Can you use a welding helmet to look at the eclispe without burning your corneas?

Somebody teased y'all by saying we were done with the 90's. I checked my station data for the month and it said we have had 6 days in a row of 90 or over, with yesterday bumping 98. Just to verify I plugged in to an archive site for Athens weather for August thus far and here's what I found.

We will start to cool off within the next several weeks. October looks promising for cooler temps.:fine:
Man its hot!!!!!

NASA / NOAA says that any welding goggles or helmets have to have a shade rating of a #12 at a minimum to look at the eclipse but highly recommends a #13 or #14 ideally.
I've heard others recommend higher shade ratings, but good luck finding them.

How the eclipse will effect temps in areas of 100% occlusion. From the N. Ga. Wx facebook page.

Summer isn't over yet folks. In fact this is typically the hottest period of the summer. Heed these warning signs, drink plenty of water and do not push yourself, or others if you are a rec league or school coach.

You can't forecast clouds, but you can speculate what may be. Here's the nam updated cloud cover guess for 15z on Monday (closest time to the eclipse)

And here's the precip map for the same period.
