Northern Light Show tonight

[ClimbnSink]

The sun is all mad or something. Northern lights are supposed to be viewable way down south in CT and IA. Being an idiot I'm trying to figure the best time to take a look. People that make websites about astronomy do not do a good job of dumbing them down for nonastro inclined people.

I think my magnetic latitude of ~50[sup]o[/sup] (figured out by browsing the stuff on http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/Aurora/index.html ) may be too far south to see anything unless the "Kp" value is 8 or higher, but the prediction is for 7 or less.
