Yes, on rare occasion. The Interplanetry magnetic Field component needs to be tilted south (Bz: 2.3 nT south) to let the solar wind in. The KP Index also needs to be higher than 5 and most probably on a moonless night. You'll need to look north and low on the horizon around the Geomagnetic mid-night hour. I've seen them in Utah, Wyoming and only once as far south as Southeast Texas. Once in Melbourne Australia too. If you direct your web browser to spaceweather.com, you can see data there that may help you forecast weather they will be visible in Idaho. The Geophysical Institute has a good forecast too, just not updated as often.

∙ 14y agoSadly, No. Since there are too many lights on in California, it would be too difficult to see this wonderful moment. My dad wants to take me and my brother to Washington, but I told him no because I wanted to go to Alaska to see the famous Aurora Lights!!! Hope I answered your question!
Contrary to the above answer, yes, you can. It just depends on the light pollution of the viewing area and the intensity of the Aurora event. Often it's not as intense and obvious as in other areas, so you have to keep an eye out for the faint colors' glow. A long exposure camera shot will show the colors more clearly and help you discern what you're seeing. I have seen them in southern Indiana and in Fremont, California. I've only seen the red bands and some faint intermittent green in both locations, though. It's still very interesting and quite a sight! :)

Can the northern lights be seen in Washington DC?
No
Is it possible to predict the northern lights?
Yes, but not very long in advance. When there is a lot of activity on the surface of the sun and it ejects material towards Earth, the Northern Lights can be seen. So if the activity on the Sun is seen, then it is possible to predict that the Northern Lights will be seen in the following hours and days.
Which amazing lights can be seen in Northern Scotland?
The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis. There's a song "The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen." See the link below for song and pictures.
Are there such things as the southern lights?
Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.
Where can you see the northern lights in the United States?
The one state where you can see the Northern Lights easily is Alaska. On very rare occasion, the Northern Lights can be seen as far south as St. Louis, but generally speaking, it is unusual to see them much south of Central Canada. I live in southern Michigan, am in my 60s, and I have seen the Northern Lights here exactly twice in my life. That depends on the space weather affecting our planet. This changes the latitude at which the lights may be seen and therefore the states it can be seen from.
Can the northern lights be seen from Kentucky?
yes,the northern lights can be seen from Kentucky

What do we call the multicolored lights that are seen from the North Pole?

What is the light that is in the Noth pole?
The northern lights. The northern lights are known to be one of the most beautiful sights seen by man.
Can you see northern lights from Utah?
Yes you can see the northern lights from Utah but only on rare occasions when solar activity is extremely high. I have personally seen them in northern Utah.
How far away can the Northern Lights be seen?
20 miles away
Why can't you see the northern lights?
Northern lights are best seen in the northern latitudes and best seen on clear dark nights (little cloud - moon) and best seen outside of large cities (light pollution) They are also best in the fall and winter months. They can be very stunning!
