Burlington, VT – Vermonters are in for a rare celestial treat as the northern lights are expected to shine across the night skies tonight and tomorrow. Thanks to an ongoing geomagnetic storm, the aurora borealis will be visible much farther south than usual.
The Space Weather Prediction Center forecasts that the best views will be in northern Vermont, particularly in the areas surrounding Burlington and St. Johnsbury. The skies are expected to be clear, creating ideal viewing conditions.
Experts suggest heading outdoors between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. for the brightest display. To avoid light pollution, rural locations will offer the best views. Stargazers should look toward the northern horizon for a chance to see the green and red hues of the aurora.
This unique event is expected to attract many across Vermont, with both tonight and tomorrow offering the potential for a breathtaking sight.
