Okay, why would I put a blog entry about the Northern Lights when we're expected to be cloudy for the next week? Before I give you the forecast, here's the science!A large coronal hole may be opening up on the side of the sun nearest earth. This could trigger a geomagnetic storm for the planet on Friday, October 20th. If this occurs, a large display of northern lights will be visible. While the chances of this potential display making it this far south is in question, certainly if your plans take you to Wisconsin or the U.P., be on the look out.
Now that I've gotten your hopes up? Time for the forecast! During the next seven days, there is only one clear night in the forecast...and that's Friday night! -ERIC
