Aurora Borealis Moves South
On Sunday night, the northern lights are forecast to be visible across states along the U.S.-Canadian border.
Where to Watch
Viewers in Washington, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine may see the display.
Solar Winds Drive the Show
High-speed streams from a cooler coronal hole in the Sun's atmosphere are interacting with Earth's magnetic field.
A Kp Index of Four
NOAA predicts a Kp index of 4 out of 9, pushing the aurora further south with brighter, visible formations.
Minor Geomagnetic Storms
These solar streams trigger mild G1-class geomagnetic storms, pulling the auroral oval toward lower latitudes.
Best Viewing Conditions
Look toward the magnetic north pole between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Clear, dark skies are essential.
Visible Up to 600 Miles Away
You don't need to be directly underneath. The lights can be seen up to 600 miles south of their origin point.
Capturing the Lights
Use a smartphone on a tripod with night mode enabled. Shoot in RAW format for the most accurate colors.
