 p.1 #5 · Heads Up - Aurora forecast for tonight is strong. Thursday 17 Jan | |
Mr Grimm:
Short answer is that 3/10 usually results in northern lights pictures in Calgary from my experience but usually only 1/2 hour in the night for 50% of the nights. But 4/10 is better so if you skies are clear and you are out of town and you sit and wait for 3 hours in the dark, I would say you have a 50/50 chance tonight.
Click the map of North America on the site for your specific foreast (as opposed to Alaska)
You decide if its worth it.
Google aurora watch at UofAlbert for a more specific forecast to Edmonton. But my experience is that aurora watch from UoAlberta is good for short term (1 hour forecasts) and U of Alaska is good for longer term forecasting (day or 2 ahead).
But don't throw rocks at my house, if you sit in the dark freezing an see nothing.
Both UofAlaska and UofAlberta have a auto-email alert to you, if you sign up.
