The Northern Lights Will Put On An Epic Storm Across Almost All Of BC & Alberta Tonight

There's a chance to see the magical display that is the northern lights this week — and the best place to see it is in B.C. and Alberta.

According to The Weather Network, a "G3," or strong, geomagnetic storm will hit overnight into Thursday, March 31, and it can be seen as far south as the U.S. border.

Due to cloud cover across much of central and eastern Canada, the aurora borealis will only be visible in western Canada.

Some of the best places in the world to view the northern lights in the winter are Alaska, Scandinavia and Canada, according to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Insitute's Aurora Forecast.

To see these phenomenal lights, the sky will need to be clear and at its darkest, so try and find somewhere away from city light pollution.

On March 31, there will be high Auroral activity in North America and you will be able to see the night sky lit up by the northern lights, which will be "visible overhead from Inuvik, Yellowknife, Rankin and Iqaluit [...] and visible low on the horizon as far south as Carson City, Oklahoma City, and Raleigh," according to the Aurora Forecast.

You might want to have a late cup of coffee on this day because the best time to view these dancing lights will be anywhere between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., according to the Aurora Forecast.

The northern lights look like a truly amazing sight to see and if you are lucky enough to get clear weather and catch them when they are at their peak, it's sure to be such a unique experience.
