Alaska aurora forecast
Conditions are strong for Fairbanks. Find a dark northern horizon and check the sky after local twilight.
Tonight plan
Yes, Fairbanks is one of the stronger locations in this build. Go after local twilight, face north, and prioritize an open dark horizon.
For most mid-latitude locations, a clear northern horizon matters more than standing downtown. Look north, avoid street lights, and give your eyes at least 15 minutes to adapt.
