While some auroras were seen around 10pm across parts of the Adirondack’s, K-index has remained to low for visibility further south. A K-index of 8 or 9 with a G4 or G5 storm is required for auroras to reach lower latitudes. You can keep an eye on this graph for when to go check as conditions can change quickly. We are still at the peak of solar maximum’s 11 year cycle, additional sunspots and CME’s are likely, but understand that Friday nights event may have a multi decade event and extremely rare.

So getting a G4 or G5 storm without fog blocking the sky is impossible, got it

G4 to G5 Level Geomagnetic Storm Conditions possible again tonight, in addition the short range guidance supports clearing skies developing around 9-10PM and persisting through dawn. IF space weather conditions peak again this evening, widespread aurora’s may again be possible. These can be difficult to forecast and timing is everything, we will post more as we get closer to the potential.
