 April 8 Cloud cover forecast from the National Weather Service, Cleveland

By Paula Pyzik Scott

The day of the total solar eclipse is here and as of 6:00 a.m. in Bluffton (where I live) you wouldn’t know it. On Sunday, April 7, downtown Bluffton seemed much like any other Sunday, except for a few more shops being open.

According to an April 7 report from Hometown Stations, the Allen County EMA expects the greatest traffic congestion to be centered on areas with hotels. 

The National Weather Service Forecast Office for Cleveland expects sky cover at the 3:00 p.m. hour to be 31% in the Icon readership area. 

TIME FRAME
In the 45810 and 45817 area codes, the Duration of Totality–when the moon will totally cover the sun–will be 3 minutes and 47 seconds, from approximately 3:10-3:14 p.m. The sky will begin to darken at 1:55 p.m. and return to normal at 4:26 p.m.

EYE SAFETY
The longest-lasting potential impact of the eclipse is eye damage. Looking directly at the sun can result in serious and permanent eye injury.

Playing at home on April 6, the Ada High School softball team swept Arlington in a doubleheader by the combined total of 26-3 on a sunny but cool day at War Memorial Park.

Ada won the opener 15-1 and also took the nightcap 11-2.

The Bulldogs improved to 5-1 with the dominating sweep. The Red Devils fell to 1-4 after the defeats.

“It was nice to get a couple more wins,” said Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “I thought we ran the bases well.”

The Bulldogs jumped in front 4-0 in the opener after one inning, and were never threatened. Three Arlington errors and a Karley Wagner single keyed the frame.
