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.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Aurora in the north and south?
Yes, the Aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) can be seen in both the north and south hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are known as the Northern Lights and can be seen in regions close to the Arctic Circle. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the Southern Lights and can be seen in regions close to the Antarctic Circle.
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.
Why are they called the northern lights?
The Northern Lights are called so because they are predominantly seen in the northern hemisphere, such as in countries like Norway, Finland, and Canada. The scientific term for Northern Lights is "Aurora Borealis."
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.
What is the common name for Aurora borealis?
Northern Lights (or southern if in the southern hemisphere)Northern lights
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?
Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. They can also be seen from other nearby parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

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
Which amazing lights can be seen in Northern Scotland?
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, can be seen in Northern Scotland. This natural light display is caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's atmosphere, producing vibrant colors and dancing patterns in the night sky. Loch Ness is a popular spot for viewing the Northern Lights in Scotland.
Can the northern lights be seen in Washington DC?
It is very rare to see the northern lights in Washington DC due to its southern latitude. The northern lights are typically visible in regions much closer to the Earth's magnetic poles, such as Alaska and northern Canada.
What the subject have you seen the Northern Lights?
Science, the Northern lights are in the stratosphere because gases such as methane are reflecting off the sun. The Northern Lights are most visible in the Arctic region, like Alaska From: A 12 yr. old GIRL :)
