"Heads up, Bay Area. The Northern Lights are back. After lighting up skies across Novato, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and San Rafael last night, the aurora borealis could return tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 12) thanks to a rare geomagnetic storm. When to look: 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (best around midnight)Where: Look north and find a dark spot away from city lights."
"Marin, Sonoma, and the North Bay hills could get the best views.Pro tip: Even if you cannot see much with your eyes, your phone camera may pick up the colors. NOAA says tonight's storm is a G3 (strong) so Northern California has a solid chance at another light show. Grab a blanket, find a dark spot, and keep your eyes on the northern horizon. This could be your only chance this decade to see the aurora from the Bay."
An ongoing geomagnetic storm classified as G3 (strong) is producing aurora borealis activity visible in the Bay Area. Lights appeared over Novato, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and San Rafael, and the aurora could return tonight between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., with best visibility around midnight. Observers should face north from dark locations away from city lights; Marin, Sonoma, and the North Bay hills offer strong viewing opportunities. Phone cameras may capture colors that are faint to the eye. Viewers are advised to bring blankets, find a dark northern horizon, and note that this may be the only chance this decade to see the aurora from the Bay.
