Northern lights expected Sunday night over NYC area. Here's when to get the best look.
The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, were expected to appear overnight around the New York City area.
Here's when and where to get the best look.
Northern lights forecast
All of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut had a decent chance of seeing the northern lights overnight Sunday.
With clear skies in place, the northern lights were expected to be visible, especially in the northwest suburbs. The best viewing was between 10 p.m. Sunday and 2 a.m. Monday in the Hudson Valley, Catskills and northwest New Jersey.
Unfortunately, the models show little to near-zero probability of seeing them again Monday night.
The northern lights put on a show over New York and New Jersey last October, as forecasters watched for a potentially severe geomagnetic storm.
Photos from last year show the sky lit up in pink and purple across the northeast.
Forecast warms up this week
As we start the new week, a warming trend will commence. Monday looks to be an absolutely stunning day, with loads of sunshine and highs in the mid-70s.
Temperatures will rise further on Tuesday and beyond. Widespread highs in the 80s, and even low 90s, are likely as we approach the end of the week.
Humidity levels will also rise, making it feel very much like summer.
Throughout the week, not much rain is expected.
