"Northern Lights Spectacle: Catch the Aurora Tonight!"

Meteorologists predict that the aurora borealis, or northern lights, will be visible tonight from parts of the northern U.S. and Canada, stretching southward across the upper Midwest, northern Great Plains, and northern New England. Cloud cover may obstruct the view in some areas, but cities farther west like Boise and Cheyenne may have better luck. The sky needs to be clear and dark to see the aurora borealis, and Saturday night's viewing will be aided by a sliver of a waning crescent moon. Scientists can predict the presence of the aurora borealis by examining solar winds, but these predictions are less reliable than typical weather forecasts.
