Northern Lights Forecast Update: Here’s Where Aurora Borealis Could Be Seen Tonight As Likely Geomagnetic Storm…

According to NOAA, Thursday is likely to see minor or larger geomagnetic storms, which are brought on by a solar energy and particle burst and might push aurora borealis further south.

Low-frequency navigation signals may be affected by the likelihood of mild solar radiation beginning Tuesday, and NOAA predicts a maximum Kp index of four for Wednesday and five for Thursday.

Parts of northern Washington, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota have a poor probability of witnessing the northern lights, whereas northern Canada and Alaska have a high possibility. States sweeping just into Idaho, South Dakota, Michigan, and Maine are just above the view line, providing a limited chance to witness auroral activity. (See the line for viewing below.)

In order to witness the northern lights, which are most visible between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., NOAA advises moving away from light pollution to a high viewing point.

How Can I Take the Greatest Northern Lights Photographs?
The Icelandic travel website Visit Iceland suggests using a lower shutter speed in the night mode on your smartphone. Adobe advises utilizing a wide aperture, a low shutter speed, a high ISO value, and the focus set to the furthest setting if using a standard camera.
