Sioux Falls, SD – South Dakota residents may have the chance to see the northern lights tonight and tomorrow, as a powerful geomagnetic storm makes the aurora borealis visible farther south than usual.
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, the northern regions of South Dakota, including Pierre and areas near the Badlands, will offer the best chances for viewing. Clear skies are anticipated, enhancing the experience.
Experts recommend looking toward the northern horizon between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. for the best chance to see the vibrant greens and reds of the aurora. Rural areas will provide optimal viewing away from light pollution.
This rare opportunity to witness the northern lights is expected to draw many skywatchers outdoors tonight and tomorrow.
