Missed the northern lights last night? Here's where you might see them tonight.
The aurora borealis, or "northern lights," will be visible over Southeast Michigan again tonight--at least part of it.
What are the best viewing practices?
The chance of seeing the northern lights increases away from light pollution or away from city lights. Look toward the north. You will have a better chance in elevated areas, such as hills, and away from the obstruction of buildings.
The best aurora is often from 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., according to the Space Weather Prediction Center. This is all at the mercy of cloud cover.
TONIGHT:
We will have decreasing clouds across part of Southeast Michigan, but clouds will win out over the Thumb. In general, the skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy west of I-75 and mostly cloudy east of I-75. Lows will be around 45 degrees. Winds will be out of the northwest at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
TOMORROW (SUNDAY):
Mother’s Day will be drier and warmer. Conditions will range from partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 60s to 70 degrees. While most areas will remain dry, a spotty shower will be possible during the evening. Westerly winds will be 5 to 10 mph.
TOMORROW NIGHT:
It will be partly cloudy with increasing clouds. The chance of showers will also increase mainly after 1 a.m. Lows will be in the mid 50s.
MONDAY:
A couple of showers will be possible in the morning, but the rain showers and a few thunderstorms will rev up during the afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the upper 70s to 80 degrees.
