SEATTLE – Drier and sunnier weather is forecast for Seattle on Sunday afternoon. Mostly clear skies are forecast for the night: this will improve visibility of the Aurora Borealis!
In Western Washington, there is a chance to see the Northern Lights early Monday morning (best viewing is between 2 and 5 a.m.). Mother Nature is providing wonderful conditions: rain-free skies and very few clouds.
A few tips for viewing the Aurora Borealis: Try to get away from city lights and look toward the northern horizon. Interestingly, your phone’s camera can pick up the colors better than the naked eye. This event won’t be nearly as impressive as the one in May (remember that?), but it’s still a cool opportunity to see those famous bright hues on the horizon.
Keep in mind that predicting space weather is challenging, and these conditions are likely to change.
