Gov. Kathy Hochul will be coming home to Western New York for the eclipse next week. Her office confirms that she will be in Niagara Falls for the celestial event on April 8.

In addition to the governor, hundreds of thousands of people are set to travel to the region to take in this spectacle in the sky. 

The Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition, otherwise known as NITTEC, are keeping a close eye on the roads. There are already warning messages out on area highway signs.

Officials have been telling local residents for weeks now to stay home and watch the eclipse. But if you do head out on April 8, keep an eye on those highway signs for important messages before and after totality.

As for the weather come April 8, after several days of gray, damp and dreary weather, skies will clear out this Sunday. A weakening warm front will bring in some high clouds on Monday. However, because they're high and thin, we'll still at least have a partial view of the eclipse. You can watch Dan Russell's full solar eclipse forecast here.
