 Due to recent solar activity which scientists are saying is at a peak for recent years, there is supposed to be a good chance for a huge display of the aurora Borealis even at lower latitudes.
 If you are interested, here are some of the places I visit occasionally:

I won't be able to see any. Overcast in my area: 100%

Come to think of it, we've been having stormy weather since yesterday, so doubtfull if it will be clear

 A couple of years ago I was listening to my police scanner while I was lying in bed, there was a bunch of people calling the police reporting a strange green glow in the sky, it turned out to be quite a phenominal auroral display, probably the best I can ever remember seeing here in Lower Michigan.
 I would like to see another show like that one, I remember the sky changing from green to red to yellowish, and I never even stepped outside, just watched out the window, considering we live in town with all the streetlights and all, I can only imagine how brilliant it must had looked farther out in the country where there is less light pollution.
 At present we have broken clouds with a light hazy overcast, so I don't know if we will be able to see anything or not, if it occurs too late I will be sleeping anyways.
 I suppose I will just listen to my scanner when I go to bed, when the simple minded people start calling 911 reporting weird colors in the sky, I will know to get up and look out the window.

That might have been the same display that I saw a couple years ago. It was incredible. The whole sky was changing colors from Blue, green, red,& yellow.

Since it had been so long since I had seen the Northern Lights, I wasn't even sure what it was at the time so I didn't bother waking anyone up. I remember describing it to my family the next day, they weren't very happy with me

God damn it... It is gonna rain here for the next week or so...

in the southern hemisphere we get Aurora Australis but im at to greater latitude to see it.  Would be spectacular tho . . . .  :-[

...It's peeing down with rain here and the only visual activity is the glow from my monitor... ... ... ...!
