The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks forecast auroral activity Thursday night in 17 states, including Wisconsin. The further north, the better chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The best viewing is usually achieved away from city lights and other light pollution. However, clouds and a chance of rain will affect visibility in southeastern Wisconsin. WISN 12 Weather Forecast The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said the best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. The Northern Lights occur when solar winds blow particles into Earth’s magnetic field, generating streams of charged particles that react with oxygen and nitrogen to produce light. The intensity of the lights varies. A geomagnetic index known as Kp ranks auroral activity on a scale of zero to nine, with zero being slightly active and nine being bright and active. The Geophysical Institute has forecast Kp 6 for Thursday’s storm. If you catch a glimpse of this show, share your photos and videos with WISN 12 news here.
