I just read that tonight the Northern Lights will be visible in 30 states. It’s cloudy here in Maine so no chance for me but if anyone gets to see them let me know.

Washington is on the list! Hopefully it is clear tonight.
30 northern US states will be able to see the northern lights tonight. Here's where.
A moderate geomagnetic storm expected to hit Earth Sunday could mean millions of Americans will have a chance to see the northern lights.

Thanks for adding the link Captain, not sure why I didn’t think of it.

We had hoped for better weather but it's rainy here in my part of NYS. Looks like one more lost opportunity.
Until next time...be well.

Can't see anything where I am in Connecticut. Probably too cloudy.
I live in the land of the Northern lights and still prefer coffee table books to actually getting up in the middle of the night for a mediocre viewing. Sorry to be a spoil sport.
I'd settle for a mediocre viewing, but not going to happen down here in Louisiana.
It's been a phenomenal year here for the aurora borealis.......my neighbor is a very good photographer and caught this view over the Delta Clearwater River. The Del
ta Clearwater is mostly ice free all winter as it emanates from a very large spring and flows all year at 39F.

This was taken last night (not by me) at the top of Mohawk Mountain a couple minutes from me. More of a hill if you live in a mountainous area...
Pretty impressive for southern New England.

We are back to normal spring weather around here, sun and cloud with intermittent showers, cool temps. While the daytime woods were colourful the night sky was disappointing. I checked the NOAA site and our local forecast. Tonight looks promising.
Thanks for the heads up. I'd love to see the aurora again.

It was easily visible here in Northern Iowa last night. Of course, seeing as I live under a rock, I was unaware it was going to be a thing so I missed it. Lots of pretty pictures on Facebook though.

I was spoiled. Lived very near arctic circle in Sweden for a year. Glorious northern lights every night (and -40° flat line for all of January).
Northern Lights are happening again tonight and through the weekend. These are from a couple of minutes ago.
These are from my iPhone.
These are from a neighbor with a good camera.

I got a glimpse of them here in CT. Very pretty.

From camp on the North Kawishiwi last night in the BWCA.
Lake Tahoe was brilliant in 3 colors.
I was up and around after midnight so there was no excuse not to step outside for a look. Despite some whispy cirrus tickling the stars I saw no aurora borealis. The urban light pollution didn't help matters any. After a good long while a coydog came up out of the ravine and made its inspections all along the street. By the time 3 am rolled by I gave up my stake out and retired to bed. Better luck tonight maybe.
Saw them last night over here in Vt. First time seeing them. Very cool experience.
A neighbor captured this. Looking pretty cloudy tonight.Bob
