A total solar eclipse will take place on April 8 and most of Western New York will be in the path of totality.
The eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime event for most people and officials are expecting visitors from near and far to travel to the region to view the eclipse.
While it's too early to forecast the weather for April 8, our weather team has taken a look back at the cloud cover on April 8 since 2006.
