The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is predicting a geomagnetic storm for Wednesday and Thursday of this week (July 12th & 13th). Strong northern lights may be visible between 10 PM and 2 AM in parts of the northern US, especially from points of high elevation, clear views of the northern horizon and low light polution.
I have been chasing Aurora for quite a few years. From my experience forecasts this far out are rarely accurate. Take this with a large grain of salt.
Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country?
I saw the northern lights for the first time in MN this past winter (just moved here and out to the country). It was breathtaking. Something I’ve wanted to see my entire life and it did not disappoint. Makes me want to go further North to see it better.
Me too! Happened to see it in Connecticut when I was a teenager, totally took me by surprise. Space weather apps were definitely not a thing at the time.
