AURORA POSSIBLE TONIGHT; LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY… Getting a ton of questions over the last few hours from folks asking if we have a chance of seeing the aurora again tonight. The short answer: It’s possible, but highly uncertain. The geomagnetic/solar storm that causes aurora/northern lights has subsided a bit today. Solar storm forecasters indicate the storm may ramp back up tonight, causing aurora to be visible across much of the nation, similar to last night.

Our RedZone Weather producer, Matthew Morgan, caught this gorgeous Aurora view last evening in Conecuh County at Exit 83 on I-65.

Space weather forecasting is fickle and highly unpredictable at times, meaning we really won’t know how aurora conditions are shaping up until after dark tonight.

If you’re interested in seeing the aurora tonight, I would encourage you to have your smartphone and/or cameras charged up and ready to go. It’s easier to see in rural areas away from city lights.

The local weather forecast for tonight will cooperate for aurora viewing conditions. Mostly clear skies are expected with temperatures in the 50s after sunset. Prime sky viewing weather!

I’ll be watching along with you tonight. Maybe we’ll see the beautiful red glow again!

Not looking great for aurora viewing in Alabama or Florida at the moment but that doesn't mean we won't see a spike in odds in a few hours.

Aurora forecasting is *extremely* fickle and difficult, particularly when compared with weather forecasting. pic.twitter.com/7y1363DdBs
