The states that will likely see the natural light phenomenon, known as the Aurora Borealis, are Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a Kp index of four on a scale of nine was forecasted for Saturday night. That number signifies that the northern lights will be “quite pleasing to look at” since they will be brighter, and come with more motion and formation.
The Aurora Borealis — which occurs from an interaction of solar wind and the Earth’s magnetic field — can be seen just after sunset or just before sunrise, between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.

Just after sunset is like 7pm. Just before sunrise is around 7am.
10pm-2am is NOT "just after sunset" or "just before sunrise." It's the opposite. It's the middle of the night. I don't understand this phrasing.
You got me. I didn’t even notice that.
Is President Trump or global warming to blame?
Minnesota gets payback for having Gov tampon tim and assorted morons.
Watch out for the Triffids afterwards. If you still can.
What? No Texas?
Ping.
However, the Space Weather Now website shows no forecast for an aurora.
” The Aurora Borealis? At this time of the year? At this time of the day? In the this part of the Country? Localized entirely in your kitchen? “
Overcast here as usual. But thanks.
Oh I just checked. I can see the stars, and will go out later and try to see aurora. I’ll drive east toward Cazenovia and try to find a really dark sky.
Everyone AROUND Minnesota and Wisconsin will see it because only Minnesota and Wisconsin have thought ahead and implemented their new cosmic deflector arrays in response to Apophis changing its course.
I checked outside.
Same here.
Went out at 2:44, drove to the Palmer Road overlook.
Clouds have rolled in. No visibility.
The stars were out here briefly but no aurora and the rest of the time was cloudy.
Because of that bad thing it done.
Read the book and saw the movie decades ago!
