Northern Lights Probably Visible Tonight about 8p

Be prepared to drive out of the city to a dark place. Preferably some where with a bit of elevation to help.

And some where without clouds. That's usually the problem.

edit: you never know, once in a great while it will just be amazing, even in Ohio.

It might not last very long, so I hope some one gets a chance.

Clear country skies here and I live on top of a hill I went outside a few minutes ago and watch for about five minutes didn't see anything. But it's not quite completely dark yet I'll wait a little bit longer and check again.

Well I sat outside for about 20 minutes after it was completely dark and never seen a single flicker. I am now sitting inside with my patio curtains wide open maybe I can catch a glimpse.

Streaming still photos here (Abisko National Park, Sweden), but the Sun hasn't gone down yet? (Might not have to.)

If that not enough, here's 67 Alaskan webcams:

edit: this is a good one, Barrow Alaska. Most Northern part looking North. Sun hasn't quite gone down yet.
