Supposed to be visible here in southern New England. Around 10pm I think.
Looking for a good link......

Look North. 10pm-1am best window. Hope these clouds clear out a little... Low on horizon, not overhead.

Saw them in all their glory while flying out of Anchorage one September night long ago. Very surreal. All I will see from here are trees.
|
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Anchored in the mouth of the Bouquet River on Lake Champlain, 30 plus years ago.
Sunset came and so did the mosquitoes. Pulled up anchor and sailed across the lake. A mile from any light and the whole sky was flashing. Most amazing sight I’ve seen, totally out of scale.
Went for a long time, I’m heading out now to see if they appear

Will try tonight. Seen them twice while surfcasting, once on the backbeach of Cape Cod and once on Block Island. One of the highlights of my gazing into the heavens while casting.

Is that when the mother ship was picking you up or dropping off?  |

Clouds too much , maybe more cooperative tonight.
Best northern lights I've seen is a toss up between a late October Quonny Breachway 15 years ago and and early October Big Bridge / Little Bridge during the Derby on the Vineyard twenty years ago.
They can be very good down here late fall when it is COLD.

Western Mass about 30 years ago. Farm at 1650 ft elevation on Vt border.
Northern lights were awesome. Neighbor came over (college educated) in tears "it's the end of the world!"... oh boy...

went out about 10:15 and walked to the beach. Saw some lights north of me and thought they were the Northern lights. Then realized it was just a house in Bridgeport burning.

Due to the lack of mention last evening by the weather guy who covered it the night before, I believe this was a one night event.

Went out after the game - nothing but a glow from Fall River.

I think to see the Northern Light this far south you need a couple things
Little light pollution
Clear sky
High pressure
Solar Storm
I know when I saw them it was a clear night with a light northerly breeze.

Here’s a light pollution map
I think it matters mostly to astronomers
Cuttyhunk, the outer cape and Block are fairly dark
