What this score means

The 0–100 number is our viewing score, not a percent chance. It combines NOAA signals with NWS clouds, darkness, moonlight and Maine regional thresholds.

Maine Regional Outlook

Northern Maine is one of the best aurora regions in the eastern United States. Dark sky quality is exceptional, but Atlantic cloud cover can erase an otherwise favorable event.

How to use this tonight

Allagash is the latitude-first benchmark. Katahdin Woods & Waters adds exceptional protected darkness, while Acadia can work during stronger events when coastal clouds cooperate.

Data and truth boundaries

OVATION is a modeled short-term aurora signal and Kp is broad geomagnetic context. Neither is a sighting probability. Missing values stay missing.
