If you're wondering how best to see the Northern Lights, here's what you need to know to get the best out of the show.

If it is a G5, the Aurora Borealis could be viewable from Oklahoma, like what happened last May. Make sure to go to a place away from city lights and look north. The lights may be more visible from a phone camera.

A Geomagnetic Storm Watch is in effect for tonight as a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurdles toward earth with a real good possibility to see the Aurora Borealis, locally, especially after sunset.

Severe G4 storm conditions exist now, but they could reach a rare G5 if conditions are right, forecasters say.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts a KP index of eight Thursday night, meaning the aurora borealis is expected to be bright and active. The agency considers the event will “create the best aurora and the extended auroral oval will be observable” by a high number of people.
