Forecast is great tonight
This is an aurora alert for tonight and tomorrow. G1 and/or G2 storm incoming! Northern lights may be seen as far south as the northern states. All of Canada and Alaska be ready for lights tonight.
When should you head out? When it is dark!
How long should you wait for the aurora to be seen? Til sunrise!
Is there a “best” time? No! The aurora can be seen anytime it is dark, but typically seen after midnight. When there is a storm level aurora (such as tonight and tomorrow night) the time does not matter!
I saw the aurora, then it went away. Is that it? The aurora comes and goes. It is never finished unless the sun is rising.
Tried to see them last. If he at Glen alps. Went at midnight and didn’t see anything. Hoping to see them tonight. Any advice? Thanks
It was faint and low at midnight. Look to the north, northeast, and low. How long did you stay?
Got in around 1. Didn’t stay too long. What about tonight. Should we go to Glen Alps or Wasilla? Thanks and at what time?
Tonight may not be strong enough for south central Alaska. You go where it’s clearest and anytime it’s dark, typically after midnight.
Is the Airport in Anchorage a good spot to see it? I know it’s bright but if I can see the stars I should be okay right?
Yes. Look at the map http://www.auroranotify.com/wheretogoanc
Should you be able to see them in the Wasilla area??
Yes, entire state, if clear skies.
