Heads up. Possibel Northern Lights tonight and tommorow.


Recommended Posts

According to the email I received from the University of Alaska, the 17-18 may produce good northern lights. A bit cloudy on this side of the State but thought I would put the heads up to eveyone intersted.

you can view info on the forcast for the Northern lights here: Aurora Forcast

I get e-mail alerts from that site and it has been spot on when I have been able to view. Can't say 100% because weather doesn't allow me to see every alert but the ones I have seen have been accurate.

A 3 is good but a 4 is significant. Chances are you will have a very good display. Keep in mind we are coming into one of the most active years in a long time for solar activity. Should be many more good viewings.

Well it is not easy living in the metro and finding a spot that has no light pollution! I've attempted north in the Rogers area and St. Cloud, Elk River and all the other towns are always in the way. I am now in a search for a western location. I've not found the perfect spot yet that doesn't require a LONG drive. It is amazing how even a small town gives light pollution off! So long round about way of saying still looking for the perfect spot! If I find it I will let you know!

Thanks. There have been times that I would have liked to head out but I'm not really willing to drive too far on a hunch.
