.

No, Houston is not in the totality area. Here's a site with a map you can play with https://nso.edu/for-public/eclipse-map-2024/
