Aurora Borealis Predicted to Be Visible Across Midwest

How to See the Northern Lights from Wisconsin

Clear Skies Expected for Optimal Viewing

A solar storm is expected to bring the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, to the Midwest tonight and tomorrow night. Most of the Lower 48 states have clear skies, making for optimal viewing conditions.

The best time to see the aurora is typically between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. Observers should look north for a shimmering, colorful display of light.

The intensity of the aurora is expected to vary, but it is possible that it will be visible even in urban areas with light pollution. For the best views, observers should travel to a rural area with no artificial light.
