if it is clear where you are and you are in the northern half of the country - look for the aurora!

Check the green line on this map

Even here in western NC there is a chance - will be heading out soon and looking north. Those in the wider green area will have a really good shot at seeing them. But anywhere north of the green line has a possibility - probably low on the northern horizon.

Check in if you do see them!

Just went outside here - sadly, still cloudy from our all-day rain, so no views for me.

2. Not clear enough, and not far enough north;

60 miles south of DC in southern MD.

4. that's north of the green line. we even have a chance down here in NC!

8. I went out and looked, and saw nothing; will check later.

9. it would be near the north horizon - probably pretty low - needs to be dark.

11. Right, pretty dark now, but some homes + lights along that horizon here, along a river.

17. Checked for it 5 times, but no luck.

DID catch this, however, rising in the east @ 3:17 a.m.

3. Nothing yet in the PNW

although it's still early. Local news is saying the best time is between 8:00 to 10:00 PM.

5. Completely overcast all day...

Still looks that way now. Usually happens when something cool like this is going on. Maybe the clouds will glow.

For those who get to see it, enjoy! They can be really amazing.

7. I know, I know. Central VT. Raining cats and dogs.

10. We're in SE Wisconsin- drove out to the country but no aurora 😢

12. Sigh. I used to live in northern New York State,

and saw it often.

Some years ago my husband and I visited Minneapolis, and when we got out of the rental car at the hotel one night and looked up at the sky, there were glowing patches. I said, Oh, wow! The aurora! He said no. I said yes. He said no. I said yes, trust me, I've seen it lots of times before. Next day the front page of the local paper had a big article about rare view of the aurora in Minneapolis.

13. Just had a look,

nada. With clear skies in S Alberta.

14. Primary sources rule. Secondary and tertiary ... don't

Strong CME.

Stay calm. The Earth's magnetic field's got this. (I vaguely think the magnetic poles are misaligned. First impression is that this could have been much worse.)

15. I just hope the clouds move out.

Will I be able to see them tomorrow?
Hope so.

16. Only thing I see in the North is a line of smoke from a neighbors fireplace.
