Cheyenne, WY – Wyoming residents are in for a rare celestial show as the northern lights are expected to brighten the skies tonight and tomorrow. A geomagnetic storm is making the aurora borealis visible much farther south than usual.
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, the best viewing in Wyoming will occur in the northern and central regions, including areas near Jackson Hole and the Wind River Range. Clear skies are forecasted to enhance visibility.
Experts recommend watching the skies between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. for the best chance of seeing the vibrant greens, purples, and reds of the aurora. Residents should seek out dark, rural locations to avoid light pollution.
This rare opportunity to witness the northern lights is expected to attract many skywatchers across the state, with ideal conditions tonight and tomorrow.
