Potential for Northern Lights Visible in Michigan This New Year's Eve

On New Year’s Eve, parts of Michigan may have the opportunity to witness the northern lights, as indicated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. The best visibility for the aurora borealis is expected in the Upper Peninsula, though the viewing area extends into the south-central Lower Peninsula. However, the National Weather Service forecasts mostly cloudy conditions with rain and snow in the metro Detroit area, likely hindering the viewing experience. For optimal sightings, Michigan’s dark sky parks, including Headlands International, Keweenaw, and Dr. T.K. Lawless, are recommended. Additionally, escaping light pollution in the Detroit area and using camera lenses or smartphones may enhance the chances of observing the lights, which are created by solar winds and charged particles from the sun.
