FOX Weather's Guide to Viewing Today's Total Solar Eclipse Across America

Takeaways:

• A total solar eclipse is occurring on Monday, April 8, 2024, crossing over more than a dozen states from Texas to Maine, with cities like Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo along the path of totality.

• The next total solar eclipse visible in parts of the Lower 48 states will not occur until 2044.

• FOX Weather has been providing daily updates on the forecast for the eclipse, noting that the northeastern part of the path may have clearer skies, while the southwestern end, particularly Texas, might experience more cloud cover.

• It is unsafe to look directly at the eclipse without proper protection, such as special solar glasses or a pinhole camera, except during the brief period of totality if you are directly in its path.

• Severe weather, including a risk of thunderstorms, is expected in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, which could impact viewing conditions and travel for those observing the eclipse.
