I'm starting to see some reports of camera visible aurora across northern Maine where skies are more clear, but also in the Catskills where clouds are thinner than across the rest of our area right now. Clouds are not working in our favor tonight, unfortunately, but I do expect some continued thinning through the night. So it's worth a look if you're out.

Summer was also drier than average, punctuated by our exceptionally dry August.
