The northern lights are plunging south across the country tonight.
Most places in Canada could see a "more intense" aurora light up the night sky!
According to NOAA's northern lights forecast for Tuesday, April 15, the aurora is dipping down across Canada because of geomantic storms caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun.
This forecast also features a view line that shows how far south the northern lights could be seen on the northern horizon.
Most of the country is expected to see a "more intense" aurora tonight.
That includes Prince George, Whitehorse, Edmonton, Jasper, Calgary, Banff, Yellowknife, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Churchill, Thunder Bay, Moosonee, and Labrador City.
Also, the northern lights are likely but will be less intense in Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Lethbridge, Sudbury, Timmins, Quebec City, Saguenay, Gaspe, and other cities.
Places that are within the view line include Montreal, Fredericton, Moncton, Cape Breton Island, Charlottetown, and St. John's.
Wondering about the northern lights in Ontario? Toronto, the GTA, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, London, Windsor, Barrie, Kingston, Ottawa and everywhere else in southern Ontario could see the northern lights tonight!
That's because the aurora is plunging so far south that the view line is all the way down along Lake Erie.

If you're going to try to see the aurora tonight, the Canadian Space Agency has northern lights viewing tips that can help you.
The northern lights typically appear a few hours after sunset and become more intense around midnight.
You should find a spot with little or no light pollution. Bright city lights could block your view of a less intense aurora.
Then, you should look all over the sky because auroras can appear anywhere.
However, if you're somewhere along the NOAA view line, the northern lights will only be visible toward the northern horizon.
