Will Northern Lights be visible in central Pa.? Depends on who you ask.

Will we be able to see the Northern Lights in Pennsylvania tonight? The answer depends on who you ask.

Douglas Biesecker told the Morning Call in Allentown that he would be “shocked if anybody as far south as Pennsylvania would be able to see it.”

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believes there is a chance Pennsylvania could catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis Saturday night.

Biesecker told the Morning Call that tonight’s storm won’t be particularly strong, about a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5. He said the storm needs to be at least a 3 to make the lights visible in Pa.

And the remnants of Wednesday’s super moon aren’t doing us any favors, Biesecker said. The lights show up better when the sky is clear, but the moon is small.

“Overall, I’m pretty pessimistic about your chances,” he told the Allentown media outlet.

NOAA agrees that the storm is going to be rated a G2, and has put a moderate geomagnetic storm watch in effect for Saturday, March 23.

According to its projections, the line between a guarantee and possibility runs along the New York-Pennsylvania border. New England is in, northern New Jersey and Ohio are in the same boat as Pennsylvania.

How can you make the most of your chances in central Pa.?

Find a dark area that has a good view of the northern horizon. That means no lights, trees, buildings or hills to block your potential view.

The prime viewing time is from sunset to 2 a.m. according to thrillist.com.
