Most Canadians could have a chance to see the northern lights tonight.<\/p>\n

A forecast from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> (NOAA) shows there is a high probability of aurora activity Wednesday night and early Thursday over nearly every province and territory.<\/p>\n

With clear and dark skies, the dazzling display should be visible directly overhead across most of B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Labrador, and the northern parts of Ontario and Quebec.<\/p>\n

If you can get away from urban lights and have an uninterrupted view of the northern horizon, the lights could also be visible from southern Ontario and Quebec, as well as the Atlantic provinces.<\/p>\n

According to the NOAA, the light show is expected to last for much of the night and peak in intensity between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. eastern.<\/p>\n

The only parts of Canada that do not fall within tonight\u2019s so-called \u201cview line\u201d are the southwestern most parts of Ontario near Lake Erie, the easternmost parts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and the northernmost parts of Nunavut.<\/p>\n

The heightened aurora activity is being caused by a coronal mass ejection, which is a large burst of plasma and magnetic field from the sun. Increased solar activity has recently led to heightened aurora activity and more frequent aurora borealis displays.<\/p>\n
