Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible?

Saturday night’s northern lights forecast will have a Kp index of 4, the level of geomagnetic activity measured on a scale of zero to nine, indicating lights that can be “quite pleasing to look at.”
Alaskans have the best shot of seeing the northern lights Saturday night, as NOAA forecasts nearly the entire state has a high likelihood of an aurora. Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota also have a moderate likelihood. Other states along the aurora’s projected view line, the point with the lowest likelihood of catching the northern lights, include Washington, Idaho, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine.
