How reliable is a weekend aurora forecast?
The NOAA-based Kp outlook covers about three days, while the live OVATION aurora map is a much shorter 30–90-minute nowcast. This page does not present today’s aurora probability as a prediction for the weekend. Cloud cover, darkness and the forecast horizon matter.
NOAA 3-Day Geomagnetic Forecast ↗NOAA predicts the largest planetary Kp during each UTC day, not when it will occur. Preliminary city scores conservatively combine that Kp with geomagnetic latitude, local darkness and moonlight, under assumed clear skies. They exclude clouds, may overstate conditions if peak Kp happens by day, and are replaced by detailed three-day scores when available.
NOAA 27-day outlook ↗Weekend aurora forecast FAQ
What is the Northern Lights forecast for Aberdeen this weekend?
The Saturday and Sunday estimates above use the local three-day forecast when available. Further ahead, the NOAA 27-day daily Kp is combined with location, darkness and moonlight for a clearly labeled preliminary clear-sky estimate; clouds are unknown.
How far ahead can the weekend aurora be predicted?
The geomagnetic Kp outlook covers about three days. The live OVATION map forecasts roughly 30–90 minutes ahead; it cannot reliably predict the auroral oval several days in advance.
Where can I get a more detailed aurora forecast?
The Aurora Alerts mobile app includes hourly forecasts, a three-day outlook, aurora maps and customizable push alerts. Longer-range outlooks are less certain.
