Michigan residents have an exciting opportunity this week to witness the northern lights, or aurora borealis, as forecasters have issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday night. Conditions are predicted to be ideal for viewing early in the evening, although fog may develop later. If Tuesday’s display is missed, there’s still a chance to see the auroras on Wednesday night. The best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., with recommended locations including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Tahquamenon Falls State Park, known for their dark skies. Viewers are advised to find spots away from city lights, focus northward, and keep an eye on local weather updates for the best chance to experience this breathtaking natural phenomenon.
