People in cities around the path are spending the weekend getting ready for eclipse day hoping the roads in the sky it will be clear. Experts are warning about the dangers of looking directly at it. The worst Case Scenario is losing vision or becoming blind from it. That is really because when you are looking at and it clips the harmful Uv Light Rays can damage the sensitive tissue of the eyes.

Former nasa astronaut is here who will be giving us his take heat beat moving to ohio to witness his fourth Solar Eclipse in person. Well talk about that but first live team fox News Coverage meteorologist Adam Klotz Fox weather steve morgan is live in dallas. Lets begin with a max gordon live in a hyatt with the very latest there. We are right on The Path Of Totality i have got those eclipse glasses on hands, going to need these before we reach totality. That will happen at 3 13 p. M. Local time lasting four minutes until 317 local time. The big question everybody has his will Mother Nature play along . Will she play nice . Clouds could mess up the viewing of the Solar Eclipse. Theres a lot of people in town to view it. One guy i talked to from North Carolina said he is just happy to be here no matter what happens. Take a listen. Even if it is super cloudy i think well still see since we are in The Path Of Totality will see it turning dark i think. I think youll still be cool regardless. When that moon complete blocks out the sun essentially looks like it turned tonight for a bit and i am just really excited to see that. Books and multiple events will be happening in downtown this weekend but of course on monday to commemorate the eclipse according to the city between 140,200,000 people are expected to grow to parks in the Downtown Area as this eclipse occurs a break to put things in perspective the city said the crowd expected will be as of three br browns games are goinn simultaneously. Here in cleveland the Sworn Police Officers will be working to manage crowds response to calls for service. Delete numerous road closures people are being urged to work from home on the clip stay to ease with the congestion limiteds cell service is going to be an issue with so many people gathered downtown and to add to all of this the guardians home opener is going to be occurring at 5 10 p. M. Eastern. A lot is going be going on here downtown cleveland. Live by the lake, max thank you and of course the fox weather this information for latest news, weather, Forecast Stream fox weather on your favor connected device it is free by the way. Hotel rooms are full by and large downtown. We have 35000 rooms a city wide. Which is great from an Economic Impact standpoint. Arthel Eclipse Walkers will be descending on dallas it is right in The Path Of Totality. But, Mother Nature could literally rain on the parade lets go to fox weather Steven Morgan who is live in dallas. So steven, how is it looking for that particular time of day when we need everything to be clear at All Systems Go . Right. You say correct saturday and sunday if we could have it this afternoon or tomorrow it would be fantastic. But monday is when were hoping those clouds stay away. The going forecast we just heard from my colleague Max Gordon Up in cleveland there will be clouds al on this path of total. When we consider the time of year perhaps it should not be a big surprise but you look back it records a 20 or 30 years worth of data early april features sunny skies which is what we have here in dallas. Its really tough to predict the three or four minutes. Keep in mind theres a lot more is going to be happening on monday. Dallas is the largest city in the path out of the 31 and a half a Million People in The Path Of Totality, more than 12 Million People live in the state of texas. That is the most but that is locals officials are estimating an additional 400,000 have picked dallas as their city to view the eclipse. Downtown hotels are booked. I have a feeling that spreading and more and more hotels are being booked. So 99 capacity is what hotels are dealing with right now. No vacancy in a lot of spots good luck finding a room if youre still trying to make that decision. Another option would maybe be camping but 90 of Camping Spots have been claimed so even choosing to rough it is limited one thing thats not tough to find eclipse parties. In the city of dallas nearly a dozen are being hosted by thousands expected to attend some have even sold out but theres still plenty of other options for you get outside the city of dallas because its not just the big metroplex we could be seeing this big event. We are to a smaller town Business Leaders were gearing up for two. Theres been a lot of buzz and start a couple months ago. We expect it to be more than a onedaone day thing with travels coming in. We are really pumped. We are hoping for the best. But kind of at the same time overwhelmed by the possible numbers and how you negotiate that. And i echo what barbara says. Its going to be hard to negotiate a lot of people expected to arrive in dallas but lets just hope the clouds stay away. Back to you. C4 steven where you going to be . We are expecting to set up at the cotton bowl if you are familiar with dallas it is east dallas its for the Texas State Fair is held. Thats going to be a free event open to the public. It is a ticketed events with the see the mass of people expected to come out is just one opportunity that you have. How rare it is for a city to get under one of the two paths of totality on average it comes on once every 350 year old for a specific location on planet earth. And dallas, the biggest city in the path. Big d. Theres a lot of anticipation no doubt. Fox weather Steven Morgan there and dallas. Thank you so much. That is for sure what can bee expect when it turned dark in the day . Former nasa astronaut Professor Emeritus of engineering at Carnegie Mellon university pittsburgh. Jays going be traveling to ohio to witness. This is your fourth Solar Eclipse. They are breathtaking, they are aweinspiring give us a sense you have seen for them what it is like to experience it when the sun gets blanked out. When youwould actually see Te Atmosphere Around The Sun the universe is just showing its beauty to you. It is fantastic. Seeing beautiful streamers coming out of the sun. Occasionally they because of bad weather here on the earth. Bad weather for satellites seeing the energetic particles as they come out of the sun when it is total is the most phenomenal thing you can imagine. Heres my wife and i traveled down to nashville in 2017 to see it. We were fortunate enough to see the beauty of the universe that day. Even if it is cloudy, just knowing you have Darkness At Noon or 3 00 p. M. In the afternoon is aweinspiring but something out of the ordinary puts the magic back in the world. Eric back in 1963 went up to maine Cadillac Mountain the highest point on the east coast is where the sun first hits the unitUnited States of america evy morning. You mention we will still get that affect of the complete darkness. Yes. It is wonderful. The temperature will drop it will be fabulous. This is about the most active the sun ever gets every 11 years. On the laptop over my shoulders you see that no images of the sun is looking pretty active. Last monday a few days ago at mass ejection thats imbued fortunately not in our direction tremendous particles and xrays. The graphic you are showing now is wonderful but it does not show the beauty you can see right around the sun. Even the one youve got up now here i is so good at picking up the wonderful streamers going on. Just sit back and look at the magic of the universe. Eric in a intercourse where te special glasses. Take them off when the sun is completely blocked. Your eyes really good at that point. Where there when the sun is like that when it is a crescent but when it is completely dark, take them off and look at the beauty. Eric is it okay to be scared of this . It is aweinspiring but gives you a sense of the universe. I imagine man thought the world was ending or something . [laughter] back as far as the egyptians and the babylonians people figured out the cycles and they use those to scare their rulers into doing what they wanted. If you dont we are going to make it dark. And of course the ruler did and they made it dark. [laughter] and Soap Mathematics is good its also ancient. But seeing the clockwork of the universe is just beautiful weve got a chance to do it. Eric we do an excellent 20242024print why so far away . The shadow of the moon casts a path somewhere on the earth every year end a half or so. But, the earth is a pretty big the surface area of the earth is huge. On so your chances of being where that little tiny shadow is cast is just not very good and we are lucky this time. Eric we are look forward to it on monday former nasa astronaut carnegie melon and of course enjoy the eclipse on monday it will be following up with you, thank you. Arthel the question is will it be happy viewing for the millions of traveling to witness the eclipse in its totality . As we mentioned earlier, klotz could be a problem in some states. Fox weather meteorologist adam klotz is here. I am holding my breath whats the answer sir . It is fair to hold your breath or m remembers only a for minute window you ultimately need which is impossible at this point to really forecast will there be clouds are the four minute window . We can give you an idea whats happening on a larger scale, where the be more cloud cover in the area where there will be less cloud cover. Typically it is april it is a rainy time of year. So unfortunately this is the time of season you do see a little more cloud cover. We are expecting a low Pressure System off the gulf coast impacting large portions of texas. More cloud cover they are in by the end of the day this would not be during the eclipse, we have an area it right to the Heart Of Texas where storms are unlikely. Probably a little later in the day but the be a lot of extra folks in this region note that we could see some Severe Weather by the end of the day on monday but we continued to follow this a little further to the north and as of right now we are looking at Better Weather conditions across the midwest from Southern Illinois running right to the heart of indiana, indianapolis, for now its looking clear we continued to follow the path up a little more cloud cover you get over the great lakes but into interior new england again looking fairly nice in maine also looking really nice. Theres still time for this to change but these are the trends we are currently seeing. Arthel Fox Weather Meteorologist adam klotz thank you red fox news of course well have special Total Eclipse coverage on monday so keep it right here for all of the latest before, during, and after this rare and spectacular event.

Eric former President Trump kicking offspring of fundraising to admit filled with mega donors hosted by a Hedge Fund Billionaire parade this is happening in palm beach, florida. Mr. Trump expected to raise more than 40 million in one evening. That would top the 26 million President Biden raised. New york city fundraiser last week. Madison is alive in palm beach outside of maralago the events being held at a donors mansion nearby. Height medicine, what you expect tonight . Hello eric. This massive fundraiser at a private Palm Beach Home is a really big deal but as far as money goes, Trumps Campaign is behind its competition. Trump is working to close a big Fundraising Gap with biden who raised 187 million so far this year. The president also has more cash on hand. The Campaign Announced today it has 192 million the most a democratic candidate has ever raised at this point in the election cycle. Trump has a 93 million cash on hand. There are expected to be some big names you have a lot of money there tonight. Hedge Fund Billionaire jon paulson is hosting tonights event along with oil tycoon harold hamm. Casino mogul steve wynn, New York Jets coowner woody johnson, a whole lot more major republican donors. Team biden harris is calling tonights event a cashstrapped operation to pay off trumps legal fees. They go on to say trump is cozying up to billionaires instead of attracting grassroot donors. Experts say both candidates face many challenges as the election is closer. Trump is a huge problem which is there is an enormous hole in his money boat. It is his legal fees theres a whole bunch of his money goes. Biden has a slightly more complicated problem which is its not just trump is running against these also running its rfk junior, jill stein, maybe others. Donations from the fundraiser will go toward trump campaign, rnc state gop parties and a pack that does help pay his legal bills. Trump Campaign Spokesperson says the pack also covers expenses that are not just legal fees and this is the start of trumps and new Fundraising Push will be in georgia on wednesday a Battleground State he has only been to want so far this year. And then he is more events scheduled for again here in florida and in pennsylvania back to you. Alright mall right madison am beach thank you. Arthel madison eric thank you and i will bring in a Lauren Wright associate Research Scholar and a lecturer in politics and Public Affairs at princeton. So do you think trump is going to have a Fundraising Problem . And if you think donations will be there, do you foresee any challenges to trumps fundraising . Messaging, yes but financially i really dont see a problem here. He is the gop nominee essentially it now. All of the trouble he had and the last few months splitting up donors with nikki haley, they will likely coalesce behind him in fact many arty have. And so as we get closer to the election a lot of these ultra wealthy donors will think about the alternative they will say to the
