Northern Lights in Florida: Will you be able to see them?

Nearly all of the United States has a chance to again see the Northern Lights on Wednesday night, even here in parts of Florida. FOX 35's Noah Bergren explains what the Northern Lights are, why they form, where you may be able to see them in Florida, and how to best capture them on your phone.

ORLANDO, Fla. - It will be mostly clear and cold again tonight but with light winds and not as low temperatures as the past two nights.

It will also be another clear night to view the Northern Lights, as a powerful geomagnetic storm approaches.

Another cold night in Orlando, Central Florida

Clear skies will allow temperatures to turn chilly once again overnight. Plan for lows to fall into the 40s by daybreak Thursday. Orlando will fall to a low of 48°.

Despite the cooler-than-normal start to the morning, Thursday's highs will rebound nicely. 

Timeline: How long will the cold front last? Here's when temperatures should warm

While temperatures will still be a few degrees below average, highs will climb into the mid 70s for Thursday and upper 70s for Friday. 

The warming trend will carry into what will be a gorgeous weekend. Temperatures will climb to highs in the low 80s under sunshine-filled skies.

Warm-up coming next week

Looking Ahead:

Next week, a major warm-up is likely as a ridge in the jet stream comes back over the eastern United States. A day or two with temperatures in the mid-upper 80s is possible by the middle of next week around the November 19th timeframe.

No rainfall is expected in the next seven days. Drought may start to develop in parts of Central Florida. 

No active systems in Tropics

Tracking The Tropics:

Things remain pretty quiet with only a very low chance of tropical development in the far southern Caribbean in the next 7–10 days.
