The Northern Lights may be visible as far south as Illinois on Thursday night, according to the latest forecast for the projected geomagnetic storm.
As reported by NBC Chicago, the Aurora forecast for Thursday afternoon indicated a possible G3-level storm, which could allow the Northern Lights to be seen in the lower Midwest.
To increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights, find a location with a clear view of the northern sky and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for at least 15 minutes.
