What this score means
The 0–100 number is our viewing score, not a percent chance. It combines NOAA space-weather signals with local NWS sky cover, darkness, moonlight and North Dakota regional thresholds.
North Dakota Regional Outlook
North Dakota's northern latitude and broad dark horizons make it a strong aurora state. Local clouds and haze can matter more than city-to-city differences.
How to use this tonight
Compare the northern Turtle Mountains and Pembina first, then use the Badlands and central/southeast cards to decide whether travel is justified. Theodore Roosevelt is included for exceptional dark sky even though it sits farther south.
