The size of a visible Aurora will be bigger than what is shown on this map, because the map gives the overhead location of the Aurora. It's a good sign if you see a thick aurora band with some areas of light yellow, orange or, better yet, RED on this map as opposed to just a thin (or transparent) band with only dark green. It gives a 20 to 40 minute forecast of the predicted size of the aurora along with a color-coded probability of seeing the aurora over various spots on the Earth. But keep in mind that Ovation is an average, so it changes more slowly than the more dynamic Kp forecast above. The Kp number gives nice info on how large the storm is, but the Ovation map does a better job of telling you if you can actually see it. It's helpful to get confirmation of activity with NOAA's Ovation map. Be aware though, ground based light pollution and weather will have a greater impact at these more marginal locations. You might even be in luck if you are located within next lower line, but you will have to look lower on the horizon. If you are located at or above the estimated Kp line, you are in the right spot.

Now, find the Kp number line on one of the following maps that matches the Kp number predicted above. Get Aurora Alerts customized for your location.
