Forbes • • business
Key Points:
- The northern lights may be visible Sunday night in northern states including Washington, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, North Dakota, and northern South Dakota, with Alaska’s interior having a higher chance of sightings.
- Despite the potential visibility, NOAA forecasters do not expect significant space weather activity that usually leads to more spectacular aurora displays.
- The best viewing conditions involve traveling close to the Earth's magnetic north pole, finding a clear, dark northern sky away from city lights, and observing between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
- In Alaska, the late sunset around 10:35 p.m. in Anchorage limits the viewing window for the northern lights during summer months.
