Alabama’s Northern Lights: A night to remember

Strong solar activity gave Alabama residents a chance to see a dazzling display of the Northern Lights on Tuesday night.  

Reports and photos of the Northern Lights in Alabama flooded social media. Here are pics from Wheeler Dam in Lauderdale County, Conecuh National Forest in South Alabama, McCalla, Alabama and Springville, Alabama.

What’s Next

Several news outlets are predicting the Northern Lights will reappear in Alabama on Wednesday evening, November 12th.

For the most up-to-date forecast, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center produces about every 30 minutes a Aurora Forecast.

Of course, another ingredient needed to see the lights is a cloudless night.
