Tonight in Binghamton, New York, there might be a chance to spot the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). Though typically visible near the poles, conditions suggest they could be seen within Broome County. NOAA’s forecast with a Kp index of 5 indicates the lights may appear farther from the poles, making visibility in areas closer to the northern edge more likely.
The weather will be cold, with temperatures in the teens and light winds tonight. By evening, skies may clear as a high-pressure system builds, improving visibility. The best viewing window is around midnight, but stargazing can begin as early as 10 a.m.
To enhance your experience, head away from city lights for a clearer view. Wear warm clothing to protect against the cold weather.
