The earth fell inside a solar wind stream yesterday, and faint auroras
may be visible tonight (I'd take a guess looking at the available data,
at or around midnight they will be the best). Best to be away from city
lights, probably no color will be visible as they will be too dim. Look
for vertical beams dancing around to the north. (much like a far off
spotlight)

also, keep an eye on http://www.sel.noaa.gov/pmap/pmapN.html if any
yellow or red come over us, then you're guaranteed to see something!
         Think clear skies!!
