NOAA Issues Nightly Aurora Forecasts for Northern US States All Week
NOAA's low-level Kp index forecasts have put the northern lights within possible view of a recurring set of border states each night since Sunday.
What to know
- NOAA has forecast a Kp index of four out of nine on four separate nights (Aug 16, 17, 18, 20), each time citing a chance of aurora visibility in roughly the same nine northern border states plus Alaska.
- No major space weather events have been predicted during this period, meaning the northern lights are unlikely to be visible farther south than the usual border states.
- By Aug 20, NOAA downgraded the likelihood for border states to 'low', while Alaska's interior remained in the 'high' likelihood zone, though late summer sunsets there limit visibility.
- Coverage has been routine daily forecast reporting from Forbes with essentially no public engagement or debate in the evidence provided.
