GREAT FALLS — It is never a guarantee, but we do have a chance to see the Aurora Borealis in the northern tier of the U.S., including most of Montana, on Friday night and Saturday night.
The Space Weather Predication Center has issued G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watches for October 4-6 due to a pair of coronal mass ejections that are expected to arrive this weekend.
There will be some clouds around for the early part of Friday night across parts of Montana, but it will be mostly clear Saturday night.
In order to get the best viewing, make sure you are as far away from city lights as possible.
Two resources for knowing when the Aurora Borealis might be visible in our area are the Space Weather Prediction Center and Soft Serve News.
