I’m reading that there may be a chance for auroras in the skies of New York tonight, as a result of the recent dead sunspot CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). Auroras are underway right now across northern Europe and the North Atlantic. It is yet to be determined if the auroras will continue long-enough into nightfall across New York State or not. Weather prediction calls for relatively clear skies (not overcast) from around 8/9pm until 2/3am.
More can be interpreted here: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ Fingers crossed. It’s been years since I’ve seen auroras. Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
