There might be another chance to catch the dazzling aurora borealis — or northern lights — Sunday night in Ontario, but based on recent forecasts, you might be running out of time.
According to the Space Weather Canada page at National Resources Canada, there’s still a “major geomagnetic storm watch” until tomorrow morning. Their forecast, as of Sunday afternoon, noted that “stormy” conditions for most of Canada are expected over the next 24 hours.
In this screenshot from the Natural Resources Canada website shows the 24-hour forecast of “stormy” conditions for the ongoing geomagnetic storm.
