Patch Berkeley, NJ --The chance to marvel at streams of color in the sky should be possible Saturday evening over New Jersey. A solar flare may create a Northern Lights display Saturday, according to a report by Accuweather.
Accuweather's astronomy report includes a graphic of the United States showing that the occurence of the Northern Lights, also called an aurora, could best be visible over New Jersey and DelMarva.
A cloudless Saturday sky over New Jersey would improve viewing conditions, where as the rest of the nation is predicted to have cloudy skies impacting the view.
"Viewing conditions will be best in the mid-Atlantic, specifically for parts of Pennsylvania and the Delmarva. Most of the country will have poor to fair views as a result of cloud cover, with areas further south not experiencing the aurora at all. A pocket of fair conditions sits over southeastern Oregon and the southwest corner of Idaho. A swath of partly cloudy conditions will also spread over a section of the Ohio Valley for parts of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Ohio will experience fair to good viewing conditions. For the rest of the country conditions will be poor," reported Accuweather.
