Most of us are still in shock of seeing the Northern Lights last night! We Mother Nature kept our skies clear long enough to see the spectacular event AND we could see them again tonight! I have a much more in depth breakdown of those chancesin this article.

The Northern Lights area expected to be visible again tonight for much of the northern United States! They will be possible as far south as Alabama according to the @NWSSWPC! We should see them in the Cincy metro to!

After clouds and some showers to start the day we saw a gorgeous afternoon across the Tri-State. Winds were breezy but those are already calming and that trend will continue overnight. Skies will remain clear as we head into the overnight tonight and that will lead the way for a great night to try and chase the Auroras! You won't have to chase to far because the Northern Lights SHOULD be visible for most of the Tri-State. Expectations are that they will be possible as far south as Alabama once again tonight.

Mother's Day looks PICTURE PERFECT! The morning starts off cool with a low of 48°, but from there we will warm to a comfortable 75°, which is right at average. Humidity should stay low and skies should be mostly sunny! The best part is the breezy wind from Saturday should be gone. We will only see winds out of the west at 5 to 10 mph.

The next best chance for rain return Monday afternoon and evening, with Tuesday looking like our best bet. That could lead to a few wet days in a row with the next dry day looking like Thursday.
