Won't be seen below Illinois

The states with the best chance of viewing the aurora include much of Alaska, as well as the northern portions of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. Other states that fall along the aurora's projected view line include parts of Washington, Idaho, Wisconsin and Michigan, according to the NOAA forecast (see below).

We're getting an inch of rain tonight so we won't be seeing squat.

Amazing how the signs and portents in the heavens are displaying these last few years.

100% cloud cover currently. Doubt we will see much.

I'll check it out if Roy needs pee tonight.

I worked in Alaska 6 years. I have seen them a lot. Sleep sounded like a better idea. And I am too far south to see them anyway.

 

[Silver]

I've lived under them for 54 years. A good light show is still awe inspiring.

 

[chevytaHOE5674]

I agree they are common place UP here. But when there's a good show its worth staying up to watch.

I agree when you are far enough north for them to fill the sky they are spectacular. But further south they are just a glimmer in the northern sky. For people who have never seen them it is something. But when you have seen the real thing many times it is hard to get excited about the possibility of seeing a glimmer.
