The aurora borealis will be visible a lot of places far south of where you usually need to be to see them, provided there are clear skies and not too much light pollution (like from a nearby metropolis). Depending on where you are, you will also need to know where in the sky to look. Explains the Washington Post:
Current forecasts project the lights could be seen as far south as Alabama to northern California, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. Chances of seeing the lights will be highest in the northern United States, Canada and northern Europe.
To maximize your chances of seeing auroras Friday night, find a dark sky location away from city lights. You’ll also want cloud-free skies. Unfortunately, considerable cloud cover will be spread over the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, although some gaps in the cloud canopy are probable. Clear skies are most likely over the central states and West Coast.
It’s also possible that auroras not visible to the naked eye will be visible if you use your smartphone camera.
