Unfortunately it is forecast to be cloudy where I live.
Even if it’s not hazy and cloudy overnight for the first time in years I’m in the Poor viewing zone. No more than 10 years ago all it took was patience to spot some decent meteors. Can barely see any stars now.
From a big coronal mass ejection. Recall those red prominences from the eclipse? [are they they same thing or related somehow?]

As far south as Alabama possibly. DANG.
Moderating:
This being a duplicate of another thread, let’s combine them.
Some prominences eject CMEs rather than “settling back down”, if the underlying magnetic flux “snap” violently enough to detach and accelerate some of the entrained plasma.
Prominences can last for several days or up to several months. Some prominences erupt and break apart, giving rise to coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Here too.
Rrggh, never saw this thread when I started my own, since it didn’t contain my search term “aurora”… 
There goes my shortwave plans for the weekend.
Some people saw CMEs and solar prominences during the eclipse last month, and some of THEM thought they were things like Nibiru getting recharged. Nope, nope, nope. They’re natural phenomena that we usually can’t see because the Sun itself blots them out.
Here’s what the Oatmeal has said about variations of this. (Warning: contains profanity.)
I clicked on the OP link and when I first saw the viewing conditions graphic, I assumed lighter is better for appoximately a second and thought, yeah! Then I saw the condition key showed the exact opposite. The entire state of Michigan, top part and bottom part, are in the ‘poor’ zone. WAH wah.
Looks like I’m in an area of “Fair” visibility, but it’s supposed to be partly cloudy so not ideal. I will note that I’ve never seen an aurora and don’t expect to see anything tonight. But who knows – until last month I had never seen a total solar eclipse, either.
We are driving up north, planning 3 hours BUT maybe we can hit Cheyenne, eat dinner and drive out where it is dark and see the Aurora. Anyone know how high above the horizon that would be?
Aww no, I’m in Texas…
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
I’ll probably go out and take a look. But I’ve seen the aurora lotsa times. Mainly in winter, so seeing it in May would be a “huh, that’s interesting,” moment.
It’s now night here in southern Ontario, and naturally, not a damn thing is happening, aurora-wise. It’s partly cloudy, though, but still some clear sky. As I expected, the aurora once again eludes me. I’ve long been convinced that there’s actually no such thing, and anyone who claims to have seen an aurora is just hallucinating. 
You need to hang out with guys who won’t bogart their joints, man.
I saw that meteorologist on CNN talking some scary crap happening to the electrical grid and satellites.
It won’t show in the sky here.
But can we expect outages everywhere? And interruptions to satellite based things? Internet. TV. Cel phones. Airplane travel.
Just wondering.
I’m in Central Indiana, and am hopeful I’ll finally get to see it.
It’s more likely than you think.
