Northeastern US – Residents across the northeastern United States have a rare opportunity to witness the Northern Lights tonight. According to the US National Weather Service, skies are expected to be partly cloudy to mostly clear, creating favorable conditions for viewing this breathtaking natural phenomenon. Temperatures will dip into the low 60s, making it a cool and pleasant evening for outdoor stargazing.
The Northern Lights, scientifically known as the aurora borealis, occur when solar particles collide with Earth’s atmosphere, producing vibrant and colorful light displays. The event is expected to begin around 9 p.m., with peak visibility between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
To maximize your chances of seeing the aurora, it’s recommended to head to areas with minimal light pollution, such as rural regions or national parks. The National Weather Service advises that skies should be clearest around midnight, providing the best viewing window for the light show.
This is a rare chance for residents of the northeastern US to experience one of nature’s most spectacular displays. Be sure to check local weather conditions and find a dark, open spot to enjoy the view.
