I feel left out too. Somehow Maryland (south of me) is in on the show but Connecticut’s not? I’ve only seen them once in Alaska in 1999.
Well, just like every other evening NH was supposed to see the northern lights this summer, it will be heavily overcast - at least in my area. Seriously, I saw the moon for the first time in close to a month Thursday, and I think there were a couple of stars I could see. Friday night the overcast was light, so I could tell where the moon was, but not actually see it.
How is Illinois left out when Wisconsin and Indiana, states on either side oare in? According to that map more people in Ohio will have a chance at seeing it than Indiana. Of course simply due to population density more people in Cleveland Ohio are likely to see it than Wyoming
The Space Weather Prediction Center says the best time to view the aurora is usually between 10pm and 2pm local time. Thousands are hoping to witness the magnificent natural occurrence tonight, Thursday, July 13. While there will be a number of locations across Canada where the Northern Lights will be visible, there will only be a few in the US. Now, the locations in which the Northern Lights might be seen in the US, according to the institute, are Great Falls in Montana, Juneau in Alaska, Portland in Oregon, Pierre in South Dakota, Madison in Wisconsin, and Lansing in Illinois.
