Northern Lights Tonight - April 13th

After a solar eruption earlier this week there's a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights tonight at high latitudes!  In the Quad Cities unfortunately we'll see an increase in clouds and a chance for rain after midnight, so while there would be a slight chance of seeing the aurora on a clear night here, tonight's chances look basically non-existent. 

For people in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, and especially up in Alaska, there could be a beautiful display of the Northern Lights! 

Here's a forecast on which places are most likely to see the aurora:
