I can help, but I don’t have live access to aurora forecasts right this moment. Here’s how you can check tonight’s northern lights visibility for your location. What to check

• Local space weather forecast: Look for a NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center aurora forecast or an official space weather alert for tonight. These forecasts indicate geomagnetic activity (G-scale) and likely visibility regions for the next several hours.
• Real-time aurora maps: Use an interactive aurora forecast map (e.g., Space Weather live/NOAA OVATION maps) that shows current activity and the predicted northern horizon visibility for your latitude.
• Light-pollution and clear-sky conditions: Find a dark, unobstructed view toward the northern sky. Check local weather for cloud cover and transparency.

Best general guidance for tonight

• If there is a geomagnetic storm watch or a wake of solar wind activity, higher latitudes (above about 60° N) have the best odds, but strong events can push visibility further south briefly.
• The peak viewing window is typically between local sunset and a few hours after midnight; in strong events, you might still catch an display before dawn.

Tips to maximize chances

• Choose a south-facing or north-facing spot? Face north (toward the aurora belt) but ensure you have a clear horizon in that direction.
• Minimize light pollution: Find a dark site away from streetlights; even a small amount of darkness helps.
• Give your eyes time to adjust: 15–30 minutes without bright light improves faint aurora visibility.
• Use a camera: A tripod and a longer exposure (e.g., 5–15 seconds at moderate ISO) can reveal fainter auroras that are not easily seen with the naked eye.
