There is nothing quite like viewing the northern lights in person. While much of the country got this opportunity earlier this year, most of the time, that view is reserved for those of us who live far in the north. That said, forecasts are predicting a shift tomorrow night. If that does happen, it seems that more of us will get the opportunity to view those colorful lights in the sky!

Your best chance at spotting these lights will take place tomorrow night (September 10). For optimal viewing, it’s vital to be in an area with as few lights as possible. Other tips include:
- Heading toward the magnetic poles
- Looking up between 10 PM and 2 AM local time
- Checking out this aurora forecast to see if your area is in the coverage area
If you do choose to head outside for a viewing of the northern lights, make sure to stay aware of your surroundings. This is especially true if you’re venturing into dark, isolated areas. And, of course, have fun!
