Well well well.... Statewide aurora chances return as early as tomorrow (Thursday) night as multiple solar storms are forecast to impact earth. A G3 watch is in effect which if realized, would bring the northern lights as far south as central Ohio and Indiana.

Remember, aurora does not follow a time table and is best predicted in real time. If you are new here, we have experienced staff and a network of 100+ cameras we can track viewing in real time. Stay tuned to our page for updates, and let's cross our fingers for clear skies!
