The northern lights are expected to dip south and could be visible almost everywhere in Canada tonight!

Here's what you need to know if you want to spot the northern lights in Canada.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's northern lights forecast, it's very likely that the aurora will shine across Canada on Thursday, February 13 and Friday, February 14.
This forecast also includes a view line which shows how far south the aurora might be seen on the northern horizon.
It's expected that a "more intense" aurora will be seen on Friday night in cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.
The northern lights are likely to be visible in cities like Vancouver, Kelowna, Lethbridge, Regina, and Thunder Bay as well.
Also, the view line — where the northern lights might be seen on the horizon — for tonight includes Victoria, Toronto and the GTA, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Moncton and Charlottetown!
The Canadian Space Agency has northern lights viewing tips you should know about if you're looking to the skies tonight.
Usually, the northern lights appear a few hours after sunset and become more intense around midnight.
Once the sky is dark, find somewhere with little to no light pollution. City lights can block your view of low-intensity auroras.
Then, look all over 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 toward the northern horizon.
