Northern lights may be visible in Metro Detroit tonight

Residents of Metro Detroit should look to the sky tonight. The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a geomagnetic storm watch. This means there is a chance to see the northern lights, especially in the northern parts of Michigan. However, visibility will depend on the weather conditions. Currently, rain is falling in areas like Oakland and Macomb Counties. Genesee and Lapeer Counties are already experiencing snow showers. As the storm moves south and east, other areas may also see mixed precipitation in the coming hours. Today started off with temperatures around 48 degrees in Downtown Detroit, but it’s getting colder. A cold front has moved through the area, bringing breezy conditions with wind gusts reaching 36 mph in some places. Looking ahead, there’s good news. Forecasts show warmer temperatures coming in. Highs could reach the 50s by the end of next week. After some rain and snow early Monday, the sun should start to peek through at times. For future updates, keep checking the weather reports. If you manage to capture any beautiful sky photos tonight, consider sharing them with MIPics.
