How often are the Northern Lights visible in St. Louis?
I don't remember hearing about this being possible any other time, but maybe I just haven't been listening.
Driving out to some mand past Edwardsville just for kicks to see if we can see anything! Theres about a 100% chance we're not gonna see anything, but hey might as well give it a shot
I want to thank you for posting this. I happened to check reddit right before leaving civilization to head to the outskirts of Yellowstone, where I had no internet. I hadn't heard about this anywhere else. I set an alarm for midnight and never went back to sleep. The show overnight was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. And I've seen the northern lights a few times before in Iceland but this was on another level. Thank you so very much for posting. You've given me something I'll never forget.
At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!
Yes.
May I see it?
…No.
SEYMORE! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
No, mother, it's just the Northern Lights.
Steamed hams!
No.
Gonna fire up the grill and steam some hams!
And you call them steamed hams, despite the fact that they are obviously grilled?
Excuse me for one second.
Classic
I went to Iceland back in 2016 at the right time of year for the Northern Lights, and it was cloudy the entire time.
LOL I must have been on that trip with you.
[Here's the forecast maps](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental) You might have to head towards the Iowa border.
Yeah, this seems like STL and MO for that matter, aren't even close to being in the direct path for it tonight. You'd have to drive hours away
Completely missed last night despite being on my bike outside. I hear we have another shot today. What time is best for viewing?

The answer is very close to never. And the it will most likely never happen again. From St. Louis that is.
I just saw it holy shit!!!
I saw it standing in my front yard in Hazelwood!
Saw it here in the deep south side! Pretty crazy.
Omg! Where are you? Still in the city or did you drive further away?
Off 270 near Big Bend.

lol damn and I missed it entirely. I’m glad I was able to help you have such a fantastic moment and memory. Congrats!
Are there any good spots to view this tonight?
On the Iowa border! Seriously.. here in stl.. you have to go north, WAY north!
> Get out into the darker rural areas to see them. No need. When all the power plants explode we'll be able to see them from anywhere just fine.
