I've done a bit of searching and can find nothing that corroborates your statement. If you could link me to a study or other data source showing a correlation between lunar eclipses and specific weather events, I would be interested.

Edit: As noted in a different comment, solar eclipses do impact weather: https://weather.com/science/space/news/2019-06-28-solar-ecli...

I think the OP was bemoaning the fact that the thunderstorms will prevent them from seeing the eclipse.

It’s a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse (which does affect weather to some degree).
