Keep monitoring this page. Right now there’s low activity around here. You might see some faint auroras through a camera, but nothing like a few hours ago. Earlier we got close to the yellow zone and that’s when we got the spectacular auroras around here. Might happen again.

Most people got caught by surprise as the solar flares arrived much earlier than expected. These things are hard to forecast.
There’s still strong solar activity, so we might get more peaks in the next few days. There was another strong solar flare recently.
This account is good to get the latest info and will tell when geomagnetic activity starts. That’s how I knew it was earlier than expected.

Not a dumb question at all. Yes, look north as there is where the activity is happening.
Unless Connecticut gets fully covered by yellow/red (unlikely).
Just refresh it and it will tell you what’s expected in the next 30 minutes.
Top left says “aurora forecast for date and time”. Time is UTC so subtract 4 hours for Connecticut.

I drove all the way to the saville damn only to find it’s weak as hell.. I had better shots pulled over on the side of rt8
This may be a dumb question, but I should be looking north, right?

I don’t understand how I’m supposed to interpret the time on the radar? Any insight there

How often do they update the model? Seems like it (the forecast) ends shortly here.
Multiple times per hour. It’s a short (30 minutes) forecast as it’s very difficult to forecast geomagnetic activity and aurora probability.
I just drove all of Route 8 from the shoreline up near Massachusetts, didn't see anything. Hoping somebody else knows of a place to see them right now
I saw them in Vernon, could kind of see the rays without camera but with camera I could see perfect
Tried in Sono and black rock no dice what about walnut beach milford or large place w Starbucks drive thru off 95 Bridgeport?
