What is the best time in Seattle area to see aurora tonight? Any time after nightfall?

  I suppose keep monitoring the 30 minute forecast page https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast

    It doesn’t look good tonight - 30 min forecast is negative, and then cloud cover is forecasted around 1 am.

      Ah ya, I've been refreshing the 30 minute forecast and playing back the last few hours. It doesn't seem to be progressing south towards Seattle at all unfortunately. And I hadn't even thought about cloud coverage (ty!). Agree tonight's probably not the night.

        Note that according to other comments here, that page shows a playback of the Past 24 hours and a single 30 prediction into the future.

    From forecasts on that page and other forecasts, it won't go far enough south to be visible.
