Another Chance Thursday To See Northern Lights In Minnesota + IA

If your dream has been to see the Northern Lights in person, you'd better go grab another cup of coffee because tonight, that dream could come true.

Northern Lights May Show Up in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin on Thursday

UPDATE: Another chance to see the Northern Lights is expected to be great on Thursday!

Not sure if you've got one, but I have a bucket list. On it are things that I wish I could do at some point in my life and hopefully I will, but sometimes those items are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Last year, Mother Nature played nice though and I was able to cross off "See The Northern Lights" off of my list. It was one of my favorite days and I will never forget that feeling of sitting on a dark road in Minnesota and just watching the sky full of color.

If you'd love to see the Northern Lights, heads up, Mother Nature is playing nice again and could make that happen for you on Thursday, November 30th. No guarantees that the prediction will actually come true but based on the maps that NOAA.gov released, the viewing line is looking pretty good. In fact, basically all of Iowa is included this time too.

Photos of the Northern Lights in Minnesota

2023 has been a wild ride for the Northern Lights sightings in Minnesota. We've had so many opportunities this year to view the colorful display in the sky. In fact, back in March, I was able to see the Northern Lights from my deck. I just stood there and watched...it was phenomenal.
