Aurora Forecast for Saturday, May 4, 2013
The Solar Wind

Forecast: Auroral activity will be moderate. Weather permitting, moderate displays will be visible overhead in Fairbanks, Alaska, Tromsø, Norway and Cherskiy, Russia, and visible low on the horizon as far south as Marquette, Michigan, Sundsvall, Sweden and Arkhangelsk, Russia.
Forecaster Comments: In spite of the extension of winter weather, the sun and the birds have returned to the North, and the nights are filled with light and song. For the northern summer observing possibilities, click on "viewing the aurora in the northern summer" on the forecast page. We will continue the normal forecast for the benefit of those at lower latitudes and in the Southern Hemisphere, and we will send out alerts in the event of solar disturbances when there is a possibility of K > 4.
