AURORA MAY BE VISIBLE FOR SECOND TIME THIS YEAR TONIGHT… Heads up! We’re seeing reports as far south as Nassau, The Bahamas of the aurora borealis or “northern lights” being visible this evening. We are in the middle of a G4/G5 level solar storm tonight.
TO BE CLEAR… There is no way I can forecast or pinpoint who will be able to see the aurora and who won’t. We have already had a few reports from across our region near Milton and Munson of folks seeing some purple hues through the iPhone camera lenses. This will be a potential rare, remarkable opportunity to see the aurora at our low latitude.
HOW TO VIEW THE AURORA… Don’t miss this opportunity! Try and step outside and aim your smartphone to the north to see if you can see the aurora. No guarantees, but I promise it is worth your time if you do end up being able to see it. No clouds locally, thankfully. Take your kids outside to see this as it truly is a rare occasion. Before the major aurora we had a few months ago, previously it was over 30 years before we had a solar storm capable of being seen at low latitudes.
