Northern lights are dipping south across Canada tonight and could even be seen in Toronto
Look for the aurora in Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa too!
Northern lights in the sky in Canada.
The northern lights are plunging south and could be seen all over Canada tonight.
You could spot the aurora from cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal!
According to NOAA's northern lights forecast for Tuesday, March 4, geomagnetic storms are causing a "more intense" aurora across Canada.
This forecast also includes a view line showing how far south the aurora might be seen along the northern horizon.
On Tuesday night, a "more intense" aurora is expected in northern and central parts of Canada, including Prince George, Jasper, Edmonton, Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Saskatoon, and Churchill.
The northern lights will be less intense but still visible in Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and more places.
Since the aurora is plunging south, a lot of cities that rarely see the northern lights could spot it tonight!
The northern lights could be seen on the northern horizon in Victoria, Toronto and the GTA, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Moncton and Charlottetown.
That's because these cities are along NOAA's forecasted view line.
Are you going to try seeing the aurora tonight? The Canadian Space Agency has northern lights viewing tips.
The northern lights usually appear a few hours after sunset and become more intense around midnight.
Find a place with little to no light pollution. If you're somewhere a less intense aurora is forecast, city lights will probably block your view.
Then, look all around you because auroras can appear anywhere in the sky.
But if you're somewhere along the NOAA view line, the northern lights will only be visible near the northern horizon.
Also, you can check where the northern lights are in real time with NOAA's 30-minute aurora forecast.
