Aurora Borealis

It's very hard to forecast where the Northern Lights will be visible. Keep that in mind as a new space forecast that shows it's very possible the Aurora Borealis might be visible over parts of Illinois Monday night due to another major solar storm.

There is hype growing that it's likely you'll be able to see a glorious display of the Northern Lights dazzling your eyeballs over Missouri and Illinois this Thursday night. Sorry to be a party pooper, but that doesn't appear likely to happen. At all.

It's been a pretty interesting month of August when it comes things like meteor showers and super moons--but the best may be yet to come, and it may happen as early as tonight in the skies over Northern Illinois.

Assuming the clouds give way and give us some clear skies, we should not only get a look at the Aurora Borealis tonight (Thursday) in the Rockford area, but also Friday night, too.

A moderate geomagnetic storm might give us a chance to see the Northern Lights.

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? They are on my 'bucket list', so this rare magnetic storm coming has me very excited.
