If we have clouds around, then we will not have any chance to see the Aurora Borealis. Now we get into the issue of the weather. We won't be able to see the Aurora Borealis during the day, but we are going to have a very good chance to see the Aurora Borealis at least on the horizon, and maybe even overhead in some spots Saturday night. The highest Kp number is expected to occur during the day on Saturday and Saturday night. Ryan Dennis Aurora Borealis Viewing Forecast Right now, the Kp number is expected to be around 6 or 7 this weekend, which means that the Aurora Borealis will likely be able to be seen in most of Montana. The larger the Kp number is, the stronger the aurora borealis is, and the further south the Aurora Borealis can be seen. The geomagnetic activity level is represented by the Kp number. When these watches are issued, that typically means that there is a good chance that some of us in the mid-latitudes will see the Aurora Borealis, often referred to as the Northern Lights. These watches go into effect at 6pm MDT on October 29th and will expire at 6pm MDT on October 31st. In response to this solar flare, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G3 Geomagnetic Storm Watch for October 30th, and a G2 Geomagnetic Storm Watch for October 31st. The coronal mass ejection (CME) from this flare was released directly toward Earth, and may reach Earth on Saturday or Sunday (October 30th or October 31st). GREAT FALLS - On Thursday, October 28th, the Sun released an X1- class solar flare, which is one of the more intense solar flares.
