Possible Aurora Viewing Chances for NCWV before Rain Returns Tomorrow
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - The strongest geomagnetic storm since 2005 has occurred that could lead to the chance to see the Northern Lights in NCWV. The best chance for viewing will be away from light pollution, where skies are clear to the north. Most likely we will only be able to view the aurora on the horizon, but a quick drive up into the mountains of Pennsylvania could lead to better chances for viewing. Peak viewing time will be between 2-5am Saturday. Despite rain showers and cloud cover lingering today. We are expecting to see cloud coverage clear overnight and for the morning before rain showers and thunderstorms return tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures remain cool throughout the weekend, but we will see high pressure return and lead to dry and clearing conditions for Mother’s Day. Temperatures warm back up next week. Michael Moranelli has more details in your First Alert Forecast.
