The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is predicting a geomagnetic storm for Wednesday and Thursday of this week (July 12th & 13th). Strong northern lights may be visible between 10 PM and 2 AM in parts of the northern US, especially from points of high elevation, clear views of the northern horizon and low light polution.
I saw the northern lights for the first time in MN this past winter (just moved here and out to the country). It was breathtaking. Something I’ve wanted to see my entire life and it did not disappoint. Makes me want to go further North to see it better.
Me too! Happened to see it in Connecticut when I was a teenager, totally took me by surprise. Space weather apps were definitely not a thing at the time.
