What matters most tonight

Keweenaw's latitude lowers the geomagnetic threshold compared with most of Michigan, but clouds can still erase a strong space-weather setup. Use this live regional read first, then confirm darkness and your northern horizon.

Where to position yourself

Favor a safe, dark location with an open northern horizon. Copper Harbor and Lake Superior-facing areas can reduce southern light glow; Houghton and Hancock viewers may benefit from moving away from direct city lighting.

How to read this page: Kp is a broad geomagnetic index. NOAA OVATION is a modeled short-term aurora signal. Neither is a local sighting probability. Cloud cover, darkness, moonlight, light pollution and horizon quality still determine what you can actually see.
