I don’t have live access to current viewing conditions right now, but I can share how to find tonight’s aurora borealis visibility for your location and the typical best viewing times. What to check

• NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) aurora alerts and 30-minute outlooks
• Local space weather forecasts for your latitude/longitude
• Regional sky conditions and light pollution checks (clear skies improve visibility)

How to maximize your chances

• Aim for clear, dark skies away from city lights
• The best viewing window is typically a few hours around local midnight, though strong geomagnetic activity can shift that window earlier or later
• Stay updated with real-time alerts; an aurora watch or G-scale (G1–G5) indicates increasing activity
• Look toward the northern horizon if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere; even when the aurora is low on the horizon, you may still see faint glow

Steps you can take right now

• Find your local sunset and civil twilight times for tonight to know when darkness begins
• Check a trusted space weather site for tonight’s Kp-index forecast and any active alerts
• If a strong geomagnetic storm is forecast or ongoing, you’ll likely have a better chance of seeing auroras even from mid-latitude locations

If you tell me your nearest city or coordinates, I can tailor a concise tonight’s viewing plan (best time window, likely skies, and how to observe with a camera) using typical patterns and the latest forecast guidance.
