I just checked. It's clear, surprisingly, because usually it's not when there's a chance for a good aurora event, but no sign of any lights.

I was hoping to get a glimpse of the aurora, but it looks like it might not make itself visible this far south (MD). The last (and only) time I saw it was in Nov/Dec of 2001, and that time it was thanks to a thread on FR that alerted me. I'll probably stay up late, just in case it happens again.

Here's another link, to the Short Term Aurora Forecast, from the Geophysical Institute at University of Alaska Fairbanks, page for North America.

Looks like some Freepers should get a good show.

If you did get to see it, please share what you saw. I'm too far South to see it.
