Aurora Borealis Could Be Seen in Idaho and Washington Tonight and Tomorrow

Forecast maps, NOAA predictions, and even Martha Stewart are sharing news that the Northern Lights could be seen tonight as far down as central Idaho and Washington.

Seeing the Aurora Borealis requires a combination of factors to fall into place, but if you are in the right place, up late, and outdoors - you might see the beautiful dancing lights tonight or tomorrow.

It was almost a year ago that the Northern Lights gave their best show in decades to residents in the Pacific Northwest. I stayed up late with my family and took amazing pictures as the lights danced and changed colors in Southern Idaho.

We have another chance to see the lights tonight and tomorrow according to the forecast radar from NOAA and the Space Weather Prediction Center website. The forecast shows the view line below Washington and almost to Southern Idaho.

That's about the same level as 6 months ago when the lights made a surprise appearance.
