Minneapolis, MN – The Northern Lights are forecast to grace parts of the Midwest on Friday night, potentially creating stunning skies over North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, geomagnetic activity is expected to intensify Friday night, with peak auroral activity projected between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Central Time. Areas with clear skies may witness the aurora borealis, particularly in northern regions of these states. The viewable area extends farther south due to increased geomagnetic storms.
Northern Minnesota and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are expected to provide prime viewing. NOAA advises looking northward in areas with minimal light pollution. The aurora forecast indicates high visibility for this event, though cloud cover could affect viewing conditions.
