    Hey wildwest below is a weather forecast/report on the Northern Lights from Omaha NE. It doesnt look like Denver is going to be the best viewing. Also there is a 5 minute video linked below that tells how/when/where to look. Good Luck!

    Auroras could be visible tonight and Saturday night (wowt.com)

    I've been looking since it got dark out tonight. Nothing yet. Apparently this might happen much later tonight now. But then it's supposed to get cloudier as the night goes on. I'll see if I can stay up, but somehow I doubt it

    I kept checking every so often until clouds started moving in around 10pm. Went to bed, got up around 3:30 or 4 to pee, still cloudy, back to bed.
    Maybe next time :(

    Didn't see any of them from here either. Clouds moved in overnight.

    I checked before bed. It was still cloudy so I didn't bother staying up.

    Looked like the whole eastern half of the US was rain and cloud covered.

    So nothing to see here.

    Good clear (chilly) weather forecast for the next 10 days now. :dex:

    Cleared up (sort of) near sunset last evening. Thought I'd take another peek but the snow clouds thought differently!
