They certainly didn't vanish for me in Cornwall in 1999. I hope you have better luck in the US in April!

Probably high altitude clouds. An eclipse isn't going to make clouds vanish that are the result of a larger weather pattern.

The air cools down so the warm moist air settles as it cools. As a result, clouds stop developing.

Yup, any astrological phenomenon seems to attract clouds here. The red arrows too.
