Cumulus clouds, the puffy white cotton-candy kind, are called "fair weather" clouds. They form (via condensation) when there's some rising moisture, with a bit of heat coming from the ground. And when that cools off, they disappear.
So when the ground cools off as the eclipse shadow approaches, they disappear.
If you watched the recent total solar eclipse, did you notice that? Obviously it depends on where you were.
