Detroit, MI – Residents across the Great Lakes region could be treated to another night of glowing skies as the Northern Lights may once again be visible tonight. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center reports that the G3–G4-level geomagnetic storm responsible for Tuesday’s nationwide aurora show remains active, keeping visibility possible across Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and northern Indiana.
The National Weather Service says clear to partly clear skies will continue through the evening for most of the region, providing good visibility before clouds increase late tonight. The best viewing time will be between 8 p.m. and midnight, facing north toward the horizon and away from light-polluted areas.
The strongest aurora activity is expected across northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and western Lake Superior, but faint colors could also be visible in parts of Ohio and Indiana if skies remain clear.
Temperatures tonight will fall into the 30s and low 40s, with light winds and calm conditions ideal for skywatching. A slow warming trend will continue through Friday, with highs reaching the 60s and 70s before a cold front arrives over the weekend.
If you missed the show earlier this week, tonight may be the final opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis over the Great Lakes before the solar storm weakens and cloud cover returns.
